The blue and white ribbons are the corporate colours of Barclays as well as the Champions.

People just finding things to get pissed off about and completely ignoring things like this, for a change.

Indeed they do. I just watched a Sun Sport on Sunday ad for tomorrow's papers, with part of the ad showing 2 united fans crying in the car, with a load of city fans walking past, obviously celebrating another derby win.

As for the posts re the PL trophy, it's usually red and navy blue throughout the season - Sky's colours.

I think they actually did have sky ribbons on a couple of years ago.

Anyway, over the Summer BT and Sky had billboards with us celebrating goals, one with Suarez looking gutted in the background, one with us lifting the Prem trophy...when in years gone by they have had images of a player from all the top teams, even with United as champions. If that was the case this Summer we'd have people on here saying "are we not that champions? you wouldn't know it, they're trying to hide it that's for sure!"

If we'd had the Summer of adverts that Arsenal have had there'd be uproar!

Yet - using your example - we have an advert with a United fan crying in a car with City fans celebrating outside and this place ignores it and just looks for, searches high and low, even in the depths of the shite press just to find a small derogatory remark. This week the word was "splashing" about us "splashing the cash" (yes something a trivial as this gets twenty pages on this forum) yet the advert with the United fan crying is totally ignored.

Had it been a City fan crying and United fans outside celebrating, you could all 100 pages to this thread.

Exactly, it would have been mental on here! Sky sports news at 10am then focused on managers who won the league in their first season - Mourinho, Ancelotti and of course, pellegrini. I wonder if united fans are accusing Sky of setting van Gaal up to fail with that, because you can bet your house that if this time last year that same clip was shown in focus on pellegrini's first season, many on here would accuse them of exactly that.

Pigeonho, what happens to you mate?

You completely disappeared when we were charging to another Premier League title and putting it along side the League Cup.

I was worried. You missed all the celebrations and happy times. I bet you just wanted it all to die down because the ol' ticker couldn't take the happiness of it all.

Glad to have you back though. Just don't go getting yourself in trouble again ;)

BTSport sent me a missive recently. Coloured envelope with Dick van Miffy in solo mode scoring the GotS. Inside the cover of the book/pamphlet had City winning the title and then fuck all in the rest of the book. MANUre appear again with the usual culprits. Nothing changes.

When I logged onto Blumeoon just now I'm fairly sure that the top of the page there was a Chevrolet ad featuring united players

Just posted this in the Peterloo thread, I was talking about local museums but I think this part of the post may sit better in this thread:

'I wasn't impressed with the football museum, I can understand having rag shit in the displays but the shop on the way out was full of rag shite, surely there shouldn't be any bias in there?'

On BT Sport now they've got the build up for the game on and nobody in the studio thinks United will finish in the top four, this was live on air to the nation.

On Drive Time on talkSPORT this week they've had Ray Parlour and Matt Holland both said United won't challenge for the tile, and two phone-in guests (Paddy Power and Begović) both said the same thing. All live on air to the nation.

I think de Niro, George Hannah et al must hear it played backwards which, to them, is broadcast as:
City won't win anything. Van Gaal will win the lot. We hate man city. Man U are the best.

If anyone who believes that there is not a media bias against the club in certain papers could read the article in The Guardia regarding Toure and then listen to the press conference from MP and explain that there is no bias.

There are lies damn lies and Guardian articles. The line that did it for me "Asked if Touré may be one, the manager would not be drawn. “We will see in the next days,” he said, though it is understood that Pellegrini was referring to Dzeko and not Touré."

You what? I read the Guardian article before seeing your post. It wasn't particularly sensationalist and, if anything, showed the strength of the club. The first two paras below:

"Yaya Touré will not be offered a new deal despite the midfielder’s disquiet at the close of last season, when his agent complained Manchester City had not given him a birthday cake.

While Touré’s unhappiness may have been viewed as a way of improving his £220,000-a-week salary, the club are holding firm. Although Edin Dzeko is expected to agree fresh terms next week – and Joe Hart at some point in the future – to join Sergio Agüero, David Silva and Vincent Kompany, who all did so in the past few days, Touré will not be among them."

Very refreshing, let's see if it continues, keep the examples of neutrality or blue bias coming, only another million or so examples required to level the playing field.

Interesting that the football specific site features those three, but their general sports site only features City.

People just finding things to get pissed off about and completely ignoring things like this, for a change.

Extremely disingenuous example. If you sign up to ESPN it actually states on it's page that follow your favourite team and not only will they appear in your menu bar, but they will follow YOU across the site

It's very easy for savvy websites to personalise what content you see dependent on your preferences and they can even use data on historical parts of the site that you visit frequently to serve up relevant content. Plus that is just a rolling scroll bar it's not even a fixed video.

When I go to that site I don't get anything that even closely resembles what you have posted. Some city fans will go to any means to try and prove an agenda doesn't exist.

Even big fat tomatoe head Brazil hasn't really had a good word for Van Gaal
Oh and he said we will piss it.

The onus isn't on those who wish to disprove something - the burden of establishing proof is on those who assert something to be the truth.
That's how the legal system works.
That's how scientific theory works.
And you can't prove a negative anyway.
No mention of us again on the shipping forecast this morning, if you'd like to make a note.

Oh my goodness, just listened/watched Mr Pellegrini being interviewed by Garth Crooks.................. Mr P had him bang to rights, 'Jack Rodwell has said that if you are an English player you won't get a chance at Manchester City' (paraphrased) Mr Pellegrini, very quietly but firmly, 'I don't think you'll find that he said that'!!! Brilliant. absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for the lesson.

I think you'll find I have done in many previous posts, including very recently & funnily enough exactly the one's you choose to ignore.

Taking my tinted specs off, you would think it relevant to include the champions of this league, in one of the 5 image splits they have?

Even on the far right, in the image split, it just shows the Trophy, not the player lifting it, just the trophy.
Yes I'm aware the ribbons on the trophy are in our colours, but I ask you to remember this screenshot - and if the Rags win this this season (lol)
They'd be showing far more than just the trophy.

What evidence I hear you say. Well it's impossible to produce it here.

And there we have it, Len.
I have the same circuitous journey to nowhere with folk in the Cellar every time we have a 'religion' thread, and the parallels here are clear.
Folk of faith all believe in some form of God, regardless of any quantifiable proof or evidence.
Agenda-istas do the same, regarding their belief in an agenda.
Now being a pragmatic kind of guy, I tend to believe in what can be proven, rather than that which can't - to me this seems an eminently sensible and reasonable way to think, which explains why I personally don't believe in the existence of either an agenda or a supreme being.
Yet on here, we have agenda-istas who are quite happy to laugh at those of faith for believing in something which cannot be proven in the deity department, whilst quite happily signing up for believing in something which also can't be proven in the agenda department.
It's like a selective pick 'n' mix into the realms of hypothesis, and both funny and ironic in equal measure.

Orchestrated agenda or just plain bias pandering to the old Big 4 team's fans makes no difference.

City get reported in a worse light, in general, than the old elite. The proof is in the papers on a daily basis.

You have proven precisely nothing.
Nothing exists until it's existence can be proved.
You can quote all the random snippets of tabloid verbiage you like, but it doesn't constitute proof of anything, other than lazy, incompetent journalism from biased hacks paying their bar bills, but then we knew that already.
I don't need to prove that something I don't believe in doesn't exist.
You, on the other hand do, and haven't done to date.
I'll leave you to your Don Quixote-esque adventures.

The proof list is too big it should be plain to see every day.
