Here is an exercise for Bluemoon fact checkers. This is, I believe, the media's view of the recent "spat" between the PL and one of its more successful clubs. How many, if any, deliberate mistakes can you spot?

When the PL was formed the clubs agreed very sensible rules to protect clubs from reckless spending and owners. All clubs agreed to these rules and they contributed immensely to the incredible success of the PL. Unfortunately that success attracted a type of owner, overwhelmingly from the Gulf, who was so fabulously wealthy that he could simply plough in billions to his club and make things so totally uncompetitive that his club could win everything, leaving clubs with much richer histories and traditions empty handed. State owned and financed Gulf owners and clubs have ruined football. One such club, Manchester City, has taken the process a step further and taken the PL to court in an attempt to overthrow the very sensible rules put in place to try and stop them simply buying trophies by spending fantastic sums of money beyond what the other clubs can envisage. Manchester City want an end to all restrictions on spending: the other clubs want financial fair play.

Is this the guy that was for a while quite vocal against 'state backed ownership' and 'sportswashing.'

That was until he then interviewed the PSG owner and then claimed he ran out of time to ask about it all.

****.

I think that was Tariq Panja. Harris is the **** who asked Pep if he had received any illegal payments (like Mancini is alleged to have done) straight after we'd won the FA Cup

There's a Radio 4 panel game called The Unbelievable Truth, where contestants give a lecture which is completely made up of lies apart from five truths they try to smuggle into the story. This is exactly the same, apart from any true bits....

Yes. I can only compare the gravity of the events to those surrounding a family returning from shopping to find that the porridge they had prepared before leaving had been eaten and their armchairs smashed by the predatory villain. A real tearjerker of story
