A typically "edgy" take from a Guardian sub-editor.

It's not even true.

Aguero cost us £30.5m, we know that from his leaked contract that came out several years later.

Not the £38m that was reported, but even that was not particularly expensive.

Alex Hess: Relentlessly attention-seeking, incredibly needy, and, speaking from a position of absolute certainty, completely devoid of facts, intelligence or testicles. An era-defining “sports journalist”.

 

[Plain Speaking]

I think the Express has consistently more hate for our club than any other national paper. Usually ignores any success we have and twists anything neutral against us. Uniquely they have "Aguero quits City" as their headline, tossers!

Complete the medal collection? Last time I checked, you had to actually qualify for the CL in order to win it.

Yeah, but he gets to pose with trophies they won in the past if he goes there.

It's really depressing how shit the british sports press/media are.

Who cares, to be fair? I'm guessing you didn't follow this guy before finding his Aguero tweet, and it's not all that wrong anyway. Aguero is relentlessly good and was expensive (good value =/= cheap). I don't find him especially fascinating as a character either.

He’s a good friend of ‘Charlie Clitlicker’ aka Sachin Nakrani, one of the Guardian sports desk’s resident sexual deviants

He is a relentlessly bitter Scouse hypocrite

I've never heard of him. it really doesn't bother me what he tweets on his personal account. by the looks of it the guardian never give him any proper football writing assignments anyway

It's very sad the majority of "journalists(fanzine writers) are incapable of writing a professional article without expressing their own personal agendas AND the relevant
Editors allowing it to proceed.

Here's another take:

From the outside looking in, a member of an embittered, agenda-driven press corps who bears the same family name as one of the leaders of a mass-genocidal regime who were also among the most relentless subverters of truth and objectivity in history.

With a surname like Hess, he would certainly know a thing or two about having a warped viewpoint, eh?

I’ve supported City for 50 years and during that time made connections with hundreds of fellow fans- work colleagues, mates, mates of mates, son’s mates etc. I don’t know one person who claims to be a disaffected ex fan amongst all of them. Yet the Guardian has managed to find at least 2 amongst their ever dwindling staff.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Great little phone in about Sergio, on Radio Manchester at the moment with Mike Sweeney. Fair play to Sweeney, he’s just said his lad is a Blue!

Hope it's killing the red **** inside.

Send him this too :-
if twitter posts were penis's, the truth would be King Dong, that post would be Max Clifford.

His Uncle Rudolph made more sense.

Employing Uncle Toms to give the appearance of ‘balance’ is part of their narrative
