Martin Samuel appreciation

[mat]

A lone voice being drowned out by BS.

Don't you think journalists who frame City are intelligent but just lacking in integrity?

I think they can't see past their own biases. All football journalists are football fans, and given the average age of a football journalist, the vast majority of them are going to support one of the clubs that feel like our rise has stopped them achieving stuff. It's not a coincidence that the one who is fair happens to support a team that's in a similar position to what we were not too long ago. We're also living in an age of journalism where clicks and engagement for controversial articles result in success. It's also not a surprise that the journalist that's impartial is the one that's an established figure in the industry and doesn't need to prove anything.

Hoprfully Craig and Psychedelic C aren't on our legal team.

He is fair and balanced and thats all i ask for

I imagine that it takes not only integrity and a great sense of fair play, to stand-up against the crowd and your fellow journalists ... but also bravery.

Take a bow, Martin Samuel.

Need more journalists like Mr Samuels.

Simply the best journalist out there at the moment.

He's always been good at calling out what seems very obviously wrong and he's been spot on with FFP for years.

If I recall he was the first to call out the old coefficient system, where Arsenal kept being placed in the top pot and getting all the easy draws despite winning nothing and finishing 4th every year.
