Are you seriously suggesting only one supports the rags? ONEI know some will say it doesn't/shouldn't matter but I did find this article from a while back interesting:
Which teams do football writers support?
Maybe it's worth it's own thread, that we can add to. For a more complete, up to date look, at the landscape we're dealing with?

At one time the team a journalist may have been relevant in perhaps showing some bias towards their own club.Are you seriously suggesting only one supports the rags? ONE
Unfortunately, modern journalism has now changed into the paid shills and clickbait.
I am surprised though how nobody has called out Klopp's bullying behaviour.
All 4th Officials will be grateful that Lurch is off to Real Madrid, with his full backroom team...

Of course he does. It’s just more innuendo, so if we both qualify, the media, Talk Sport & the like can call us out on it & complain about how unfair it is
That’s exactly what it is. They are trying to paint a picture City or CFG don’t follow the rules & the rule makers let us get away with it.
Surprised that David Conn didn’t make the list…I know some will say it doesn't/shouldn't matter but I did find this article from a while back interesting:

“The European Cup was nothing back then.” Revisionist nonsense. You had to win your league to get in it. Then it was knockout, no seeding, no guarantee playing first leg away etc.It’s not but the European Cup was nothing back then, compared to now. For e.g. the dippers beat Brugges in the 1978 final. They had a bye in round one then only played Dresden, followed by Benfica then Monchengladbach in the semi.
Paisley was an absolutely outstanding manager. To say or hint otherwise is small time.
