Because these people, much like the people that inhabit places like Twitter don’t live in the real world with the rest of us. It’s the same with things like FFP and empty seats, what appears to be a big deal for people across various media platforms really isn’t a big deal for people in real life.

Manchester City’s Owner Helps Usher Russian Tycoons Into the UAE

Outside the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan is best known as owner of English football champion Manchester City. At home, he’s deputy prime minister and a powerful member of the royal family.

Really not what we needed right now.

Why ? It is from people who don't want to be named as the information isn't publicly known yet.
In other words 'Steve I need a story from you by 4pm any shit will do.
BUT if it is true what is wrong with attracting Russian billionaires ? This country did it for 30 years, (like the rest of europe)
Abu Dhabi is a free independent nation, it can form its own policies with regards to foreign affairs.

So as Klopp is 4-1 ahead he is clearly building a fuck all dynasty.

Just sayin'

I’ve been in London on business most of the week. Everyone I’ve spoken to who knows about my City links has said we have to stop them. The media are clueless
 
Spurs quarter 69 said:
I'm a sad lower league fan who supports two clubs, City and Fleetwood Town. When I was first into footy Fleetwood were Lancashire combination and my first game was a FA Cup tie with Rochdale in 1964. My dad was a Manc and City fanatic and so naturally I followed the blues as well as my home town. This caused me grief in a school that was half rag half dipper surprisingly not many Blackpool fans. In a small town local clubs rely on cross over support from the prem, don't see anything wrong in it myself. When I was younger at most home games at Maine Rd now an old man find it much more relaxing to pop along to Highbury and make trips to the Etihad an increasingly rare treat.

I am not putting you in that bracket - I mean the ones that pick liverpool or utd that have absolutely no connection to them.
 
It may have been mentioned before but

Women's Super League: Five talking points going into this weekend's games

Who will sit top of the table after the penultimate weekend? Five talking points going into this weekend's games.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk
Is about 5 talking points going into the final matches in the WSL

Chelsea & Arsenal - fine
Kerr goal scoring - fine
United, trying for 3rd - hmm
Relegation battle - fine
Asante finishing - fine

so the hmm… according to the table graphic united , one point above, have played same number of times as city (they’ve played one more).
And, there is no mention of the horrendous injury list at the start of the season to a certain club, leading to a dire start , which has slowly changed to clawing there way back into CL place contention, and it’s now in their own hands to take the place from united…
 
The BBC have come up trumps in their Gossip round up of all things transfer related today. It’s not made me angry just fucking laughed at the levels they are going to.

Liverpool fans have moved to tweak the words of a chant to feature the name of Jurgen Klopp's wife after the German revealed she was key in his decision to extend his contract at Anfield. (Mirror)
 
Spoke to an evertonian mate of mine yesterday not seen him in the bar for months obviously because he didn’t want to watch them in there. Anyway for years I have been saying to him the game is bent especially with refs and var and when we got knocked out by spurs in the chumps semi when Jesus goal should have stood , he was laughing is bollox off. Now he’s bemoaning the fact they should have had a pen in the derby and the game is bent. Took him a while to realise how bent game favours red tops.
 
All I've heard for the last couple of days is how Liverpool could put pressure on Manchester City by going ahead if they beat Newcastle.

Conversely the reports about City is that we'll be playing catch up on Saturday night.

As it occurred to the biased idiots that it's actually the dippers who are playing catch up?

These journalists/presenter are experts in spin.

Where I work in the centre of Manchester we have 7 dipper fans! Yes I know our recruitment policy is shocking. The year we pipped them by 1 point I had them several of them saying the country wanted them, I knew this was bollocks so carried out a bit of a test and for 3 weeks asked everyone I spoke to if they liked football and if they weren't a City, dipper, Utd or Everton fan who they wanted to win the PL. 62% said City, imagine what the % would be if I included 3 of the 4 clubs - they were speechless but "surprise surprise" couldn't accept the result. Several of them were in denial about the Gordan penalty on Sunday and can only respond with well you've had decisions go your way - I respond with name 5 over the last 3 seasons (generous number and time frame) I real off 5 for them in 60 seconds and walk off while they are still scratching their heads.

They did the same a couple of seasons ago when were neck and neck, the talk was always about the pressure on City and never on Liverpool.
What I don't understand is their stance on City winning again would be bad for football but Liverpool winning everything this season would be great for football.

I'm not convinced they do actually believe that.

I get the impression they hope/assume fans of other clubs hate us as much as they hate us.

So it's a bit like my stance in the 90s "anyone but the rags". Now their stance is anyone but City.

Does anyone get any work done at your place? ;-)
 
Talksport just had Tony Evans on. After about 30 seconds the presenter suggested that after all the hype, they could end up with just the league cup.

It was like he’d been hit by a bus. Begrudgingly then said that yes that could be the case what with the small margins.

It’ll be around from now onwards that the quad talk, as we know, will start to take its toll.

1-1 today for the new scum.

As someone from Greater Manchester I find it bizarre that anyone outside of Dipperville would support anything to do with those weirdos. Dipper fans are the most unwelcome, ill behaved “supporters” in this Country. Every year brings another example, from UEFA’s condemnation of their “fans” to spitting on our staff and supporters this season and everything that’s well documented inbetween.

Ler’s see what the latest match brings, Var cheating, ref ignoring the rules of the game, BT choosing a Dipper cocom, media pile on, etc, etc, it’s nauseating in the extreme, so to conclude:

Fuck you Dipper wankers.

Correct.

They blame us for ruining football.

If you ask me they should be thanking us.

The reality is we've raised the bar so high that the premier league has now become the high end product they've been desperately trying to sell for years.

If anything is ruining football it's their lack of impartiality and constant spin.

They crave for a tight title challenge but bleat about it when we're involved.

I'm not sure whether it's lost on them but the past few seasons it's been us and another fighting for the title?

We never hear about that.
 
Last weekend step-son went to Caldy-Sale rugby match. Caldy is on the Wirral. If Caldy (their last match) won they’d be promoted, if Sale won, they had a chance of being promoted as they had another match still
Said to him ‘it’ll kick off in the ground, being scousers’ - got a quizzical sceptical look back, being polite ‘class’ rugby supporters, rather than ‘Neanderthal’ football supporters.

… and lo and behold , it did.
