Martin Samuel appreciation

[manimanc]

I've seen a spuds fan on twitter claiming that Samuel's son works for City and the journalist in question was the recipient of an all expenses trip to a Grand Prix. Does anybody know if his son is employed by City?

Says it all about the state of the rest of the media that Samuel is seen by city fans as a lone voice / hero and other fans see him as a city lackey just because he doesn't join in the bottom-feeding frenzy.

I never realised that Martin is an English Jew.

...but unlike another English jew, one who purports to be a Blue as well, he manages to put any religious bigotry to one side.

He's not Jewish. Also bringing religion into the discussion is not needed and doesn't reflect well on you.

He had a lovely little dig today, said when Sheffield United were fith surely nobody believed David Gill was putting all this work in to give them a shot at champions league football

A very good point sir.

Sorry to give this it's own thread, but i truly think it deserves one. Absolute brilliant piece of journalism by Martin here, and not just because it's on City's side but because he is telling the whole facts and not just the ones to suit his own personal agenda:
