A mate of mine is an armchair rag. He openly admits it. If Utd win, he's happy; if they don't, he's soon over it.
I've no problem with the lad because he's honest about it and he doesn't care what anybody thinks about him for it. That's the level of his commitment and that's all there is to it.
So, why am I posting this on the agenda thread, you ask?

At a party last night, he turned to me, completely out of the blue and said, "You know what? I think City are like an embarrassing cousin for Sky. There's a do on and they've got to invite him but when he gets there, they do their best to ignore him and secretly hope, he'll quietly piss off, as soon as possible."
...

The reason being that not only are their beloved Rags no longer the best team in the country, they're not even the best in the City they profess to represent. Accepting us would also mean accepting this damaging fact.

I the last two lines, that'll do for me, thank you! =)
 
Re: so this agenda thing.

Headline tomorrow:
"United close the gap on the leaders to 9 points."
GUARANTEED.
 
'Agenda' no more apparent than right now

We sit at the top of the table with Chelsea. There is nothing to separate us - same points, goals scored, goals against. And yet...

90% of what I have read in the papers, heard on the radio or seen from pundits on TV has made it clear that Chelsea are miles better than us this season. I hear about their rock solid defence and our shaky one - although we've conceded the same number of goals. Their lethal attack and our total reliance on the injured Aguero - yet we've scored the same number of goals.

I was watching Soccer Saturday the other week and when discussing Costa's brilliance, Matt Le Tissier dared to say that he'd rather have Aguero in his team than Costa. The other 4 pundits, in particular Phil Thompson, scoffed at it and looked at Le Tiss as if he'd just spewed up dog shit out of his mouth.

Mourinho is constantly referred to as a genius and the best manager in the game. Yet our manager won the double in his first 'transition' season (the excuse they use for Van Gaal this season) - not only that, Mourinho sets up his team against us by parking the bus through fear of getting battered with the hope of catching us on the break. I guarantee that they will also set up like that at the Bridge in a few weeks. Some say football is an entertainment business - under Pellegrini we play by far the prettiest and most intricate passing football in the league combined with a directness that constantly creates chances like the 32 we had today. Match of the Day tonight gave us no credit by the way, save for a (deserved) Lampard love-in.

Robbie Savage announced last month that Chelsea would 'run away with the title' and he wasn't alone - Chelsea have had it 'in the bag' since they signed their missing jigsaw pieces Costa & Fabregas in the summer. Are these pricks so stupid that they forget what happens so often - United in April 2012, Arsenal December 13, Liverpool in March. Do they write us off through stupidity or is something else going on?

There is no way Chelsea have been better than us this season. The proof is in the league table. Yet according to the media they are STREETS AHEAD. We have apparently gone backwards & made bad signings. Level with Chelsea, and look at our injury problems! According to the media the only team struggling with injuries this season is United - but have they had the whole spine of the team out for crucial matches? Their 4 best players all out at the same time? Match of the Day criticised our defence last week with no mention of the fact that our captain, & best defender in the league, is out injured.

I'm totally sick of the biased shit I read and hear week after week - even Gary Lineker alluded to it last week. People will say that every clubs fans think the media is anti their club. But in our case it is actually true. I think the reason is pure jealousy mixed with the fact that many high-level journos support the clubs that were big when they were kids (United/Liverpool) or London clubs as most of them are London based. Whatever the reason, it stinks. People will say don't read or listen to the pundits, but this is part and parcel of the enjoyment you get from football - waiting for the reaction & phone-ins after a good result.

God I haven't even mentioned the constant money jibes which are only levelled at us. The bottom line is that there is an agenda, the media in general does not treat us with an even hand. It's extremely frustrating as a fan & I can't see it changing any time soon. Pellegrini wants us to get the credit we deserve, and so do I. We are the best team in the league by a distance when fully fit - not bad for a bunch of mercenaries with no team spirit...
 
Re: 'Agenda' no more apparent than right now

Well said but the only advise I can give is ignore them.
 
Re: 'Agenda' no more apparent than right now

Let's check the papers tomorrow:

No reference to Chelsea blowing a nine point lead; check

No reference to Chelsea being a one man team; check

No reference to the cost of united's squad and the size of their wage bill; check

No reference to united's underperforming 'egos'; check

Again and again these disrespectful motherfuckers fail to provide any form of objectivity and balance when reporting on us.

Let their unbridled pain continue.
 
Re: 'Agenda' no more apparent than right now

Great rant and yet you still managed to forget the referees!
 
Re: 'Agenda' no more apparent than right now

I like it and the pressure & expectation is clearly getting to them. Love the look on their face throughout last night's match.
 
Re: 'Agenda' no more apparent than right now

Even the bookies are still against us :)

Chelsea still clear favourites - typically 4/6 and City 6/4.

It is as if the whole world and his uncle are stuck in some warped mindset and don't see the wheels falling off the Mourhino machine. Last 5 away games for Chelsea in the league W1 D2 L2.
 
Re: 'Agenda' no more apparent than right now

The media do not like being proved wrong , we have rammed their jibes down their throats in 2012 & 2014 and we will do it again in 2015 , we are despised by the majority of pundits and journos and the more vitriol we recieve,it is proof of how much we are hurting these bastards , and long may it continue.
