Newcastle , Blackburn as well. Despite the fact that newcastle are saudi owned now. Newcastle always had a much larger fanbase in the UK than City.

I recall the Rangers debate but even as an Englishman I didnât and donât still have an understanding of non league scottish football. I could google it but how did that work? did they relegate a team and bring no one up? or did an extra side get promoted to the SPL?

I think you might be confusing these things with an independent panel who deliberated for years and have documented cheating in thousands of pages of evidence

I do feel sorry for the kids who support Man City due to their superstar players and their success. At my sonâs school there was one parent in particular who took enormous pleasure in goading these boys and trolling them. Theyâre only 9. Several were in tears.
And no, Iâm not proud of it.

My sonâs friends (aged 7) have been trying to get him to support City since he declared for Liverpool. Weâre enjoying the goading

Rangers went into administration and were kicked out of the Scottish Premier League, which was a different entity to the Scottish League at that point. As they werenât relegated as such, but expelled, there was no obligation for anyone to take them on. As I recall, they were eventually taken on in Division 3 (4th tier) and all other leagues moved a team up.

I think this is the point City say âhold my pintâ.
Given how utterly, utterly bang to rights they are on the investigation, maybe the reason they are digging in and willing to take bigger sanctions than they would have got had they cooperated, is that there is much worse stuff to be uncovered.

If you look back when they were in the third tier, City used to average 28,000 fans, so I would say that was their core support. Their last season at Maine Road was about 35,000 and 40,000 prior to their UAE takeover. They were traditionally a well supported club, but itâs anyoneâs guess now as the average attendance is stated as 99% of capacity regardless of however many empty seats people see.

I donât give a hoot the effect grinding these cunts into the ground has on the âproductâ. Itâs already corrupt and has been for years.
Anyone feeling sorry for any of their older fans go and have a look on Bluemoon. They are deluded beyond belief and refuse to accept theyâve done anything wrong.
Theyâve also turned their attention to the upcoming game at Anfield, imagining all sorts of atrocities from our fans with all the usual insults and bile thrown in.
These cunts need wiping off the face of the Earth.

Not to detract from all worldwide fans, but you just have to look at some of the absolute nonsense online fanzine pages, and the comments on them to gauge their knowledge & understanding of the game.
True story, which Iâve told beforeâŚ
Young Indonesian I worked with declared his wholehearted devotion to LFC, said he was a diehard fan who watched all our matches.
He then followed it up by saying he was getting the new kit with Wellbeck 15 on the back.

This is fucking mad from the UAE folksâŚSo which one is true? The sworn statement under Oath to the US government or the one that they are trying to run with in the PL appeal?
Or just give them away to students.
Kind of like not sending off a player in a top of the league clash because it will âruin the spectacle â

so if the government loans an amount to the airline , the airline can use that money for whatever its running costs are, but that wouldnât be seen as paying for the sponsorship directly? I think there was a period of time were the govt loaned them 5bn.. but i dont know if that was usd or ÂŁ. a loophole i guess
What do you think the UAE diplomatic nuclear button is? âIf you punish City, weâll deport all the British twats from Dubai and they become your problem?â
Then again, I suppose our nuclear button is actual nukes.
