Thanjk you.

Manchester City are truely the greatest team... ever!!!
Well, their fans seem to think so, anyway.
The FA cup final was yesterday. Managed to not realise that until this morning. City are just such a meanlingless team that the "event" seemed to come and go with much fanfare.
Even going around Cork City last night there was not a City shirt in sight. Had the FA cup been won by Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U or even Chelsea you would see a noticeable number of shirts belonging to the winning team.
I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness
City fans in the replies are so blinkered - I wonder if that was us how would we react. The Suarez affair with Evra showed how much “club loyalty” can blind rationality.
I think at the time I bought into the whole “term of endearment” stuff and “lost in translation” etc. Looking back it was at best stupid and at worst profoundly racist

To be fair in those countries the term really is that without the slightest hint of racism on their part. Just dont do it in western countries.
Regardless... the obvious and systematic rule breaking is just another level.
I hate read some of their posts on reddit, and they make the most ridiculous of comparisons. Chelsea being one. As far as I am aware, under Abramovic they never broke any rules. They spent a lot of cash, but he seemed to make them sustainable when FFP came in. Yes they had a stupid amount of loans, which is pretty much what I would do on Football Manager myself. i would say that these are totally within the rules, as much as I hate them.
Also their stupid 10 year contracts they were offering out in order to bring their annual amortisation costs down... I dont have a problem with that. They may get a short term benefit, but they are lumbered with a long term committment to the players wages. I was kinda disappointed that they got banned as I thought it was funny they were creating a rod for their own backs with the ****e they signed.
ManU earn their income through legitimate means... although they spend it really badly.
Take City out of the equation and the league would have been quite competitive, with no one team dominating. City fans complainng that the top is a closed shop, and they only way they can compete is by spending. They are not "competing" they are totally outspending everyone else by a considerable amount, while also hiding wage costs (presumably with offshore payments). Its totally ridiculous.
In the beginning, Fowler created the Heaven and the Earth.
The last time someone had scored four times against Real Madrid in a La Liga game was 76 years ago. When Taty Castellanos did it in April, it attracted attention worldwide - but particularly in Manchester.
The 24-year-old Argentine starred as Girona beat Carlo Ancelotti's Real 4-2 - the highlight of an impressive debut season in Spain.
Castellanos is already well travelled, and his career path demonstrates the increasing global reach of City Football Group - the parent company of Premier League champions Manchester City.
City Football Group (CFG) has 13 clubs under its umbrella, with representation in Europe, South America, Asia, the United States and Australia. Castellanos has played for three of those clubs.
This is the story of one player, the global football model he personifies, and what it means for world football............
