Over 120,000 British citizens are currently living in the United Arab Emirates.

There are over 5,000 British companies operating there, including BP, Rolls Royce, BAES, Mott McDonald, SERCO, Standard Chartered, HSBC and Waitrose. 779 commercial agencies and 4,762 British brands have invested in the UAE.

88% of the country's residents come from abroad.

Around 510,000 westerners live in the UAE, the country is home to over 200 nationalities.

The UAE is a major tourist destination, around 1.5 million British nationals visit every year. Tourism statistics for the country show that around 25.28 million people visited the UAE in 2019, expected to rise to 27.3 million by 2028.

So what, precisely, are our owners sportswashing? The rest of the world considers the UAE a great place to work, live and vacation and that includes workers on the construction sites from the Indian sub continent, who choose the UAE over any other Gulf state.

In polls conducted in the Middle East and North Africa, the UAE is consistently voted by fellow Arabs the number one most desirable place to work, live and visit.

And yet it's City fans that are deluded.

Said this countless times. Asked this countless times? What are they washing? Football is minuscule in their role in the World.
 
Just the thought that football authorities have the nerve to moralise about anything.

Wherever there is a vast amount of money, someone, somewhere will be up to no good. Add in virtually autonomous power, a system that few people understand and even less get to see behind-the-scenes of and you’ve got something of a nightmare on your hands. So it is that cases of corruption have...

I remember some years ago reds on social media suggesting Khaldoon should meet urgently with Ed Woodwood over some issue - so trivial I’ve forgotten what it was. At the time, Khaldoon was attending the opening of a $20bn nuclear power plant that his Company had built or financed in the Far East.
These clowns just don’t get it - they think football is a major industry. Morons.

I actually can't remember hearing a non Manc/Greater Manchester accent all day. I know there must have been supporters from other parts of the Blue family, in fact I saw a Barnsley Blues and Cheltenham & Gloucester Branch flag at some point. Everybody around me was South or North Manchester inside too. Manchester takeover from Manchester.

A journalist for the Hindustan Times wrote a decent piece in our defence despite making the Quatari error.

The line that caught my eye was;

'Sportswashing' is a fancy term to describe the white man's loss of hegemony.

Ouch.

Edit: it's the western arrogance that gets me. Businessmen from the Middle East are looking to make money by using their experience to build up a sector that has some community importance in the UK. That can't be right. They must be up to something. Oh yes, laundering the poor reputations that we think they have in the west judged against our own belief system. It's mindbogglingly judgemental. And completely arrogant.

If cunts had wings this twat would be squadron leader. I would urge all City fans to not give his fire the oxygen, fuel or heat it needs to burn. Don’t read or listen to his prejudiced, biased opinions and you can’t then enter into dialogue with the prick
Trust me he loves the attention he’s like some old queen hanging around public toilets hoping for a hook up. Ignore him he’ll move on
 
All you need know to about the media is there for all to see when they shout lies from the rooftops with maga-phones, and when caught out, apologise with a whisper in the basement.

There were over 200k City fans at the parade last Monday. I was one of them. The place was rammed. We couldn't get anywhere near Deansgate. The side roads leading to it were rammed also. Mossely St where the trams crossed the parade route was dangerously full as trams were literally squeezing past people. They had to let fans down the parade route, myself included to ease congestion. No chance of getting anywhere near the stage area either. I've seen some pictures circling of a previous parade in Deansgate where we had just two busses and there were much less fans, these are being peddled by desperate rags and scousers as being taken last Monday. Not the case. Last Monday the City centre was packed.

That is a very accurate account, exactly how I described it. Especially letting fans down the parade route to ease congestion as fans were rammed on the tracks. All the police were great bar 2 , a short arse scruffy male and a female who drew their batons against families with kids and completely harmless folk. Only one fan acting daft. All the other coppers used common sense after these 2 pillocks moved on.

We got told to move away from the tram tracks by a lone police woman , when it became clear to her that there was nowhere to go, she signalled to the stewards to let fans down thenparade route.

I think the worst one I saw was on Twitter on Tuesday morning. Some prize tit filming the empty square after the parade and saying “look - it’s completely empty, they literally have no fans” Bearing in mind, his film showed it going dark, it’s the middle of June and it’s daylight until 10pm, you didn’t exactly need to be Sherlock Holmes to realise he’d filmed it well after the parade had finished. How much of a sad, pathetic individual do you have to be to turn up to an event two hours after it’s finished and film it to say nobody’s there ??? Really ?? Could you be arsed ???

It's crazy that there was a clear path after the quarters and the semis.

None of the assorted shot gibbons and twat badgers have blocked me yet. Maybe I am too diplomatic when I interact with them.

I asked him did he not agree his friend Delaney should stop posting garbage and he wouldn't get any shit off city fans
Who quite frankly sick to death of the shit he regularly reports on the club
He has no idea how to engage, and blocked me-ran away again, bye Nick

The absolute fucking hypocrite. He had to be threatened with police and legal action over his harassment of me and a few other Blues, plus he was one of the group that complained to my then employer and tried to get me sacked.

And he's complaining about a few insults thrown at Delaney.

He's just doing that classic bully thing of crying victim as soon as he's confronted on his bollocks
