Is the media finally turning??

Jose needs to know and understand the phrase 'people in glass houses ...'

I'm amazed more people don't understand what FFP is about. Martin Samuel bangs the drum long and loud. Chelsea's hypocrisy on the subject is breathtaking.

Yesterday's Observer included a very complimentary piece on Hells Pells background whilst tittering at Moyes claims of 'bad luck'. It wouldn't have happened a year ago. The media are deffo turning.

I like Martin Samuel, and hes been spot on about FFP ever since it was dreamt up.

The media is still rag favourable and perhaps always will be. Moyes has got and continues to get a free ride, and I'm not sure that will ever change. Probably only after he gets sacked one day. Apparently this is only because he has a 6 year contract, but I can't believe that would stop them if it was some other club falling down the table like Moyes is doing.

That said, as things stand I wouldn't want the media to change. I prefer them being nice about Moyes, I don't want pressure on him building because I want him there as long as possible. So for the time being, everyone is happy.

Bottom line is that the media are always more pro a winning side. As soon as we lose a couple of games they will be on our case again. You only have to see the negative press United got this weekend to realise this

[City64]

Doesn't look like it looking at todays papers. The rags(the champions) lose their 8th game in the league. Yet it's shite like paying bob 10m. Our rivals trying to stitch us up. Long way to go before they turn.

Absolutely this ! A whole load of shite stirred up and thrown our way the last few days before our biggest game of the season .

I thought Barcelona was on the eighteenth?

Fuck me Barcelona is a CL game ! Tonight is our biggest game so far in domestic Premier League football ......... we win tonight we take control !

Would never have seen articles like this a year ago:

A lot of players want out of Manchester United', says Anderson, as he warns of Old Trafford summer exodus

Brazilian midfielder Anderson completed a loan move to Fiorentina during the January transfer window and claims more players are ready to follow him out of Manchester United

[Jorgobot]

That Mario/Mancini fight incident is and interesting one.When it happened I was surrounded by paps taking routine pictures and hoping for something special and we could not believe what unfolded in front of us.

It was a game of maybe 9 or 10 aside and AJ got a ball on the left side and went passed Mario.Mario was being a little lazy and just flicked out at AJ to trip him up.A petulant foul and nothing more but Mancini flew over to Mario in a rage giving him an unreal verbal bollocking. Mario virtually didn't react and maybe (it was a distance away) just smiled and my guess is that reaction really wound Mancini up.

Mancini then basically lost it ,grabbing and pushing Mario to the amazement of watching players.I will always remember Rekik watching on open mouthed.Pictures inevitably got the the papers in quick time but as I remember it the "blame" seemed to be more pointed at Mario than Mancini.There were supposedly eye witness reports on what happened which suggested a violent challenge by Mario.As I understand it the eyewitness was the photographer who took the pictures.He told me how amazed he was that despite what he had seen and reported it was Mario that got the blame and not Mancini.Surely not the first occasion that he had become aware that the press don't worry about the truth when they can pursue their own agenda.

This is quite enlightening...

Enjoyed reading this thread.

Fuck the media.

[gillie]

Anyone who thinks the press/media are turning should now know after the Yaya non banning that they are not.

[Hazy2]

Jose is running scared of us and the media lap up his shite, keep winning City this cunt is gonna crack, he might beat us Saturday, we we can still walk the league.

[gillie]

After what I regard as the most biased media coverage of a cup final ever namely today's COC final.All I can say is the tvand written media fuckin hate us.

Absolutely.

Tbf to Quinn & Co, even Nev**** they wanted Sunderland to win, but were also complimentary about City when we got our shit together.

My problem is with the people who chose them, who picked a camera angle showing Sunderland fans when we lifted the cup, ignored the Mike Doyle tribute, & then after the game, made Redknapp show slomo replays of a so called 'foul' by Nasri before Yaya's goal, which not one of them actually thought was a foul.

An attempt by someone on the Sky production team, to take as much gloss as possible from City's victory, which tbf none of the 'experts' joined in with.

Someone in that organisation, is trying to put a negative slant on City.

I know one of Ferguson's sons used to work in that team, but I have no idea if he is still there.

[Dubaimancityfan]

All I can say is fuck them all.

When they looked at the so called foul before the Yaya goal I am convinced that Quinn was going to say something like it could easily have been given or crap like that.But Phillips got in early with the sensible answer that it was a foul on Silva first and then NOT a foul by Nasri as he got he ball before he was kicked.

Sort of demolished what they were planning to say.

Don't forget the red background used twice when showing us as winners - I bet someone at Sky rubbed his little hands together at the thought of that one.

[Ted Hughes]

BBC highlights show was a lot more even handed than Sky, even though they also had an ex Sunderland player on commentary.

Still had to laugh when they zeroed in on the Sunderland fans' 'noise' at the end though; apparently they were all loudly singing 'Blue Moon' which was very respectful of them.

I have just watched that this morning, I thought Phillips was excellent and actually de-railed any of their attempts to put us down.

Well done that man

[Slim]

Phillips wasn't unbiased obviously. But he was very intelligent and read the game properly. His comments about Pellers needing a win was on the money, when Quinn made a similar point he just had to put a bitter old cunt slant on it.

[The Maine Man]

The Sky Sports website football page is covered in what Maureen has been saying about our PL chances, with our Cup win tucked out of sight. On the plus side it shows how much this must be hurting the biased cunts.
