[The Future’s Blue!]

I wonder why the Premier League are complaining......

I GUARANTEE you, if it were the two red shirt clubs who were included, there would be zero complaint

Premier League lodge formal complaint to FIFA over Club World Cup

EXCLUSIVE - MATT HUGHES: The schedule for the new tournament which will see Manchester City and Chelsea play up to seven matches in four weeks in the summer of 2025.

Very strange that they’d do this now, considering that we’ve known this for a while. Oh, wait, have United just been knocked out of the CL and realise that they be missing out on all that money?

These don‘t give a fuck about the players, they’ll just be after some sort of concession that will allow the Red twats a free pass into the tournament.

Just think, if they didn’t hamper clubs with FFP, they‘d be able to go out and bolster the playing squad which would aid the issue of fatigue.

I liked the commentary when we were just knocking it around in the first half and he said we were just casing the joint.

Charge 116..................................loitering with a football with the intention of winning another trophy,

and in a way which excludes the red iiistory clubs.

Shameless bit of Whataboutary.

Would Ellie Roebuck be on the SPOTY shortlist had she achieved what Earps did?
Would Donnie Van Beek win the overseas award if he had been nominated?

Taking away any perceived Rag/Female bias this is possibly one of the most underwhelming winners of the award.

Tad harsh Mr Longsight. Haaland represents Norway internationally.

Do not follow women's football too closely, there does seem to be a general agenda to big it up by various media groups. I know not why. Earps got extensive media exposure about shirt sales?? Recently had a bad game. Has been positive influence for women's sport but overall quite low profile in UK generally. Not considered best English player by many

Lauren Hemp was England's star player at the WWC not Earps.

Hi Eddie :)

I think you have me mistaken. I am Nenge. Nenge Mboko, from Cameroon.

The PL is only concerned because the FIFA Club World Cup is a commercial threat to them. Masters and his cronies are in the pockets of LFC and MUFC who have both failed to quality. Presumably the Directors of those clubs, along with Levy, have been whispering in Masters' ear again. Our enemies are gutted that City could earn an extra £150m from winning the FIFA event which is more than the PL and the CL offers.
FIFA are determined to make the new Club World Cup as successful as their existing international World Cup and I think it will be huge in the future. For City it will provide the best possible pre-season build-up. It will cement our position with the fastest-growing fanbase in North (and South) America. I am looking forward to it, no matter how much the English media try to distort their coverage of it.

Meanwhile it appears that TNT have very belatedly deleted that offensive and indeed libellous tweet about City
But only after 24hrs of harvesting clicks and the sweet sweet ad revenue
This us what we fight against and why
The club stays silent
And still there are naive dickheads on here who deny any sort of bias or agenda
Though we know many of them are shameless tarts and want to grow their own attention seeking media profiles

Anyone have a copy of, or know the gist of the offending tweet, for those of us that missed it?

No giggs this year then!!

Would you rather watch Mainoo play for England against Leichenstein or Bobb play for City against Shinzeng Tigers ?
