oh yes. Council estate kid covering the Cheshire Show! There were two reporters, so I had to turn my hand to everything from day one - police calls, magistrates court, community health meetings, Alderley Edge bleedin Parish Council, and on Saturdays Wilmslow rugby. Good grounding, to be honest

That was a near-miss for you! To be honest, I fell into it. My eldest brother was a news journalist befpre he retired this year. I left uni with a degree in history and politics in 1984 and was on the dole for a year. I applied for tons of jobs, everything from dishwasher to croupier to...

I looked this up and the "disgruntled" fan said it was Stuart Mathieson, our Utd reporter who said it. I don't know if it's true - and let's face it, there have been plenty of exaggerations, baseless claims, half-truths and simple lies bysome posters on this thread -but Stuart said it, it would...

Re: Ex MCFC boss Mark Hughes calls for clarity over Tevez row The first part is utter crap. I have never done an interview with a United internet fanzine. It would still be out there on the internet if I had. Pray tell me which one it was, or even better, google it and show me up. If I had...

I'm sorry, but either your memory is playing tricks on you, or that is downright lie. Given that, the rest of your "FACTS" look a bit dodgy. All of Spencer's appearances on Talksport over the summer are still on the Talksport website - just put Peter Spencer in the search. Perhaps you want to...

Occasionally offensive comments do slip through, especially at times when there are a high volume of comments being posted - they are often spotted by someone else on the wesbite operation, or are removed when flagged up by a reader. There have been instances of offensive City posts getting...

Which two pro-Tevez articles were they? We have not run any "pro-Tevez" articles with regard to what he did in Munich. If you mean articles which gave Tevez's point of view (a wholly different thing, and essential in a democracy), then the reason - as I have stated - was legal. There is an...

Can I ask you from where you get your information? Not being smart or anything, I'm just interested where people who don't read papers get their info from

Erm, if my posts were blocked by the MUEN then this is a fact and not an opinion - or like Brennan are you also accusing me of lying? If you have an experience it becomes something that has happened hence it becomes a fact. Have you kept a copy of any of the posts which were blocked? If not...

So tell me the "FACTS" and back them up with evidence and I will attempt to answer. You appear to be calling me a liar, but I'll let that pass.

That I wrote? How did I write something for the Daily Mail?

No. The reason I came on here to state that the MEN is not anti-City is because it isn't. You can obnviously believe what you want, but you are plain wrong. I work there, every day, and see what people say, and what gos on, and know about editorial policy and so on. You selectively read what you...

Granted, there is some utter crap talked in that clip. But is that down to those journos having an anti-City agenda or, more likely because either a) They are expressing their honest opinion or b) They are trying to be provocative, something on which such shows, and Talksport, thrive. I've see...

I'll take "fool" because I'm neither of the other two

Simon Hattenstone is a humorous columnist, so that's hardly covering it as a news story, is it?

Here's one for a start, but I'm not going to go into great depth defending the nationals - they can do that themselves. I can only say that my experience is that none of the national lads has an anti-City agenda. End of <a class="postlink"...

How is that relevant - surely a City player appearing to suggest he doesn't like football and got stuck playing it, is relevant? We didn't carry anything about Mario's tangled love life, or any of the other sleazy stuff concerning City stars<br /><br />-- Sun Oct 09, 2011 4:49 pm --<br /><br />...

I've been in dozens of Fergie's press conferences, and seen Fergie challenged and asked controversial stuff many times - often with interesting results! Mancini is a different character, and not in as strong a position, so he deals with such things differently. National newspapers are banned on...

You clearly didn't click on the link just above As for the rest of it, the tablouds argue that EVERY sex scandal involving a celebrity has wider public interest. The MEN tends to steer clear - if it had been a City player we would also have steered clear.

The MEN tends to steer clear of such NotW type stories - can you name a sex scandal that we did give coverage to, unless it had a wider public interest? We actually covered the Giggs story when it turned into a debate about the role of Twitter, and tge use or abuse of parliamentary privilege...
