An ultimately meaningless affectation designed to create an illusion of seniority and/or sophistication, where none would otherwise exist. A bit like when Marks and Spencer are advertising their overpriced food on the telly and they inform us that their ham is in fact Royal Wootton ham, as if the pigs from which it were sourced were somehow superior to the pigs found in other parts of Wiltshire.....

He’s got the cheek on Twitter trying to act innocent regarding the article he’s published. Just another hatchet job on our club.

It’s the classic media gaslighting move of recent years. Bait City fans with bullshit playing to the redshirt gallery, then play the ‘touchy’ card when they get some shit back

He finally succumbed to liver failure unfortunately at the age of 64, I was outside the Church in Ashton where they had the service, it was rammed inside and out, most of his team mates were there and loads of City fans in their colours.

Btw, he hated the Rags!

My Mam and Dad were very good friends of Tommy and Edna Doyle, Mikes, Mam and Dad. When Mike signed for Stoke and were due to play City, Tommy said to my Dad , I'll get tickets if you drive me down. Anyway the Saturday came and we picked Tommy up. Mike had arranged car parking and the tickets were at the office. Arriving at Stoke, we headed for the office. I've never seen anybody as proud as Tommy when he went up to the counter and said I'm Mr Doyle, Michael's father ,have you got my tickets.

Don’t worry, there will soon be a “Between Manchester United and City, they’ve won 6 of the last 10 Premier League titles!” story posted to save his job.
 
Just a reminder that our recent dominance is ruining the Premier League.

(In the last 10 seasons 5 different clubs have won the league. In the 20 PL seasons before that, only 5 different teams had won the title, with United winning it 12 times, or 60% of the time. We have won it 50% of the time in the last 10 seasons.)

Back in the 80's, I was dating a girl from Hurst Cross area of Ashton. Her old man had a car showroom, and one evening he told me a fellow dealer was coming round over some business, and said I might be interested in meeting him.

Yup, it was Mike Doyle. He was really chatty, polite and a friendly guy. On leaving, he shook my hand, and I asked him if it was true he really hated the rags so much?
He pulled me towards him, and practically growled in my ear ''I still fucking well do'''. :-)

Good story, Mike Doyle had a Car Sales garage, Hartshead Motors, on Oldham Road Bardsley for a few years. He sold the business plot to his mate at Rodo Brushes (same fella I caddied for) Rodo is a huge business now based in Droylesden.

Hated Rags with a passion. My wife was friends with his daughter growing up. She always says he was just a wonderful man. Taken too soon.

If some pundit had made the argument the year before the PL started that United had 'istory, and City didn't they'd have been laughed out of the studio.

13 wins in 21 years.

Liverpool were similar - around for 130 years, but 10 of their titles came in just 15 years.

Another cowboy who can’t even be bothered to read the CAS documents. Just peddling the narrative with no challenge or scrutiny to the PL claims. No balance no fairness and no context. Just the usual shite we have come to expect from people who claim to be sports journalists.

"Man city have turned the Premier league into a farmers league" Yeah like it was so bloody competitive before we were taken over.
 
I quite like CNN News.

But even they’ve fallen for the United 1.1 billion fans myth and lie.

At least they added ‘self-proclaimed’.
