Why? It’s possible to be a Guardian subscriber (I’m not) and still think, quite correctly, that Ronay is a ****.
Anyway I’ll look forward to his effusive exaltation of our rise from the ashes

Maybe we should draft a list of anti city lies and post the mild to the down right dreadful )defamation/libel) and see how long before they are taken down if at all - then try and post similar ones about the red shirt clubs and compare the speed of action? Then hit them with the conclusions of bias!

I thought the Ballague article on BBC was quite balanced and insightful despite the headline which was sensationalist.

Thankfully the twonk didn't "got out of town quick".
The greedy bastard hang around there, like a nasty smell, for another 11 seasons, until Scruffy Jim gave him Santa's Sack.
So, the bitter pisscan has seen, first hand, City dominate football for the last decade.
Wonder if he will ever again go to watch the Trafford Termites ?
I doubt it, as the tight twat will have to pay for a ticket and Sir Blobby can no longer sort him out...
I appreciate this level of hatred

I see Sky Sports Christmas Day coverage tonight is as follows:
Sky Sports Main Event
7-10- Darts
10-1 - Class of 92
Sky Sports Premier League
7-9 - Busby (when did he manage/play in the Premier League?!)
9-10 - Overlap
10-1 - Class of 92 (again!)
Sky Sports Football
7-9 - Busby
9-10.30 - Dennis Law documentary
10.30 -11.30 - Overlap
Absolutely ridiculous the amount of coverage United and their story gets from Sky!

It really screams of "please don't stop supporting them, look at how good they used to be!"

It certainly does appear like this, to older fans.
But younger fans are definitely more fickle and more easily won over, to become a glory hunter.
Perhaps this harking back 12 plus years to their halcyon days may make them more unattractive.
Their current team certainly does not have any obvious superstars...

The media has always been about selling news or products (advertising). Huge swathes of the old newspaper industry have died due to being 20 years behind the times (pardon the pun) and broadcast news media is going the same way.
They are still of the misguided belief that the core of their market are red shirt fans. You need only look at the pundits to get see their thinking.
That isn't to say they aren't starting to recognise City because they are, but we are still very much the interlopers who are due a public downfall and they can't wait to write the inside story on that.
The sad truth is, even the headlines are downright misleading, and endless articles discussing the yesteryear achievements of United or 'greatest in PL history' analyses shows that journalism is morphing from into crowd pleasing and regurgitation.
At least in the old days, quality news was worth paying for. Nowadays, it can no longer compete with the immediacy of social media and has to lower itself to comic book status to try and survive.

Now that’s a bloody good reason right there to cancel Sky
