Ian Herbert’s report in the Mail talks about our great football for the majority then goes on to have a go at us for the academic locker up in the UAE.
It’s got fuck all place in a match report. Fucking joker.
There’s a blue on here, whose name escapes me, and he knows Herbert and reckons he’s a sound bloke with no particular beef about City. A Wrexham fan by all accounts. I must admit I was staggered when he told me, cos all I’ve ever seen out of the bastard is snide shit when it comes to us. He’s at it constantly
The media whine because they know what the distressed want to read. That is the bottom line.
The UAE is presented as human rights abusers, in that case FIFA might as well close down most of football starting with Africa, South America, China, and Russia and there would be a significant strand of opinion who would ask who are 'we' to lecture the world on democratic rights. That's not the way the Empire was built! Conveniently forgetting that the UAE was formed by the British Foreign Office.
The argument of the human rights brigade is the argument that Western militarists have used for two centuries only they are too thick to realise it

Let me guess what he said ...
'What is happening in AUE is a disgrace, the fact that they are owned by one of the biggest Asian countries is wrong and we should all refuse to buy their coffe as a protest over the imprisonment of this woman
'Am I close ?

To be fair, if our captain had to have glass removed from his eye I’d like to think the punishment would have been much harder. Both shouldn’t have happened, however the Boca attack was far more intense.Changing the subject slightly- Argentina football bus attack getting lots of publicity & comments about how dangerous & disgraceful an incident it was!!! Police involved etc. Dipper police meanwhile........

How about this gem slap bang in the middle of Ian Herbert's match report in the Mail this morning:
''The challenge to City and what they represent comes from beyond the field of play. For ten years, the Abu Dhabis ownership of this club has burnished the Gulf state's image.
But the shocking life imprisonment of British PhD candidate Matthew Hedges last week has brought Abu Dhabi's dubious human rights record into sharp focus. While its football team was going about its business, two more British universities cut ties with the UAE. The timing is unfortunate, after revelations that City perpetrated a complex deceit in their attempt to pass UEFA's Financial Fair Play.'
He then continues his match report to describe the fourth goal scored by Leroy.
Just WTF? Why on earth should that be placed prominently in the middle of a match report of West Ham v City?
Well... we all know why don't we? The inherent anti City stance and bias is just so obvious.
Until the club starts to do something about it, it will never stop.

The human rights violations were mainly against the 2000 drug deal dealers he had executed. Get caught in Thailand possessing illegal drugs and you will get 20 years in the slammer, deal drugs and you lose your life, sounds perfectly reasonable to me.https://www.theguardian.com/comment...-man-city-jailing-british-academic?CMP=twt_gu
What is the price of success? If you’re a Manchester City fan with an interest in human rights, it’s a crisis of conscience. I’ve been here before. Eleven years ago my club was bought by former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who had presided over “very serious human rights violations” according to Amnesty...
Stanley said this :-
“At the very least the Premier League should be making clear statements along the lines of - the Premier League looks to embrace countries and cultures from around the world as we are a truly global League.
But with that comes responsibility and we are concerned that one of our constituent clubs, which is owned by a sovereign wealth which is basically the government, has been questioned about it’s human rights practices. Ordinarily we wouldn’t involve politics in football, but this is a country that owns the club not a business, and this needs to be looked at”

Agreed the club needs to respond to these constant attacks, some of these shithouse journalists need to be banned from the Etihad.
