So her lunatic theory is that Pep and all City's financial and legal team would spend days preparing a totally false bid for Rice to try and help their main title rivals buy an excellent player. Pep would do this as a personal favour to Arteta to help him undermine his own boss and his own club's owners. Yeh that sounds very true.
Apart from a small group of deranged conspiracy theorists you don't hear much about "sportswashing" these days. Perhaps the penny has finally dropped that there are easier (and cheaper ways) to improve your reputation than buying 12 clubs across the world in places like Brazil, India, China, Uruguay, and of course Beswick.

Yeah, I lost count of the number of times acquaintances kept asking me during the season how they were not convinced as to how Haaland would fit in. Just count the goals, I said, and the comments eventually dried up. The RDAHMeedya have a standard whereby anything sky blue is shrouded in doubt but anything connected to red is ultra-positive!
