Bitterest Red in the media

[TheGhost]

One to think about in the run up to the Derby.

The vermin call us the bitters. But they’ve ended up far more bitter than we ever were.

Who’s the bitterest red in the media?

Has Paddy Crerand kharked it as you never hear from the **** any more?

From the current crop of journalists I’d go for the Grauniad’s John Brewin.

 

[KentBlue]

All of them.

 

[mancityscot]

the fat might aswell be celtic lad

 

[Vienna_70]

Custis.

I know there are two of them, but I mean the one, who was forever kissing PEG's arse.

 

[Kippax77]

Cocknose aka Slimey

 

[Cellarite]

Scholes looking for negatives on us buying Donnarumma this week. Imagine United had signed him?

 

[Xhavenjoe]

That Eamonn Sweeney is the most bitter person ever.
Not sure who he follows but its certainly not us.
I find liverpool lot worse than the rags for being bitter.
That Aldridge is as bad as you can get.

All of em,but that Brummie rag who's on the overlap, absolute maggot he is,the little scruff wears the same clothes every show.

I wanted to include Crerand, but I don't think the man is in full possession of his mental faculties. Last I saw him being interviewed was about a year or so ago and it was painful. Booze has destroyed whatever cerebral functioning he had and it's nigh on impossible to understand a word he grunts.

It always was.

Is the correct answer.

Brent Di Cesare, I bet you never heard of him.. /s

This is about bitter rags, not bitter Forest fans, or as his dad said, he didn’t really like football when he was young.

Can you imagine that fella as a cop? Because I certainly can't. Manchild stuck in a body of a grown ass man.

I can imagine him as another word that starts with a 'C."

I don’t think he’s bitter.

He’s just taking money off gullible rags, playing a part as an outraged fan.

Good luck to him, I say.

Used to have a spot on a Friday evening on a radio show hosted by Ivan Yates. About 15 minutes discussing the weekends matches.
Yates is a City supporter and used to slag him off regularly.
Crerand got the huff on one of the shows and stormed off never to return.
He was replaced by Phil Thompson who used to get similar treatment from the host.

Well before reaching his current state, and having had the painful experience of living near to him, I can confirm that he was an arrogant, ignorant and totally unpleasant twat.

He had a serious sense of entitlement due to being an ex-rag player. Utter ****.

I’ve told this story before, and I read it in @Gary James' excellent biography of Joe Mercer.

In the time between Sir Joe and Big Mal being appointed and the start of the season, Crerand bet Malcom that City would never again have a crowd of over 30 000, I think it was.

Crerand lost the bet within two games.

That reporter... Ogden is it? I dont read them really but he sounds very bitter very hurt, to the point of twisting reality.
