"Rather than celebrate their success as you might expect normal football folk to do, many Manchester City fans appear to have marked the conclusion of the most successful season in their club’s history by raging and frothing at the mouth over perceived media bias against their club. They are not alone, as at the end of another season of domestic dominance fans of a propaganda wing owned by other powerful people in the Middle East have also been left with a sour taste in their mouths."

He's a complete and utter tool this geezer. He's on with max rushden on a Sunday morning on talkshite, he's another bitter anti city 'journalist' who talks complete and utter bollocks.
He sounds pissed up half the time and thinks he's some sort of comedian when in fact he's seriously unfunny.

Won't click the link, but can already guess it's Glendenning.
 
Well it seems Ewan MacKenna has self published his 'article' & as I suspected it's just mud slinging with zero evidence.
Just ignore the throbber blues, all bark & no bite.
Is that because no self respecting tabloid would touch it with a shitty stick ?
 
So... last season, the argument went along these lines: Despite amassing 100 points and breaking multiple records in winning the League, City cannot be considered one of the all time great teams until they have retained the title.

This season, the argument seems to be: with City retaining the title and completing an unprecedented domestic treble, they are just too good a team and are ruining English football by making it uncompetitive.

I wonder if he’s been flashing his knob online recently, he’s an absolute cretin, Sunderland fan my arse.
 
I don't want to talk about the merits or otherwise of the politician for obvious reasons, and it doesn't belong here anyway, but given Miguel Delaney's moral crusade, it is extremely questionable to say the least that his employer is quite happy to approve of political violence:

 
Imagine training to be a Journalist for years, and ending up writing shite like this.

Manchester City stars swig booze in open-top trophy bus parade

MANCHESTER City stars swigged booze on their open-top bus as they got their trophy parade underway. By David Rivers.
 
Manchester City are the greatest team of the Premier League era (ESPN)
You win five of six domestic trophies. You gain 198 of a possible 228 points. You triumph both when you have a 15-point lead in December and when you have a Liverpool team breathing down your neck until the very last game.

Yeah, you get to legitimately ask: are Man City the greatest team in the Premier League era? The answer is yes. As for their lack of Champions League success, it's not an asterisk against their domestic record. It's simply another target in the cross hairs, armed with the realisation that in a knockout competition, anything can happen, including going out on the away goals rule.
 

Great shout and I expect no less from Gab Marcotti, who is balanced and objective and as knowledgeable about the sport as it comes. He’s so funny during transfer season — I make fun of him as he always looks so uncomfortable making predictions about who goes where — but he’s outstanding when it comes to explaining WHY a player might go here or there.

And while we’re on that, in this piece Gab points out the sling/arrow that has been most wrong about City. Remember when City players were all “mercenaries”? Look at the camaraderie and spirit and togetherness. You don’t accomplish what City have without it.

I never thought ESPNFC would ever be the most thoughtful or objective place to find out about the sport’s goings-on, but after the bitterness, temper tantrums, chicanery, unprofessionalism, accusations, outright lies, exaggerations and basically Everest-sized mound of steaming chickenshit pouring forth from so many alleged journalists, they might be!
