[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Recent quote from a Grauniad article:
"They [Manchester City] were let off on a technicality by a corruptible body"
Yes Marvin, very idealistic, two lies in one sentence.

Corruptible as in 'everyone has a price' or do they have any actual evidence that they are?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Strange how professional football inequalities are now a problem, but weren't over the last 132 years.

The Football League was founded on inequality.

 

[crazyg]

Any idea why this is news?

State sponsored, eh?

Why aren't the media all over this, I wonder? It's not as if they have a poor Human Rights history like the UAE, is it?


"Rwanda, a small landlocked country in east-central Africa, is trying to recover from the ethnic strife that culminated in government-sponsored genocide in the mid-1990s.
In the genocide, an estimated 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by dominant Hutu forces in 100 days.
But Paul Kagame, who became president in 2000 and has effectively run Rwanda since 1994, faces criticism at home and abroad over his political and human-rights record."

Paul pisspot Merson on Sly Sports spouting off that Liverpool have made the best signing in world football this week by effectively get VVD on a free.
That City only finished 17 pts clear of the dippers cos he was out injured.
He must believe the dippers don't concede when the Dyke plays.
What a bellend.

Merson said regarding the fee that was paid for KDB signing for us in 2015 " I thought it was Lira Jeff" , two points 1.Lira hasn't been a currency since 2002
2.I think he's a prick Jeff

No one has ever dribbled past him (when edited out).

Degenerate Scumbag

Was that the name of the horse he lost all his money on?

 

[SatOnTheWall]

Jack Pitt-Brooke, who was a City blogger before he became a journo, recently wrote that City don't want Kane enough because they're not just handing over a £160m straight fee. His evidence for this is that City were willing to spend £65m on a third choice centre back.

He meant Ruben Dias.

Never heard of him.

Isn't it sad how people lose their principles for a little bit of money or a little bit of fame? Once your principles have gone, all that's left is greed and lies.

Lol thought the horse was called speedball or white rock? ;) He loved the snow apparently.

Tony Adams.

 

[Bald fraud]

Anyone hear any criticism of Chelsea, highest spenders last summer with around £230m splashed and just followed City in spending £100m on a player (give or take a few quid)
No? Me either.

Conclusion - City are seen as more of a threat, and also Pep is a factor. Football fans can't help but knock him

All I heard last season was “Chelsea mean business!”

 

[Bay Area Blue 93]

And yet this summer we have a net spend of only about a third to what the Rags have spent but thats never mentioned

"Don't bother me with the facts, my mind's made up already . . . "

Corruptible as in 'everyone has a price' or do they have any actual evidence that they are?

.CAS have a solid rep of being straight. Suspect the Grauniad forgot it was CAS who cleared us and, incidently, made a strong statement that we were cleared on substantive grounds, i.e. if the two cases in question had been litigated, we would have been cleared.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

The Football League was founded on inequality.

Arose from, was founded on, and has always been defined by,

We didn’t start the fire.

 

[KS55]

Does idealistic imply honesty?

Getting very philosophical (semantics) there. I would say true idealism does imply honesty and lack of integrity shows your idealism to be false and self serving. I am sure Bertrand Russell would agree with me.
