Good old media...City survive scare...

City are the only unbeaten side in the competition and just won both legs, the key strong bottle performance coming in the 2nd half. Won easily, was my take. Easily. Dortmund couldn't cope from about 30 minutes in.

We conceded how many goals in this competition ?..yep....we barely scraped through.

Stinking Munchen , Dipper , (add any other team here ) Pundits.

Pathetic.

City "survive" dortmund scare to secure semi final spot
As reported on Sky shits
We won... both legs.... 4-2 agg.......
Words fucking fail me fellow blues.......

BT a sports commentator when we scored the pen - “City have a lifeline now” sorry what?! We’re going through dick head!!

Same commentary also on the romanian feed, so you have to start to wonder.

I don't think there is a worldwide conspiracy against us, don't think BT is calling Sky, who calls Digi Romania, who calls Vanuatu and together they decide on zoom to speak shite about City. I turned this around many times and I think outside England many of them are supporters of Real, Barcelona, Rags, Criminals, etc. Then Chelsea came and they attacked it, then City, then PSG.

In my case, I would be a milionaire if I had a penny how many times I've heard every week how many pounds Baldie spend on defence. So, I think there are two scenarios:
1) Commentators & Pundits are super, super, super piss poor. They do not do their homework, they just commentate or talk, but without talking much sense.
2) In their mind, the top clubs did their rise honest, without stepping on bodies. For them "fair" is Barcelona/Real/Filth breaking the bank vs City other clubs having not even half the money to buy a semi decent player.

I think we cannot change this now, but if City continues this route, in 30 years we will have other generations of fans & supporters that are born with this amazing period of our club. Like it or not, since the money came, we had our share of support in Asia & Africa. I am not saying that is a good thing, but I've managed to see an Indian feed of one of our games last year with someone who knew the language. 100& different attitude towards us.

I think in the UK at least, unconscious bias comes into play. So for UK commentators reporting on City games they're influenced by what they've read or listened to in the (mostly UK) media recently. They're basically feeding on themselves (at our expense).

Agree with above . The billionaires who own the UK media both politically and in sport side with the power influence and money and brainwash the thick as fuck public with its bias . It is no wonder the UK is a total fucking shit hole with a fucked up society totally divided and driven by hate . The BBC has become as bad as the other shit stain tv media broadcasting ie BT and SKY , UK today a fucking shambles .

Well balanced piece as expected. No-one gave a shit or gave us a second thought when we were shite and not challenging the establishment. Love the reference to Stokes' heroics at Leeds and not the nightclub incident.
Expect this to ramp up if we progress on Saturday

You have the bent media, but also the brainwashed fans.

Yep no doubting that. The old adage of telling people over and over the same thing until it becomes true works for the majority of the armchair fans around this country and thats where the money is
The more I see of it, the happier it makes me to be honest as it ramps up when we continue to be a success and it breaks their hearts

Was talking a few months back before covid with a Villa fan and he was saying we give free tickets, half of the stadiums is full with free tickets (?!) asked him for a link, then dropped him a few official links we have the second revenue in the league. Of course, is not like a convinced him, he went on talking shite.
Now I resume to give this when I hear this shit (but have to admit I get annoyed from time to time):

These cockroaches take turns to crawl out of the Guardian dung heap and spray their effluent. I shudder to think I once subscribed to Blizzard.

I’ve just read a quote from Pep over the last day or two... “There’s not much history in this club, but we are starting to build it.”

Can anyone link me to the original quote? I’m sure he’s not come out with that bollocks, and it’s been dissected to get to that, but I can’t find the interview anywhere.

Cheers mate. I can’t find the “there’s not much history in this club” part and I’m hoping it wasn’t said because Pep should know better.

I know what he means, he means specifically in the CL there’s not much history. But he knows full well what the media are like, so to give them that sound bite is silly.

He said that or something very similar in his post match interview on Wednesday. TBH, I was only half listening, heard that and thought I'd misheard.
In fairness I think he was talking about history in the CL

[patrickblue]

I found the video, but I think you'll need a bt account to play it.

He actually says "It's the second time we've got to the semi finals, it's not much history in our club here, but we start to build it."

He was obviously talking about history in the CL league, but it'll no doubt get twisted into something else.

Brilliant, thanks PB. Yeah it’s already being twisted, that’s what I wanted to see the full context. He’s done nothing wrong there, just the media scum as usual
