If it means the same as it does in Irish then 'Prince' is a strange name for a girl.

It derives from the Welsh word for maiden 'rhiain'. Rhiannon and Rihanna are related.

Are they investigating how Matt Busby 'persuaded' Duncan Edwards's parents to get him to sign for United rather than Wolves who he had been associated for some years? Apparently buying a house for the parents was acceptable back then!

Dennis Violet's family aren't too happy to hear this, all they got was a fridge and a washing machine!

tbh I'd be careful what you wish for going back that far, they all did that.

Also, there was a video of an ex city player openly admitting to taking a bribe to throw a game on one of the threads the other week, his name has escaped me now, I want to say Roy Paul but not sure if that was right tbh

it's a wonder they don't try to dock points off us this season for cheating 40/50 years ago lol

Roy Paul was believed by some to organize the fixing of City games. The method was:
Wait until the last third of the season. If City had nothing to play for, but the opponents needed the points, approach them with a 'proposition.'
I have no idea whether this is true; perhaps our historian can throw some light on it. Calling @Gary James.

Good job its not the dippers I T team "setting them up", they might be hacking them to see which players the kids are googling!!

I was thinking the same, I imagine the dippers knew we were doing it before it was in the public domain

Nope, not seen it.

You really don't want to, city bingo just ignore.

A blatant and egregious lie from the north west football correspondent of The Times.

Anyone know if the original was in the paper or just a tweet?

You could see Pep was visibly taken aback at such basic incompetence and lack of professionalism or research

What Pep should have said,

were 14 in front you red rag ****
walking in a City wonderland.

Somebody put a video up of a city player he looked old admitting it on camera, I was just guessing the name was Roy Paul from memory, it was only last week or the week before, I would have searched for it but god knows what thread it was under lol

I never thought Steve McPointytwat could be as shit as a pundit as he was as a player for us, but it’s fucking close. Let VAR try and sort that one out.

Sad when you keep Sky on for the preview of the Manchester derby, have to wait for all the Saturday previews, then the Liverpool preview, then 13 minutes on Man Utd & 2 minutes on City. It was during that 2 minutes when my wife came to discuss something with me.
