The Agenda (Merged)

[SilverFox2]

What's best -

Divert our attention from continuing to get on with the job, and argue the toss with the media, getting into a slanging match / court cases / and a tonne of bad seriously bad PR from the people we are arguing with...

or

Accept we will get plenty of crap comments, but carry on executing the plan, smiling as we do it?


Answer is obvious. We just get on with it, and let them be distracted by us, not the other way around.

I agree to an extent but with the exception of idiots like lipton on the press pass on Sunday morning. He kept referring to us as liers over the lampard deal and even the presenter told him to stop using that word. We should have gone in with a threat of slander and demanded an apology. But nothing happened as usual. I don't mind bias towards united, chelsea etc. I find it quite funny, but slander is another issue

Definitely with FC on this one.

Long memory instead of a short temper.
I seem to remember that the newspapers in particular prefer to be provocative in the hope that celebrities sue them. They may lose an extended Court case but they certainly sell more papers on a daily basis up to that final possible legal loss.

I think that if the offending media comments were responsible for adversely affecting ADUGs commercial deals then we would see a response. Until then as FC indicates we carry on with a smile on our face.

Good example is the following scenario; Last game of the season, Southampton win and City finish 2nd, meaning rags finish 5th or, City win and win title but rags finish 3rd or 4th. Which would you choose? Sadly, many would take option 1!!

I doubt there is even one blue that would choose option 1.

Agreed, I've never met a Blue whose dislike for Utd outweighed their love for City.

Really? What about when we stuffed Leeds 4-0 in the run-in to the end of the 91/92 season. Coming out of Maine Rd I heard plenty of City fans moaning that we had "handed the title to the rags" rather than celebrating a great win for City.

just trying to be even-handed as usual, that's us City fans - generous to a fault ;-)

The Saturday before Barca away, game moved to a late KO, the game after Barca away moved to an early KO, not very helpful.

coincidence mate.


as fucking if !!

So now the premier league BT and Sky have done this to ensure we don't win anything? You really need to go to Area 51 where you may well meet David Icke!
A media bias is undeniable but why would it be? There is no divine right for journalists to be biased or not. Look at newspapers political views: Not based in fact but based on preconception. Nobody seems to have a problem there. Why would newspapers/media not be pro Manure? Biggest club in England, if not Europe, if not the world. Pro rags is not anti City. It's just a 'victim mentality' that prevails amongst many posters on here.

Which would you choose? Sadly, many would take option 1!! Makes us look small time and petty. In fact, not dissimilar to assuming there is an agenda against all things City. Catch yourself on. If we're good enough we'll win stuff and if we are not quite good enough, we won't.

its a long time since I saw such crap posted on bluemoon. nobody I know would pick option 1, not one person. this "if we are good enough" shite makes me laugh. why do you think ffp was invented? because we ARE good enough, platini and co know that. why do we get the "group of death " every year? because we scare the fuck out of the cartel because we are good enough.. why especially in europe do we get disgraceful referee's? because we are scare the fuck out of the cartel because we are good enough. if we went through a season unmolested, with draws that are not bent, in groups that are truly random, with players we are free to buy and referee's not on the take we would win almost everything. there is a clear agenda to stop us. because are THAT good.

the jounos are just bitter cunts searching for clicks, they are nowhere near in platini's class.

Different circumstance entirely from the first example. That was a league game compared to United getting a title. I would always prioritise the latter not happening over a single game of no real significance to ourselves.

But would I sacrifice a title for us so United finish 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or anywhere? Of course not and no blue would.

You should be embarrassed posting that, support your team and forget about that lot.
