I have entirely ignored this venture but curious as to their general approach we CIty.

Is it objective fair reporting, or is it just the same as the rest of the traditional titles. What position do they take on Bernardo for example, or City and the UEFA ban?

Another good article this morning about the decline of Joe Hart and if he can turn it around

And, for anyone who missed it, there's a decent interview with Joe on Nedum Onuoha's podcast:

The episode with Micah was brilliant.

It's mostly sam lee who I find to be pretty objective and fair even though he supports rags, which gives him bonus points as hes acting as a professional. I havent read anything so far i dont actually agree with or at the least i can see the point of view without it being sensationalist. Would i say it's worth the full yearly price? No not right now, needs more content.

Lee’s a bit like Brennan. Is a Rag supporter but due to him reporting on us for years and having to stick up for us, he has developed a soft spot.

I suppose with it being subscription funded, there's no need to chase clicks with sensationalism. Also, the articles will tend to be not too critical, otherwise, people will say "fuck this shit, I'm canceling".

Never stopped the mainstream press regurgitating stuff on us day after day, week after week.
