EddH, if you are wound up by something like that, I think you really should consider the option of not watching City, or at least not reading about them.
One of the many good traits of a City fan is the ability to laugh at ourseleves and the Club. Bernard Manning was as big a Blue as they came, and he took the piss out of City far more than that article could ever do. No disrespect to you, but I am afraid to say that your attitude is like that of a United fans, who hate the piss being taken out of them and their Club.
