Funny, because when I had my Mensa exam 5 years ago my IQ was 131 and I believe that certain sections of the media have an agenda against us, I better call them and make sure they gave me the correct test results.
I guess you must be superior though, us plebeians must be delusional to think that pundits who support other clubs might have an agenda, it’s such a ludicrous proposition that people can be affected by bias isn’t it? I better get my tin foil hat back on and know my place in the intellectual hierarchy.
OR, you could just be wrapped up in your own confirmation bias so much that you refuse to acknowledge the possibility that we are the whipping boys of the media because we aren’t considered a “big club” yet by the wider press as they skew towards the “bigger” clubs and employ many people who have either played for, or support our direct rivals?
I mean, is that even a possibility in your mind? Or am I just imagining the fact that after every game we “bottle it” the media are constantly talking about our players being sold but a club like Liverpool never get this kind of coverage?
I must just be imagining things.
All teams have their good players targeted in the press. It wasn't long ago that Coutinho was being branded about for Barca. I've read a few articles relating to Salah and Real.
Sanchez to city (United).
Even players in the championship get touted every 5 minutes.
I don't see any organised agenda. Of course there's the odd bias but that happens in our favour too.
