Spies tend to get their end way a lot more than researchers.

The name’s “moustache”, “gordondaviesmoustache”

Good point, so a researcher is basically an apprentice spy without the perks?

I don’t know where I got it from - perhaps the Swales / Barry Silkmen era but assumed City always had a large Jewish fan base. Is it beyond the realms of possibility that the Guardian writers who are allegedly Fans were never ever going to be happy with the new ownership given their Middle Eastern nationality / religion . Simon Hattenstone is from a Jewish community I suspect he is quite genuine in his comments albeit he maybe using his religious beliefs as a platform maybe wrong.

I understand they’re allowed to watch; for research purposes.

Don't be ridiculous. There are plenty of Jewish people who are journos, and I'd be amazed if any allowed themselves to become biased because of their religion.

Sportswashing accusations against City fans are disgusting .. The whole country is watching the F1 right now and loving it.

Never thought I would see a concerted propaganda campaign against one club.

I don't think they'll be opening it for comments. They've not even allowed comments on the match report which is very unusual.

But not surprising.

It is ridiculous. I know David Conn isn’t a practicing Jew and I don’t think Hattenstone is either. We have a very significant Jewish fan base & no one I know or have heard of has boycotted City because of the owners.

Don't worry. Pidge and frank will be along shortly to explain everything and tell you you're being paranoid.

Is Der Spiegel just printing articles in the hope that if it slings enough mud about 1 of them will one day become true story. I still say we should sue the paper, and the person who hacked us. Aftreall they did break the law.
