PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[bitterfuse]

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.

Brilliant point. Godolphin has been investing serious cash into its Newmarket stable since 1992 but the term "sportswashing" only seems to have entered the vocabulary post 2009. I wonder why that is?

If Abu Dhabi were using City for sports washing then it’s been an absolute disaster as before City who had really heard of Abu Dhabi?

Is this a reason to worry.

You’re on ignore for asking this.

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.

That first sentence..very simple but very well worded.

One tweet from a deluded Tarquin and some people are panicking and believing this shit. It's like their taking part in a Chinese fire drill with the confusion and chaos that a tweet like that would cause.

Take a deep breath chaps, it's just another sad wind up to get you at it.

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.

Stonesy absolutely bodied them. In their minds, they were sailing past Watford services with three points and the League in the bag when JS scored. It is another scar in their psyche and hence weeks of boiled piss.

Remember it was always the queen's horses. Never UK state owned horses.

Nothing will be leaked to anybody during the case, no matter where the lawyers football affinities lie. The thick gooners will have knocked one out about it though, lol

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

As well as the delight they’ve taken in Rodri’s injury, they were taking the piss out of Haaland when his mate died and wishing Gündoğan’s unborn child dies recently.

They say it’s justified because we’re xenophobic for taking the piss out of Arteta for using Just For Men and because we’re racist towards Saka because we take the piss out of him for limping every game.

Their fanbase is fucking demented.

Slightly disturbing that you can’t tell it’s completely made up.

Before 2008, the last time I’d ever thought about the UAE was when they competed in the 1990 World Cup and I completed their team in the sticker album.

I knew more about Samoa as a country than UAE before our takeover.

He’s friends with Jackie Chan

Aye, thought it was us that was 'rattled'!!!

Can’t remember if it was Naked Video or Absolutely that had the sketch OHBC News every week.
The News Reader used to get angrier and angrier every week at English entitlement.
One that has always stuck in my mind was when he totally lost it and claimed that Britain won the World Cup in 1966!
Funny as fuck.
Yep, Britain has a peculiar singular way of apportioning it’s descriptive nouns.

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

It’s very unlikely to even work that way we have seen all there evidence and they have seen ours and we both seemed to have agreed on a 10 week hearing.

The chances are is this is due to both parties putting up substantial arguments.

Like the “substantial” one UEFA used at CAS

Are people taking the piss? Is this real? Of course it is. So is the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Santa, the Boogeyman (No scratch that. KC from the Sunshine Band is actually real.) Be very concerned lest the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk will come for you...
