Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I restarted my Purely Man City blog today.
The first story takes a detailed look at Mario Balotelli's press coverage, and explores how stories are created. I've included some of my own experiences working on a tabloid (with names removed for legal reasons) and plan to write a lot more on the subject in the coming weeks.

thanks for letting us know.
Can you also tell me if I've got any voicemails?
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

Thanks for the kind words.
I'm probably going to write a media-related story every few weeks. I've already written one about how the infamous "Achtung! Surrender" front page came about in the 90s. There's no real City connection there but I think it's a tale worth telling.

Used to like that site, glad it's back.
If I'm not mistaken I think I found that site before I found this one, back in the days when I used to just read things & not swear at anybody except in person.
