MOTD - Media Bias Against City

[Slim]

Picked on Balo? I thought he did some good work and took an absolute beating for his trouble. Was I watching the wrong game?

Just a different one to everyone else :)

As long as we still won 3-0, that's okay. And that pink flamingo flying into the ground to stop David Silva's certain goal was one of the more remarkable things I'll ever see in a football match.

BBC tore into him like he was a complete waste of space. He had a frustrating game but not his worst and he seemed to be victim of a few fouls and was limping at times. Seemed to be in the wrong place too often today.

Just watched the rerun. Isn't it wonderful that United are doing work in the community. Thanks for the BBC for highlighting this. I wish other clubs would do such.

Wouldn't mind them picking out his bad bits if they also picked out others - the pass to Tevez that led to the foul and goal or perhaps just one if the numerous 'tackles' on him. Either he dived several times yesterday or was assaulted. Whichever it was, it deserved highlighting. MOTD showed none of them, either in the game or in the special Mario section afterwards.

I'm tempted to pay for Sky just so I don't have to watch them

[Ted Hughes]

The bit on Chelsea as the 'English Barca' basically highlighting them trying to do what we did much better at Fulham & were described as poor.

Then a hatchet job on Mario, to follow last week's on VK. No mention of the sterling performance by several England internationals, even though there are former England internationals who usually spend half their time boring us to death talking about England, hosting the show.

It's a bad state of affairs when you actually get a fairer viewpoint from Gary fucking Neville than on MOTD.

[Beefymcfc]

It's a bit crap ain't it. Just the point that they'd show England's Champions 5th in the running order of 6, who have had a very good win after some uninspiring displays, says it all really.

We talk about bias in all elements of the game but when the Beeb decide they won't even give us the time of day then you know there is something seriously wrong. And I have no option but to help them do it.

Motd2 - lawro is so much easier to watch when he's not sitting next to shearer and Hansen.

He looks a cunt, or is it just that hair around his mouth?

[Superbia]

Fuck me Huth is one dirty bastard I really want to see a ban for the cunt.

[Beefymcfc]

Fuck me, Lawro's just said that we have the best referee's whilst saying that they laughed at Saurez' dive. Is that not a yellow for diving you fuckwit?

There are some on the matchday thread worrying about what they will say.
So might aswell get it up save anybody the trouble later on tonight.

1...We were shit.
2...Jimmy Milner sending off was too lenient...he should have been publicly ceremoniously executed at half time.
3...Twattenberg was well out order allowing the City goals.
4...Taking off Balo was a racist decision and Mancini should be banned and fined.
5...Dzecko deserves better treatment by Mancini and should leave City to continue his career.

You're out with 4 - no way they'll do anything but crucify Mario. Think the rest is about right though.

[Beefymcfc]

It's going to be about Mario's attitude (plus how he should've been off), Mancini's misplaced loyalties and how Brom should've had 3 penalty's.

Then, they'll start having a pop at us.

[Chinners]

Who cares, we won. Only City fans can get negative over a win
