Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong Somebody came on and said this once before. I asked him, and I'm asking you now, to go on Talksport's website, where you can listen to clips going back months, search for spencer, and find me the evidence of him downplaying City at every opportunity. I will then give...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong No, it's not an opinion - it is fact. I work at the MEN, and know how the sports desk functions, and it doesn't operate on any kind of bias. You tell me one instance where I have made something up to back up what I have been saying. The people having a go on here...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong I wasn't talking about you - I have said, I honestly don't know why your posts were not allowed, and without seeing them, I can't give you an answer. I was referring to the poster who said we had written an article saying half of the team was up for sale, and the...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong So, because you think it was biased in 1967, nothing can have changed? Or could it just be that paranoia was alive and well in 1967, as well? Why do you listen to the people on Bluemoon who say it is biased, and dismiss those who say it isn't? Could it be that it is...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong I'm at a bit of a loss here. How do you "know" the paper is biased, when you don't read it? Osmosis, telepathy or are you, in fact, God? Come on de niro, you're not making any sense. You keep blathering out bland statements but have offered NO evidence. And you have...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong Ask Chris about the lengths we go to on he desk to try to ensure parity of coverage between the papers. He was deputy sports editor, and knows that we used to ensure balance as much as possible. The sports editor even had a little black book in his desk in which he...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong No, you're not all paranoid. There are plenty of people on the forum who don't think the MEN is biased, and many, many more who don't go on forums at all who also don't think so. I think forums engender this kind of view, as ridiculous lies get posted, and pass into...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong Hardly a sensational headline, but a very simple reason behind it. If you get "Manchester United" and "Manchester City" in a headline, it attracts traffic from both sets of fans. I accept that it is stretching it a little to say United got him ahead of City, but it...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong That doesn't even qualify as a guess or an assumption. I wouldn't want you representing me in court! "To sum up my defence of my client, I just want to say it is as it is, your honour" I'm still waiting for proof of this bias, or for a good reason as to why we...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong In that case, I can't tell you why your post was pulled - but I CAN tell you it was nothing to do with any pro-United or anti-City agenda. Again, we would be stupid to drive people away from the website, a a lot of what we do is aimed at bringing in traffic, and...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong I can totally and utterly refute that!! I started in the summer of 2009, so if you wanted to go on our archive and dig out one if the things to which you refer, I'd be happy to explain it. Again, I'd have to be an idiot to start inserting sly digs. People who know...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong You can guess as much as you want, but what you have said is utter bollocks. No-one has told me to get on here - in fact we get advised not to go on forums, or get into Twitter rows, but I prefer to engage. So you think Sky have an anti-City agenda as well? It seems...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong United fans say the exact opposite. As someone who has, in the past, moderated posts on the MEN website, the only reason they used to get pulled is if they use bad language, or were libellous. In my experience, just as many Utd posters were barred as City posters...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong Any evidence for this, at all, or just another bland statement with no back-up? As I said, we seriously pissed off Fergie (me in particular) over our coverage of the Glazer takeover, and his subservient part in it. How did we "shit it" and be "all over the twat" in...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong To address your points: 1. No-one has assumed anything. We do market research, like any company, and we know that our two biggest selling points are United and City. I haven't got the figures, but the sports desk is under no illusion that Utd and City take precedence...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong I can never quite get a handle on people who say "I never read it, but it's shit". Well, I've never met you de Niro, but my guess is you're a 19-year-old Swedish masseuse. I was three years old, 45 years ago, so can't talk from personal experience, but there are Utd...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong Barm, every time. A muffin is a mule or a sexual offence. Which brings us back to your favourite Sun journalist

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong James is a Red, of the worst kind - a Congleton Red!! He rarely gets involved in City stories - the number two when I'm off is Rob Dawson - but will do so depending on staffing. He is professional enough not to let his club allegiances affect him on the odd occasion...

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong That's right, I'm awake, bored of the Olympics, and itching for a barney, so come on!! :-)

Re: MUEN -whats gone wrong I try to avoid coming on here too often, but when I see falsehoods being peddled, I think they need rectifying, so here are a few points: 1. To my knowledge, the MEN has never had a problem with either Mark Hughes or Roberto Mancini, in my time as City reporter, so...
