Pep Guardiola kickstarted a debate about media bias when it comes to the title race.
The trouble is that every single manager in the Premier League thinks people are biased against them. Referees, pundits, fans, neutrals, journalists. Well, if we’re all biased against everyone, doesn’t that mean there is no favouritism? Think about it for a moment.
Guardiola’s point was that the whole of the country wants Liverpool to win. After the week Manchester City had in the Champions League, you can bet Pep felt like sticking two fingers up after thrashing Newcastle 5-0 to regain the initiative in the title race.
