I see the BBC are reporting that we have found two of the individuals who were doing the chanting about Charlton's death. Amazing that we can find two individuals within 5 days isn't it? I wonder where the individuals who injured the young girl and the ones who attacked our coach are?

"Manchester City have released a statement regarding the fans who were heard singing offensive chants following the death of Sir Bobby Charlton at the weekend.

“Manchester City can confirm that two minors have been identified in connection with the vile chanting heard at the Etihad Stadium during half-time of last weekend’s fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion.

"The individuals in question have subsequently been suspended from attending all home or away fixtures and their details have been shared with Greater Manchester Police who are investigating the matter.

"Following the conclusion of Greater Manchester Police’s ongoing investigation, the individuals will be subject to the Club’s official sanctions and bans process.”"

If its a lifetime ban for 2 minors that's completely over the top and not aligned with a progressive society.
What about rehabilitation ffs

And crime doesn't solve itself you know.....

Maybe when they've investigated minors singing tasteless songs, perhaps they'll come round and see me about my burglary.

Not yet. Passed to the police and then "Following the conclusion of Greater Manchester Police’s ongoing investigation, the individuals will be subject to the Club’s official sanctions and bans process." according to the statement made by the club.

Shearer on 5 live just now:-
"They have done things the right way here at Newcastle. They have been very shrewd in the transfer market, unlike Manchester City."

WTAF!

It's like his comments on Mario Balotelli when he celebrated his goal in the Euros by removing his shirt and flexing his muscles.

"Come back when you've won something."

Well at that point, Mario had won 3 Serie A titles, 1 Coppa Italia, the Champions League, 1 Premier League and 1 FA Cup. Alan, by comparison, won 1 Premier League in his career.

Someone please correct me but didn’t Newcastle pay a world record fee for him for a striker?

The STAGGERING fee Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer would be worth in today's transfer market

Alan Shearer’s switch from Blackburn Rovers to Newcastle United in 1996 is the most expensive signing in Premier League history when adjusted for transfer market inflation, according to new research.
