Seems the bbc have stopped updating the Prem table 'live'...strange that or maybe not (cough 5th cough)

Strangely Flashscore did not update the table for quite awhile after Arsenal scored. Very unusual for them.

Delaney on 5 live now pushing the agenda that Chelsea issues now are a great opportunity to reset football club ownership in general.

oh how surprising….

Did he expand on this with how, as an example Arsenal supporters will raise the £1.5b to purchase the club from its current shareholders?

PS The UAE hardly ever executes anybody.

There was a massacre last week when state owned City killed the rags

In my response to @ctwrd on workers rights, I perhaps should have added that activists in the West have turned their attention to women and gays. It has to be said that UAE is a long way behind us in such matters. Worth noting that the gov are not unfettered masters here, as religious conservatives would cause trouble if changes were mooted. A whole subject in its own right.

“Gays” or gay people?

It’s a difficult subject as it’s basically Christian’s poo pooing another religion.

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

Because it's fuck all to do with any genuine human rights crusade (apt), and everything to do with the likes of utd, arse and liverpool owners and fans not liking competition, on or off the pitch.

I cant remember where I read it, but the best comment I've seen on this topic called out the sincerity of concerns about human rights issues in foreign countries, when those concerns are only brought up in relation to football.

Robbie Fowler having a dig in Daily Mirror, totally pissed off, his own club aren't squeaky clean, covid dodgers, money laundering sponsors, thieving databases from City [emoji170]

Yes, they would not take kindly to being lectured at by white westerners. Mansour's club of course has a women's team and an official gay etc supporters club.
Gays/ gay ppl? No diff.

I've just read his nonsense. I won't hold my breath waiting for the article where he demands that Liverpool return the Standard Chartered sponsorship money, given their fine for facilitating money laundering as you've mentioned.

A friend of mine’s son is gay and went to live in UAE about a year ago- he’s having the time of his life! He was actually the the victim of a homophobic attack in Liverpool a few weeks before he left.

Man City, Newcastle fans ignore inconvenient truth about owners like Chelsea did

The supporters of Manchester City and Newcastle United are happy to ignore what is going on at their clubs just like Chelsea fans did with the source of Roman Abramovich's money.

www.mirror.co.uk

"It’s an inconvenient truth, and the club’s supporters have long known it, but it has suited them to ignore it, just as Newcastle fans, Manchester City fans, Paris Saint-Germain fans, and fans the world over ignore the fact their clubs are owned by Oligarchs, states with human rights questions, or vulture capitalists."

Yes, vulture capitalists are exactly what FSG, and may other US owners of PL clubs are, but no mention of them by name. Twat

Says the man whose salary is paid by a man described as a security threat, close to Putin, and a Saudi. I think there's a great opportunity to reset media ownership.

Wonder if all these journos/pundits feel strongly about human rights in all aspects of their lives or is it just when it comes to football…

A friend of mine’s son is gay and went to live in UAE about a year ago- he’s having the time of his life! He was actually the the victim of a homophobic attack in Liverpool a few weeks before he left.

I visited Abu Dhabi around 10 years ago and found that women in particular had no issues with getting on with a modern life. There was no issues if they wanted to dress in a western style etc, normal freedoms. Staff I spoke to were happy in their work and police were very helpful.

 

[blueju]

Did he go into specific details of how this reset would be achieved or was he just issuing soundbites ? Does he want us to go back to the local scrap metal dealer owning their local club ? Is it back to the days of Swales, Ken Bates, Louis Edwards etc that he advocates ?

No just pre Abu Dhabi I’d suspect.

My eldest daughter has been to both Dubai and Abu Dhabi a number of times, both on holiday and to the Yas Marina racetrack when she worked for Bentley motorsport. Like yourself, she had a great time - including driving most of the works teams' sports cars (supercars) round the track! She also met our chairman there.
A different world to her dad.

That would have been a Chelsea fan.

Here we go again and again.

More PR United bullsh*t.

Starlets replaces Wonder Kids.

Not mention of all the other United youth teams that were beaten comfortably by the City youth teams.
