Champions League final: Man City owner Sheikh Mansour will pay for fans' travel

Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour will pay travel costs of fans attending the Champions League final.

Not that they say much and certainly not praiseworthy

Timed perfectly to boil the piss of the zebra fuckers planning to wave a flair at the swamp tonight.

Well well well, how are the media gonna spin this against Sheikh Mansour?

City fans excepting dirty oil money, easy.

Well well well, how are the media gonna spin this against Sheikh Mansour?

He buys season tickets for supporters who don't exist so their travel costs to the CL final won't set him back much. But if it does cost him anything it'll be paid back through inflated sponsorship deals with Etihad.

Still hidden in the football page half way down.

The media is still wanking itself off over the Alisson header so this won’t get a look in

 

[burning blue soul]

For god's sake chillout. Things aren't really that bad for City fans.

Haha!! OK, well noted :D

But you do realise which thread we are in? This ain't no chill out room, chum! ;)

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

It's on the BBC website so that the likes of Rags, Dippers, Foxes, Hyenas and assorted feral life can tut-tut, rather than suggesting that the Good Sheik is generous to a fault.

What are the options for those not going? I fancy a free pie each home game next season, if we get in. Oh, and a Bovril.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Media stance on this will be - He's paying transport otherwise we wouldnt have anyone going. Or It costs him nothing as we have no fans.

That's the comment section over at the Fail mate, rags and dippers using that narrative, makes my blood boil

Well it did win them the league didn't it, didn't it?

"City fans agree to bribery of free trip to Porto in exchange for ignoring human rights issues..."

It works for me, I had to bargain hard but we agreed on 1k a month, fantastic :)

BT Sports 1 right now.

Brown, Dickov and the Goat talking about 99 and how City have changed since.

Brown is a twat, always bigs up whoever we are playing against. The Goat and Dickov always nice about us

Caught that - just seemed like three blokes marvelling at what happened.
The comments about Blackpool in the 3rd flight were interesting - that they had no idea what the first game would bring, and half-expected to be booed for getting relegated.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

MOTD didn’t show the foul on Gundogan in their highlights

I should bloody well have thought so.
They’re still on the payroll.

 

[eastmanc]

Agree entirely.
Seem to remember at Maine Road wondering why our reported crowd was only say 30k whereas it seemed to be packed out.
In those days it was assumed cash businesses declared only a percentage of its real takings.
Now we are accused of over estimating RE Emptihad with our owner actually investing more than actual takings.

I fear that if we are hated so much by other teams, the media and the general public then no amount of trying to prove our innocence is going to work..
Just let's enjoy being successful blues and perhaps be a little smug that others have to be content with praise for much smaller achievements.

Fuck them all. Not bothered what other fans think. Rather be disliked than loved shows how good we are. Nobody’s second team anymore.

MOTD commentary " there was a lock of arms and var are checking this very carefully"
highlights omit the assault on gundy , var for brightons winning goal , foul on jesus
panel Dion Dublin " a lot of referees will give it Im not sure , Ashley Williams "its a coming together slowing it down its not a red card"
no mention of the red on Gundy
