The mind boggles. These twats really cant’t think or see any further than the view from their window at Media City

How many offshoots of the rags are they? Salford City, Fc United now this lot. Now the mother ship is an also ran in the premier league these mard arses go hiding elsewhere.

Absolutely. A lot of opportunists looking to rinse the odd lot with their own tribute acts

This is just a publicity stunt to promote Howson's Youtube channel. As usual the BBC has fallen for it hook line and sinker. There are no quotes in the story from any of the football authorities or anyone outside Howson's group to verify the facts. It is essentially a story about a pub team.
Hundreds of supporters' groups run Sunday or Saturday league teams across the country but they don't get free publicity funded by the taxpayers. The way they have written this story is misleading at best and fake news at worst. Precisely what you would expect from BBC sport these days.

Did I just hear Clive correctly on the BBC

Along the lines of specialist subject would be history of Manchester City from 2008 when the money came in, with a theatrical wink at the camera.

Brilliant.

Was he being spoken to by Emily Maitlis?
She's a rag

We’re tarp of the league....

Says it all with this comment at the end:

"There is really no need to spread out across all three tiers and spell out City in gigantic letters, but that’s what they’ve done and it looks good. The sort of reckless spending we thought we’d seen the last of in the Roberto Mancini era. Much like the actual league title, it turns out that money talks. A deserving winner. Now let’s never speak of this again".

Also the large letters spelling CITY on the top two tiers were done before the lockout of fans. As usual for every compliment, there are two or three untrue or bitter comments like the last sentence. It really does hurt them.

Anyone who finds offence in that article simply doesn't have a sense of humour.

Simon Jordan giving media grief for misrepresenting Newcastle as a club and Steve Bruce in particular. Says he wants and expects the media to be informed and balanced in reaching an opinion. Nearly choked on my Coco Pops I tell ya!
