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.
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.
