I wonder how many of the journalistic corps(e) will avail themselve of the complimentary hospitality on offer at the Etihad prior to next week's match, or will they all boycott it to keep their integrity intact?.

Stadium from the UAE, shirt from the UAE and Rwanda. Not a word said.

Yep it’s in all the City section of the online papers but nothing in the Arsenal sections. No boycott of sponsors or anything.

I presume the FA will cancel it’s sponsorship of the FA Cup with Emirates? Presume all English fans will boycott FA Cup games?

"If so, the season ticket holders of Premier League teams with links to the Middle East could become players rather than pawns in the game of global influence. Can they, from the terraces and through social media, pioneer a new form of inverted sports-washing?"

Next time they go on about empty seats, we can say we're boycotting as part of our protest against "sportswashing", along with a mass walk-out 10 minutes from the end of the game.

As you were typing the above I was typing an email to the Telegraphs Sam Wallace, Chief Sports reporter and author of an attack on the club ANDFANS yesterday, I know it wont do any good but it was that or watch X Factor. Here is what i put............

Sam,

I read your article in Saturdays Telegraph and it made me think, will you be attending next Saurdays home game at Manchester Citys Etihad Stadium?
If you are not going will any other Telegraph reporter ?
If so will you be availing yourself of the free drinks and food that is available to the media or would that be against your high moral standards

That was the thing, I thought if I hit him with what about the world cup etc he will just ignore me or come back with some smart answer so i just thought i would ask a simple question. I was going to put 'Will you be on a freebie filling your fat face with food paid for by dirty Arab oil money' but i re-thought. :-)
If he engages I will then ask about world cups, Arsenal/Rwanda Chelsea/Commies etc etc .

They’ll be there lapping it up. Not one will say no. Personally I’d wait until the Liverpool home game and revoke their passes.....except the likes of Martin Samuel. It won’t happen obviously.

The readers comments weren't enabled for the West Ham match report in the Guardian this weekend which is the first time I can recall.

Perhaps they're making a stand against the football lads human rights movement who have inundated them recently.

I noticed that too. I think it's the other way round, Shirl; they're protecting their roaches there, like that slime-bag Barney Ronay, the turncoat Conn et al. from the just ire of City posters fed up with the agenda there.

I don't think it was anything other than a technical issue they couldn't be bothered to sort out but we'll see after the Lyon game. I read the report and was trying to submit a comment but they were stuck 'loading'. If comments arent aren't enabled on any piece the comments box wouldn't show. I and other Blues made them aware of the issue by posting in the Rags game comments but these were deleted - standard practice for the over-zealous Guardian mods.

This.....

"Others constructed convoluted, moral-relativist hypotheses designed to at least get them through the week"

Is particularly galling, the Guardian has used one high profile case and one high profile investment Manchester City, to construct a case for what, precisely?

To advance the case for ethical investment? To encourage us to use our purchasing power to bring about political change? Kind of, but not really. This is typical Guardian third way thinking, existing power structures remain intact, but by a drip, drip process of nudging public opinion, re-defining what is and what is not acceptable, slowly public opinion will shift and by osmosis the behaviour of governments and corporations change.

This is the neo-imperialism of the soft left, nothing too grubby, like the right to organise a trade union or a more equitable distribution of wealth, hell no! Human rights is more their thing. Public school educated intellectuals in the west lecturing the developing world on how to behave! It's so uplifting! Not too dissimilar to what their great grandad did, except in his day it was called civilizing the savages and was the moral underpinning of the British Empire.

This sham is profoundly dishonest and requires the building of mountains out of molehills in very select cases, it also requires our intellectual superiors to use broad brush generalisations and dumb down analysis to patronise the great unwashed in order that they might get it.

Our right wing posters might blow a bollock, but these are precisely the tactics used to smear Jeremy Corbyn, who now, of course, is both a racist and anti-Semite.

Could you repeat this in English please.
