Just don’t read it Sam Cuntingham wouldn’t be missed if he left this earth.

I never click on shite like that. The headlines alone just beggar belief.

If city ever let this dude on the premises they need their heads testing

I’ve never heard of him. I don’t miss him either.

Is the right answer. It’s the I. They rely on clickbait like this to operate. There’s a reason this bloke’s working there and Samuel is at The Times.

You still wouldn’t make the top four you rag ****.

Have they actually reported the Judges’ verdict yet? Or are they still bogged down in the PL’s claims that they won the case.

30-40 years ago I might buy a newspaper following a good result for City and read it from back to front with our match report first

If it was a major significant victory (10-1,5-1) then I might buy another newspaper, but if we lost then I might not buy any at all.

I'm sure there were countless supporters who did something similar, but we never knew how many, or indeed how many rags did the complete opposite

Nowadays we do know and that's why the vast majority of media articles are posted for their click bait audience, and more importantly, why so many authors write the version of the truth that their regular subscribers prefer.

It's also far easier to become a journalist and write an article that occasionally stumbles upon the truth, as opposed to a seriously considered and balanced article.

Most pathetic of all it's why we have to tolerate United v City when the alphabet suggests otherwise or Man City v Manchester United, because whilst we might complain, the rags simply won't click the link if it decides them as Man United

Fuck em!

You know, 40 - 50 years ago we didn't have all this bollocks.

Even in the bad old days of hooligans etc, I could get on a train, sit opposite someone, who then clocked my pin badge. It might have been a Chelsea, Villa, Everton or Leeds fan. We'd have a converstion about football. It didn't matter what team it was, what league they were in, fans in them days were educated about the game. Non of this "we're bigger than you" bullshit. Just a converstaion about football in general. Even the write ups in papers by "knowledgable reporters" were well worth a read.

Not anymore.

I hardly know anything about other teams now. I stopped reading/buying papers many moons ago. I deliberately avoid other fans because I know what's coming. It's just a merry-go-round of click bait tossers who have no idea or are just stirring the pot trying to score points.

Fuck'em all.

I think I stepped in him this morning. Had to hose the bottom of my shoe to get him off.

Its relentless Sly 7pm top story ETH.
Joke of a media outlet.....i know i should know better.
But the PL being handed there arses on s plate must surly be top story regardless of Citys involvement

My feelings exactly. Moron level seems to be the new bar now

Au contraire. I would have him in in a heartbeat. Not sure about his post-discussion condition on leaving mind.
