I’m absolutely outraged that Jonathan Wilson had to suffer the harrowing, devastating indignity of not being recognised when trying to stick up for some two bit hack out in Istanbul.
It’s appalling that we City fans don’t treat the good people of the mainstream media with the respect their second class degrees in journalism so richly deserve, and refer to them by name when interacting with them out on the terraces!
They’re sensitive flowers, and we must respect their right to sanctimoniously, disingenuously and relentlessly provoke and denigrate our fanbase without response - for we know they are fighting the good fight.
We know they only devote their every column to wittering incessantly about how awful City are because we are the only club who warrant scrutiny. We know football club ownership and management has been a benevolent, decent and upstanding profession for over a century, and these honest brokers are simply alive to the first whiff of transgression - training their lens without prejudice on our club as they would any other which aroused suspicion.
It’s their right to provoke and attack without response, as they are the brave custodians of the soul of football - impartial moral arbiters, with a keen grasp on the financial and geopolitical complexities underpinning the modern game.
They’re here to educate us, the great unwashed, bestowing on us the gifts of their incisive insights and understanding - gifts which are sadly beyond the grasp of those of us not lucky enough to sponge three years studying football journalism at university.
So please - do your best to remember their names next time they defend one another to a bit of unsavoury chanting.
They do so abhor the indignity of being ignored!
