Pellegrini: Barcelona are on the slide.
Nowhere in the article is he quoted as saying that!

they probably would have printed it as a full page ad, ****s :(GazC said:Only the MEN could publish a City v Barca preview with more references to United than either City or Barca.
I can live with that, where I have to draw the line is when one of their journalists sneers, on Twitter, at a City supporters group based in Barca by asking "What have you ever written?" As if Andy Mitten, who writes like an aspirational, if slightly dim-witted 15 year old hoping for a C in their GCSEs has produced an informative piece that can't be beaten.
The purpose of a preview isn't prose, language and grammar; it's information and to show that kind of attitude to an individual that could have produced an informative piece for City fans that are travelling to the game just shows the contempt it treats part of its readership with.
I will be cancelling all advertising in this paper, and it's sister publications at the first opportunity.

David Boyd spelt differently within the article, City scout Eric Mulliner is called Mullender, Steve Compton the goalie is called Crompton, Andy Thackeray spelt differently on picture to the article. Bone idol neglect for a fine group of Men happy to be remembered in our local paper for a great achievement and The Journo litters it with poor,poor shoddy work probably ignorant to his amateur delivery. please someone tell him we expect better for our 55p and for our hero's.
Just read this - the keepers name is Crompton!

The lousy rag bastards only had us on the front, back and first 4 inside pages after we twatted the top of the league. They put the rag win right slap bang in the middle of the tradesmen for hire section. Fuckin ruined it. And if they think i'm going to shell out another 55p next monday they can think again. Think on M.E.N.

Hello blue moon, this post is not a rant nor to pour scorn or praise just a note to Stuart should he ever look here still.
After your defense on here of your position i was "on your side" so to speak just so you know.
However due to seeing the format of blue v red and seeing the airtime Mr Peter Spencer has had to spout his guff...and it is guff.
I have decided that my choice to not buy the paper is well founded. The reason being partly the above and my desire to simply have fair balanced reportson all issues regarding football journalism.
This may be an unrealistic ideal in modern society but it should not be, i subscribe to the times and but the independent for this reason.
Ian Herbert is someone i now take notice of, not because of brown nosing us but his objective reporting.
If i want an impassioned rant i read forums or blogs. The format you have promotes this petty standard imo.
You in yourself may be fine but after seeing this Peter Spencer all over the place venting his spleen it (for me anyway) compromises the integrity i (maybe naively) automatically give to what seems to be a reputable media outlet.
I know my single sale will not hurt profits and nor is my non purchasing of your publication some kind of protest at any perceived slights i may feel if any.
I am not angry, my only outward reaction was a slight nod to my own wariness after hearing his name for the 4th time.
You seem a sound bloke tbh but yeah this is just my two pence worth on the structure of your (MEN) reporting.
I do admit it is hard to format against the "vs" tone, but Peter Spencer does not help those of you with genuine aspirations of growing in your positions at the MEN.
