[Nocturnal Submission]

Infantino wishes that was true

Heh!

[EIM]

I'm reminded of the United For Sale Jim Ratcliffe banner that put me in such a foul mood that I didn't go to the Liverpool game earlier this season. Fans championing lawyers and billionaires is such a bleak state of affairs. Real dystopian, PL end-game behaviour.

[slackster]

Took me a minute to get that banner. First thoughts was it was a mis-spelt reference to Arsenal’s current wobble, rather than a nod towards Man City’s new star brief signing.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Did that replace the "Manchester thanks Sheikh Mansour" one that was there when we won our way back into the league?

That's still there, albeit updated to reference the number of years since he arrived.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Sickening.

[EIM]

HHahaha. Oh man.

It'll surprise no one to discover that this was paid for by the club.

[Hot Pepsi]

Aye. They could've done all the good stuff without doing the bad.

Yeah, I was going to suggest that if they cared about Manchester, they could have done all of that without cheating at football.

[ursus arctos]

I expected that they had outsourced it to one of their Emirati "partners"

Has Pannick commented? I wouldn't expect him to, but would also expect him to be absolutely mortified

How do you see it ending?

[EIM]

How do you see it ending?

Kind of like The Last of Us, but without the mushrooms.

You would expect - I didn't even know who it was referring to. It is deeply strange.

Where did you see that?

[caja-dglh]

My thoughts would be "who else is going to pay for a banner that size and quality"?

[George C.]

Sickening.

Why?

[Lang Spoon]

Don't be obtuse.

[George C.]

It's only a banner.

[caja-dglh]

It is a 30ft banner in support of a lawyer defending the club against cheating allegations. It is really rather a bizarre thing to do, even if it has a slightly amusing musical riff. The general vibes from it is making a joke out of it all.

[Third rate Leszno]

I'm not sure that TonTon wasn't referring to the banner smarming up to Sheikh Mansour.

[DCI Harry Batt]

They're both sickening.

[EIM]

Where did you see that?

I didn't. I was told.

[EIM]

The 1894 group who organise City's choreographed weirdness were approached by the club who wished to make a sizable donation to their fund for a flag.

[E10 Rifle]

If they cared about Manchester ...

They don't care about Manchester. Why on earth would they?

[Oldelpaso]

Its an embarrassment. Fostering a siege mentality has increased the volume in the ground, but has brought some spectacularly bad takes along with it.

[Hot Pepsi]

They don't care about Manchester. Why on earth would they?

That’s my point.
