Unfortunately I think if we tried to kick our own arse we'd fall over at the moment.

City are back!
:)

Is Jamie Pollock available to start Sunday?

 

[BerkshireBlue]

I get the sentiment, but the bill has no such definition. It is a proposed amendment which hasn't yet progressed.

How did you come to that conclusion when the amendment states the below

"A state-controlled club is one which is wholly or majority-owned by individual(s), entities, or entities controlled by individual(s) who are deemed by the IFR or the secretary of state to be under the influence of any state actor, including but not limited to: members of any government or their immediate family, a head of state or their immediate family, diplomats, lobbyists, or other state representatives, or their immediate family, and sovereign wealth funds."

 

[Damocles]

Unfortunately the definition the bill is putting in place is any member of a ruling government is classed as State Owned. Sheikh Monsieur falls under this category. Make no mistake this is designed to ruin the club

Not to go all realpolitik here, but if you think the British Government is going to pass a Bill that directly targets a member of the UAE Government and ruling family of Abu Dhabi then I've got a bridge to sell you. The UAE is an extremely important ally geopolitically, with them being sat in the centre of the China/Russia/US business interests and courting all of them equally, as well as a key balancing force in the region that is dominated by the Saudi/Iran/Israel conflicts. As a former British protectorate with big links here, and a sovereign wealth fund that focuses on international investments and global trade, the British Government is bending over backwards to become as close to them as possible. As I say, if people think Scruffy Jim and the red cartel gang are going to outpower the billions of investment and diplomacy that is happening there, then I don't really know what to tell you

"City have only won at Anfield when there was no crowd."

"Liverpool will win the title on Sunday"

Twatterface trying to stir about "deep seated issues inside the club" with no balls to back up his bullshit.

This kind of stuff makes our players show up and kick arse.

and the last time the scousers won the prem title there was no one there to see it....did it really happen

What is twatterface's problem with City? He was cheering when he thought City's last minute goal at Wolves was ruled out, dickhead. Last night his commentary at the swamp was so fawning it was nauseous.

Last time I looked they did exactly that by banning the sale of the Telegraph to SM. So they already have form for doing it

 

[BlueRockape]

He can just sell it to mate for a quid

 

[Rochdale Blue]

I thought nobody posted on Twitter (X) anymore and they'd all moved over to the safe space?

He's definitely had his needle removed. Apparently he also does articles on gridiron, I bet they're riveting.

Is that a term for that fake rugby mate?

Unfortunately for him, he will only ever be remembered for one thing .... well two, actually.

I know what the proposed amendment says. I posted it first.

But the bill as discussed in the Lords didn't have this amendment in it and so far it hasn't even been discussed as an amendment.

So to say the bill includes that definition, as you did, is wrong. It may eventually, but it probably won't.

he was rejected for city square presenters job by the other knob the Southampton fan who's name escapes me ( Hugh Ferris )

Think you’ve answered your own question there, my friend.

Especially when Mansour calls Starmer to remind him who bailed Barclays out and any future investment in the country could be in jeopardy.

It seems to me that if you describe yourself as a journalist you're then issued with a immunity pass when it comes to writing lies, misinformation and thinly veiled racist comments.

Thing is, he more or less implies we recently invented parades and statues to glorify AD. Over a million people turned out in Manchester over 100 years ago to see City parade the FA Cup, not all were City fans but wanted to see the actual trophy in the flesh, so to speak. And just because Utd fans can't be bothered travelling up from London mid week, doesn't mean we shouldn't. Also .... statues ... that's just a ridiculous statement.
And as for celebrating Rods Balon D'or, it's the first time in a long time that a player representing the so called best league in the world has picked up the award (let alone all the other justifications ). If he doesn't appreciate the significance of that, then football isn't for him, but then we knew that a few years ago.

Apart from being a knobhead and loser( Natalie says hi ), he is just a shill / media whore who relies upon attacks on City for his upkeep ( the word earnings deliberately avoided )

Everything about it is fake, like his career. I've just seen a youtube clip of thousands watching and going wild as some college egg kicker won 100,000 dollars for converting a kick directly in front of the sticks. Twenty seconds of life I will never get back.

there's 300 admendments to the bill that need voting for before passing the bill. That's part and parcel of how governments work. The bill currently written isn't the bill that will get passed it will go through various edits before being finalised and pushed through. If this one amendment gets in it has the potential to destroy City and Newcastle. It should be taken far more seriously than the 115 charges.
