Manchester City fans have joined Trevor Sinclair in stating that there is a media agenda against the club after the John Stones incident with Pep Guardiola.

The Spaniard was seen screaming at Stones to get ready as reports across the UK seem to suggest that there is friction between the two.

Guardiola was visibly angry with the centre-back, but Stones told BT Sport after the game (as quoted by The Mirror): "I had them [shin pads] on but I just needed to fix them up properly. Time is of the essence and that’s what he wanted."

Fans have been quick to jump in on the story and state that there is a slight bend in the approach to their coverage. Certain fans believe that the media "does not like Pep and City", whilst another supporter claimed it is a "worldwide agenda".

Sinclair told talkSPORT: "Anything that Pep does or anything that Manchester City players do, the media are all over them," he said.

"I don't think it's a story. That's why I'm saying there's some kind of agenda."

In truth, it was a nothing story, as Guardiola has shown many times down the years to be of the aggressive sorts.

Shouting at his players to get ready as an injured man leaves the pitch is an everyday occurrence for any manager. The boss will ultimately want his players stripped and ready to go as soon as possible.

Perhaps if this wasn't City, it would not have been covered the way it has.

At least, that's what some City fans believe...
