It's not what Scholes said that bothers me. It's the staggering disrespect afforded to us by ITV that bothers me.
Adrian Infantile is well named and apart from the anchor BT Owen is perhaps the worst pundit/presenter on TV.
As for that nice Mr Scholes, unprofessional is the best way to describe him. He actually showed himself up and was a poor advert for ex pro players.
We were poor on the night true, but the fact that Scholes got ripped into us even before a ball was kicked proves that he came to the game with an anti City agenda.
Enough ITV don't bite the hand that feeds you.
We have a way to get back........simply don't buy any products from the firms who advertise during their match coverage.....the one tune ITV does dance to is the one played by their advertisers.

- Phil Neville on MOTD
- Gary Neville on Sky
- Paul Scholes on ITV
- Rio Ferdinand on BBC at the World Cup
... anyone spot a pattern ?
What's amazing is that two of those people (PN, PS) must be amongst the most boring people on TV, and two of them can't even speak clearly (PS, RF) - I can't even tell what PS is mumbling on about most of the time.
And unfortunately, they all hate City (though to give GN credit, he manages to hide it most of the time, although it comes out in certain articles and interviews - but the others don't even pretend).
It can't be right, can it ?

Blame everyone apart from ourselves? Fuck the excuses for not being there tonight, I'm sick of hearing the shit spouted on here to justify their decision not to go and support the lads. Everyone who normally goes but didn't bother tonight is the reason Scholes had us on toast tonight. its your fault not his.
For all you conspiracy theorists who think we are being stitched up let me draw you another scenario. Scholes and ITV turn up tonight to find a packed stadium with a hostile atmosphere that drives the team on to a glorious victory. How much fun would Scholes have had then?
I had 8 rows of empty seats in front of me as I watched from my season ticket in tier 3 of the East stand. Disgrace. "We've not taken to it", "the ticket prices", "I can't afford it", PATHETIC. Are our fans really the poorest people in football? Really?, the scoucers who have fuck all will sell out every CL match. It was the crowd who dragged them over the line in their last game in the CL.
Tonight we had no crowd, hence no atmosphere and no passion. Sheikh Mansour must wonder why he bothered.
Either support City or don't. Get to the game, forget the excuses, find a way, and make yourself heard. Period.

I can't fucking afford £120 extra at minimum for 3 games.
Then maybe we need to revisit how big we really are because from where I was sat no fucker was sat in your seat or 10,000 others. I wonder how many people who couldn't afford to go tonight could somehow find the money for a ticket if we got to the final?
Ultimately I felt sorry for the owner tonight, watching the team he's ploughed millions into playing in a half empty stadium and the only singing he could hear was in Italian. Disgrace.
The truth is that real supporters don't watch their teams home games from the comfort of their armchair or with a pint in the pub, they find a way to be their and cheer on the team. Appears we haven't got as many of them as we thought!
Way off target with those figures so I assume your a Rag !!! A true fan would ultimately know what our capacity would be.

Its glaringly obvious he is lurking vermin with his constant size of crowd references, there is about half a dozen of them on this thread, you don't need to look much further than his name.
Poor chap is feeling a little inadequate because he invested so much of his self esteem in his football team and now they aren't even on Channel 5 on Thursday night, he reverts to the default setting of going through the red issue checklist, fucking herbert.
