so this agenda thing.

[Anonymous]

It's co-ordinated alright but you don't have to accept that - it is a shared agenda which has exactly the same effect

I doubt it's co-ordinated but it is clear that individuals in the RagDipperMeedya only want to publish or broadcast a story that has a negative slant. They are all buying into the KickMCFC Hymn Book Revised Edition or the European Edition.

Full page story in the DT this morning about Pellers, the main thrust of which is that he should expect the sack

I'm not defending Pellers in any way but does anyone recall an article about sacking Bodgers or Moyes? There are two approaches that the RagDipper Meedya employ. The interesting, positive, sympathetic article, depending on the result for teams like The Rags, The Dippers, Spurs or the Arse. CFC also get a decent press because Moaninho is a darling of the Press Corps and haven't BT signed him up for some chinwaggery? For City when there is a blazing demolition of a team we might get a lone journo singing our praises, but most times it's stiletto between the ribs.

There were loads about Moyes potentially getting the sack. You just chose to forget them as it suit your argument.

Not in October/November there wasn't.

As soon as there were articles about him getting the boot I knew the journists had been given their orders from the PR machine at the swamp.

Wasn't it Mark Ogden who tweeted the sad news first?

it's about the weight of the evidence for an anti-City agenda Frank, counterexamples exist but are comparatively rare, that's the whole point.

That's only because there isn't an airline called Thick Scouse Wankers Airways.

That is not bias though. Just an idiot writing it.

I suppose its not racist either.?

Some other fans will notice it. But the majority of fans will read it and just think yeah that's it's shitty city they're a laughing stock, without actually looking at the facts. It's becoming a big problem with our own fans, some of us believe the shit they print and start flapping. I've learnt in the past year to ignore them and just look back on what weve won in the last few years, the most successful english club for 5 years now.

The shit we get will never go away so it's best to try ignore it, it's worked for me. I used to make myself look like a twat when arguing with other fans over city, but always got out numbered by idiots who believe the crap what is said about us. Fuck them all.

Always good to expose hypocrites in the media. Nothing to be gained by just ignoring them.

They always expose themselves Moomba otherwise they wouldn't be what they are and these days its usually the media itself that does the work for us.

Just like Savage and Lawro and others etc have recently been exposed in the media by the media as hypocrites.

This hits the nail on the head. Of course it is a subtle form of racism but it reflects a lot of people's thinking in this country. Talksport panders to the lowest common denominator. Probably why it makes money.

Many years ago I was a Maine Road watching City play some easily forgettable team (I'm sure someone will remind me) when Horlock went to head a ball and nearly had his head kicked off.
He did not protest, he did not dive, he did nothing but still got sent off.
The referee later said it was for 'walking aggressively'.

Bluemoon wasn't around then but if it had someone would have posted that the referees had been instructed/coerced/bribed to be bent and there was an agenda to get us relegated.
