None of them wind me up as much as Jackson. Even Ogden doesn't. It's probably because Jackson's Twitter account is so incredibly obnoxious towards City, while Ogden is a bit more professional.
Who is that writer at The Sun though, who did the 'good triumphs over evil' thing after the Charity Shield a few years ago? Steve Howard was it? That guy is another who should never be allowed to step foot in the Etihad again, along with several of those pictured.
I can understand a diplomatic approach from City, but some of these people obviously harbour a grudge against the club, so why are they still rewarded with access and exclusives?
Jackson is a proper dickhead, but it's hard to take him too seriously as he has virtually no journalistic credibility. As I recall, he was almost jailed for contempt of court for tweeting the name of a juror during Redknapp's trial.
His anti-City stuff is embarrassing (only tweeting updates from games he is covering when we concede, but not when we score etc), but if it's any consolation he's loathed in equal measures by the very United fans he panders to, judging by their forums.
Even the normally placid Pep Guardiola thinks he's a tool too:

It's some achievement to be almost universally disliked within the game, but he's little more than a professional wum.
The Guardian lose credibility themselves by having him as their Manchester correspondent. He makes Ogden, Ladyman and McDonnell almost palatable.
