I will,ta.

Of course race is a significant factor,in certain circumstances,but it should not be the go to reason as it often is with far too many agenda driven loons.

It clearly will surprise you....but we are disliked by rivals for many other reasons.
We all know the reason we are disliked by rivals, but that isn't the point. The rival-driven agenda in the media has latched onto the lowest denominator amongst the public by labeling City as "Abu Dhabi" and this has become acceptable all over the press and the people who listen to that nonsense. Just listen to Neville.

In a world where singing Chelsea Rent Boys is a homophobic criminal offence, people can't be surprised if "grinning beards" "oil money" and even "unlimited resources" when used pejoratively and the rest are taken to be racist, or at least xenophobic, or that City fans use those labels to respond.
 
lots of beefs with me

I get off the bus or train People down south "get off of the bus/train? whats with this off of?
Why is Berkshire incorrectly pronounced?
It's not spelt Barkshire (Bark of a tree / the sound of a dog)

why do we use slang relating to money? a grand Pony/Monkey etc

Why do the BBC employ female ex footballer pundits who can't pronounce the letter 'G' nuffin/everythin/sumthin etc etc. Was there only 25 letters in the alphabet at there school?
That "off of" really annoys me but the slang money has been around for all my lifetime and doesn't bother me, it was adopted by on course bookmakers with their semaphore tic tac code. Score £20, Pony £25, Ton, £100, Monkey, £500 and now colloquially £1000 is a "bag" as in a bag of sand, grand, deep sea diver a fiver and cock and hen a ten but those three are more Cockney rhyming slang.
 
I think that’s a fair headline by Rob Drapper, a London based journalist.

It’s not too dissimilar to the headlines City have been getting for the last 14 years about their transfer spending. ;-) (Isn’t it Rob?!)

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

Is there just a thing ?

Will they be discussing the 4G pitches etc which can not be recycled ? Plus the rumours of carcinogen cancer from all the chemicals in the rubber crumb from the old vehicle tyres ?

Or just be saying some team used an electric coach to get the match lol
