Im sure it was pure co-incidence that Platini and Blater were subject to FBI investigations just post to City feeling the UEFA pinch Its not like anyone connected to City has POTUSA phone number on speed dial, is it?

They stuck stuff through an American bank, with an American (Chuck Blazer) singing like a canary immediately.

I doubt it was anything to do with City.
 


somethings happened

'always enjoy reasoned discussion'

Translation; I enjoy using inflammatory language, reporting without context and without taking a measured and equal approach. I'm not really a journalist, because journalism requires impartiality and critical thinking skills. But if Liverpool or UEFA want to keep leaking me information I will keep writing articles about it like it's a stone cold fact without thinking about how I'm nothing more than an unofficial mouth piece for those organisations.

'fans of that football club disagree with because they are fans of that club creates a toxicity against media'

Translation: I like to lie with impunity under the guise of journalism so when I keep writing lies in the future, please don't get toxic about it.
 
Cheers !

That has to be one of the most disingenuous comments I've ever read from Harris - and there are some serious contenders in his output, so I don't say that lightly!

He makes out as if he is 'just reporting on an issue', suggesting an impartial presentation of the facts - which anyone with even a passing knowledge of his form would tell you is complete fantasy.

It takes two to tango, and perhaps if he didn't constantly take the most antagonistic and dismissive angle in his reporting of City's perspective on this story, he might get a more measured response in return. If you instantly take an openly sneering and disrespectful tone to any perspective the club or it's fanbase puts out, without ever attempting to consider whether any of it has merit (and I'm not for a moment suggesting it all does, by the way), you will get the same tone coming right back at you. I don't think most City fans expect any of our esteemed reporters in the media to simply gobble up the club position and regurgitate it unquestioningly as the truth. If you read this thread alone, you'll see plenty of criticism from our own fans on how the club is managing certain aspects of this process. All we expect is a bit of balance in the reporting our media presents to us - which I'm sure even they, if they're really honest with themselves, would concede there is precious little of at the moment.

Harris is hardly the innocent bystander simply reporting the facts in relation to City that he's so disingenuously attempting to paint himself as. He references 'multiple angles', yet as far as I can see there is only one angle he seems remotely interested in taking throughout this story. If you throw enough mud at a club and a fanbase, don't be surprised and play the sanctimonious card when they start to throw it back at you.
Typical attitude of a Pool supporter (not sure of his affiliation), gives it out but cannot take it.

Currently in his victim mode.

Yup, 'you guys disagree because you support City' - so arrogant he can't even accept that he might be wrong and the corrupt ****s at UEFA might have stitched us up. Arrogance should not be part of journalism.
