Wrote this the other day in the media thread, will post it here with some things added as it's relevant to this.
UK sports media is stuffed, full to the brim with utd and liverpool fanzine writers. Not that most of them are from Manchester and liverpool, but they chose them as their team when they were winning stuff.
And now it's City winning, they can't stand it. Not one of these fanzine writers actually cares about ffp, the charges, sportswashing or human rights, etc. They're only crying as they aren't winning anymore. Which is why we get so much shit and our achievments are over looked.
Also why when their own skeletons are out of the closet it's largely ignored or put right down the bottom of the website page.
Not helped by City's media department being a bunch of pussies who try and be as accommodating as possible to them.
