Reason No. 398,285 why it's not good to have your club owned by a Petro-Oligarch

Think that was mostly down to Cummings.

Aye, seems to have been ousted for the wife and thrown a few spanners along the way.

Wisdom comes with age. Men outcompete women typically at the high end of business/leadership.
In natural circumstances you'd expect an older man to be the most likely winner to lead a nation.

Boris had a good political instinct following basic data analysis, a shrewd operator too by marginalising the Brexit Party, and using Farages work/interests against him successfully. Not exactly made of the right stuff after winning power.

Quite a statement CCTV . Surely not always true on the age and the sex. And Did Russia help Brexit? Boris is a clever idiot !

1 How so ?

3 Brexit will help the British. Blaming Russian mind control for election results seems to be one for the gullible. Maybe you or 19 could document how and what effect in the off topic.

4 Says a lot about the landscape and competition. Hands down winner of the last UK election

Theres really not much doubt about the Russian influence on Brexit. Its blind or stupid to deny it.
Read about Carole Cadwalledr, see the Led by Donkeys take on it too, there's lots of information that's not being reported because of Russian media influence.
This Govt are neck deep in Russian corruption.

How does Brexit help Britain? Its costing billions, there's not one positive to come from it yet.

See that at the top of the screen?

The bestest, most commercially splendiferous, honestly we sell out every week, Financial Fair Play adhering team had to cover a whole load of seats with a flag because they can't fill their allocation for an FA Cup semi-final against us.

Sell out every week, closed the season ticket waiting list a decade ago because it was a total waste of everyone’s time going on it, I might have mentioned how long I’ve been on it….
The ground is getting better and better, as is the training ground and the squad… wow best squad we have ever had in our history.
What a time to be a Liverpool fan.

Absolutely Miller. Only problem is never bring able to get tickets.
I actually got offered a ticket for today earlier this week. I would have been on my own and straight off a nightshift though so a total no go at such short notice.

Big believer in "credit where due" - as much as I think the overwhelming majority of Man City fans are entitled, bitter arseholes, it's only right to highlight the "good Eggs" of the World and these lads from the MCFC Foodbank certainly seem that -

"Dear Ferran Soriano,

We are writing in regard to the unfortunate reception given to the Hillsborough anniversary minutes’ silence by a small minority of City fans in this weekend’s FA Cup semi final.

The appalled reaction of the vast majority of fans, as well as the quick condemnation by the club and Pep Guardiola, was encouraging and well received. However, we all know that this will not solve the problem, and we believe that dealing with it should be a high priority for the club.

We are not writing to condemn some fans, or simply to express outrage. Instead, we would like to offer suggestions which can lead to a more positive future for all.

With this in mind, we would ask City to take the lead on this issue and use the considerable influence it has within the game and over its fans to officially support the following two initiatives:

The Real Truth Legacy Project - a campaign to get education about Hillsborough added to the National Curriculum.

A Hillsborough Law - to introduce a statutory duty of candour on public servants during all forms of public inquiry and criminal investigation.

By doing so, Manchester City can join Liverpool FC, Everton FC and other clubs in their calls to ensure that the legacy of Hillsborough is not forgotten, and that the lies which caused so much pain to families cannot be repeated.

The rivalry on the pitch with Liverpool has never been stronger than it is right now. Off the pitch however, it should be a different story. Despite calls for a rivalry defined by hatred and aggression in certain sections of the media, there is so much more to be achieved through mutual respect, understanding and friendship.

We do not claim to represent Manchester City fans, either officially or unofficially, and never have. However, we are well placed to see the benefits of working with and alongside Liverpool fans. It is in this capacity that we are writing to you today.

Through collaboration with the Merseyside branch of Fans Supporting Foodbanks, we have provided emergency help to foodbanks across both Greater Manchester and Merseyside, produced and supplied thousands of items of PPE across the region during the covid pandemic, launched the Right to Food campaign to end food poverty in the UK, and much more.

More than anything, the friendships made have enriched our lives as City fans and shown us that football rivalry, even one of such a historic intensity and quality as the current one with Liverpool, can be understood and experienced in an entirely different, more respectful way.

We value the friendship and comradeship we have found with Liverpool fans extremely highly, and believe that City fans across the board deserve to have similarly positive experiences.

We ask and urge Manchester City to support the above proposals and lead our fans and the global City community on this issue, for the benefit of all.

Yours sincerely,

MCFC Fans Foodbank Support"

Nice one Sid. Shows why you can’t make sweeping judgments about people. People come in many styles, we are all different, some are good and some are not.

Thanks again.

Nice to hear/see. Would be great if it came to pass.
