It's become such a squalid profession.
I'd say Hugh McIvanney would be turning in his grave but:
a) he's not dead yet and
b) he's as bad as any of them these days

I'd noticed that. Such a brilliant writer, too. What a shame.I'd say Hugh McIvanney would be turning in his grave but:

Oh I don`t know. Mr.Brennan speaks very highly of us. ;)Sadly, there are very few football journalists in this country with genuine integrity.

Oki firstly I never popped up with this positive article. It was actually posted by another to highlight the perceived agenda and under a little more scrutiny it was actually a positive article a point many tried to ignore to fit in the agenda narrative. As for the picture it is a classic caption and I have no problem with it being used. I have my doubts anyone would look at that picture and subconsciously think 'City must be boring to watch'. The reality is anyone who has found that page will have an understanding of football and no full well the type/style of football we play.
But interestingly if you think this is a picture to strengthen an 'agenda' that City play boring football. What exactly will the consequence be of this picture? Because surely it will have a purpose?
You are correct though I do not think there is an agenda by FIFA, UEFA, Michel Platini, Sky, BBC, ITV, Niall Quinn, Jamie Jackson, Trevor Sinclair, Jamie Carragher, Jamie Redknapp, Jeff Stelling, Martin Tyler, all the referees, The Daily Mail, Mirror, Sun, Telegraph, Guardian, Manchester Evening News, and all the others who have been accused on this forum. Just a collection of opinions, some positive and some negative.
Like many on here I was amazed that Sergio did not make the team of the year but was pleased many in the media have also highlighted that he should have been included. Again suggesting just a range of differing opinions.
I defend City all the time when the needs must. What I don't do is continually moan on a forum about an agenda but then continue to read the articles, buy the papers, subscribe to sky when I believe these organisations are out to undermine the future success of the club. That to me would be more of an act of Uncle Tom, showing subservience.
Are you for real? clearly the fault most blues will find with that article is the pictures. Most who see those pictures will never click the article they will take subconciously that city are the most boring. You always make me laugh Frank. You ignore tons of negative articles yet will pop up with a positive one as if that is proof. You have nailed yourself to the mast and will not budge. Same as pidge, who can take you seriously. If you put as much effort into defending city as you do with correcting city fans people may see you as something other than just another uncle tom apologist.

No you just moan about the moaners on a thread created for the moaners to moan.

Yes but to be fair, @stuart brennan is the Manchester City correspondent for a Manchester newspaper, he's biased. :)Oh I don`t know. Mr.Brennan speaks very highly of us. ;)
Doing a good job though.
