The media coverage in the build up to Swamp derby was truly appalling and biased. The papers, the BBC, SKY Talkdribble were all slanting their stories to criticise City and laud United. Only Henry Winter of the Torygraph . Laughably Radio 5Live Breakfast had Kit Symons put up as the so-called “City” voice up against Pat Crerand. It was no contest (a case of Patsy v Patrick), not that Symons tried to contest anything. In fact he just stuck the boot into City saying it was not a happy camp. That shows how much one of City’s worst ever captain and (one of the hapless, blundering reasons why we got relegated to the Third Division) knows about Manchester City. It’s no real surprise about the BBC though who have stuck their boot into City much more since Ferguson started talking to them again after his long sulk. If they had really wanted to have good radio they would have had Mike Summerbee up against “Cow Pat” Crerand. Buzzer would not have taken any nonsense from Crerand, that’s for sure. He probably would have had him for breakfast! Another opportunity missed by the BBC who for some reason still repeatedly go to Danny Mills as a “City” voice. I can’t think of many ex-City people other than Mills and Symons who are less in tune with our club. With friends like these…
There is clearly nothing wrong with the spirit at City. It was great to see City players dusting themselves them down after Manure’s stuffy goal and going for the winner. They took no nonsense from United players all night, later berating them for not putting the ball out when Silva was lying injured. It’s great to see our Boys standing up for themselves and showing their disgust at quintessentially poor Manure behaviour (even if the Laws of the game didn’t oblige them to). Barry’s finger wagging at Rio Ferdinand was indeed memorable (see link). Attaboy!
