I'm not a big fan of the Daily Mail but Martin Samuels is excellent on a range of topics. For example he consistently attacked Blatter & Platini long before he they were forced to resign.
The Debate he does on Thursdays is a great read.
As mentioned above he tackles the internet trolls about Pep and our success very well in this article.

My Favorite bit from todays piece.

No team has spent more than Manchester City and Paris St Germain. Fact. Other teams spend change in comparison. Fact. Another fact is that City and PSG do the same thing by buying success. Another fact: name a nobody player that Guardiola turned into a superstar. I can name a few from Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho, even Brendan Rogers. That is coaching – teaching a kid how to become a world beater. Fact: Guardiola can’t do it, because he lacks the skill and ability. He is more of a manager of big egos. Lucky Modise, South Africa.
M.S.
It’s a funny thing, but the more a poster uses the word ‘fact’ the more likely he is to be offering up rambling, half-baked opinions. Lucky here thinks that Manchester City and PSG are the same, presumably because they both benefit from Middle Eastern owners, which is mildly racist if you think about it. UEFA adopted a similar attitude when they fined the clubs exactly the same, despite their very different business models. And Guardiola doesn’t develop players, lucky? Ever heard of Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets, Dani Alves, Thiago or Rafinha? All shaped by Guardiola. Even in this City side, De Bruyne didn’t look like one of the best midfielders in Europe until Guardiola came along, Sterling didn’t look like the best wide forward in England, either. Even an old hand like David Silva has a new lease of life. And calling the money spent by United change is simply laughable. The difference is roughly £40m, barely a decent full-back at the going rate. I am sorry the Premier League team you have chosen to support is now getting their arses handed to them in a high hat by Manchester City, but you can’t get bitter.
