These media slugs (not happy their team have been found out in the run in) are still trying their best to derail City.

Headline: 'Pellegrini Fully Expects To Win Title' (accent on the word 'Fully').

The actual words of Pellegrini: "Of course I expect to win the title because now we are top of the table," Pellegrini said. "It is the last game. Win the next game and we can win the title. Everyone said we were favourites but we were nine points behind Liverpool and eight points behind Chelsea. We had three games in hand but we must win all those games. Now we are top and I hope we are not going to lose next Sunday. But we must win the way we did today. Now we can talk about the title because if we win the next game we are going to win it. We could not do the same before this game because we had to beat Aston Villa. I think it will be very important, not only the title but in the way we are going to win the title if finally we win it."

Apparently that makes him 'bullish' to that hack. It sounds more like someone not ignoring the overwhelming evidence that they can now win it but is also a bit cautious. The media have been a disgrace in this title chase.

Yeah, he's said nothing wrong there, bit disrespectful to West Ham, but overall if he didn't expect to win the league now, with 1 game to go, at home, against West Ham.. He should be sacked.

Yet only yesterday the Guardian had this to say,

CITY SLIPPERS?

What a swizz. After a season of thrilling unpredictability involving more twists and turns than Bacary Sagna's last trip to the barber, the Premier League title race is about to be won by the team with the biggest budget, as usual. This is what Star Wars would have been like if the Dark Side prevailed after a slip by Luke Skywalker led him to laser beam off his own head … leaving R2D2 to project a hologram of Brendan Rodgers simpering: "Help us, Aston Villa, you're our only hope."

Counting on Villa to win away at Manchester City tonight and thereby tilt the title back in the underdogs' favour is the epitome of clutching at straws, and not just any straws but those crummy ones you get in a well-known fast-food outlet that split when you try inserting them into the plastic drink receptacle, leading to swearing and swearing and more effing swearing. Or perhaps not. For Paul Lambert's team have already felled Chelsea and Arsenal this season and drawn at Liverpool and, after beating Hull City at the weekend to earn the right to mooch around the lower half of the table again next term, they're confident they will tonight play with the joyous abandon that befits a club whose greatest ever striker was Pongo "The Gay Cavalier" Waring. "We'll go there in a lot better state than we were in before the win over Hull, that's for sure," rabble-roused Lambert.

"You're glad the results have gone your way and it's over and finished with so you can go there with the shackles off and the pressure not on," continued Lambert, presumably into a mirror, like some sort of Scottish Robert De Niro. "You're going to have to run a lot and work really hard without the ball, but you're not going just to make up the numbers. You're going to try to win." Yeah, well, all the same, this would be a good time for Rodgers to finally come up with a Plan B. Such as a hologrammed plea: "Help us, West Ham, you're our only hope."

They've been a disgrace in every sense of the word and from all angles. So much overwhelming evidence to suggest they wanted Liverpool to win it.

Media ? being the keyword here. Can pundits and commentators be thrown into the media category ?

Yes, they absolutely can. Broadcast is a form of media too, and runs alongside electronic and print media
 
I am honestly suprised anyone even bothers to read newspapers anymore.
I don't think I have bought one in years and I hardly ever read them online. The agenda and manipulation of facts are dreadful in an era when social media gives us a true reflection of unfolding events both in politics and sport.
This whole backing the underdog Liverpool has been utterly embarrassing. The nations choice! They scream. Everyone wants it for Stevie!... erm no.
fans I know personally of Arsenal, Spurs, Man U, Man City, Southampton, Chelsea, Sheff Wed, Burnley, Bolton... etc etc and every mb of club country wide I have viewed have wanted the exact opposite.
Yet the media continue...
interestingly a girl in work and a woman getting a perm done on saturday want them to win for Gerrard. Why I asked, and they gave the usual textbook answers. Do you watch football or support someone... NO.

So Liverpool are the LFC fans and people who watch soap operas and kick off when football disrupts them's choice.

That is the truth the media should be reporting.
