Mahrez 5 goals 11 assists for City last year. Yet, buh bye. He’s never been particularly fast so arguably still near his prime. He’s the type of player that will shine in that league I have no interest in watching.

Kind of good option off the bench but will miss his penalties going into row 20.
A twist on the old philosophy classic: if a player shines in a league that nobody watches, does anyone give a fuck?

You can spend the most money building the best stadium ever known to mankind but as we know there are some things in life money can’t buy baby, real fans happens to be one….the fans make the stadium baby so to me it’s just a whole load of resources on worthlessness.
I dont know when the quote was made, but there one from Milner talking about how the league win at Liverpool meant more to him than his titles at City. Even accounting for the (covid enforced) lack of crowd when Hendo lifted the championship trophy he said the atmosphere and feeling was better then than his other wins.
My dad posted it on facebook seemingly not understanding that it was a dig at City

This is another face of sports washing. This is a totally unnecessary redevelopment. So, why are they doing it? To oil some influential people with hundreds of millions. And it won’t break any rules.

Equivalent of a penis extension.
It is as though they getting it prepared to host some sort of prestigious final at some future point…
The CL maybe, or something else 
Yeh, an event that would actually fill the stadium.
