Sadly your problem is the mass media needs the likes of Arsenal, Victim fc and the rags to do well so clowns from different parts of the country will buy into the gloryhunt fest ........... honestly I hope Chelsea get sorted soon ........ I hope you lot continue to do the same and I hope Newcastle smash there way through ........ they are gonna go on a massive witch-hunt now because it’s there only way of getting back to the top now that’s the real sad case it’s no longer about football with these twats it playing snide crap games to get you off the top ..........I mean the sky loadmouths if last night was a double standard rat and a man who spits on kids :( cannot wait for the serial cheat Rio to no doubt push this agenda even more

Watching the rags v athletico game with sound on and it’s so different to how our games are broadcast. And at halftime we have all the rag twats on “camel gob and thick has fuck scholes “ trying to soothe Essex man and I’m the biggest fan from surrey but can’t get to the match tonight because my Google maps is down. Fuckers the lot of them. Rant over.
 
I have a fair number of football related people I follow on twitter along with general football news sites and since the invasion of Ukraine it's become open season on our owners for some reason. Retweeting the crap from Neville or blaming our owners for what?? They're going on about the German model, saying 50+1 is better. But who has the better league, the most exciting football, the better competition between clubs, the best players? Comments are all how it's corruption and they are losing interest. It's sour grapes now that their clubs are no longer winning. It's obvious how we do it. We have a great manager, buy technical players that suit our system and work hard as a collective unit. The owners have invested in the club and the area and deserve credit not the constant criticism. If journalists have a problem with capitalism or how sharia law affects people's rights, fair enough, but take it up in the front of the paper. Don't use it as an excuse for the poor performance of certain poorly run football clubs.

Was just going to post similar
Every time they go over the half way line they have an orgasm.
Do we ever get the same biased half time coverage?

It's laughable at the moment - any talk of Chelsea/Abrahmovic/Russia in the media, immediately ignores them and just starts banging on about the UAE and Saudi Arabia... as a blue it's only Abu Dhabi that concerns me, and I fail to see what issue they have... I mean genuinely, why are we dragged into the debate?
Some probably will claim it's about the war in Yemen - why punish Russia and not the UAE/Saudi... but the situations are completely different - they choose to ignore that the war in Yemen is down to an Iranian backed (and Russia too alegedly) military coup overthrowing the elected government, and the Saudi/UAE coalition is backed by NATO and the UK/USA - yes terrible deaths have happened in Yemen, but we and the USA are not completely innocent in that are we... just look at Iraq and Afghanistan.
Is it then the HR issues in those countries? Well before the lockdowns there were over half a million UK visitors per year to Dubai, and in 2019 Abu Dhabi recorded 11.35 million international visitors... funny how the HR worries seem to melt away when you're sunning yourself on a lovely beach.
Saudi reportedly executed 81 people a few days back... the US still executes people - and not so long ago had a lot of people incarcerated without trial in Guantanamo Bay.
We know there are issues in the middle east, but the UAE is improving at a pace compared to it's neighbours - and how it used to be - but these are not issues we can chose to take action over like Abrahmovic... for who are we to try and impose our western civilities on others – dictating to people makes you the dictator. And if we did sanction our owners for simply being from Abu Dhabi (even though we know we're not State Owned etc.) the where do you draw the line? Kick out Mo Salah because he's Egyptian - a country in the top ten worst countries for HR violations? Wolves have Chinese owners etc. etc. etc.
Ultimately, we know that their sabre rattling is nothing to do with them having amazing morale compasses, and more to do with the fact that the media darling red-shirts are having their noses pushed out.

No coincidence that Ratboy has a rant about foreign owners and then Sky have a documentary called the "Super Greed" available to watch from Monday. It wasn't an off the cuff rant it was scripted to promote their show and generate it as a major topic of discussion.

he doesnt seem to have an issue with Peter Lim being a joint owner of salford city with him. Wonder if that will be included in the documentary.

Just got BTSport Ultimate channel on and it's a show covering the best CL and EL games recently involving english sides. I'll give you one guess on the team to not be shown at all. Hint, it wasn't a team in red (they were both shown at least twice)

Many decades ago there was an ITV Programme called "All Our Yesterdays" so was this a repeat on Sky Dave ?

Eddie Howe is just as complicit in sportswashing as his bosses

It was deeply uncomfortable sitting in on the press conference at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and it had nothing to do with the few feet of the space available t

The Times, owned by News UK who hacked a dead girls phone making her parents and the police think she was still alive, is Alysson Rudd just as complicit in that?

Edit: I believe she worked at The Times when Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal Al-Saud, was the second highest share owner of Newscorp. Hoisted by her own petard.

I watched ‘the best goals of 2016’ on sky the other day. I shouldn’t have bothered, I forgot that was the season we abstained.
