As with everything there's never enough time to get everything across and, although I talked extensively about Meredith, record crowds, Trautmann et al, there was never going to be the opportunity for the producer to get all if that in. It was a rapid progression through City's modern history with me trying to emphasise that it was the period Jan 1979 to Sept 2008 that was out of character for the club, not the modern era, though they couldn't get all of that in. What was reassuring throughout though was that they wanted to ensure City and what makes City special came through. I've done lots of TV work before but this was the first time, apart from the video/DVD I helped edit on City's history at the start of the 2000s, that a company wanted to understand what MCFC was all about.

Anyway, thanks again for the comments.

I thought it was a breath of fresh air, attitude-wise. I think it covered quite a lot in a short space of time and your contribution in particular was very good and helped set the tone.
It's true there were gaps, but maybe that period that you describe as being out of character with our history as a whole, was deemed the most appropriate bit to end up a cutting on the editor 's floor.

If as you say, the idea was to show what City is all about, I think it worked and it is great to see a positive piece about us out there.
I would only hope that it could reach a wider audience than the naturally interested, City fan.

Their lead story is mourinho saying west brom have an unfair advantage because they only had one player out on international duty.

And if that's not enough gold for you- sky then show stats for.... wait for it...

"The fewest goals conceded 2016/2017 in Europe's top five leagues - outside the top four"

In which the rags sit second in the table.


That is going to take some beating sky. Take a fucking bow son.

Actually that's followed by a tribute to zlatan and a shorter tribute to rashford.
Ten minutes altogether

You're our very own Mary Whitehouse aren't you, submitting yourself relentlessly to the horrors of the media.

Imagine how great it would be if the media and the officials became impartial?

Then imagine this place without me.

It's probably not worth it over all ?

Pray tell, who was first!!

Bit like the time under Moyes against some side at home they either lost or drew 0-0 and they managed to big up the stat they had 82 crosses.

Or anytime they play the dippers in "the worlds biggest football match"

That was Fulham. They kept putting crap crosses in, Fulham just hoofed them all away. The media actually didn't fall for it and ripped gollum a new one, but of course, all they were saying was, "look what Moyes has done to the wonderful man u", hence making him a handy scapegoat.

Not 100%, but I seem to remember it being 92 crosses.

You could concentrate on you troll hunting role instead. Another one of those totally necessary jobs that nobody wants to do.

So it was actually 10 more than reported?
They just can't get fair coverage in the media can they?
