Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has taken a pop at the media over their coverage of his team and tactics.
Mancini is unhappy with the boring label given his City.
He said: "Maybe it's just that City don't have big support from the newspapers. Not you [the Manchester-based reporters] but maybe others. I think everyone is afraid of us because City in the next two years will be one of the top teams in Europe and it will be a problem for the other teams."
The Italian also cited Chelsea's spending in the transfer window.
"Whenever we spend everyone is saying, 'Oh, City are spending all this money again.' But Chelsea spent 90m in half a day [on David Luiz and Fernando Torres] and people's attitude towards it is different."
