were obsessed with the RAGS?????????????????????,

What club whilst winning a European Cup in Barcelona would spend 60minutes of the final singing about burning down a Third Division Club.

What club whilst winning several Premiership Titles; League Cups; FA CUPs; World Club Championships; Charity Shields; Manager of the Year; Players Player of the Year; PFA Player of the Year; Hong Kong Cups; etc etc......... invests in draping the largest banner ever seen at their own ground................... dedicated to a small time club that happens to be their neighbourhood (the neighbouring city to theirs).

33 YEARS AND WERE STILL HERE!!!!!

Paul Wilson, not a rag

Fair enough, before Manchester City's legion of paranoid fans write in to complain, there is, or ought to be, more to sports reporting than simply copying down what managers say and presenting their opinions as your story. Yet even while regretting the modern obsession with first the quote and then the soundbite, it is possible to acknowledge that some people are better at it than others and the football world will be a duller place when all-round entertainers such as Fergie are gone and every club has an interchangeable coach with a thin-lipped smile, a wealth of statistical information and a deferential attitude to the owners.

Quoting Paul "Twat" Wilson as an unbiased reporter? Not the sharpest tool, are you?

Sent this to The Guarderver today:

Not that it makes any difference to anyone except me:-

"I've today cancelled The Guardian and The Observer. I have taken these newspapers for over thirty years. And one of the reasons has been the excellent and fair-minded football coverage - I suppose in the time of such wonderful writers as Eric Todd there was an advantage to being a northern purchaser, but in the main a follower of any team could rely on even-handed reporting.

The pathetic and mean-minded agenda against my club pushed by appallingly biased individuals including but not limited to Paul Wilson and concluding today with The Observer's cenre page splash has finally broken my spirit.

The newspapers will be a loss to me. To The Independent then, I suppose, but with a heavy heart, where Ian Herbert and his colleagues at least try to present both sides of any argument.

It's a darned shame, but I value honesty and fairness above all else. The Guardian and The Observer helped teach me that."
 
fair play alari. the guardian have abandoned any pretence of impartial reporting where our club is involved. if they have a problem with our club, I would respect them if they laid out the issues that concern them, but all they do is sneer and snipe. it's ugly, and I doubt their wider readership thinks very much of it either. as the entire sports desk seems to be pursuing the same line, I think it may be a problem of leadership.
