Did u play this, Frankly MR Shankly...

I didn't realise you wrote poetry...

If I do or I don't, what difference does it make?

It makes none...

But now you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight

Neil Ashton must be the highest paid member of the scum.

Shows the man for what he is. An American style fixer rather than a journalist.

Not disagreeing with the negative comments about him, but is he still involved? (Or is Anthony one of his clients?)
I thought he was employed by Woodward rather than the club itself, so I thought his connection with united didn’t exist anymore.

I read that entirely differently from yourself then, I see no pop at City at all and mentioning the 115 charges is hardly having a pop either, do you expect everyone to just forget about them?

I'm with @BlueAnorak the article was about how clubs like City were more organised and better prepared for the future. It mentioned all the big players that were present and it mentioned the United man wasn't. But then he changed tack.
Before the 115 charges were mentioned he almost implied we'd been let off the uefa charges by our mates at the meeting and now, would anyone seriously consider punishing such a powerful player like City ?

Never mind Brighton's numbers look at Tottenham's. To have achieved what they have and have those players and still only have the 4th highest net spend is truly amazing. No wonder Levy gets all those plaudits as a tough negotiator.

Have you ever seen Tottenham win the league? Have you ever seen ….. come on, join in.

Slightly away from the point you're making but for what it's worth saying, Ireland Rugby fans got messed about by the French set up yesterday.
The ground was advertised as 40 minutes away from the city. Turned out the tram service wasn't up to the task. Supporters who set out two hours early, missed the first 20 minutes of the match.
In fairness, they managed to not riot, murder anyone or start crying to the tabloids.

Or blag their way in with forged tickets

Absolutely no need to mention it at all in context if the story.
None.
That is why he is having a pop!

I can live with it because of the headline - how often have you seen one like that below? I love it.

Also the small print below the Etihad image would boil some piss if it was more visible.

Wallace doesn't mention that the arena is a joint venture with Oak View so only 50/50 on the £365mil but still very significant when you also look at the £300mil for the North Stand expansion/Hotel etc etc. So CFG total investment nearly £500mil.

"almost implied", so he didn't imply that then? I'm sorry but that there is without doubt bias from the usual suspect sources against us but that's just nonsense.

He was talking about Soriano getting his seat at the table:-

"At times like these it seems everyone in the room has forgotten that City defeated a Uefa conviction of significant financial wrongdoing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in 2020 and now face 115 more charges from the Premier League. Where that ends, no-one is prepared to hazard a guess. These are the most serious charges the Premier League has ever levelled against a member. Yet in the face of it, Abu Dhabi are relentless. Another new CFG club, this time in Brazil. A new arena. A seat at the top table."

If you object to the above then I can't convince you otherwise as your mind was set before you read it.

Gareth Southgate a protected media species I note.

Engerland were shit because the Ukrainians were emotional and the press have to patronise them. Instead of questioning what the fuck was that performance. Sir Harry gets wanked over for his messiesque move for Kyle's tap in as well...

Mr Grey was always loved by the press. They like a loser, especially one who misses penalties on the big stage!
