1**Arsenal**: Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams, and Herbert Chapman.
2. **Chelsea**: Peter Osgood and Gianfranco Zola.
3. **Everton**: Dixie Dean and the Everton Trinity (Colin Harvey, Howard Kendall, Alan Ball).
4. **Leeds United**: Billy Bremner and Don Revie.

5. **Manchester City**: Colin Bell, Francis Lee, Mike Summerbee,
6. **Manchester United**: Sir Matt Busby, Sir Alex Ferguson, George Best, Denis Law, and Bobby Charlton.

I’m sure there’s more missing, World Cup west ham players, Dippers not included..

Curzon Ashton , clearly aiming for world domination with three World Cup Winners ...

If Janathon Liew is still allowed onto press briefings, then someone needs sacking.

Whilst not condoning violence. The lack of these tw#ts being verbally confronted and called out in person, is disappointing.
We're great on here, but according to a steward I know in the media area. They can't recall one single incident of a verbal confrontational discussion.
Disappointing.

The last time any City fan stood up and was counted for telling the media what a fucking shambles they are was Kieron at Wembley after us cementing the domestic treble.
Fuck me some of the Guv'nors would be turning in their graves

The Guardian is a strange organisation these days. It seems to simultaneously publish anti-Arabic and anti-semitic content. But it is not balanced (or even Liberal) in the way it covers any issues. It just spreads hate. It is as bad as the Daily Mail in speading hate. And both these papers relentlessly spread hate about City.

It should be renamed the Daily Empire, written by people brought up to sneer at the great unwashed.

Reminds me of the article that posh public school boys tried to hide amongst us with interests in the working man’s game. Liew & his mates never used their jumpers for goal posts, deep down they have no understanding of their subject.

How today’s wealthy present themselves differently

A new book offers an engrossing but flawed takedown of Britain’s most privileged

Michael Jackson from Fulhams

Stevie Starfish from the Dippers.

Like a fool i read Liews latest scribbling. The salvating at our downfall is palpable. The craven sycophancy to LFC embarassing.

The cowardly sad little thing doesn’t allow any comments on his articles and probably likewise on social media. Hes a nobody running with the herd trying to make a name for himself whilst in reality hes writing for a dwindling readership.

Hopefully the Manchester (how ironic) Guardian will one day disappear and take their snide journalists with them.

It is so hard not to hate

Liew is up there with Delooney and Herbert, an absolute cock who is stealing a living. I don't think he has ever written an article praising City.

Change the title back to The Agenda thread!

Khaldoon should absolutely respond to the despots and pomp comments. Either call him out in public or confront him on match day in front of others. Not a sound beating from Khaldoon, as fucking funny as that would be, just stand in front of him and ask him to explain his comments.

Those comments are straight up derogatory and aimed straight at him and Sheikh Mansour.

Sam Lee was approached in regards his comments on City just this season

He became confrontational first and when challenged he started throwing insults

There is a thread on it in the forum

Many city fans backed him. I think he even went on a podcast advertised perhaps on here giving his side of the story which seemed to be accepted by many

I see them as a click sticking together.

The media, the podcasts, the social media etc
