once again you are saying things that are patently not true, no matter how many times you say it. reread the thread
why are you so averse to me asking a question? if i don't agree with something why shouldn't i ask for reasons why you think otherwise
not so unreasonable.
its like its sacrilege to have a differing view
"you and your ilk" now who's being condescending, you want it both ways
yourself, de niro, george hannah, think there is more to the media bias(pro utd, liverpool, to which if you had read the thread will know i wholeheartedly agree with) than meets the eye, where as myself and quite a few others think otherwise
therefore there is a debate to be had, if you think that it condescending so be it.
Hit a nerve have i eh? pure bollocks that post mate. You defend everything but disregard what you want. At the end of the day you rule out the 100s of examples that blues provide yet you try to use 1 or 2 examples of your proof. Who does that and expects to be taken seriously.
Nail on the head, they discount the hundreds of examples and then jump on 'anything' and I mean 'anything' that might suggest the contrary view.
There was a positivity thread not so long ago and I literally begged for the nay Sayers to keep the thread going with positive stuff about the blues and guess what, it died a miserable death. I actually wanted to be proven wrong, for the weight of evidence to demonstrate that I was only viewing things through blue tinted specs. Sadly, it only served to reinforce my belief.
It's not whether there is an agenda, it's how deep and far rooted it is that is up for debate.
Take our start to the season, I said at the start of the season that it was set up for us to make a poor start, that allied to the champions league draw, and that this would play into the negativity amongst the fans and a lack of momentum. It's playing out perfectly, with our fans now talking about root and branch restructuring of the squad, replacing the manager and even Txiki and ferret being questioned, we are simply playing to their tune.
No consideration of the mitigating circumstances, losing in the last minute against Bayern, a penalty given in the last 5 minutes against CSKA and the the debacle of decisions against us vs CSKA. Without this our start in the champs league would have been pretty decent.
The hysteria is frankly ridiculous, but it's exactly what the authorities would want, teams don't play well low on confidence and when their own fans are slagging them, it's not rocket science.
I'm hoping that the run of fixtures now will give us an opportunity to turn it round but that will be in spite of the fans rather than because of them.
