There are plenty of Jews who support Manchester City. I seriously doubt that any criticism of Manchester City is motivated by Arab / Israeli rivalry as the UAE are partners with Israel and have signed commercial and political agreements with them.
It is true that the media is completely ignorant. They would like the region to be run as a parliamentary democracy but this is a cockpit of war whose enmities are fed by history. In the Middle-east they will burn British and American flags because of this history and our journalists talk about individuals who are fit and proper to own English football clubs. The injustice in the Middle-east is very upsetting but the causes are artificial states and foreign interference and we're still interfering. "You can own a football club because your company is registered in the United States of America but if your company is registered in some tin-pot state in which there are no elections so no you are not welcome." No recognition at all of history and why the world is divided in the first place.
I've lost count of the amount of times we have been accidentally called United , does make you wonder if its deliberateAccording to the clown commentating
At Spurs
Serge Aurier played in the 1-0 Defeat to Manchester United at the Carabo Cup Final
Oh yessssI've lost count of the amount of times we have been accidentally called United , does make you wonder if its deliberate
Hope you pointed out Liverpool spent more on a defenderHad a family do last night and inspite of my good sense usually, I was drawn into a debate with som of my brother in laws on football.
Now I'd spoken to my dipper in law earlier and we had a decent discussion on the relative seasons City and Liverpool had. All enjoyed the FA Cup final.
Then as I say this ambush. One of the gooners started off its disgusting how Citeh can spend so much on a defender, Guardiola such a 'decent ' coach but I could win the league with his resources!!!!
Then he started bleating on about about sportswashing. Sigh.
The other one who's not a football fan but his son supports the dippers (from Brum!) pipes up. Spent a billion in 10years, that's obscene! The mineral wealth of the state should belong to the people not the despots who own that state.
I plunged in pointing out that Sheikh Mansour is not a state but bought City through his private investment company had invested in the city as well as the team.
In the end I just said we'll agree to differ as I think I would have sparked them out. What's doubly disappointing is that they like me are of Pakistani origin but are happy to glibly repeat the standard racist troupes.
As fans we're now accountable for how or owner made his money????
Wish I'd pointed out about the later success of the arsehole's was built on conflict diamonds, vulture capitalism fuelling the red cheeks etc.
The point is does negativity work? Suppose geological ages of the Earth could pass before these idiots stop releasing hot stale air! Fuck em if they want to judge me. My parting shot last night was green isn't a good look for you.
The gooner who spouted off about 'sportswashing', he does know whose name is on their stadium and shirt I assume?Had a family do last night and inspite of my good sense usually, I was drawn into a debate with som of my brother in laws on football.

Exactly. This is the crux of it. And since we won't/don't, it's further implied that Manchester City fans are therefore morally flawed or at least conflicted, and "the rest of us" (non-City fans) aren't, which makes "the rest of us" morally superior and therefore better humans inherently. Which then renders City's football success doubly irrelevant.
When I used to play cricket, as a bowler primarily, if I took a wicket with a bad ball or the batsman swung and got himself out the standard phrase when jibbed about it in the bar afterwards was ‘look in the book. It says bowled, it doesn’t say bowled... crap ball / shot.’I wonder if the media condemned HRH SM when he saved Barclays Bank from financial collapse back in 2008?
Nah course they didn't the hypocritical wankers!
As someone said earlier...Fuck them all, we are CHAMPIONS.
They can continue they're spiteful, racist, rhetoric all they like, but they won't change that!
Yep, Cohen is very pro-American interventionism. That clearly extends to football clubs as well as geopolitics. It’s a bad faith diversionary tactic when the conduct of American owners is under more scrutiny than ever beforeThis is not a thing, there are no entrance requirements to the grand bazaar of global capitalism beyond the means to trade, criminality (and issues of national security). Those who set their stalls up at the entrance do so under entirely false pretences.
We know the right wing want to impede the growing economic muscle of China, but the Left? In truth I've given up trying to work out what they want.
Both right and left are highly selective as to whom their bogus rules apply and even more so on how they should be applied, or even what they might be, or what they hope to achieve.
For the most part this bullshit is about shaping public opinion rather than a desire for practical solutions, because in reality the rules of the game have not been broken, there can be no practical solutions because there is no problem.
