What is the betting that, in the next few days, there is at least one story plastered all over the papers that is there to try and unsettle the club before one of the biggest games in our recent history?

I'm sorry if I sound paranoid but I wouldn't be surprised to see some headline in the tabloids on Wednesday about this player being unhappy at the club or that player scrapping with that player of another player being involved in some sort of scandal.

I honestly believe that certain parts of the media will do everything in their power to make sure Spurs finish 4th.

Well on the surface KK it sounds like paranoia, but without a doubt it is reality.

Almost guaranteed to be a story that Mancini's replacement has signed a contract

Just a thought on predictions.

From William Hill.
Man City Win:10/11
Draw:12/5
Tottenham Win:9/4

How does that saying go 'Just because your paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get you'

I think they do more damage than some realise. Although I don't really contribute I am a regular visitor on here. I think I can get a balanced (?) view of media reports just from reactions on here.My dad, a lifelong blue who has passed his blue genes to his children and grandchildren, told me today that he thought Tevez and Bellamy were leaving because most the players don't like Mancini. My dad's not media savvy, and never visits the internet, so he sees and hears the rubbish in the tabloids and thinks there is some substance to it. He's of the generation that thought doctors were always right.If you hear something often enough you start to believe it. I haven't seen any stories about Crouch, Defoe et al as 'Arry is the darling of the media, plus we don't want to upset any potential England players.There's also a lot of sour grapes around because of the money.

Hasn't the Micah to Spuds resurfaced and now we've got Ned to the 2nd Class Scouse. Anything else?

I'm seeing the 1st signs of 'Tevez to Real Madrid' shite so that could be the 1st one. There's a few Robinho stories wafting about but they'll quickly realise nobody gives a fuck about him & get back onto lying about the players that actually matter.
