You don't defeat Robinson with contempt. All over Europe the left has no answer to any of this, in France they've stitched together a rickety coalition to keep them out of power and though here the numbers are much smaller, that march on the weekend was no small affair. Progressives have no...

Chilling? It's the hottest day of the year.

Notwithstanding all the shit, you have to laugh....

We were the only "big six" club to vote for a regulator, so I guess the answer is yes.

What the City did with the Commonwealth games was close to perfection, my favourite was a dog track converted to a hockey stadium. As you say, so many of the facilities are still in use. Manchester doesn't get the credit it deserves.

The 'fabulous' deal for City's home https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c72gy4wnvzpo "Former Manchester City chairman David Bernstein has been talking to the 'We're Not Really Here' podcast on the deal he made to buy Manchester City's stadium. One of the key factors in the deal was he told...

Talk about a puff piece! We all know how this would be reported were it us....

You're being pedantic, the City of Manchester Stadium was designed specifically for conversion to a football stadium. A successful two-stage design approach enabled the stadium to meet its initial requirements as an athletics venue, before adaptation for its permanent use for football. The...

You're right. The total cost of the conversion was in excess of £40 million, with the track, pitch and seating conversion being funded by the city council at a cost of £22 million and the installation of bars, restaurants and corporate entertainment areas throughout the stadium being funded by...

Untwist your knickers. Everyone associated with the club back in the day knows we got a good deal on the stadium, and they're happy to say so. Our stadium cost about £110 million. £77 million of that was paid by Sport England and the rest was paid by Manchester City Council. The Council has...

Yeah. If the world wants it, let's see Inter Miami play FC Nuclear Waste Dump Kazakhstan at their beautiful landfill stadium.

You've got me there :-)

You've got this backwards, Scruffy Jim wants some public/private finance bollocks to build the stadium, he wants the government to pick up the lions share of the tab. Starmer says no, but he won't stand in his way, he'll facilitate Scruffy building and paying for the stadium himself, but only by...

As you say these provisions are specifically aimed at Middle East owners, where anyone of consequence is in some way related to everyone else of consequence. The UAE is a tribal autocracy, where the seven constituent monarchies are led by tribal rulers, the sheikhs get public backing in return...

Not wishing to be pedantic, that would be any company from the UAE, particularly Abu Dhabi. I travelled the Middle East for over 25 years, I supplied hospital equipment, and on the shelf in my office I had, amongst others, two hefty books, The Trading Families of Saudi Arabia and a smaller...

Because of the unique dimensions of the Yankee Stadium field, the playing surface of the soccer pitch is 110 yards (100 m) long by 70 yards (64 m) wide—the smallest field in all of Major League Soccer, and close to the smallest allowed by International Football Association Board guidelines.

They'd sell em Phillips.

Not sure, but I think so.

Some great pics from City fans in New York.... And from Haaland....
