City Matters thread

[Corky]

She's obviously as a media student just after a foot on the first rung of the ladder in corporate comms and fairly cynically spotted an opportunity in this CM committee role. I imagine she has her eye on a similar opportunity at Chelsea and ultimately has no actual interest in football whatsoever.
I'm not sure how CM/CSB can be expected to run checks to see how gay/blue someone is and I expect she got the gig based on enthusiasm and perceived expertise due to her main study area at Salford.

The club could check attendance history or any record of buying a membership. They probably wouldn't sell her tickets, but CM rep is different.

I did like Charlie Cooke as a kid!

What about his favourite book?

Coe wouldn’t do it unless there was bunce in it. He’s a grifter. He was on the payroll of Nike while he was head of IAAF.

Exactly why I used him as my athlete. Snakey Seb.

I hope she enjoys her new career once we have fucked her off.

If in her journalistic role she becomes a sport/football journalist she will probably join the rest in slagging us off!! Such is life. ;-) :-)

She'll be as bitter as Danny Mills and as contrary as Didi Hamann and she can get to the back of the queue ;)

City Matters though…what a joke that thing is anyway.

It’s like in school where the teachers give the busybody kids ‘prefect’ badges to shut them up for a bit.

It’s a box ticking exercise, nothing more, and the ‘committee members’ get to feel like they’re somehow more important than other fans.

She’ll do well then.

This is why I'm so nonplussed about the whole episode. As @Tim of the Oak said, there have been some decent people on the CM committee but I've always felt that CM gets used by the club itself to push through controversial things and CM end up getting it in the neck from some fans as a result.

Has anyone written a chant for Fran yet?

Bluehemian Rhapsody

Is this for City?
Is this for Chelsea?
Caught in a landside,
No escape from reality
Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a journo, City or Chelsea,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Navy Blue, shade below,
Any way the game goes doesn't really matter to
Me, to me
Mamaaa,
Just conned the fans,
Put a post on twitter yeah, pulled my post,
Now i'm banned
Mamaaa, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, oooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if Helping City matters
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all
The time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, oooh
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been voted for at all.
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango!
Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me
Ag-uero, Ag-uero
Ag-uero, Ag-uero
Ag-uero, Fernandez - magnificoo
I'm just a journo nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you Let that go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let them go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let them go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let that go) Will not let you go
(Let that go)(Never) Never let you go
(Let that go) (Never) let you go (Let that go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, Let that go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me,
For meee
So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Helping City matters, Anyone can see,
Helping City matters,
Helping City matters to me
Any way the game goes...

Saw a lad get pulled at the Bayern match at the back of SSL1. Don’t know what for. Not going to speculate. Handcuffed. 7 Police officers in riot gear surrounding him, helmets, etc, not wearing them. Numerous stewards also in attendance. 2 women filling in paperwork, looking rather pleased with themselves. The Police then forced the lad into a narrow passage way that leads to the catering bar. Kept him there for quite a while, talking to him, then led him away.

I saw the police rushing around thinking they were dealing with a terrorist incident or something. Pathetic again from gmp
