That's not a credible news source. It's supported by a political think tank in Washington which has its own agenda. It's a propaganda tool. You need to be highly sceptical of these sort of organisations.

Foden is one of the fastest players at the club. Apparently faster than Kyle Walker. Keown makes a fool of himself everytime he opens his mouth.

The worst rag on the market by a long shot even worse than the Mirror and Guardian

I'm sure Ian Darke didn't have a clue who any of our players were

Now this doesn’t look good about the UAE
Pentagon Says UAE Possibly Funding Russia’s Shadowy Mercenaries in Libya
The Defense Department’s inspector general report comes just as Trump aims to sell the UAE billions of dollars’ worth of arms.foreignpolicy.com
Surprised it isnt Standard Charter they have the market cornered in financing terrorists/wars and they have the multi million pound/dollar fines to prove it

Great example of this yesterday. Carole Cadwalladr, the Guardian journalist who rocketed to fame on the back of the Cambridge Analytica story, was publicising her podcast about online trolling.
Her guest was a man called Marc Owen Jones, who is a journalist who moved into academia. He's currently Assistant Professor of Middle East Studies at Hamid bin Khalifa University in Qatar, where he holds himself out as an expert in propaganda and misinformation. Naturally, he focuses on misinformation put out by the UAE (which Qatar never does of course).
Now Jones, an self-proclaimed expert on trolling, was among the worst trolls attacking @City_rabin, claiming he was a bot/shill/paid propagandist for the UAE. Rabin and I both pointed this out to Cadwalladr and I offered to talk to her about our experience of trolling. Jones then jumped in, repeating his baseless lies, like Trump about the election. He was asked for proof of this and, like Donny T, could offer none. So Cadwalladr is hosting a podcast on trolling and using someone she could patently see was a troll to talk about his work uncovering trolls. Who all, coincidentally, are either sympathetic to the UAE or he claims emanate from the UAE.
The Guardian of course first gave a platform to McGeehan, who was then an ordinary citizen, about how the UAE was hell on earth, deeply repressive, with venal rulers, yet Qatar was very much moving in the right direction when the reality was there was little to choose between the two.
The Guardian, true to its liberal credentials, supports the #MeToo movement yet employs those known sex pests Nakrani & Glendenning. The Guardian regularly criticies Putin & press freedom in Russia yet sent a load of journalists to the World Cup, one even writing a book about it, saying how great it was and what a good chap Putin was.
The Guardian where Comment is free but hypocrisy is sacred.

I had talk sport on after West Ham win over Villa. At the 10pm news it said West Ham gone above City and Everton into 5th spot. No mention of going above the rags.....
