It has happened before.

Remember Gary Birtles? He looked a world class player with Forest under Clough. He signed for United and was useless. He went back to Forest for peanuts and was back to form.

So was Alan Brazil if I remember right.

He's just published another puff piece 10 mins ago.

That's now 32 out of his last 33 articles have been just about the rags and he's supposed to be the BBC 's chief football correspondent.

I'm absolutely convinced he's getting backhanders of Neil Ashton to write this many articles in such a small space of time.

No other premier league club gets this amount of coverage from the BBC

Someone will be along shortly to defend the impartiality of the BBC.

Inside Manchester United's 2025 pre-season - green shoots or another false dawn?

Manchester United have looked better in pre-season - are they green shoots of recovery, or is it another false dawn?

Stone is getting absolutely slated in the comments, along with the BBC. Can't all be City fans.

He is.

And you're right, it's clearly a broad selection of fans, it's comforting to know we're not alone.

Stone is such an odious Uriah Heep like toady.
 
Gets slated after EVERY article but nothing changes because the prick gets engagement !

He's not the only one.

Who's finding the cleverly titled Rio Media?

Camelgob bigging them up on talkshite earlier as he's been embedded with them. Promoting his channel has being "unrestricted and bolshy"

He may well be their new propaganda voice.

City to win another league title

Is this a prediction from Jonathon Wilson in The Guardian or his fear?

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/aug/02/17-years-tough-job-taking-pep-guardiola

Nothing last forever is obviously true.

Has Wilson ever written anything positive about City? Perhaps his declining time at The Guardian, without accountability to his readers and no opportunity to comment unlike other papers, is up and now it is right for him to move on. Few would miss him.

At the Club World Cup and now, at the start of this season, Guardiola appears refreshed and energised for the time ahead and new challenges. Yet, again, there is little balance in Wilson`s piece.

This season is probably the most unpredictable in many ways for a long time though we can probably still all agree that City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool will feature in the top 4.

I never thought I would read an article comparing Guardiola to Stuart Lee.
