Nasty little piece of work. Ogden & the article both. Pathetic really from someone who is "Chief Football Correspondent" - it's dripping with spite (had already read it before I came here).

Ogden at his revisionist worst again.
The fact that he's backing Arsenal as the logical destination ignores one vital fact-they have no vacancy for a manager and are not likely to for another 3 or 4 years.

Better buckle in. The pause between Pep announcing leaving Bayern and hopefully saying he's coming to us is allowing the old lickspittle Ferguson press time to regroup. They know this will shift the landscape forever.
If the so called deal PG has agreed with us is done then why has he not signed a pre contract agreement similar to what players do ? Or do any ITK have info on this ? This would then stop all the press crap, players would be playing for there futures and should be trying to impress PG. All the parties should make a statement now because as it stands everybody is being affected in a negative way

if the Ogden story isn't proof of an agenda then I don't know what is. I'm yet to read an article telling us why pep should come to manage City - media bias in full force.
The other thing that is coming apparent whenever we play is that we are discussed as if we are some big European team in decline. All the opposition need to do is follow the tactics of the pundits, expose our weaknesses, and they we will beat us.
The Arsenal match preamble was all about what the comfy home English team need to do to beat the foreigners and bring the points back to Blighty. Basically, they all hate us. #agenda

Hi Mark. I know you're reading this. Just wanted to say that we feel your pain. We remember being irrelevant after thoughts for the big boys. Seems now it's United's turn. So yes we feel your pain. Don't forget to look at Pep when he's talking to you. ;)
I don't think anyone doubts that Mark Ogden has a personal agenda against us. As with Jamie Jackson, it's pretty indisputable.
But for the sake of balance, here's a positive article about Guardiola joining City from David McDonnell in The Mirror:

They're not all out to get us.

Cheers ric. A rare, controversial article going against the grain. in spite of this I'm not looking forward to reading about how right pep is for arse, Chelsea, rags and how wrong he is for us for the next six months...
In my opinion the rumours need to be put to bed - it's not healthy for any of the clubs he's been linked with. Can you imagine the disappointment within the club and also the fans if we don't get him

If pep was announced today wouldn't stop the gutter press writing articles it will be "why pep was wrong to go to city" or "Pep chose the Wrong Club" or "Pep dropped a Clanger"
All above will be written if we lose a couple of games under him! Media are full of Bitter fuckers.

Just reading an article on yahoo about sides being top at Christmas and imploding in the New Year. Last example was the rags in 2003/04. Notice the teams who beat them. Another dig. Can't help themselves can they. Drip..........drip...........drip..............drip................
7) Manchester United, 2003/04
While Arsenal were still unbeaten in 2003/04, it was Manchester United who led the way on Christmas Day after winning 13 of their first 17 matches.
After Christmas, however, Arsenal went into overdrive, eventually winning the title by finishing 12 points ahead of Chelsea, with United a further three points back in third after particularly bad defeats to Wolves, Middlesbrough, Manchester City (pre-money), Portsmouth and Blackburn. Oh, Arsenal didn’t lose in the second half of the season either.

Not sure "bias" comes into it as I've never read this magazine before but
Maybe it's that I've been up since 3 o'clock, maybe it's the fact that my coach smells like urine, maybe it's because I've still got Christmas presents to buy, maybe my missus' being from Hong Kong has affected my views on mainland China or maybe it's just that I'm a delicate flower but this magazine cover rubbed me up the wrong way.
I don't like the implication of the heading. Mainly because it seems to have been made by that older guy who has the mental age of a fucking carrot and still goes on about communism and Muslims based on what a couple of his more sexually successful mates said 20 years ago.
Anyway, I went for FourFourTwo as the magazine has Tevez, Riquelme and Maradonna on the cover. I'd much rather read an in depth article on Boca Juniors and South American football than any British publication about us.

WSC is an independent football magazine which doesn't do glossy puff pieces for anybody (442 is a better bet for that!). The cover always has speech balloons and is always fairly cutting. It's standard line is "football for the people" and isn't a fan of the monetarisation of the PL.
Really, if you're going to get upset by a WSC cover, then there's no hope for you!

Well I did say I hadn't read it before and that it might not be anything to do with bias but I stand by what I said.
The reason why I avoided it is because I'm sick of hearing people bitch about money when they should either deal with it or go follow a Sunday league team.
Any mention of money and I'm giving it a swerve, especially when they're asking for a fiver for something that looks like it was designed by a twelve year old. At least 442 has interviews with players I grew up loving and information on football outside the "big" European leagues.
Edit: also "for the people" is something I'd usually give a miss. Brings to mind Tommy Robinson, Volkswagons and channel 4.

Local BBC skipped off to Alder Hey last night and we saw Leighton Baines going round a toy store with some young lad who had decided he wanted to repay the hospitalfor the time he had spent there (Well done, son). Roger 'SixFingers' Johnson (he is from Sjoke, I think) then said that in the interests of 'balance' we have got some Reds, so up pops Lalana, minus tub of Nivea, and Lucas. Fine, in the interests of balance! Great idea! We were also treated to a few moments of Stevie Starfish - I think he's one of the hospitals patrons - and then the next thing I see is some lad spread on a bed, get well soon, kid, clad in Rag shirt. I turned to Mrs Ewing and said "Wait for the City kid next"! I might have missed it as I turned to speak to her. Did the City kid get on?

You're clearly unaware that City have no fans. I thought everybody knew that.
