Oh , Bugger Forest Green then ��

I know they’re vegan, tree hugging, ecologically friendly etc but I’m sure they draw the line at buggery, still each to his own.

Two of the European Super League breakaways mentioned in this thread and, naming no names, with some 'admiration and affection' too. That should be a 24hr ban.

Seriously, have we all forgotten what Manchester City (and Liverpool) were going to do a few months ago?

As for Ashley or the Sheik - that's as horrific as boarding an Etihad flight wearing a Sports Direct tracksuit.

Give me a vegan pasty any day!

Re: man city

That’s, more or less, what I’m implying, it was needed, someone to unsettle those three, the first 19 seasons, only Blackburn bucked the trend. In the 10 seasons since Man City first won it, there’s been five different champions (no Arsenal). So yes, I’d like to see an Everton, West Ham or the like take the baton up now. But, unfortunately, it would take huge investment, but hey ho, that’s the way of things now (I say now, the wealthiest clubs have always been at the pinnacle really). But wouldn’t it be great to have 9,10,11 clubs battling it out. If it hadn’t have been for Man City winning the lottery would these last ten seasons still have seen Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal sharing the title around, who knows? If it had what a stale state the top flight would have been in. One thing though, as I’ve mentioned, Man City’s owners, as well as rejuvenating the club, have also poured a fair amount into the local community. They put their money where their mouth is while across the city the American owners are even content to see Old Trafford itself crumble.

I think man city getting let off the hook for this makes it a lot less likely that anyone else will break into the top 4 in the next few years.
if they get hammered and the billionaires lose interest then it's better for everyone

Be on your guard if you’re intending getting one at Forest Green, rumours of sodomy there, if you believe Life on Mars

But is it? Without Sam Hammam’s dodgy money, then Vincent Tan’s input would we still be pissing about in the lower divisions or worse, playing at a derelict Ninian Park? We spent ridiculous money as a third tier side, £1.7m on Peter Thorne, £1m on Kav, £900,000 on Andy Campbell, Christ, even £400,000 on David Hughes. This was twenty years ago! As fans, we didn’t complain, well I didn’t, I loved us being high rollers (for our status). Money men will always get on board with football and if it’s your club and it brings success, the majority will enjoy the ride.

I'm pretty sure he was overcharged!
