Don’t let time fade your judgement. Motson was a sycophantic ****. Absolutely despised him.

He was the typical swot/geek/arselicker who had no personality.
Was the first to anaesthetise the listener/viewer with irrelevant boring statistics (Jonathan Pearce is his current day equivalent).
Barry Davies was the Boyo...

Play the commentary from City’s website and pause the telly for a few seconds until it synchs with the commentary.

Alistair Mann and Michael Brown with a slightly City centric but not absurdly biased commentary. No shoehorned in clueless female co comm, no sly digs, no advertising 300 upcoming games twice every half - just a match focused commentary.

commentary was awful last night. these channels need to do something to improve

I see Simon Hattenstone is a City fan again this week, maybe just so he can write Tony Book’s eulogy in the Guardian which is actually quite decent. And he calls our current success joyful, which is a bit of a change from his usual hand wringing. I guess next week his conscience will kick in again

I recall Simon Hattenstone explaining in the Guardian as to why supporters should abandon watching football and switch to Rugby Union. This was after England had won won the Rugby World Cup. He went on to argue that supporting Newcastle Rugby was preferable to supporting any football team, because they had Jonny Wilkinson. This omitted the fact that Wilkinson had hardly played a match for Newcastle after the World Cup win because of injury.

Hattenstone is a clown. He always has been and he always will be. I have been a Guardian reader for the last sixty years and will continue to be so, but I object to that idiot far more than than any other Guardian journalist.

I for one do not mind people reading our great British press on a regular basis.

As long as they don't believe a bloody word they read.

Didn’t he insinuate in the article that he had been amongst the City fans at Brentford singing themselves hoarse? I only skimmed the article. The Prodigal Son is erm….

Then we have Rag mouthpiece Duncan Castles promoting his podcast…

Can you guess what team he doesn’t like?

It will be the team making a ‘mistake’ and over paying ha.

That’s not ‘the media’ though. That’s disinformation and misinformation central, otherwise known as The Musk Daily…

Duncan Castles works for The Sunday Times and The Daily Record.

He doesn’t ’work for’ the Times or The Sunday Times, although he may have articles published in those publications occasionally.
My point was that the linked article was on X, which you do have to go looking for and I do wonder why some City fans are so obsessed finding even more negative articles. It’s not like anyone who knows anything about anything doesn’t know about Duncan Castles and his rag leaning proclivities…..
