It might be the theatre of Dreams, but its the one where all your teeth fall out.

Possibly the best put-down of that lot since Jason Manford's line to the effect that "just like rats, you're never more than three feet away from a United fan".

Does any other team in the country, maybe apart from Everton, have a local paper that actively hopes their best players will leave?

Ridiculous article that proves the MEN remains out of touch with its core audience

Pretty obvious it was not written for City fans.

i remember a report, by Peter Gardener in MEN Green, that read " There was a good following of United supporters here at Highbury today the ground is full of red and white scarves". Proves they have always had poor football writers at that paper.

You sure it was Peter in 'the Green'?

The 'Green' was predominantly the summer edition mainly about cricket.

The 'Pink' was the football paper and David Meek was the scum reporter, Peter was the City reporter.

I stand to be corrected

Depends a bit what part of the city you were in, but the Green’un was quite popular.
The Green was MEN and the Pink the Evening Chron, iirc.

IIRC when the UEFA Cup final was held at our place, Meek was somehow allowed to write an article about football in Manchester for the programme, and used his bully pulpit to bitterly and shamelessly slag off City and our fans. Even though the final was at our ground

Interesting. My dad always said the Chron was a much better paper for City stuff.
