Need to keep an eye on that slimy **** Woodward.

He's trying to work his way into politics and meeting in secret with everyone from Boris to editor of The Sun.

He's after a position of sporting influence at decision making level, I wonder why...

I await the promises of high spend on the UK armed forces and the eventual overspending on water bombs instead.....never change Woowar

I know it's so laughable.
Them winning the EL with their 500 million 1st 11 is like playing Fifa, starting in League 2 with Messi, Ronaldo, Dias etc in your team.
They had to be complete failures to get into the EL in the first place.

Then they have beat:
A very average Spanish mid table team Real Sociedad 4-0 on aggregate
A very average, old, Milan team missing its best player 2-1 on aggregate
A poor Grenada team 4-0 on aggregate including another extremely soft penalty
And 6-2 up against a poor Roma team, who collapsed with injuries and another dive for a penalty for 4-2
None of the above would finish even close to the top half in the PL

Teams finishing 3rd in the CL should not drop into the EL in my opinion. Its harder for them not to win it than win it

It's exactly what it's meant for, unfortunately.

A safety net for one of Uefa's big fish should they drop out.

Scum, what about the policeman who had his face slashed, no mention from the press or anyone else, no apology or anything

If our fans had done that they’d still be showing it on sky sport news now! With reporters round at his house interviewing him sat on his couch his wife sat by his side holding his hand and telling everyone how city have ruined his life!!

Are we that worried?

If Khaldoon wanted a meeting with Boris he wouldn't be coming up with excuses to bump into him during another meeting, he'd just pick up the phone and tell him where and when.

Get that but was the person who rushed through premier ffp and then changed it to help his team out?!

I don't understand why they hate the Glazers so much. OK, the Glazers are taking money out of the club, but so would any investor. The Rags were not bought at a bargain price (unlike City) so there's less chance of making money on the capital side - having said that, the Glazers' ownership has increased the capital value of the Rags quite significantly.

The Glazers have made significant funds available for transfers and wages. It's not their fault - at least not directly - if their employees have made bad value purchases and agreed to silly contracts like the stupid money given to de Gea, a declining asset at best. With better judgement/management they would be in a better place. Unfortunately, their fans seem to demand big names and big money signings, even when better value could be achieved. Often they seem to have made a signing just to prove they can outbid City, without considering value for money at all.

The only 'better' owner than the Glazers would be one with stupid amounts of money who did not want an immediate cash return. That means someone very like HH Sheikh Mansour, and they would hate that. Wouldn't they? Billionaires with the morals of Gandhi and no interest in getting money back are few and far between.

They hate them because they've taken away the illusions that they had about their long-held entitlement to win things.

If the boot was on the other foot and an ex City manager was doing that in the Lowry I would’ve been ashamed of him.
It’s a dreadful thing to do

I hope the vile piss stained old bastard treads in dog shit every day for the rest of his life

My usual go to insult is:

'I hope your Jap's eye heals up.'

This Sir is a thing of beauty! (Doffs cap)

Wouldn't that, essentially, be a home match for the vermin?
