I await with bated breath.

Jesus H Christ. I found the story for you, and gave you the link - it was in February. Which bank holiday will that have been? And just to save you having to click on the MEN, I'll paste it here for you: A former United star is planning a city centre bash – to celebrate the anniversary of...

SSSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!! We don't want an outbreak of balance and rationality! But you did neglect to mention the article we ran last week which had a photo of 22 United players returning to the airport from Olympiacos, entitled "22 pictures of United players looking glum on return to Manchester"...

That private jet was correct, the only mistake was that I was led to believe it had taken off, when in fact it was still on the tarmac in Porto - I corrected that as soon as I was told that a plane did not need to be in the air to be given a landing slot. City had the jet on stand-by in case...

When you say you are not 100% sure, do you think it might be nearer 0%? Here is the article to which you refer, written in Feb 2011 - not many bank holidays in February. <a class="postlink"...

Again, I am baffled by this. Here is our article from April 23,weeks before the 2011 cup final, in which it states the City parade would be held after the end of the Premier League season ie May 22 - when it actually did take place. <a class="postlink"...

Care to elaborate? I have been at the MEN for 16 years and we have never had a "work experience lad holding the fort at Easter". The whole sports desk is used to having to work at Easter, as it is a very busy time for sport. This kind of drivel is what I meant when I talked about challenging...

If Martin Samuels was to write something critical about City, it would likely to be because we had done something to be criticised for, Stuart. Based on facts, not opinion. It's called balance and objectivity, something Mr Samuels has in spades. So, are you implying I lack balance and...

I agree that Martin is an excellent writer. Wait until he writes his next piece about City that is even marginally critical, and the loons on here will be slagging him again! I think it might come as news to him that he has "researchers". By the way any instances of us "stating opinion dressed...

When did I do that?

We really are not that desperate! Here's a link- not an MEN one, before you bother teacher - that shows we are 34 per cent up in online readership. I really would not waste my time just to get a few dozen clicks on Blue moon. <a class="postlink"...

School snitch alert!

What is it you "completely disagree" with? That people have posted lies and inaccuracies about me and the MEN on here? Unlike you, I can provide instances to back up my argument.

Some points: 1. The original picture of Aguero with £208,000 a week" on it was not his actual pay, but what City fans said he is worth, in a poll we ran. The equivalent on United, and Rooney, with his "value" on it is here: <a class="postlink"...

It was 13 years ago that Fergie christened us the Manchester Evening Blues, and I can remember as a teenager in the 70s United fans complaining that the MEN was City biased. And don't forget, I was blackballed at United, and we got untold grief from them about my coverage of the Glazer takeover...

It seemed the most appropriate phrase to describe it when someone seizes on a simple, harmless error, which as quickly rectified, and uses it as "evidence" of a terrible MEN conspiracy against City. How am I paranoid, exactly? -- Wed Mar 05, 2014 12:44 pm -- You mean this counter balance? <a...

It's a fair point, but these days it is about getting stuff up - there is an unholy scramble, and all media outlets are the same, so mistakes will happen. As for the bad meal analogy, I agree that the seats story was a bad meal, and fully understand the angry reaction. But the other moans in...

I don't think the comparison is a correct one - how could you be both pro-Labour and pro-Tory? You could try to be neutral, as does the Independent, but not pro both. We see the MEN's place as neutral - we lean towards both City and United in many ways, but are not afraid to criticise them when...

We've been over this argument many times before, but your point is deeply flawed. We are selling, and if you are selling something, it makes no commercial sense to try to sell only to one part of your market. We are a Manchester paper, and need to tap into the attraction of BOTH United and City...
