According to the bbc gossip, psg are preparing an £80m bid for rashford, f*ck me did they not see him play against us 2 weeks ago (ignoring his goal).

Imagine replacing Kylian Mbappe with Marcus Rashford.

Paris would become the City of Fights.

Imagine replacing Kylian Mbappe with Marcus Rashford.

Nope, I can't, especially for £80m.

Just so I've got your argument straight, you're upset because Brexiteer Tory Tax Exile, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and former athletes and ex-Tory politician Seb Coe have begun the process of creating publicity trying to drum up support to receive some Levelling Up money from the Tory government along with private sponsors/investors.
This is somehow the fault of "Burnham's mob" because the mayor of Greater Manchester has said that they'd support and welcome any kind of investment in Greater Manchester.
The crux of your distress at this situation is because City dealt with Manchester City Council and not "Burnham's mob" (who were elected in 2017 when Greater Manchester become one of the first devolved areas in the country) to build the Etihad Campus (opened in 2014, 3 years before the devolution of Greater Manchester) or were involved in the building of the original Sportcity development which regenerated the part of East Manchester that now holds the Etihad (originally built as the City of Manchester Stadium using government funds from the Sport England initiative) which opened in time for the start of the Commonwealth Games in 2002, a whopping 15 years before "Burnham's mob" had any say over Greater Manchester.
You feel that no money should go to Trafford as there's already plenty of private money in new developments already there, much like all the New Islington developments in Beswick, but you're unhappy about what this non-existent, hypothetical money has been used for despite it not existing or being allocated to any project that may or may not happen or exist.
However, all these hypothetical situations are all the fault of "Burnham's mob", have I got that correct?

RAG

That's a shame as I genuinely wanted to know why you came to the conclusions you did.
I was hoping that if there were any factual inaccuracies in what I said you'd point them out so I could learn and grow, I'm assuming that there were some untrue statements in my first sentence that you have taken issue with causing you to be offended so O apologise for that. I think the modern adage of "facts don't care about your feelings" would come into play here so feel free to point out any misinformation I may have been taken in by.
I'm a firm believer that the free and frank sharing of information allows us to grow as a society, particularly when people are basing their opinions on false information so thought I may have missed or misunderstood some information that you have.
I understand that people don't always want to have their boundaries tested and need their safe spaces though so will leave you to your afternoon.
Surely we can all agree though that even if the greatest stadium the world's ever seen was built in Trafford the team that plays there would still be dogshit and 95% of the people visiting would be cunts.

Definitely a RAG, carry on...

Is the famous chippy Harry ramsdens still open around there?

Since they've agreed that the swamp is being demolished and that they want tax payers money to build "The Wembley of the North" I wonder if we could help save some money on the demolish. I know about 50,000 blues who'd turn up with a Hammer to knock the shit hole down!

It's falling down by itself
It doesn't require any additional labour

Paris would become the City of Fights.

Their Bridge of Sighs would be renamed the Bridge of "Fuck Me!"

Several of Hojlund's team-mates were reported to be unhappy over his decision to be interviewed by the channel's owner and presenter Mark Goldbridge because they have been critical of United players.

Goldbridge – real name Brent Di Cesare

The United Stand have since received death threats warning Goldbridge that he is 'a dead man walking' and threatening to harm him if he turns up at Old Trafford.

The messages on social media mentioned other members of staff and the exact location of the studio. Police were called out on Tuesday while security has also been stepped up.

In a statement to Mail Sport, Goldbridge said: 'I totally understand that football is a passionate and divisive sport, and that people are free to decide and have an opinion on what content they consume.

'However, the pile-on some of our staff were subject to over the weekend was incredibly sad to witness. To be threatening people's lives yet again evidences the vile pack mentality that exists on social media.'

That's right. The bastards.
