Cheers. So the same guy who asked pep about his views on human rights issues in the middle east after he got fined for wearing a yellow ribbon in support of democracy.Rob Harris, an absolute bitter bell end. When he once asked a question GPC didn't like he was banned from the swamp. GPC's order to fuck him off was picked up on a Sky microhone. City should ban him as well.
Yet he doesn't seem to ask questions to Klopp about standard charters murky dealings or the glazers way of running up debt, or abramovic and his russian connections.

Not sure whether it’s been mentioned but McGeehan’s at it now, having a pop at Kompany for praising Khaldoon. A couple of comments telling him otherwise, one of them a Gooner:

Delaney is pushing the sportwashing now.
Man is a prize nob
Just ask him why he is happy to be employed by a paper whose two biggest shareholders are a Russian and Saudi.
And of course, ask him when he will be taking a selfie on a Saudi militia armed pick up truck involved directly in the Yemen conflict like his Russian owners son has.
Must be decent blood pay at the Independent...

@JASR My mate dug out the accounts but I can’t post as I’m out. Turnover was £9,555,883. The transfer spend is pretty easy to find on Transfermarket website, shows spend of £10.1m.My post about fergie spending one an a half times there turnover was my memory of when Michael Knighton was offering 20m for united and they were saying it was over double there turnover and then them spending around 14m that summer it was actually what I remember at the time not what I read. So thats some great research.
This was the most expensive team in history that we finished on level points with and beat 5-1 with a team of youth players.
Funny how history seems to have forgotten that...

Alright maybe I'm being slightly harsh - he's not as bad as some.
I seem to remember him being overly harsh on us at a point on Sunday Supplement se years back...........
You remember correctly

Some of these articles are very damaging and I hope they have the facts to back it up!
I think it’s Going to be a messy summer either way

Ray of Man City Fan TV is currently having a twitter spat with Little Miggy and Barry Glendenning. You remember him (via 'The 100 Worst People On Twitter'):
'Barry Glendenning is a man who writes for the Guardian on Sport. He’s mostly known for his appearances on Football Weekly, however, where he’s selected as the comedy counterweight to the European Football Experts and Enganche Enthusiasts that make up the rest of the panel. In theory, a fine idea, but the truth is that his presence has ruined what was once football’s only acceptable podcast (as one Twitter user noted, “Richardson, Steinberg, Auclair and Glendenning. It’s like having a back four of Maldini, Moore, Desailly and Gary Doherty.”)
That’s one side of Baz, but as we keep reminding you, this is the 100 Worst People On Twitter, and Barry likes to relax of an evening with some casual Twitter beef. This is occasionally justified - football writing is different to other writing, because the writers tend to be slightly less privileged, the subject matter is entirely unimportant, and a lot of commenters are blinkered fans - but often not. So we get tedious exchanges of “no, YOU’RE a ****” back and forth with people with 16 followers, partly because Negative Comments On Articles Are The Worst Crime Against Humanity Imaginable, and partly because Glendenning imagines himself as Bill Hicks slapping down the hecklers.
Yes, Glendenning fancies himself as a comedian. We’re all well aware by now that only the most fuck-awful human beings ever consider that as a career choice, and he even gave it a go once. He was pretty awful by all accounts, and while I didn’t see it, I’m surprised the sense of humour that had him cracking along with a “black men have big penises, ha ha ha” riff at a recent football awards show didn’t stand him in good stead with his target audience.
The real issue here, though, is that none of Glendenning’s material has any sort of consistency or logic to it whatsoever. Athletic Bilbao are beating Manchester United? Ha, shows what a two-team league La Liga is! Real Madrid are 18 points clear of the team in 3rd? Ha, shows what an open and competetive league La Liga is! (Irony is one of the foremost subtle literary techniques among the Glendenning oeuvre.)
And if you’re gonna make negativity your schtick (and before you start, we’ve dished out plenty of praise, and you should’ve seen the messages we got after giving a nod to Seth Macfarlane), it’s probably best to ensure you actually do it full-time and to all targets. In reality, every night on Twitter is punctuated with Comedy Baz’s ham-fisted flails in the direction of any woman regardless of age or availability. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen an overweight, ageing football journalist try to flirt, but it has all the grim horror and can’t-look-away amazement as an M25 pile-up.
We’ll finish, as we probably always should, with a short anecdote which perfectly encapsulates the man. A while back, as compliant with Twitter Dickhead Law, yer man posted a photo of some booze on Twitter. What he didn’t realise was that it linked to his flickr account, the previous photo being him, standing, walloper in hand, presumably sent to one of the many girls he talks to. How did he react to the only funny thing he’s ever done? He denied it, deleted the picture, refused to discuss it, and blocked anyone who dared mention it. There’s your sense of humour. He’s like a fat Irish version of Graham Linehan.'
