I don't know his motive but to link every foreign policy decision taken by the UAE to Manchester City is absurd. As many have explained on here Sheikh Mansour has very limited influence, if any, in UAE Goverment decisions. Sheikh Mansour has investments all over the world in all sorts of sectors. To try and link a picture of one of our players crying to our owner is just pathetic.

The fact is that Sheikh Mansour is one of two deputy prime ministers and neither can become prime minister as that office is exclusively reserved as the lifetime appointment of the ruler of Dubai. Maybe the know nowts in the media would be better aiming their bile towards British horse racing, the FA Cup and all the many sports teams and sports events around the world sponsored by Emirates who pay them out of Dubai's sovereign wealth fund.

I don’t even know where to start with this…maybe the “Doctor” should stick to treating the sick, for a start… https://www.footballinsider247.com/newcastle-united-worried-amid-dan-plumleys-man-city-comparison/

Don't worry because on the balance these reports are all fair, Mr Mooney said so.

When City fans asked why the media were not interested in the Alisher Usmanov we were met with cries of whataboutery.

Arn’t most of the media Russian owned these days?

Darren Ambrose about to be sack from Talkshite.


He's kicking off at PiGMOL and their apology to Everton saying it opens a major can of worms.


Also as there's no VAR in tonight's cup game. How many times will it be shoehorned in if we score from a marginal offside call?

And ignored when Liverpool do the same

And another point is there not a whiff of hippocrisy over current attitudes to current invasions and past invasions. This goes to the heart of the fit and proper question. The media regard the UK as the good guys but is that really so? Think now how you feel about Ukraine and how if you lived in the Middle East you would regard British media claims that Arab rulers are not fit and proper when a few years ago we were invading them.

What’s the difference between the West Ham equaliser two weeks ago and Rodri’s? There was hardly a comment on Dawson’s hand ball goal but we’re still discussing Saturday’s incident three days later, it’s agenda driven

Not only discussing it, apologising for it.
