Disgraceful Journalism again by MUEN

[hertsblue]

FWIW the rags only had three players that started 50% or more of their league games.

Rooney 22, Ferdinand 26 and Carrick 34.

The likes of Duncan, Smalling, Young, Zinedine, Welbeck and Scholes averaged 13 starts each.

Wonder how many Arsenal had.
Wiltshire (always injured), Chamberlain (bought at high expense and not a regular) and Walcott (bought at high expense). Cant think of any more (oh the left or right back what ever his name is.

Come off it Stuart. This article is a prime example of a thread that you were taken to task with on the mancityfans.net forum a few months ago and you categorically denied that this kind of behaviour occurred. This is one of many many instances over the years where negative inferences are written about City by the MUEN and that is why we have called it the MUEN for donkeys years.

Fair play for you asking the hack to take it off the site. Maybe he/she should publish an apology but I certainly will not be holding my breath in anticipation. That paper has always been rag biased and always will be. It's parent company are very rag orientated so what else can we expect...............

You see agenda and intent when, in truth, there was just somebody under pressure, trying to get a high quota of stories up on the website, and making a mistake.
United fans flag up what they perceive as instances of anti-United bias - can you tell me why that should be?
Some Blues will persist in thinking we are anti-City, and some Reds will believe the polar opposite, no matter what we do or say.

I've been waiting around 2 years for someone to say this.

Well put gdm
Am sure even Stuart must see the bile Bates,Ogden,Mcdonnel etc etc churn out against our club,on a daily basis
Would be nice to read what he thinks of these fucking parasites.

Stuart - Have the MEN taken a Holistic approach and removed him :)

what do you think about the relative reporting on the two clubs in the national press? Clearly I am asking that question because I have formed a pretty robust view myself, but I would be interested what your views were.

It seems to me that united, for reasons of their national preeminence, and City because of their arriviste status are treated very differently, to the point of parody, at times.

Don't really want to get into this whole debate too much, as it is a can of worms.
But I work pretty closely with the national boys who cover the Manchester beat, and they are just looking for the best stories - if they get a good story, it doesn't matter which club it relates to, it gets published.
Fergie has perhaps cast a long shadow, but now he has gone, some of United's chickens might come home to roost. It will be an interesting season.
As someone who has no Premier League allegiance, I look at the issue with balance, and there has no doubt been a reaction to City's nouveaux riche status, just as there was to Chelsea, but it has been dying down.
United have had more good press than anyone simply because they have been the best club, in football terms, for the past 20 years

Some of you should read that and take it in.

Can I just say I was unaware of this article until someone tweeted me about it, and even then I did not read it.
Now I have read it, I agree that it is a nonsense re-hash of a poor Mail story, and does us no credit.
It is clearly marked "Gossip", a tool we use to indicate stories that are in other sections of the press, but reading it, it appears to be the MEN's view, or even my view, which I can assure you, it is not.
I have spoken to the lad who is handling the sports section of the website today, and he has agreed to take the piece down.
In my opinion, this piece should not have been used at all, but when we did, it should have been flagged up as a Mail story.
City do this themselves, in the "What the Papers Say" section of their website, but this was a poor effort.
Apologies

*applauds*

thanks for coming on.
