    Aston Villa (H) 03 April 2024

    Am over for this game and looking to take my 14 year-old nephew, who lives in Germany, to his first City game. If anyone has two tickets together that they don't need, we'd be extremely grateful. EDIT - Someone has already very kindly offered to help with this, for which I am, indeed, extremely...

    CFG Expansion | Başakşehir to join? (p70)

    This wasn't the first attempt to move. Apparently, they tried to relocate last year to Hunan Province in central China but were knocked back by the Chinese FA. I presume they had an eye on Changsha, the capital, which has a population of 10 million and a team only in the third tier. They were...

    City announce trial bus scheme for home games

    Looking forward to seeing how the Altrincham service operates. I'll have a brief visit home just after Easter and my 14-year-old German nephew will be there at the same time. He's quite an avid fan of City and I'd love to takle huim to his first game against Villa on April 3. Just womndering...

    RIP Bill Lyons (@Bill, previously @de niro) update re funeral pg 51/JustGiving link p52

    Bill was obviously a forum legend on here. The stories of him helping out large numbers of Blues, including those he didn't know or barely knew and often putting himself our a great deal in the process, are heart-warming. My only contact with him came when I was working in Moscow and he visited...

    WSL - Leicester (H) 4th Feb 2024 13:00

    I didn't hear the commentary, but there's some irony in Abbie McManus commentating on City and sounding like a fan considering that, when she joined the Leigh-based cloggers, she claimed it was a "dream come true" and explaied that she was a lifelong Rag from a family of them. Credit to her if...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    It means that the issue of time-barring is dealt with in accordance with the provisions applicable under English law. Accordingly, the rules relating to the limitation period apply as set out in the Limitation Act 1980. Under those rules, the standard limitation period in a case like this is...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    There's an express provision in the PL's Rules (Rule A.7., IIRC) that the PL's Rules are "governed by and construed in accordance with English law". So, yes, we know.

    Sven Goran Eriksson diagnosed with terminal cancer

    Terrible news. I hope that his last few months will be peaceful and as pain-free as is possible in the circumstances. I was relatively ambivalent towards him when he was managing England, but developed a strong affection for him when he was in charge at our place. Just shows you the difference...

    Media Discussion - 2023/24

    I just recall the likes of the Guardian and Independent reporters exchanging tweets commenting on the response of fans generally to stuff they'd written. I can understand that the general public must reply to them with absolute shite on many occasions, and they'll inevitably comment. Still...

    Media Discussion - 2023/24

    It's the gaslighting that annoys me the most, which is why I chose to link 'cunts' to that aspect. Most of them are mediocre and lack any integrity, so it irritates the fuck out of me when they delusionally lay claim to intellectual superiority and impartiality. I can't remember which of them...

    Media Discussion - 2023/24

    I've seen frequent claims in the media that City are likely to 'get off' because we have the money to hire top lawyers to defend us. It seems not to have occurred to any of these clowns that we might just have had the money to engage top lawyers to ensure we didn't breach the rules in the first...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    You've given a much shorter and pithier explanation than I could. I was three paragraphs in, having started a long and tedious rebuttal but I deleted it when I saw yours. However, I did use the phrase "another ill-considered screed of sesquipedalian bullshit". I'd to ensure that this...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Thanks, Chris. I had in mind that I should get on this thread today to tackle points raised yesterday, but I saw the above earlier on and was happy that you'd given the answers for me. I ended up having a much busier day than previously expected, so was glad of your contribution. As for the...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    I wouldn't normally resurrect a post this far back in a thread, but this is a crucial issue in terms of how the allegations against City will be disposed of. It's important to ensure that the thread correctly states the lagal position because most users of this forum won't have first-hand...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Jesus Christ! Not this again. Though the CAS saved us, UEFA found us guilty of lying, in our audited accounts and various financial submissions to them, about the source of GBP 50 million annually such that we presented it as income that could legitimately be expended under the FFP rules on...

    Hyde Rd Fire Rare Photo

    I agree that Central had a good case. Despite being a new club, they'd certainly accrued better facilities, a bigger support and greater potential than any of the clubs actually elected or re-elected in the period between 1929 and 1932. I can see why United were scared of them, but I also...

    Worst Goalkeeper

    I have two nominees, the first of whom is Margetson. My memory of him is that he occasionally displayed vague vestiges of competence, but when he was bad he was catastrophically so. The game against Everton on the last day of the 1992/93 season, when he had to be subbed for his own good at the...

    Who actually owns City?

    Thaksin originally didn't want to listen to a takeover approach on behalf of Mansour. At the outset, he wanted someone to invest in the club for a minority stake, and there was no interest from Abu Dhabi in that arrangement. It was only when Thaksin started to acknowledge that the British...
