You can even take the football rivalry out of it... Even as a local paper, it's absolute shite!
Full of articles nothing to do with Manchester or the surrounding areas. Even the "compo face" articles are from far and wide these days... Or watch this 15 second video clip, with a minute long advert before it... No thanks!!
I do feel a bit sorry for the one man/woman band journalists who get shipped out to whatever breaking news incident happens and they have to manage the video (own phone) reports and social media updates themselves but I suppose they will look at it as a "start" in the industry.

Like others have said, their index shows them lot before us which is incorrect in both terms of alphabeticalness and league position for over a decade.
So they can fuck off.

20 + years ago MEN was fine, i thought it was pretty equal but not now, it’s a sham.

Owned by Reachround plc.As a resident of Bournemouth, I don’t tend to follow the MEN, but after the last couple of weeks I was somewhat shocked how anti-City the local rag is these days. They seem to be so biased towards the Salford team. Do they really seem to want to alienate a huge proportion of their potential readers? Mods might wish to transfer this to the media thread, but I think this deserves a discussion of it’s own.
They've been shitcunts for years.

you got away with murder with your subtle replies in the comments of the rag section.True. The bias goes all the way back to the 60s from what I've heard. I remember those comments pages and all the rags saying we'd never overtake them. Daft cunts they're a fucking embarrassment now and should drop Manchester from their name. Cunts.
it was genius...
simply quote/reply to some longwinded rag comment,
change the odd word or two here and there within it,
(calling them cunts and whatnot)
none of the mods re-read the original quote,
then you'd post summat like "totally agree".
top berting of the highest order, bert.
Very very rare that I click on any link taking me to their site.
The quality of reporting is shite, and the site is barely usable due to the volume of ads.
And thats before I get to how biased they are. It's nothing but clickbait these days.

you say that,Stuart Brennan was always worth reading too. He always told it straight.
but the fact that they employed him,
a self-confessed rag supporter,
to write articles about city says it all.
