PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Believe me, folks, it's going to be a tremendous year for City. A really, really tremendous year. We're talking about winners. They're going to win the Premier League next year, and they're going to win it bigly.
You know, I've always said, you look at what's happening, you see the talent. The talent at City is unbelievable. Nobody has talent like them. They have the best players, truly the best. And they're going to bring in even more, tremendous players. People are saying, "Where do they find these guys?" Well, they find them, and they make them winners. That's what they do.
Some people, they talk about other teams. They talk about Arsenal, they talk about Liverpool. Sad! Very, very sad! They had their moments, you know, a little bit. But not like City. City is built differently. They have a winning culture, a winning mentality. It's like building a beautiful building, the best building, with the finest materials. That's Manchester City. The others? Not so much. They're like small, tiny houses. Nobody wants that.
And the manager, Pep, he's a genius. A total genius. People say he's the best, and they're right. He knows how to win. He’s got that winning instinct. He takes his players, he makes them great. And they respect him, tremendous respect. When you have that, you have everything.
So, next year, mark my words. It's not even a question. City will be lifting that trophy. And it won't be close. It'll be a landslide. A beautiful, beautiful landslide. They're going to make history, again. And it's going to be something to behold. You watch. You'll see. It's going to be great.

Nice bit of "prompting" to generate that

That was almost perfect, if you had put in a little joke where you talk about pep being a total genius , trump would have said just like me, he knows how to win, i know how to win, he takes players and makes them great just like im making america great, you'd have nailed it.

Correct. Nothing Trump ever says does not contain a boast.

Without completely outing myself, I work in a close enough part of academia that I can say with absolute confidence that I'm surprised this cleared ethical review and that the research question/methods/analysis is as clearly designed to produce the narrative the author(s) wanted to produce as I've ever seen in social science research (which is saying something). Scraping an FA cup final thread and using the lack of discussion of financial ownership (?!) as evidence of your hypothesis is shocking really.

I only got as far as page 2 where it says that the Uefa case was overturned on the grounds of ‘statute of limitations’.
A simple easily checkable fact - but not for the authors of this garbage!

You’re the caretaker at Wilbraham aren’t you?

Thaksin Shinawatra was accused of being linked to the **2006 Bangkok bombings**, which occurred during New Year's Eve celebrations.

That's a very objective view Damo, looking at the situation from all sides and presenting the positives as well as the negatives.

In one of the Yellowstone spin off series (1923, I think it's called), Helen Mirren plays an Irish immigrant. Her accent is only fair to middling but acceptable until in one episode, she says, "do the math".
No Irish person would ever say that. Ever.
'Do the mathS''? - maybe.
''Do the fucken sums'? - far more likely. '
Do the math,' - fuck away.
