Could really do with a favour from Arsenal tomorrow. Either way, I have us coming out on 93 & Liverpool 91.

Simply put, it'll be an attempt driven by the usual's to have clubs owned by people linked to states, whether that be Sheikh Mansour as a UAE royal, PIF @ Newcastle or whoever else outlawed through lobbying an 'independent arbitrator'. How this would ever be practical in reality is beyond me &...

Spot on, & just to caveat with my earlier post today having given it some more thought; I do not believe the media driven crusade to drive our owners out will be successful. It is impossible to see how it could be given the UK's strategic relations with the UAE, of which our owner is a citizen...

I wrote on here the other day about my concern around the atmosphere and clamour for change at Middle-Eastern owned clubs following the sanctions on Abramovich and it’s fall out. I fear our rivals are only being emboldened by what is currently happening, we are now seeing their message being...

So according to Neville, City are state-owned, state-funded & Abu Dhabi should be getting contingencies in place for an independent regulator given what has happened at Chelsea. This narrative is now being spread to a huge audience through Sky because our legal teams/Clubs nicey nice approach...

Thanks mate, my longest is currently 17.1 so looking to break the 20 mark before the big one.

Scott Carson v Sporting

Fantastic all round for us, the fact we shoehorned McManaman in for him, then shipped him off to Portsmouth was the beginning of the end of the Keegan era.

Today was meant to be my 21 miler in preparation for the marathon lads but after 2 long years I have finally succumbed to the dreaded Covid. As such, I got out on a secluded route and did 10.6 miles so I’ve at least got something in the legs, will do another 10 miler in the week once I’ve got...

They might well do, but that’s a good thing. Long may they keep that business model.

Just reading the unpopular City opinions thread and came across a discussion about Sir David Silva & his incredible performance against Hull in the title run-in back in 2013/14. We were down to 10 from early on & David carried us, with that said I’ve remembered some others from the top of my...

In a nutshell they are hoping, without logic, to use the current environment created by the government's sanctions on Abramovich to root out 'state' ownership of City & Newcastle. From what I've read, their geopolitical contributions show why football is their 'speciality'. Miguel Delaney...

I get paranoid on this issue & fear their constant lobbying, given the current climate with Abramovich, could lead somehow to our ownership being targeted. There is no solid information or factual cause for this to happen but it's just a fear I have, as their constant smearing has definitely had...

Delaney now trying to play the geopolitics expert in his latest, a subject he is evidently so clearly out of his depth on. He’s claiming Saudi Arabia & the UAE are moving towards Russian orbit from the West, the very day the UAE announces it is going to produce more crude oil to lower rising...

We play a different sport.

Superb from the Champions.

Admittedly once I started down the path of the UAE’s culture I negated to mention that Sheikh Mansour is our owner, although I did mention his family. The fact is the Al-Nahyan’s govern the UAE using a deeply conservative Islamic Sharia, so I think it’s a safe bet that our ultimate owner who...

Always liked Tebas.

Just left this comment on Sam Lee's piece for The Athletic: Something often missing from Western journalists & commentators passing judgements of the UAE is the actual history of the region. It was the British who put the House of Al-Nahyan on the throne in the UAE in order to guarantee it’s, &...
