:crying: How do we the fans defend ourselves against all the rubbish spouted about us for decades by the media in London? How many of you went to the doctors the day after we won our semi final? those poor media darlings west ham deserved to be there more than us did'nt they? Your thoughts on the paper that after the semi final posted online that Arsenal are carling cup winners 2011 please. bluenose or not most blues fans had enough of the london press many years ago.. FACT |

press full stop. People are raving about colin and dont get me wrong tatts does a good job as did Andy who used to work for the mail but left I believe but the rest of the paper is also much more focused on other midlands clubs. The following: metro, motd, itv, brum mail, daily mail, sun, notw just to name some I come into contact with on a regular basis and none give us the praise we deserve Dont get me wrong, sometimes we deserve a bit of critisism, we aint a perfect club and none of our people are perfect, but a bit of balance would be appreciated - praise when due, critisism when due I could deal with but when its negative 24/7 it gets a bit predictable and boring. On the flip side - Chris Kamara and the other guy from sky sports (he was the second commentator during the west hame league game we just won) are very fair to us - exaclty what I was saying above, they give praise when due and critisise when necessary, I think the other commentators name was alan someoneorother? Goals on sunday (obviously featuring chris) is imo the only footie programme worth watching (that one with the blokes from the rags - sunday supplememnt? Is AWFUL!) |

possibly...i googled him and he is welsh - does he commentate on sky sports? anyways whoever he was he was good. In terms of moxley - i have not read enough of his stuff to have an opinion either way, I can take or leave him but as far as the media in general are concerned I dont listen to what they say about bcfc - I have people at the club I speak to and that does me |

God Alfred you're as mad as the magazine you front (just kidding!) Pooley I'm pretty sure that was Aston Villa's very own Alan McInally. |

This was on the Sky Sports site 24 hours ago. TBH I think he's just reporting the same news as everyone else. |

So you reported on something which, could possibly happen due to the obvious past between the two, yet with absolutely zero evidence...of course. Why don't you write a report on how Blues 'might' win the cup final 2-1, at least the bookies could give you and estimation on how likely that were to occur. In my opinion that small article on Mutch was no more than making an issue out of something which most probably isn't an issue at all, but that's what most journalism is these days isn't it. Must have been a slow news day. |

'furious' really Neil, or was that added to spruce up what is a bit of a none story? |

I have had a good read of this thread and firstly anyone who thinks there is an anti blues theme in the press local or national is paranoid full stop, there just isnt. Secondly N.M couldnt have explained his position more clearly and lucidly. Chers Neil. Thirdly If I was Seb I would be furious with the club, they have thrown big money @ Hleb and Zig but wont bring him up to something akin to Fergie/Bowyer wage level. To me that seems odd indeed.

Bluecity how do i know what as a fact? Seb`s agent per johnson put all the figures in the public domain, he said Sen want 60% of Zigs or %0% of Hlebs and parity with the other experienced midfielders. It seems extraordinarily reticent of the club not to agree to these type of figures when you consider what an important part of our squad he is. Certainly Bentley will be on mopre. KRO |

Sorry this was what I was on about. Where in the public domain does it say how much Ferguson and Bowyer is on? All I've heard is Zigic is top earner at about £50,000 a week, don't know what Hleb is on but I presume it is high, before that I'm lead to believe the top earner before that was McFadden on £25,000. I hear they are offering Larsson £24,000? All of this is what I have heard. Problem is all your info all seems to be loose but 'factual' and I see no fact. If you are correct then fair enough, I have seen no details from his agent as to what players earn what compared to what Larsson has been offered. |

As another poster observes, Neil Moxley does not write the headlines which top his reports. Thus, he did not himself write that Larsson was "furious". It was dreamt up by a London sub-editor who has one simple purpose: to get readers reading the content. Clearly, they did. In the body of the report, NM quotes Seb as being "disappointed". Now, in football parlance, that may well be code for "I'm b****dy furious." Just as, when Eck says he was "disappointed" by the team's first half efforts, he too was probably b****dy furious." Readers who get past the headlines, and I'm not justifying the more lurid ones, often find the content - the copy - is a more sober account of what's going on. And, in any event, Neil Moxley does not, as a reporter of Midlands football, owe Birmingham, Villa, Wolves, Albion or any other club an uncritical loyalty. Carson Yeung does not pay his salary. And just as well. |

I have it on good authority that supporting Blues can cause cancer. Maybe Mr Moxley could shed some light on this? Seriously though, fair play to him for coming on and fighting his corner, even if he does sound like he's protesting a little too much. |
