Some good comments raised already.
Have a gander at betting websites and you'll come across odds with clear indications of what people truly think.
Ask the cockney rag who will win the league on some Facebook poll and his response is: united... as he doesn't want to look like a Citeh lover to his FB buddies.
Ask the same muppet to bet £100 on who will win the league on Bet365, and his response?
You know it ain't united. and the odds clearly show this.
The mainstream media aren't to be trusted and shouldn't be relied upon.

This is where the club communicates.
Many people engaged in the above are not City fans, with comments often seen on say a youtube video saying: hey, i really liked this Kompany interview, and I'm a Chelsea fan".
Written press is dying. the next generation of supporters are engaged elsewhere via social media.
Sure, many newspapers have Twitter accounts/websites but they are competing worldwide now, not just in your local newsagent.
The next-gen of supporter has access to read from 10 newspapers, the same story all straight away for free, thus will see different views.
and on his Twitter feed or facebook timeline he will also see MCFC's own tweets/posts on the same issue.
So The Sun might post a tweet saying: Rodwell thinks City are bastards bla bla bla.
Yet just above this Tweet from @MCFC it reads: good luck jack, Rodwell thanks city.
They are still relevant, but the 8yr old kid living 200miles away from Manchester right now is putting on his Sky Blue shirt, and the Gutterpress either evolve and cater for this type of supporter, or die out like the older generation of gloryseeker who followed United in the 90's.
I somehow can't see this kid coming into his teens/adulthood and thinking: hey, I've been reading Twitter/Facebook all my life, watching tv channels on youtube as well, hmmmm I might just go and buy myself a newspaper. LOL.
This is why the likes of The Sun are scrambling and launched these subscription services offering goal highlights.
Might make money from the current crop of football fan, but for many younger generation - they've been watching the football for free for the past decade.
Who will replace who writes the content for the mainstream media?
You'll find kids growing up now with more sympathy for City, who may end up being employed by the gutterpress.
