I missed this drivel from The Guardian around the Nasri signing, but I'm not going to let it lie.
Whilst I expected jealousy after our owner invested his money and we signed some great players - I'm getting to a point that I'm finding the City bashing very boring and extremely lazy and shoddy journalism.
Perhaps the club should follow Alex Fergusons lead and ban certain papers from the press conferences.
Anyway, does anybody feel like dashing off a letter to The Guardian for it's partisan left wing editorial and the lack of content supporting the Tory government?
How about writing a tongue in cheek article criticising their content then - accusing the Guardian in a marginally humorous fashion of being clandestine, driven by Soviet Masters and a global communist agenda.
What? Still not interested - you think it perfectly reasonable that The Guardian serve the needs of a left of centre readership, of which I am one.
Hmmm, bizarre, so do I.
Thus when City creat behind the scenes videos, for the signing of Samir Nasri or Kolo's return, etc.
Why does Scott Murray think it amusing or appropriate to attribute motives which aren't there, contrive a story that doesn't exist, refer to high quality videos (given away free to fans) who watch it on the MCFC site in their 100s of thousands as well as YouTube as a shoddy, mafia style attempt to act big.
Here's just a taste of the axe grinding:
"An epic sequence was soon in the can, then up on YouTube, where it became an internet sensation viewed by tens of people. In one lengthy, tightly choreographed take, Nasri enters the building for the first time, climbs a flight of stairs..."The video has had over 542,000 views hmm - yep that's 10s of people in Scott's dire tribe - mathematician he ain't.Or put another way, viewed by 542,000 people more than double the Guardian's 260,000 entire readership.
The videos are great, loved by City fans, watched in numbers that The Guardian can only dream about
- Most clubs charge for their video - City give it away,
- most club's video is cheesy - City's is insightful (a real fly on the wall),
- most clubs production is average - City's are produced to a high standard by Endemol,
- most clubs don't ask what their fans want to see - City do through Social Media and more.
