Martin Samuel, MailSport: "Whatever City have done wrong, the entire playing field was shaped by the elite of European football for their own gain. The game, as it has now been framed by UEFA and a privileged elite, is bent." [via @MailSport]

If only i could still have babies

If the 1894 crew are reading this,can you get the theirs only one Martin Samuel going on Wednesday night,think this bloke deserves it,cheers.

 

[paulchapo]

The only one as far as I am aware, who has the bollocks to speak the truth. The rest know it but want their favourites back at the top and little old City back being the butt of their jokes.

Martim Samuel learnt a long time ago that 20 journalist spouting niceties about UTD were going to get 5% of the biggest team market, dodgy surveys say 10% of the population, but 1 journalist talking tolerance was going to alienate 10% of the population and possibly get 100% of the 90%, unlikely but undoubtedly a bigger more intelligent readership following

I’m sure he’ll be at the game tonight, what with his beloved Hammers the opposition.

I've seen a spuds fan on twitter claiming that Samuel's son works for City and the journalist in question was the recipient of an all expenses trip to a Grand Prix. Does anybody know if his son is employed by City?

I never realised that Martin is an English Jew.

Sounds like libel if he does work for City, and didn’t make such a trip

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Says it all about the state of the rest of the media that Samuel is seen by city fans as a lone voice / hero and other fans see him as a city lackey just because he doesn't join in the bottom-feeding frenzy.

...but unlike another English jew, one who purports to be a Blue as well, he manages to put any religious bigotry to one side.

He's not Jewish. Also bringing religion into the discussion is not needed and doesn't reflect well on you.

 

[lazerblue]

He had a lovely little dig today, said when Sheffield United were fith surely nobody believed David Gill was putting all this work in to give them a shot at champions league football

A very good point sir.

Sorry to give this it's own thread, but i truly think it deserves one. Absolute brilliant piece of journalism by Martin here, and not just because it's on City's side but because he is telling the whole facts and not just the ones to suit his own personal agenda:
