PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[burning blue soul]

You're asking the wrong question though mate. It's not why does racing get a free pass, but why is football being singled out.

You must then look at the demographic of the people who are involved in the two sports.

It’s the arrogance/small mindedness of the white western world.
They assume the leading powers in the middle east crave their approval. They simply don’t.
I watched a documentary on one of the Saudi Princes and he was asked about LIV, the football and boxing. He said it was for his people. He was doing it for his people and to show them that Saudi can attract the best of anything. I assume it’s for many reasons, but i’d suspect it’s for national moral, a demonstration that anything can be achieved and a demonstration of an admiration of his people.

After all the UAE or Saudi don’t need any help attracting business, so what or why do we the west assume they want our approval.

They use the term sport washing to influence peoples opinions here, and it obviously works.

Apparently the case has totally collapsed as our lawyers are too embarrassed to go back into court after not being able to answer questions yesterday re our non cooperation with the prem league. It's over everyone, guilty as charged

Well it was good whilst it lasted. #goingdowntotheconference

I don't do Twitter. But from the snippets I get on here Arsenal fans seem more obsessed than any other club on this, despite being uncompetitive and having nothing at stake if we are found guilty. Weird bunch.

I think they might actually be worse than the Scousers. At least those cunts win stuff.

I heard that Lord Pannick is shite at Rock,paper,scissors.

Ffs. My brain has been friend from a new job training so for a second I read that twitter post as fact and not some aimless bum on twitter haha

Liverpool and United fans are far too self involved. They make everything about themselves and that's all they care about

Arsenal have always been the no2 club, so they have this weird combination of a massive inferiority and superiority complex, which manifests in them having the most obsessively weird fans on social media

Is this a reason to worry.
Or is it bullshit

They’re trying to create a rivalry cos no one gives a shit about them.

Sounds completely legit.

I'd bet on bullshit.

Of course it’s bullshit. It’s the writer’s wet dream.

He will have got loads of clicks though from idiots believing it.

What a World we live in.

Can you imagine a scenario whare Kaldoon goes on record with the statement of "Irrefutable evidence" Where Pep says he would leave if lied to, Where we embark on building a hotel and stadium expansion.

And then the case comes around and we say "no defence".

It's all bollocks.

 

[Oldham Exile]

Cringey as fuck! hahaha

What fucking madness was that shit???

Surely not meant to be serious or entertaining??

Why does flat horse racing get a free pass?
At the top level it is totally reliant on Arab money. They plough billions into it. The whole of the Goodwood Festival is sponsored by QIPCO who cough up £8m in prize money over just five days of racing. Never a peep or a squeak from the media about it. Never. Not so long ago the big snake Sheikh from Saudi was in the royal carriage with the queen at Ascot. If there is a sport that is ‘sports washing’ then it’s horse racing.

Not heard much in the media regarding the the Saudi national anthem being sang at Wembley with two British Boxers involved.

A minute passed. Then another. Then another minute.

Then ....... another minute passed. Then another minute, passed. Then another.

Another minute passed quickly, followed by a further minute, when, suddenly ....... a different minute passed. Followed by another different minute. And another. And yet a further different minute.

After a minute, a further different minute passed quickly past.

A minute passed. I glanced at my watch. It was a minute past.

This was it!

A minute passed. After a moment, another minute passed.

I waited a minute while a minute passed quickly past. After a minute, a minute that seemed to last an hour but was, in fact, only a minute, passed.

Why did you go and watch united then?

Never has a sport made such effort to keep outsiders from coming in.

'Jobs for the boys' all over the place, and no one willing to lose their gig by calling out allsorts of issues within the sport.

Rotten to the core, and I'm a huge follower of the sport.
