Our PR department and the media

Watched MCWFC yesterday and the commentary team were beside themselves that Birmingham were annihilated. They wanted the Laws rewritten so that the Brummie goal was worth four at the time it went in. I fancy they all traipsed home rather down in the dumps.

Sue Smith, fountain of knowledge of all things female football was going for a Birmingham win 1-0 well before the game kicked off. Wishful thinking - think it and the wish might come true. The whole FemaleDipperArseReadingBirminghamYeovilMeedya were desperate for us to get turned over. As a City fan yer couldn't help but be delighted that the girls saved their best performance of the season for a showpiece like that and stuff it to desperate hacks and hackettes!

And how the press loved Manuel. So much so that after his haul of two trophies in his first year he won MotY hands down. Oh, wait a mo, didn't Pulis win it that year for coming a plucky eighth

Pulis reached the dizzy heights of 11th with Palace that season. They were considerably closer to a relegation place than they were to the rags in 7th place.

Certainly looks like it to me. The joke seems to be that zabba looks pissed off in the photo, and the hilarious gag appears to be that he is pissed off that he has received a city season ticket.

They just can't help themselves.

The Rag appointed BBC Sport Social Media Editor is being paid a shit load of money for a job which essentially boils down to collectively w**king off the Rag's whilst slyly taking the piss out of City at every possible opportunity. The job was advertised at Pay Grade 10D, which in 2014 equated to between £39,649 and £62,744

They miss the point that it is a symbolic gesture by the club, like an honourary life member. Haters gonna hate, Zaba knows how much he is loved and thats all that matters really.
 
Call me cynical but I think they're purposely using this pic because of empty seats. It's the away end. You can imagine the comments. Reposted this morning but last night it was full of the usual.

Yes, I think you're being overly cynical!

I think the BBC coverage of this has been pretty good.
 
So it seems Bayern are taking legal action over a Stuttgart newspaper, after they reported Kimmich was unhappy with the lack of game time he was getting, and that he would be coming to us.
Bayern's chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has branded the rumours as a "massive fallacy".

Now I don't really like Karl-Heinz as he's not been shy of spouting nonsense about our club in the past, but I respect the guy for taking it to the papers, and it's the one thing that has annoyed me really with Khaldoon, the fact that the media over here has got away with spouting so much bullshit about our players and the club, yet no action gets taken against them.

I'd like to see City be a bit more stern with the media, instead of just lapping it up and taking it on the chin.
 
How does Bluemoon differ to a newspaper / online edition? Freedom of speech and legal suits for libel / slander are polar opposites. There are plenty of media organisations that have been effectively closed down in the past for asking awkward questions. Of course there is also a lot of bad journalism but better to have free journalism which is 95% garbage than no journalism at all. There is also the argument that most of the media are owned by huge companies or run by the state so the idea that the opinion that publish is independent is misleading.
