These are the pricks who was so cocky as they swept everything up that they sung they do what they want.
They can't match us on or off the pitch so bang goes them having any normal conversation or neutral ground to stand on so what is their go to phrase they've all adopted?
We've cheated the system. Lol. Isn't it so immature.

And I tell you why they have that outlook. It's a generational and social media thing. I played my son at table tennis ages ago. Me, I'm 50, overweight and have bad knees. My lad is young, energetic, and has that sporty streak in him. I had him dancing all around the table, and you know what his first words to me was?

I'm cheating. I'm fuckin cheating. I was literally stood still like a fat wobbling jelly but putting shots away like a pro and he couldn't hack it. So out comes the cheat phrase.
Pretty much like all the pricks on social media. They got their fingers in their ears and call us cheats. They don't know anything else.


(Well, that's my take on proceedings anyway)

He's put a screenshot of an email from Simon Pearce at the top indicating this is part of his "new evidence" - that email has been freely available to download from this der Spiegel article since 07/04/22.

Manchester City's Cozy Ties to Abu Dhabi: Sponsorship Money – Paid for by the State

Since the sanctions imposed on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, links between English football clubs and authoritarian states have been in the spotlight. Internal documents show that Manchester City has received funding from a government agency in Abu Dhabi.

It's quite possible he is just bullshitting and all he is showing behind his paywall is just various emails from this article. There are about six pdfs containing multiple emails you can download.

Most people haven't downloaded and read them. I have, and I can assure you all, unless you are thick as pigshit, the emails der Spiegel share as damning evidence are nothing of the sort.

Luckily for me, I do understand how businesses work and what is normal practice. If you've never run a business, you could easily be deceived by them. The der Spiegel emails including this one do not indicate the sort of wrongdoing that der Spiegel suggests.

Mate. I always appreciate your take on things, and your blogs, backed up by your business knowledge.

I'll say it again but why on god's green earth are we even including this attention seeking **** Harris in any of our business?

Why aren't you blocking him on twitter? Why are you giving the goggle eyed freak air time? Is there absolutely anybody out there who seriously believes this city hating twat has managed to get his hands on any private or important documents to do with the 115?

He is an oxygen thief, a racist, a city hating patsy who is having his pants pulled down by everyone in cahoots with him.

When we are found innocent what will he talk about (that people will be interested in?)

It really isn’t a criminal enterprise mate, it’s a more secure way to access the internet, although you can indeed source various types of criminality on the dark web

Imo, everyone should be using Tor, a dark web browser, along with a vpn for browsing the normal internet as it’s far more secure than the likes of Google

My understanding is that everything you do in Tor is essentially encrypted, so it gives you an added layer of security (hence why it’s popular with the criminal underworld)

That’s my basic understanding of it anyway & if I’m correct, I’ve got no idea why this isn’t advertised as a secure way to access the internet (possibly because data is king & Tor would put a stop to data collection??)

Ps I don’t use it myself as I cba trying to figure it out, but have mates who do

You’re absolutely caning the darkweb all day aren’t you?

I was only joking originally but we’ve completely lost the plot on the pitch about half way through this hearing…

Hasn’t City’s stance on this all along that the emails are taken out of context? Out of millions of emails, I’d say it’s very easy to manipulate certain context in those emails and spin it as corruption.

City's stance is firstly that they didn't do anything that is alleged, secondly that the evidence provided by the PL is presented out of context and lastly that they have irrefutable evidence to counter the allegations anyway.

The stance of every sane analyst who knows what they are talking about is that the standard of proof required for the PL to prove the allegations is so high that it will be nearly impossible to reach it, even if the club did what was alleged.

The stance of every psychotic analyst who only knows what they want to happen is that the der Spiegel leaks are clearly the definitive evidence that the allegations will be proven.

It's been this way since February last year and nothing has changed. I know which way I am leaning.
