Remember mad Mike?

Yes and his jocks were just as mad. A bit of a short arse he had a knack of upsetting people by being too gung-ho.

I am no expert on Geopolitics and I am sure others on here would know better. According to Google though the UAE abstained only on the orginal vote but has subsequently voted in favour of UN resolutions. These further votes have apparently not been covered by the UK press.

Don't be modest;)
I didn't catch anything of it on Breakfast and was wondering where the anti City stuff came from and I wasn't even aware of a second vote. Although they still tell lies it seems the media here and US just omit whatever doesn’t suit them.

Yet again the muen, as last week, their online article headline about chelsea states Manchester united and Man City; firstly C comes before u alphabetically, and secondly why do they get the full name and we don’t? Especially as half the muppet cunts who support them refer to them as man u. Cunts

Our official website is Man city so I can't see the issue with MAN or MANCHESTER. I do agree that the Rags are C-NTS though. CTID

I understand there has been a series of UN resolutions since the first one, each one with different elements. Some experts believe the only way out of this crisis will be if the Chinese put pressure on Russia. The Chinese have a lot to lose if World War 3 breaks out. They are not condemning Russia publically but hopefully they are working behind the scenes. Other experts believe the Chinese are playing a waiting game because they want to claim back Taiwan. What a bloody mess.

In a nutshell they are hoping, without logic, to use the current environment created by the government's sanctions on Abramovich to root out 'state' ownership of City & Newcastle.

From what I've read, their geopolitical contributions show why football is their 'speciality'. Miguel Delaney stated on Wednesday/Thursday that the UAE was orbiting towards Russia from the West after it's abstention (which as you state, in later voted in favour of) @ the UN on Ukraine, only for the UAE to announce literally hours later that it was producing more crude oil to alleviate rising fuel costs in the West. You actually can't make it up.

Without blowing my own, I consider geopolitics with regards to Eastern Europe to be something I'm fairly knowledgeable about. It's quite insulting to see football journalists using, lets face it, their own football tribalism to deflect what's happening there, in order to use the as more substance to current climate to target Middle-Eastern owned football clubs because their own clubs are now atshite. All very poor. A

The fact is whether they like it or not, their views on football aren't going to dictate key btasiesrelationships between the West & key allies in the Gulf. The fact they can't differentiate showsbetween a UN mandated intervention in Yemen & the Russian invasion of Ukraine shows their ignorance in these matters. None of this matters in regards City in any event, andas we're owned by Sheikh Mansour in a private capacity.

Thanks. I had assumed that there was somehow more to it than a bunch of know nowt revealing their masturbation fantasies.
That they even try this on shows what scum they are and it embarrasses me that people living in this country do this sort of thing whilst women, children and the elderly try to save their own from a madman

"Man City" doesn't really bother me like it does some, because all PL Clubs have brands to be fair. However, "If City doesn't get referenced by the name Manchester, nobody does" is kind of the point though.

United haven't been based in Manchester for over 100 years, they've been referred to as Man-U globally a lot longer too.

I get paranoid on this issue & fear their constant lobbying, given the current climate with Abramovich, could lead somehow to our ownership being targeted. There is no solid information or factual cause for this to happen but it's just a fear I have, as their constant smearing has definitely had an effect on the reputation of our club. Certainly in the UK anyway. They are like a dog with a bone who are intent to see our Club brought down and replaced by their beloved ones, who's ownerships can apparently do no wrong.

I don't have anything to back this up by the way, it's just a fear I have that's been heightened this week by the on goings at Chelsea.

Our ownership being targeted!

Can't see that happening ;-)

Too true.

Out in the car and was listening to Talking Balls on radio Manc. Was half an hour Rags talking about winning the Champs League (!), 7 mins of City re Stones and Laporte and then back to United and Marcus Rashford. Turned it over then. Is it always like that ?.

 

[Metalartin]

I didn't realise how many of these anti-city journalists were Chelsea fans. The hypocrisy of their positions over the years, is really quite ridiculous when put into the proper context(are they deranged enough not to see it?).

I suppose it's not even a question of if but when are the whatsapp group going to start asking "but but what about City?" rather than focussing on what's actually relevant right now. It would only confirm they don't give a damn about anyone or anything but themselves and their agendas. We already know they have no integrity, they mostly operate behind faux moral crusades, lies, bile and hate mongering as it is.
