Rene Meulensteen has a go at City again

[Ticket For Schalke]

“I know the owners, I've been in the Middle East myself, I know a little bit the mentality of the Arabs and it's keep on spending, spending, spending until they've got it, right.

Imagine him saying "I've been to Africa. The mentality of the blacks is to spend spend spend..."

Fucking racist prick. Why are the media so tolerant of this kind of racism?

Or "I've been to the USA. The mentality of the Americans is to spend spend spend..."

Doesn't sound so racist now does it,that is because it isn't.

The rest of what he said is as hypocritical as it comes but based on what he said a racist he isn't.

USA is a nation, Arabs are a race, bit of a difference.

 

[Groke]

He gave the interview to Red News - so that's where the mirror go to get their material. No bias in the press though

 

[nijinsky's fetlocks]

'City Ruining Football', blah blah blah.
'Unsustainable Spending', blah blah blah.
'Nasty Arab Oil Money', blah blah blah.
'End Of Western Civilisation As We Know It',blah blah blah.

And not a single fuck was given by me.

 

[Neil McNab's Tash]

This very punchable chap was sat in the boxes behind us for the Southampton game.

If this had only come out sooner, i and my fellow spectators in the surrounding area of the stadium could have had a discussion with him!

The "Arabs" are not a different race, either, although royle seems to have used a very shit analogy.

But this is a rag bashing thread, so get back to it.

Race is a bit of an contentious term but certainly 'Arab' is a description of ethnicity. The demonym for someone from the UAE is 'Emirati'. Arab is never a description of nationality.

'City Ruining Football', blah blah blah.
'Unsustainable Spending', blah blah blah.
'Nasty Arab Oil Money', blah blah blah.
'End Of Western Civilisation As We Know It',blah blah blah.

And not a single fuck was given by me.

My thoughts exactly.
After last year's 'No team spirit blah blah blah' I thought it can't get worse. But this is just incredible, the new low. Unhealthy obsession with other club's life.

The dogs bark, but the caravan goes on.

 

[pfazz]

Why do people that have no connection whatsoever with anything 'City ' feel the need to come out in the media and spout such ill informed shite? It's not as if twats such as this have a well researched and informed opinion of the subject, they generally know three things less than fuck all.

'City Ruining Football', blah blah blah.
'Unsustainable Spending', blah blah blah.

Not even a crafty tug?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

It is so telling that you virtually never get any officials or players from our club talking about united in a negative way.

Again and again we hear of the likes of Meulensteen, Smalling, Rooney, Gill, Scholes and of course Ferguson make disparaging, disrespectful and wholly incorrect digs at our club.

Does it bother me? I guess it must to some extent, but not for the comments themselves, as it shows that they're worried, but because if the boot was on the other foot and it was the likes of Khaldoon or Vinny or Mancini making these types of comments, the press would be all over it saying that City lack 'class' and 'they don't know how to handle themselves'.

It is the way they can act with apparent impunity which really fucks me off.
