...it's as though 'state sponsored' only applies to teams not in red...

Arsenal have received the thick end of a billion quid for the Emirates sponsorship since 2004 (stadium) and 2006 (shirt). It's due for renewal in 2023.

Imagine the Bellingham meltdown ;)

Along with the Pep signs a new contract meltdown

I believe that his Dad was at Dirty Leeds when the lad was born. But I've only ever seen him in a City strip.

Shows just how much fact checking these muppets do before they open their mouths.

True. It’s having a domino effect now with the media and in other instances.

Kids love successful teams but they also love and follow great players. Loads of young ones are going to grow up supporting City because of the time Haaland spends here. Ticket sales seem to be better than ever as well.

like the kids followed a winning team on ITV every tuesday wednesday night there now watching a world superstar on their doorstep
trouble is for the media he plays up front for city

I’m starting to worry now about the press/media they seem to be changing tack and writing or talking positive about City mostly,probably because they know it’s the only way to see pep leave,the constant negatives in my opinion was only making him more determined to shut them up ..

Yeah, once they start on how he has managed, brought young talent to the front, developed a range of multi-national players, and played the kind of football the PL has never seen, he might think it's time to move on.

Arsenal’s Rwandan sponsorship comes from our taxes. The gov paid around £65m in aid to Rwanda, of which £30m was paid to Arsenal. If any sponsorship should be investigated, it is this.

If that is true then hypocrisy has gone out of the window big time.

Has Arsene seen as much of this as he did over every foul in the Arse area that wasn't given. Wonder what kind of 'washing' he would label this?

Of course it’s true. It’s been extended recently as well. https://learngerman.dw.com/en/rwandas-arsenal-sponsorship-deal-sparks-outrage/a-44022696

No, Alfie signed for City on 1st July 2000. Erling wasn’t born until July 21st 2000. His dad was already at City when he was born

 

[levets]

Couldn't recollect how long his Dad was there after his birth. Thanks for the info.

Haaland left Leeds at 3 weeks old. He has always been a City fan.

He was born 3 weeks after his dad had signed for City

"Indeed, the best Arsenal side for a decade finishing 10 points clear of everyone else but 15 adrift of City is itself a deliciously watchable prospect and something their very online fanbase would take with good grace and in no way generate endless memes about conspiracies and proper grand old clubs who don’t rely on oil money thank you very much, please don’t look at the name of our stadium."

That bit made me chuckle.

And this:
"" We are both mature enough and petty enough to acknowledge that the piss being boiled at Anfield, Old Trafford and elsewhere is clearly part of why we’re enjoying this all so much.""

But maybe still living in Dirty Leeds. Sure I read that Erling was Dirty Leeds born.

Yes he was, as you said for a few weeks; but my point is he only had a connection to Leeds being due to the place of birth. As a toddler he was running around in a City shirt.

Yes, thats what I put in my original post. No matter where he was born he was only ever seen in City kits

Presumably Alfie still had his house in Leeds so Erling was born there but spent his early years in Manchester.
