You've raised this argument for non agenda before and it is just as invalid now as it was then.Didsbury Dave said:Just to put things in perspective, although perspective is what many of you lack:
Everton fans convinced of agenda against their club:

Now that's just starting with England's top eight. I could go right down the pyramid should I desire, and abroad. Most football fans are not capable of being remotely objective about their club because they only see things from their own perspective.
Just because all fans think there is an agenda against their club it doesn't follow that there is no agenda against any club.
I can agree with you that fans will look at things from their own perspective. I'm sure the 'agendist' Liverpool fans were happy to ignore last season's media 'love in' including their many ex player pundits. Also the United fans will conveniently ignore the many media outlets that have an in built pro Rag agenda, driven by commercial interests.
So where are the pro City factions in the media ? Apart from the odd balanced Martin Samuel article in the Mail and a few pro City statements from Durham (wumming purposes only) and Wedderburn on Sky there aren't many.
The smell of that coffee is going to overwhelm you soon!
