Why are you using neurodiversity as a pejorative term?

What I was actually trying to say was I'm not sure having a pop at the two blokes in video was constructive but you're right i expressed it in a very ham fisted and poor way, so am more than happy to apologise for that.
 
That's immaterial, the UAE has one foreign policy and that's decided in the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi.

And while the investment group that owns City and the government of the UAE are separate legal entities, they are not separate in the way the Fenway Group is separate from the US government.

He's right about one thing, the UAE has a different view to the west and while I'm sure the UAE would prefer that Ukraine had not been invaded, they do support the world view espoused by Lavrov that underpinned it.

Oh, and the war has increased their global influence and is generating a shed load of extra dosh.
I may be placing too much weight on this, but ever since Abramovich was effectively removed as Chelsea owner, I have felt for the first time since our takeover that our ownership could one day be removed in the same vain.

I understand the clear differences in these two cases/owners, but constant stories of this sort about Russians in the UAE etc, I fear could lead to something bad for us in the long term, should relations between them & the UK/US deteriorate.

I sincerely hope I’m misguided in this view/feeling.
 
Just watching Rangers on bt lovely how the commentators are all behind rangers funny that ..ps well done Rangers...
Never fails to annoy me the amount of ex players of the teams playing BT manage to cram into their panels and commentary teams for European games for other teams. Leicester, WHU, totally partisan groups. When it’s City we seem to have a token player (Jolean last night) and ex rags n scousers. Always seems to be like that to me. Really winds me up.

You needn't worry.

This crisis has made the oil and gas of the Middle East even more important. The USA and the UK are very close friends with the Gulf States and they're even closer now. They do not see eye to eye on everything, but they do see eye to eye on everything that matters.
 
Had the pleasure of the Luton match as well. Been all the way to Brighton and it never crossed my mind we would loose to Luton. Going down is far worse than chumps league defeat.
When I was at Brighton station waiting to go back to Manchester singing City’s staying up I’m with you , it never once popped into my stupid 20 years old head would we be going down the week later. Although I think the relegation in 96 was worse, mind you going down to the third division tops it all.
 
Someone tell me why it's morally wrong to be Russian, rich and move you and your money out of Putins murderous cesspit to Dubai where your lifestyle won't be hamstrung or your wealth dramatically reduced because of western sanctions on the country when you haven't stolen the money from anyone or been put on the sanctions list for reasons of kleptocracy or nepotism.

It's another step in the U.S. take over of the Premier League. When the number of American owners is sufficient they'll move for no relegation so as to get a perennial cash cow without the consequences.
 
Has any team ever had a easier set of fixtures to reach a European cup final as Liverpool have had…
Yes. The team that won it in 1977. They beat the following:

1st round - Crusaders
2nd Round - Trabzonspor
QF - Saint-Étienne
SF - FC Zürich
Final - Borussia Mönchengladbach

I'm sure you don't need me to tell you which team I'm referring to!
 
Wonder what shithouse question slimy Simon Stone is going to ask Pep in tomorrow's presser.

Poisoned little dwarf.
Hi Pep, you’ve been here six seasons, had the biggest squad in the whole wide world with an unlimited transfer budget. You chose not to play John Stones in the second leg nor Cole Palmer. If you don’t qualify for the CL next season, will you send Foden out on loan for more playing time, will you resign from your role and in the style of the greatest manager ever to have existed will you recommend to your state owned club that they appoint Gareth Taylor to be the next manager. If that is the case how would you feel when he wins the one trophy that you have never won by relying on a spine of Roebuck, Greenwood, Stanway and Shaw and reverting to playing with a traditional number nine.
