How do we deal with the bias

Oddly, we're still third in the Fair Play league (although this only goes on Prem matches) http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matc ... -play.html

Could be a Europa place for Swansea. IMO couldn't go to a better team.

The World is able to see and assess the Kompany tackle, the Johnson tackle, the Micah handball, the RVP elbow but it is the FA's refusal to act and allow for consistancy that is the current problem.

Which, for me, makes it even more annoying/strange when they decide to go back and review Balotelli's stamp and let some of the other appalling decisions go unpunished.

THE WHOLE POINT...and the reason we are all so wound up about this. THE FA HAVE THE MEANS TO SORT THIS...BUT REFUSE TO DO SO.

I think our 'Blue revolution' needs to stop being such a polite one. Very hard to see what can be done to stop these corrupt fuclers from carrying on though.

Fair play gets done on quality of play (attacking football rewarded etc) and respect to ref as well, think that's probably where we've got most of our points.

One thing our owners could do to diminish this state of affairs is to stop behaving so suicidally naively in its external dealing with the football world outside the club.
What happens on the pitch may be all important to fans but it is what goes on outside the club that more and more defines our place in the football hierarchy.....Since the takeover, we have made many enemies in the media, within the football industry and most certainly where it matters most....in the football corridors of power...WE REMAIN FRIENDLESS....and we seem to have done little or nothing to change that situation.

The media is almost all powerfull in the UK. It is the media that sets the agenda for the important football issues. Who represents City in the written media, who do we have shouting our corner on Talkshite, the Beeb or other radio stations, who gives the blue view on MOTD (and before you mention him, he's only there because of his Arsenal career), or Sky? Which Prem club manager is out there supporting anything rather than criticising everything City are doing?

What pressure are weputting on the FA to give us a fair shake?....and when one of the most powerful men in World football politics; Rumminigge decides to rfip into us, who do we have in those corridors of power to defend us?

Then you wonder why we get a raw deal?...Pretty obvious really and the club has got to come to terms with this and begin placing the right people in the right places or we will suffer.

God luv em...and I do, but our owners don't seem to have a clue how vulnerable we really are.

Cabaye to face discinplinary action for his actions in the Brighton game but RVP will not face any action for his elbow in the Villa game.
No bias in favour of the old big 4 yeah right.

I think the reported poaching of Soriano suggests otherwise, he is said to have a lot of pull in the corridors, a big player in the G-14.

I hope the reports are true as I believe he could help get us that level footing that we need.

there should be no need for any letters written to the fa were wasting our time bin job. its taken nearly 23 years to get to the bottom of the hillsboro disaster and still people have not got the whole truth, this is where 96 people got killed and far many more injured and lives were changed forever. and you think their bothered about the club we love getting a fair crack of the whip.dont get me wrong i suppose weve got to try summat but i think were flogging a dead horse.

I was aware of the mooted Soriano deal but as yet it remains speculation. If the deal is more than just a rumour, it means our pwners have at last woken up to the fact that we are trying to hang around with a bunch of guys who don't want to be in the pub with us.

I speak to a lot of people who support all different clubs and the one thing I can guarantee is that almost to a man they hate our guts.
Why? Many of them haven't a clue, other than because they keep reading and seeing negative shite about us, we must be a bad lot.
