One year loan will only help cashflow. Premier League clubs would still desperately need this season's TV money even if they did qualify for a BoE loan (most wouldn't).

You must be quite proud that both yourselves and the Rags are the only clubs who qualify for a loan from the BoE, both clubs already in hock to institutions and your mob piling a bit more on top.
 
According to the football show this morning on Sly Sports we should be preparing ourselves for new PL champions by Sunday evening as they reckon playing behind closed doors favours Arsenal at the Etihad (even though the media have informed everybody for the last 10 years we've had no crowd or atmosphere there and haven't done too badly) and that it favours Livarpool at Goodison again after telling us their fans are their 12th man who are vital to them as they roar them on to victory under the famous Klanfield lights! C**nts!

Reading through another thread, the phase ‘a city built on slavery’ made me laugh. As the scousers always enjoy a ‘funny’ banner, I thought that phase would work perfectly for one of ours.

Or, as proud Mancunians, what about ‘Abe Lincoln was a blue’ in commemoration of our forefathers’ support of anti-slavery. ‘I thank the working men of Manchester for their sublime heroism’.

=================================================================================================================================
"Whilst the British government loosely supported Lincoln, many mill and shipping companies wanted the Royal Navy to smash the blockade, allowing the precious cotton back into Europe. In Liverpool, a city made wealthy by cotton imports, it was said that there were more Confederate flags flying along the banks of the Mersey than in Virginia.

With the 'cotton famine' now taking a firm grip even the Manchester Guardian instructed the mill hands that they were better off dropping their support for the embargo. However, at a noisy meeting at the Manchester Free Trade Hall in 1862, in a historic show of solidarity against slavery, the workers agreed to keep supporting Lincoln's embargo.
==================================================================================================================================

...from the Guardian... shame they didn't also mention the fact that it wasn't just incoming cotton that was making the city of liverpool profits (until the Ship Canal usurped the greedy bastards)...it was the fact that, as you stated Mike N, liverpool was a city built on slavery. over 10% of all slaves transported to the 'new world', from all European and North African ports, passed through the grubby, snide port of liverpool.

I see Liverpool have been given carte blanche to send out weakened sides any time they feel like it after the FA dismissed Shrewsbury's complaint following their cup game when even Klopp couldn't be arsed attending. Disgusting.

...we just got hung out to dry by the FA / BBC before a CL game and then got dog's abuse for fielding a weakened team.

Unfortunately you are going to get this shit thrown at you for several weeks. City will beat Arsenal shutting the idiots up for a few hours before they start again with li'pool can win it …..
Same shit different season (sort of )
 
Now funny things happen in sport and life in general nothing is a gimme, so can you imagine the fun if the dippers lost 6 on the bounce and we kept winning :-)
Le Man two years ago the leading car broke down on the last lap, shit does happen.

That brings to mind the Marathon at the 1908 Olympics, I think it was.

If I have this right, the finish line was moved so that it would be right in front of the royal box. An Italian runner, whose name escapes me, was quite a way ahead, and started to wander just as he reached the original finishing point. He was guided by officials to the new line, but was disqualified for receiving assistance, although I believe he later had a special medal awarded to him.

Since then, this has been the official marathon distance.
