How noble that some City fans have such admirable principles and such clean hands that they can berate our owner for the people he talks to. Of course, it can be of no importance that he is deputy PM of the UAE and that regional powers in the area include Iran and Syria and that the region has been unstable for the last 15 years at least and that Russia has played an increasingly prominent role there in recent years. Maybe the meeting was trying to bring greater stability to a troubled region. Such an objective can actually be achieved ONLY by meetings and negotiation. Perhaps the UAE expressed the view that they do not wish to see Syrian forces serving in the Ukraine. I understand that President Zelensky has been negotiating with Putin in an attempt to end the carnage. Surely we don't believe he's at fault for this! The fact is that if we wish to solve international problems we usually have to talk to people we don't like at all. Peace only came to Northern Ireland after intensive negotiations between our government and Irish republicans. They didn't like each other and they had to agree to some very controversial terms, but the carnage stopped. So, as one of the characters in Sartre's "Les Mains Sales" says, if you want to do good you have to put your arms in the shit up to your elbows."

Khaldoon should explain the meeting during his end of season video.

After that he should tell us about buying Haaland.

The only Rag player good enough to play for us but didn't was Duncan Edwards. And Neville is no Duncan Edwards.

Is this the picture you're looking for?

What the fuck is happening here?
It’s clear here that Sheikh Mansour is an important part of the government. Why else is he wheeled out for a photo opportunity with Putin’s only real ally and also a callous dictator in his own right? Therefore adding more fuel to state owned.
Khsldoon is up to his eyes in UAE govt business as far as I can see,
If this really is Middle East realpolitik which it may well be then more evidence that Sheikh Mansour and govt are linked.
No doubt Mansour and Khaldoon were involved with the rapprochement with another state that murders Arabs by the thousand..,,,,Israel.
What the fuck are posters now slagging off Chris Bryant for? who in a UK of brainwashed docility as the corruption is in plain sight - has been a fearless defender of democratic standards and holding politicians to account.
If he wants to bring in an emergency bill to instruct the PL to sanction Mansour because the evidence is showing that his morals like with the UAE govt committing war crimes in Yemen hand in hand with Saudi are those of an alley cat, then why shouldn’t he and if it goes through then potentially we are fucked.
I’ve turned a blind eye to the shit UAE has been doing for far too long, I’ve known but refused to admit it because of my love for my team.
I think we are closer to a complete US domination of the PL than ever.
The key that this picture with Assad shows that we cannot dent is Mansour is knee deep in UAE politics and with the evidence Ivd shown - it is fucking dirty and disgusting politics.
Not defending Swales by any stretch and he was a product of his time but is he morally worse than Mansour and Khaldoon?

Alright Phil fucking Daniels, calm your skin down.


Fuckin parklife part 2 you.

Bet our owner thinks about Man City rarely he is that busy has so many business and more serious matters to attend to!

Some of the media thinks he is there plotting how to sportwash.

Yes…dodgy dave is involved ;)

The Brummies were going mad as they were convinced Xi was going to Birmingham before being diverted to Manchester. (City)

It didn't go down well in China either according to BBC United, Mediacity.

Chinese less than United over Man City visit

Chinese President Xi Jinping's trip to Manchester has been hotly anticipated by Chinese social media users, who are abuzz over why he is visiting Manchester City, and not the more internationally famous Manchester United.
