Me (I think).

I haven't tried particularly hard to get blocked though to be fair.

He tried blocking me so I just started following him in real life

Pretty decent article in the Irish Independent by James Ducker. Unusual from that paper it has to be said.

Wow. That's really professional from ducker, fair fucks to him.

I've accused him of being a bitter utd fan when he writes but this piece is spot on and what we've wanted to hear from journalists.

No blowing smoke up our arse, just credit where credits due.

Is the worm turning? Maybe not but two articles in a week telling rivals to pipe down because City are, well, just better than you.

Crikey. Maybe, just maybe, Ducker has intelligence enough to anticipate the way the wind is blowing and is beginning to position himself to steal a march on his obsolete colleagues.

Have the WhatsApp group had a falling out?

They aren't there anymore, but I always want people to remember the time that somebody (almost certainly Miguel Delaney) started a fake Twitter account as a City fan the night before the CAS announcement, declaring that CAS had ruled in UEFA's favour as part of his inside information. And when challenged on it he made an attempt to validate his City fan credentials, including describing himself as a 'Top Bert'

That’s a good read, a well balanced perspective.

Just wish he hadn’t used the expression “well-oiled”

When Pep leaves City (probably 18 months from now) there will a section of the media who have just missed the story of a revolution in English football. Probably one of the biggest stories in their careers. Some people are ahead of the curve (think Martin Samuel) and others miss the boat. Ten years ago a large part of the English press pack used to promote Sam Allardyce, mainly because he was a good laugh who used to get the drinks in. These are the same fools who have spent the last decade trying to mock Pep.

His best mate McKenna similarly and quickly went off the deep end into a thoroughly self destructive spiral of Ian Brown-style Covid denier conspiracy madness. This was not only indicative of an obsessive and delusional personality disorder which drove his ludicrous and defamatory campaign against City, but has rendered him even more unemployable than he already was.
At least he used to get sympathy commissions from his mates. Now he has fallen out with nearly all of them as well and is reduced to begging for spare change on Twitter and his barking at the moon blog.

Has he released his smoking gun piece yet?

 

[Tarzan41]

I feel a bit sorry for him. He has allowed his head to be consumed so much by all things City he is completely obsessed with us.

that means he has lost any sense of objectivity - which is a key skill of a good journo

the mental gymnastics he must do criticising city fans on human right whilst choosing to TAKE MONEY from his Saudi owners must consume him too

He seems a nice lad. I hope he finds some peace

By mental gymnastics I assume you mean rank hypocrisy
