That's the irony of it all. One would have to "imagine" it all.
The deluded feckwits
The ridiculous thing is no matter what we achieve the media will always treat us like the poor relation who got lucky. I just hope that this season we can pull something unique off, dare I say it, a quadruple. An achievement of this magnitude would be the ultimate kick in the plums for the media and their darling football aristocracy.
I actually think their "success" (I use the term in the loosest sense of the word as I think they have massively unperformed with more than £3bn in investment) is actually over-played in the media. The only reason it is over-played is because they play in the same city as United, simple.
The latest news down at BlueMoon is that the fixture list has been fixed to allow Utd an easy start in order for us to build confidence and momentum.
Now, granted, we could have got a trickier CL Group and we haven't really played a top 4 contender yet - but hang on, who have they played?!
We have both played Everton at home. We have played West Ham (H) Stoke (A) Leicester (H) Swansea (A) and Southampton (A). BTW, didn't Leicester hammer City last year?
City have played Liverpool and were, in the eyes of many, being outplayed but 1-0 ahead before Mane was sent off. Besides that they have played the indominatable might of Brighton, Watford, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace! Hardly sends a shiver down the spine does it! How they can complain about easy fixtures is beyond me - just sums up the mentality of the place tbh
The only way this could have been more fixed is if the rags were drawn at home.
"You can stick your Carobent cup up your arse,"
"You bent b******!"
I for one won't be going.
If I was a Bristol City supporter I'd be fuming, they could have had Leicester, Bournemouth, or West Ham at home and a chance of making the semi finals, they still could of course, but its much less likely now, and I'd be equally fuming if I was a supporter of those other 3 as well.
I'm not arsed who we got, or where, or even if we continue in the competition, but that farce is one too far.
City away to Prem opposition and Utd draw the lowest ranked team again, not at all fishy.
We should boycott the competition and tell them to f off.
Not sure what everyone is on about; quite clearly Bristol City got the easiest draw.
Yep - I saw the pictures-gill, pisscan, sir ticket-tout,crerand,fatty Holmes, usain bolt,chuckle bros.- they were all there to make sure there was no tomfoolery or flimflammery!
So they are denying they ARE the poor relation who got lucky?The ridiculous thing is no matter what we achieve the media will always treat us like the poor relation who got lucky.

Is there anything they haven't suggested boycotting yet?
A poor relation that got lucky is exactly what they are, I don't get how anyone could have an issue such a view?
They're boycotting the thought.So they are denying they ARE the poor relation who got lucky?
This is our life now and a by product of being so much better than everyone else. Negative, 8 behind the ball at all times, timewasting shite. I expect nothing less next week either.
There we go. Fully deserved. We are shite and have been for 3 or 4 games but Sterling has masked it.
It's been getting worse with each passing week. We could actually lose here unless someone gets a bit of fire in their belly.
Maybe this will stop all our fans bollocks about smashing everyone 5 0 and United have no chance of catching us..weve been shit for weeks and none of this is surprising
Big elephant in the room guys... Aguero’s form.
This is getting ridiculous, worst team in the league coming to our ground and outplaying us
I'd bet all match day threads are similar to ours. Just football fans in general aint it.Their match threads are just like ours

Completely agree with this. The media hardly ever pull them up on their outrageous good fortune. They fawn over Guardiola without ever mentioning he's spent 400m in 18 months and they've spending record-breaking sums for nearly a decade.Actually, the media give them an incredibly easy ride. Mad as it may be, I don't count City's trophies as genuine wins - what their owners have done has made a mockery of competition amongst clubs.

Its human nature.I'd bet all match day threads are similar to ours. Just football fans in general aint it.
If we get a draw out of this today, it will be amazing. We seem like we have just met before kick off. WHU have done what they came to do. We don’t seem to have the answer to break them down.
It’s a real test for us now. IMO we will be lucky to get a draw. We aren’t able to get through their 9 man defence.
Just a continuation of a recent downward trajectory in form. Pep really needs to get this shit sorted out its last season post Celtic all over.
Pretty wank so far.
Performance reminscent of the latter Pellegrini years - utterly half-assed in everything, both going forward and defensively.
They’ve been better than us and deserve to be in front. Which is pretty sobering.
Need a quick response start of the second half.
What is it with these shit teams playing out of their skin against us and then allowing other teams to dick them?
Nah, I'd be surprised if anyone seriously thought West Ham could get something from this game. Was just showing that we're not the only ones for dramatics in the match threads.Was it not a bit early to dig this thread up again?
They have been in poor form for weeks the guy is right. Momentum could turn against them with one loss

Same here, ever since the Gerrard slip, the Scousers don’t seem to matter any more.I can’t tell whom I dislike more, these or Liverpool. It was always clearly Liverpool but the lines are blurring.
Where does Liverpool's money come from? Their own success as a club over the years.
Where does Liverpool's status come from? From decades of mixing it up at the top (ish).
Where does citeh's money come from? From a disgusting, archaic, human rights flaunting arabic oil royalty.
Where does citeh's 'status' come from? From arabic oil money - not money that was even earned the dirty way (like, say, Chelsea).
citeh are scum in my opinion, they're actually a club that is morally questionable in what it's doing to the game and where that money is coming from.
That said, I'd rather they won the PL than Liverpool... why? Because this citeh aren't really Man City anymore - they've been hollowed out and replaced with an arabic oil core that has nothing to do with the club's success or history, and deep down their sad fans know this.
Both sets of fans are highly cretinous, but the scouse can't handle success without turning into utter muppets of unbearable levels. Whereas citeh are expected to win the PL.
