I was watching BBC Parliament - it was a committee about the Intergrated Railway Plan. I know I am very sad.
The two gentlemen being quizzed was the Chair of Network Rail and Chair of the National Infrastructure Commission. Whilst the Chair of the N. I. C. was speaking the mobile of the Chair of Network Rail went off...

It was "Mind the gap"

I hope said chairman is a diehard Man City supporter.

If not, I have just lost five minutes of my life.
One of the platforms on my way into work now announces ‘please mind the gap’ ..makes me want to sing it right down the train as just like cockroaches and rats there’s bound to be a few Aussie bandwagon boys lurking.
 
As I have mentioned on many occasions journalism in the main stream not just in sport but all areas has become increasingly distanced from the truth. Like a drunk who can't remember their misdemeanors of the night before they strike out at those who question their actions I suggest you find whatever solace and insight can be found outside of this ever depreciating circus and listen to sensible alternative voices.
Problem is, it isn't just sport, we are in the general misinformation, sometimes propaganda age. Murdoch et al have won.
 
I could be wrong but I got the impression he was told to tone his anti-city bile down a bit, in his latest article. I found myself thinking: "Oh... That's all you have for us, Nick?". Maybe there was more I missed, because I didn't even read his summary. Everyone knew the real motivation for his survey and the sentiment likely for the follow up article, so I was expecting much worse.

I hope he was told to tone it down by his editor(on the City hate) and I hope he was really pissed off about it, just for the comedy value(he spent weeks on this). "But But sir... that was the whole point of my article". If even the editors at the Guardian think you've lost the plot with anti-City bias, you really should reflect on what is you're doing and assess your mental state.

Maybe his Editor reminded him that he’s not an expert !
 
The Guardian regularly describes Manchester City as sportswashing the UAE, logically then every international game is sportswashing, and yet this is used only in reference to Manchester City.
