Perfect mate, absolutely perfect.

Well, apart from the bit on my way back where this stunning looking woman off the tram simply looked at me (I can't read facial expressions unless it's a full on smile really, and you know I can't turn my brain off at the best of times), so in a too-many-extra-questions-for-my-brain-to-answer sensory overload thing, I threw my return ticket away instead of my outbound ticket, whilst probably pulling some weird overly confused mad pained facial expression :)

Total idiot me :)

You need to get yourself a cape mate. ;)

How many times does it take for "thanks" to become a boring word to hear?

What about when a goal was scored against the rags? :)

Fucking hell mate, I'm 5'7" (in heels:) and weight less than 10 stone, I'm brave not fucking stupid!

I certainly didn't openly get us targeted. Probably did a cheeky excited face to whichever mate was stupid enough to look at me, or said something like "Ah, it's only football" in a stage whisper with as straight a face as I could manage.

It wouldn't surprise me. Matriarchal figures have a rich history of respect in Bedouin and specifically the Bani Yas tribal cultures.
What I referred to earlier as the almost religious devotion that the Bani Fatima have towards each other was based on a probable legend. It tells of Sheikh Zayed (not the founder but his grandfather (or perhaps his great grandfather or perhaps nobody and its an attempt to associate his name with the myth)) and his brothers who were at war with each other to establish themselves as the tribal leader. There's some twists and turns in the story but long story short, the brothers only agree to stop fighting once their mother intervenes and says she will scorch the entire Earth if one drop of blood was spilled in inter family conflict. Thus the brothers reunited and everything was great and better and all lived happily ever after. This is retold to every generation from birth and they swear loyalty to their tribal brothers above all else.

The fact that Sheikh Zayed overthrew his brother (or rather the British did and installed him at his request) to become tribal leader is airbrushed.

It might sound like just a story to us but the UAE is a country that was still full of wandering tribes when Mike Summerbee was playing for City. Their culture is distinct and as a nomadic wandering tribal people, oral tradition and storytelling is a central part of their culture. Folk lore, religion, supernatural stuff, mythology and history told in a sitting circle have a deep seated importance to their lives still today.

This is what I meant when I said in an earlier post that the CIA must think "these people are nuts and some power and loyalty structures are based on something that happened one day in the desert 300 years ago about a falcon". This is actually true and references a specific event about a falcon leading some people to water when they got lost in a desert and one of the tribes spared their lives and allowed them to drink.

A player from City's women's team said that when the team was at a training camp in AD, the "Mother of the Nation" came to visit. She told them that one day, one of her sons came home and asked if he could buy an English football club. She said okay, but on one condition – that there must be a women's team with the same resources as the men’s.
 
If it's next week then could be a great boost before the derby. I remain very confident.

I do have to laugh at such a situation where rags will declare us guilty of financial irregularities without really bothering to check the details on any level, whilst simultaneously bemoaning that their own club has been bled dry, hamstrung in remaining competitive by their own owners' greed, and is massively in debt. But yeah, we paid Mancini out of the brew money, according to a unique collage of rumours, and that's why we won the league and you didn't.

Now let's concentrate on winning that FA Cup. If it goes to extra time then can you just imagine... 115th minute, penalty to city... conspiracy!

One of my best mates from maths uni is a season ticket holder too.

Been to PNE v Blackpool a few times in the Tony Ellis years, crazy funny days out.


Even at return ticket + extra single ticket price from Piccadilly today was worth it mate :)

He’s saying that all the people who have judged city and the 115 case may have egg on their faces (or latte).

The bigger question is if big Rodney is connected, or not,

I suppose he could be in touch with Summerbee. That’s not to say Buzzer has the full inside track but he might be getting snippets.
