My favourite was: "Why can't City score goals this season? It's the great Manchester City mystery." You don't need to be Miss Marple to realise we have had no strikers for 75 per cent of our games. Even McPointalot was embarrassed by Ian Darke's relentless negativity about City.
The problem with fools like Darke is he is too lazy to do his job properly. Why mention that Foden "doesn't start Premier League games" when he has started plenty of CL games and we have to rotate the squad? There is no balance and context.

same breath slagging us off for Foden not starting PL games they bang on about how clinical and impressive Torres has been with his CL appearances. It's just nonsense.

If he wants to dish out shit then he should also be prepared to take it back. Too many of these media saps think they can say what they like, then get offended when people give it back. People like Herbert, the drunken sex-pest Glendenning and others like them. They're just plain nasty so we're quite entitled to be nasty back. Then they have the nerve to say City fans are a sensitive bunch.

Darke has already played the ‘sensitive’ card

Genuinely is any of that good? Chasing a 66 year old bloke around twitter insulting him.

I thought he commentary was decent last night, yes people have pointed out him mentioning the price of players, which arguably is a fair point, but I don't get the insults and its unlikely to endear the club to him for future commentaries.

You are, of course, correct about the Twitter storm but there is a bigger picture here. Ian Darke is not the only commentator who is incapable of covering City in an impartial way. The constant sniping (and that's what it is) has gone on for years. There are so many people in key positions who simply can't hide their dislike of our club. I think City fans are entitled to defend the club and I think our lobbying is slowly improving things and has helped people like Nedum, Micah, and Trevor Sinclair get more airtime. All I want to see is fair, balanced, and honest critical coverage of City.

I think to me there us a difference between commenting on transfer fees, as people on here and his twitter feed seem bothered about, and getting personal.

As highlighted earlier, a couple if the fees were mentioned in the context of what a bargain it was, rather than used as a slight.

You believe that the likes of United and Liverpool’s transfer fees are referred to as frequently, and in the same terms, as ours?
