I remember the case of an athlete who was banned for using a diuretic. Apparently, it's not the diuretic that's the issue, it's that diuretics are used to flush the body of illegal substances which is why it's such an issue.

Good point to bring out. I knew that but hadn't raised It as the issue in my post ( as to why diuretics result in a ban).

Very, very true.

Also, City were the lovable losers who people loved to pat on the head in a patronising way. But when our fortunes were transformed overnight, that lovable tag turned to pure hatred.

However, a very wise business associate of mine said to me many years ago that he measures his success by the amount of enemies he's collected along the way. He told me the time to start worrying is when people stop bitching about you, as that indicates you're no longer a threat....

It just gets even weirder the deeper go on this one, always makes me laugh when it gets brought up.

Arsenal, some of the biggest whingers out there, are sponsored by Emirates. A company which only exists because of the existence of the owners oil money. Same goes for Madrid.

Barcelona is possibly the funniest, whining about Qatar when not too long ago it said 'Qatar Foundation' in big yellow letters on their shirts. Oil money wasn't a problem then eh?

At the end of the day, oil is the most valuable natural resource in the world, and football clubs are the most expensive toys in the world, is it any theres a link between the two? If Bill Gates bought Sheffield, would people constantly be banging on about computer money? I try to keep up with the NFL, but I've never heard anyone criticizing the Cowboys or the Chiefs because of their oil money! Could it be because they're owned by white men? Granted it might also be because they're a bit crap.
