I'm sure when it was more local it was better, and was usually reasonably fair, but its become a complete joke now.
I was only 7, so didn't read much of it back then :)The southern press was fucking dreadful 50 years ago.

You will of heard of the Chinese fella who cheated his way to the title though: 'Lee Won Pen' ?
Same shit.
Edit: Fuck! I posted 'will of'
'He' will get me again.
I had a united fan who used to go on about ‘unearned money’ defending our owners against the media onslaught the other day. Totally surreal.I have never known it so bad, but the more they spout their spiteful bile the more they reveal their true colours.
It has reached such a ridiculous desperate frenzy, that aside from fan's of clubs with a vested interest in their poison, most rational fans are beginning to see it for what it is.
Unless they sold up to any club outside the established elite.Whats the end game for these journalists? Do they just want to see City's owners up sticks so it benefits their paymasters or are they genuinely concerned about human rights abuses? Now they all go on about sports washing and human rights abuses but I have not seen any journalist question the government on those issues. The government is who these journalists should be taking their crusade to, not offering random City fans out for a debate on social media.
I think I know the answer. If City's owners sold up tomorrow, we would never hear a word regarding human rights abuses in the UAE ever again from these journalists.
Does he still hold the record for most penalties scored in a season?
Any other views on this statement:
But the tone of this resistance, the aggressive statements, the idea put out there that this is all some ill visited on the disempowered, is at best cloth-eared and at worst a glimpse of the hard edges, the regime behind this extraordinary project club.
I usually give Barney a bit of slack as i think his brief is to be a bit alternative. This article appears written with no research and or to an agenda set by others. How long has it taken City's PR to put something out there?
West Germany.Don't know.
But it wasn't even the title season, yet it still gets mentioned, as if it was.
Along with how Bobby Charlton going off, v Germany & Bell coming on, cost England the World Cup in Mexico.

Good old consistent BarneyEven by the Guardian's standards this is low....

Football plays with fire as it merrily fans the flames of hate and division
....Football rage is there most obviously in the self-contained shout-box inanities of the internet. At last weekend’s FA Cup final there was a minor media furore as a lone, well-refreshed Manchester City supporter stormed the press box and began to offer up rambling brain-thoughts about anti-City bias, conspiracies against the little man and the inexplicable trend for publishing newspaper articles about Premier League golden boot winner Mohamed Salah.
It became a kind of confirmation event, proof that the angry social media presence among City’s fanbase is indeed present in the flesh; a support that appears to have never been so upset even while watching their team win a sublime domestic treble....
This tribalism has been weaponised, expertly. Firstly by broadcasters and newspapers, who have become practised in fanning the idiot wind. Red against blue, super Sunday showdowns, overheated clickbait feuds. All of this has been good for business. And secondly by something more sinister and managed. Like Orwell’s two minutes in 1984, rage can be a useful thing too.
City are right to resist Uefa’s investigation into financial fair play if they feel it is in error. They may well be exonerated at the end. But the tone of this resistance, the aggressive statements, the idea put out there that this is all some ill visited on the disempowered, is at best cloth-eared and at worst a glimpse of the hard edges, the regime behind this extraordinary project club.
West Germany.
Fellow professionals?True, I reckon most of them only write negative articles about us for clicks anyway and when they see fellow professionals like Delaney and Harris actually on a real crusade against us they are probably a bit baffled by what they're saying.
The internet casts more light on hypocrisy of these cünts than hitherto; however, some people are still transfixed by the sleight of hand of the ‘romance’ of the established clubs.Nobody likes bullies. They might find it funny for a period of time, but even the biggest crock of shit feels uneasy standing by and watching after a while. Most decent fan's know deep down we don't deserve it and the more intelligent amongst them know why it's happening. The tide will turn, it might get even uglier, but we will prevail. Karma deems it.
Don't know.

I’m more punctilious, than a pedant.Pedant.
