Rant incoming, I'm sure, but I absolute despise the football journalism in England. They're turning the game into a soap opera, like they've done with the national team for years. Every question at every press conference is an emotive one. It's rare you'll ever hear anything about tactics. How do you feel about x? what do you have to say about y? Do you have a response to z about their comments? It's rubbish. There's always someone one game away from a crisis. Klopp, Conte, Wenger and now Poch have all had one this year.

And I know we City fans get tarnished with the same paranoia brush, and it's easy to dismiss us as conspiracy theorists in our tinfoil hats, but the media generally are so biased towards United. Whether that's their own personal bias, or if they're pandering to the masses, I have no idea.

I can excuse muppets like Luckhurst, he's a United writer. But James Ducker is supposed to be the northern football correspondent for The Telegraph, mainly covering both Manchester clubs, he says so himself in his Twitter bio. Yesterday he wrote an article titled "Pep Guardiola must be punished for Nathan Redmond rant - anything else sends out a terrible message". Which, fine, it's idiotic in itself, but without context he's entitled to his (dreadful, reactionary) opinion. But as the correspondent for the Manchester football clubs, how can you not write anything about the Lukaku incident? Literally nothing. Not even in his match report of the United/Brighton game.

Others are the same, Oliver Kay for example, didn't even put out as much as a tweet about the Lukaku incident as the Chief Football Correspondent from The Times, but he was all over the Pep incident prior to Redmond's statement, despite covering the Liverpool game which was on at the same time.

In other countries, like in Spain, you know Marca is a Madrid publication. But in England our journalism is supposed to have some sort of integrity and impartiality about it. It's just constant witch hunts and trying to trip people up. And that's not exclusive to sport either. And it doesn't exclude United when it suits them. LvG and Moyes were both chased out of town. LvG in particular got some dreadful treatment because he wasn't well liked by the United masses.
