The Green was the Evening News's heavily pro-Rag sports paper. I think you mean the Evening Chronicle's Pink which was much more balanced. The Pink outsold the Green for that very reason and it's no coincidence that after the merger of the broadsheet MEN and the tabloid sized Chron the broadsheet Green was dumped and the tabloid Pink was retained.
The memories and the excitement of the pink and green toilet squares on the Monday morning !!

Maybe I'm weird but I had been getting the MEN mon-sat for as far back as I can remember (no longer bother because of the net) and have never felt there was some kind of Utd bias. I don't know where the "MUEN" stuff comes from.

I have said it to many people and I think Brennan mentioned it recently also. This talk about it being the MUEN is complete and utter tosh. With little increase in circulation, the newspaper cannot afford to alienate one part of Manchester - to be anyway successful it must appeal to all sections of the community.
Yes of course some articles might appear anti City or pro rag, but on other occasions the reverse applies and over all it balances itself out, the editor would not dare to make it any other way.

I think he and the paper (when i look) seem fair.
I'll even set it to my homepage for a month just to see if you agedistarists are smoking bad weed or the paper are barstuards.
At minimum i think SB seems decent as mentioned above he comes here and doesn't shy away from his critics.
Bluemoon does like to have a crack at reporters acting with seeming impunity regarding reports seen as against our club by some.
So it should be noted to SB's credit that he takes time to come here the odd day.

it is 100% a rag paper.
I moved to manchester 22 years ago
I arrived as a S wales / N yorks brought up bushy tailed young teacher who mainly followed rugby and the cylcling
Manch is a footy town and I was soon aware of the power balance..
As a teacher I was really impresssed at the quiet courage of kids loyal to City , when it would have been so much easier to glory hunt
Becoming a dad in the late 90's meant I had two 'tabula rasa' youngsters... how would they negotiate this ..... both latched onto City (mainly my son's initiative, with his sister following suit)
Throughout the 90's the MEN reported delighted at Utd's successes and crowed over the chaos (and it was chaotic) of City
My kids stood firm at Ossy Rd primary in Chorlton, where they had classmates abandoning City for the dark side and having the piss taken by rag kids all the time
Problem is now, 20+ years later.. MEN seem to find shifting their own mindset very hard...and so it goes for the tabloids, talkshyte, R5 and sadly, even broadsheets, where one would expect a little more intelligence and objectivity..
