Brilliant, deserves so many kudos points for his refusal to jump on the bandwagon with most of the British sports press. It must have been a lonely and uncomfortable time, sitting in the same room as some of those journalists and he's not even a City fan.
Not even finished reading the full thing yet, I'm just really impressed with how he put this:
I really like his ventriloquism joke.

Soo, sitting here on my back deck here in MA drinking a beautiful West Coast IPA from my blue City glass grilling some pork loin. Looking forward to cracking a nice Merlot later. Listening to Oasis for some reason: "The Masterplan" to be exact.

It really doesn't, I will NEVER click a daily fail link, and I'm sure there are many others, it's got to be the worst of all of the sad shites, even if Samuel is decent.Such a great article deserves the clicks.....also admin wont allow cut and paste articles

Isnt it great knowing that our football club and its heritage are in such safe hands , Mansour,Khaldoon,Soriano are there any better owners or administrators in any club in the world not just football,all sports. ? They have invested heavily in every single aspect of our club and have taken very little , if anything out. Compare that to the Yanks that own the Rags and Dippers , but dont forget we are indebted to Garry Cook for brokering the deal berween Franksinatra and HH Mansour , it has changed our supporters lives forever, we used to dream of 40 points now we enjoy quadruples.

That bit gets me too... Liverpool are already known to have hacked into our scouting network – but even the most cursory of Google serches throws up countless instances of their owners doing the same thing in the US, as well as many doping charges... yet not even a whisper of how dodgy they are.
Then you take United – aren't they registered as a business in the Cayman Islands? They bank there too... isn't that a tax haven? Are they avoiding taxes maybe – or worse? How transparent are their banking/finances when it comes to PL or UEFA scrutiny?
Those in glass houses...
They got to push UEFA as a proxy this time around, the hateful 8 proves their desperation to get their way in that arena, round 2 they would have to step out of the shadows and whilst our chin has already been tested, they have to live in fear of having a glass jaw...

I do worry about the PL investigation.
Everyone's looking for blood.
Absolute bunch of crooked bastards that keep trying to fk us over.
Our chairman and owner has got to be getting sick of this too. I'm sure this isn't what he expected when he thought he'd invest in a football club.
We just need some stability so people can enjoy the success a bit instead of constantly looking over our shoulder. Jesus, all because someone invested in the club.
I'd forgotten about it as it's been going 18 months. No doubt they were waiting to see the CAS verdict before reporting. It's only human nature to think twice after CAS find in your favour. I don't know what the PL procedure is or if they use CAS. The last time the PL came down hard on a PL club was a £30 mill fine for West Ham re third party ownership which is the third thing they are looking at us for now I mention it. By all accounts we are co-operating with the PL but if we are found innocent again we've got to start saying next time try having some evidence rather than being told to investigate by clubs who are our rivals.

Spot on. It's felt like walking around with a heavy weight on our shoulders for two years while knowing we're innocent. Khaldoon - what a guy to have running the show.Been one of the best days ever as a blue today.
The craic on here had been immense as well.
Off to bed now to dream about the next phase, free of all the UEFA bullshit.
CTID.
No thanks.
If you don't like the media's coverage of City then you should support good articles on City as clicks are the only metric that's going to push an editorial position. Sanuel and Jack Gaughan consistently cover the club well.
