It’s Green Football Weekend so not too surprising that they mention it

Not for me it isn't it's just a football weekend. Watching it and going to a game used to be the one time you could lose yourself and forget all the other shit in the world for ninety minutes. Not anymore.

SSN are talking like someone has died just because the scouser lost. Hahahaha.

I think there is a bit of both, perhaps in equal measure, otherwise “dirty oil money club” would be used for vitriolic attacks against Norwegian, American, Canadian, Chinese, Nigerian, and Russian ownership groups/clubs, as well.

Has any media outlet ever actually used that phrase? I don't think even Delooney has? What some random dick on Twitter says has absolutely no effect on me.

Not that phrase exactly, of course, but “oil money” has absolutely been used by various media personalities (“journalists” and pundits). They mean it in the same way when it is said, and they know how their target audience will interpret it.

Not watched Sly Sports Saturday Night Football for months,

Thought I’d give it a go tonight.

Got to be Wolves 3 - Liverpool 0 or Villa 2 - Leicester 4.

No!

Rags v Palace.

First clip.

Tent Pep looking somber and upset walking on to the pitch with a wreath.

Off!

Is protecting the heritage important? City do ok and we have no history at all.

Heritage of clubs is important. Too many clubs gave their identity overhauled, colours and crests drastically reinvented. The Eagle crest with Latin and three stars shouldn't have happened at City in 1997. Frank Shinawatra thankfully didn't fold us. We've been bloody lucky. Thankfully investment came our way but some owners are clueless. It's more than the Premier League teams.

Which part of the phrase? The dirty bit? Coz they've used the oil money bit many many times.

I agree. My post was a tongue in cheek comment on those who say City have no history.

Was there any commercially sensitive information leaked? I remember the leaks being about the state of the closed door investigation, and announcing decisions before they were officially decided.

I doubt we'll have given them any commercially sensitive information, and quite rightly so, hence their non-compliance hissy fit. Pretty sure we would have saved that for CAS. But you can be sure what was leaked to the usual suspects and then to the media was a small part of what was leaked to the usual suspects in total. Our management make mistakes sometimes but they aren't fools.
