[Spurs quarter 69]

Normally I moan like f**k if I feel City don't get top billing on BBC Sports news, and I'm no fan of Leeds Rugby ( Wigan fan ). Have to say though anyone who didn't have a tear in their eye watching Kevin Sinfield carry Rob Burrows over the finish line of the Leeds marathon has no soul. Good luck to you both fellas you are in my thoughts and prayers, and also to Robs wife and children. Everyone should have a friend like Kev.

I have heard a couple of pundits when asked how to stop Haaland reply to 'go in hard on him' I don't remember anyone ever suggesting this for Salah or Kane

It all stems from Mancini being paid by an Abu Dhabi company for work before he joined City.
This is conflated into ‘double wages’ and ‘off the books’ and has been ongoing for over a decade now.

Iirc What Mancini did/didn’t do for that Abu Dhabi company is moot, it was a job, he was paid. He then became City manager and got paid for that. End of.

This standard employee business practise of luckily having more than 1 legitimate paying job lined up, seems to fly by the foaming at the mouth vitriol.

And the conflating is then applied to all City players - ‘must have brown envelope double pay’, ‘why else should they go/stay there’, ‘dodgy finances’
… all the while forgetting that to accuse City of that, means accusing worldwide accountants, worldwide sponsors, lawyers, the management, the coaches, the players and the tea lady of being corrupt.

It’s farcical.

Indeed farcical. They’re becoming increasingly desperate and deranged and it’s wonderful to watch.
Anyone advancing or believing this “paid off the books” bollocks just means they’re self identifying as a total fucking idiot. You expect it with thick fuckers sat in their bedrooms, but one guy recently on Twitter was an MD at Accenture who really should know better ! I’d expect someone more senior at the firm would’ve “had a word” that acting like a thick twat on social media Is not a good look.

They are conspiracy theorists.

that's because they're both shit

As expected, motd yet again did not look at a stonewall City pen in their summary.

It was hardly a game changer, it was already done and dusted at that point, the only effect was to deny Haaland another goal.

Great post, Kevin Sinfield is the man of the century, inspirational man, heart of a lion, dedication knows no bounds. His friendship and support of Rob Burrows is one of life’s biggest affirmation’s there’s more good than bad.

I’d love to put Kevin in a boxing ring with Putin who is the antithesis of Kevin, respect to that man and Rob & his family.
