Matthew Syed poking the bear.

Just noticed you'd posted it @dennislawsbackheel

Haha, the sarcastic fucker, he’s definitely had a cease-and-desist warning!

Lovely to read that.

I think for a lot of Blues it’s taken some of the shine off our incredible achievements.

Not for me. I never once thought about the charges as we beat Inter, or Madrid, Or Villa on the last day, or Spurs just a couple of weeks ago or United in the Fa Cup Final, or United at home every year, or united away every year. I hope it hasn't for you.

Please don't click on it blues...playing right into his greasy palms... stoking the ire of red tops and blues is a win- win for the pathetic, ping-pong cheating ogre

I'm not sure that my archive link has the same connection, but I may be wrong.

Does the Table Tennis Cheats article call us "Rats" again the slimy wanker?

Doesn't this **** owe us an apology he promised should we be cleared at CAS?

I’m not sure anyone can evaluate whether cease and desist letters have been sent (and consequently worked) if we don’t know who they’ve been sent to!

I think it’s pretty clear the letters weren’t sent. The coverage has been worse since weekend.

This disgusting article by that twat Syed is in today’s Times.
Basically suggesting City cheat at everything.
Read and be appalled.

Silky on the pitch, super silks off it – all part of Man City’s ‘magic’

Silky on the pitch, super silks off it – all part of Man City’s ‘magic’

In the spirit of celebrating all things City we should look at the magic that infuses the club – not just on the pitch but in so many other parts of its operation

www.thetimes.co.uk

(four of their top ten sponsors are linked to the UAE, including the stadium and shirt sponsor Etihad)

So that means the majority of the club’s main sponsors aren’t linked to the UAE.

Therefore, if these non-UAE sponsorships are in line with the UAE-linked sponsors then they must be fair value/legitimate.

Syed has clearly started writing the article thinking “I’ll include the fact all City’s sponsors are UAE linked, ha ha ha, gotcha!”

He’s then looked at the data and it hasn’t told him what he wanted it to. Yet he’s forged on ahead with that angle regardless, which is just the height of laziness.

if you’re going to have a pop at discrediting the club at the least put a bit effort in.

A lamentable article, but unsurprising given it’s been written by a failed table tennis player.

Does he swear he’s Elvis??

He does, but he’s a liar.

Khaldoons weight loss?? Anyone concerned about it? He looks ill to me, hope it’s nothing to do with him worrying about these charges??

I just want this whole episode putting to bed once and for all, it’s getting to the point now where rival fans will not be happy not to just be relegated to the bottom leauge but to actually do a bury fc and go out of business with the shutters pulled,

Maybe he just got fitter, stop worrying lol

Also from The Times today:

Football regulator may be shelved for now due to general election:
"Football Governance Bill must go through by next Thursday after Rishi Sunak’s surprise announcement of July 4 polling day, but it may be delayed until next parliament"
"...Some hope that Labour would look more kindly on a block on nation states owning clubs and change the clause stating that the regulator’s decisions on owners and directors “must also have regard to the [government’s] foreign and trade policy objectives”.

I think it’s pretty clear the letters weren’t sent. The coverage has been worse since weekend.

Really how's that, the coverage has definitely changed. The letters are to stop the lies, you will never stop the coverage.
