@davidyelland @ManCity Haven’t looked at the data recently, but when I edited https://t.co/52zLlvfgad Arsenal stories were always the best read. Perhaps they just know their readership?

ps - No Arsenal fan, as you know, but shouldn’t we all support the English team in Europe 😉

@Beulah12 Superb news …

[Richard Fletcher @fletcherr]

@davidyelland The great selling points of the Premier League is that it is competitive. Palace can (and still occasionally does) beat Man City. An owner who doesn’t stick to the mutually agreed spending rules damages that competitiveness and the league.

PS - Football was not invented in 1992

@davidyelland Newspapers aren’t perfect - but they are far more meritocratic than the PR industry

So my appeal for my and my son’s season ticket renewal failed. Kicked out after 50 years of supporting the club. Appalling by City. So upset @ManCity

@davidyelland @ManCity I am in awe of your capacity to present City - a club funded by billions of petro dollars that has even by the most generous interpretation bent the rules - as an underdog that is picked on by the “London” media. Enjoy the run in …

#TOTCRY - 33”

As everyone can clearly see, Ismaila Sarr’s nose is offside, so we can’t allow the goal or a big 6 club to get relegated

It is a shame @TorstenBell has switched off comments. Because contrary to his claims of “clickbait” many believe that this is exactly what the government is doing …

[Torsten Bell @TorstenBell]

Luckily… the government isn’t directing how pension funds are investing. Ludicrous click bait framing that needs calling out.

#CPFC fans I know this is a massive ask but if you could RT the below tweet and get the applause going for the big man in the 62nd minute tomorrow night it would be massively appreciated ❤️🦅 💙 @CPFC

[MCFC Fans Foodbank Support @MCFCfoodbank]

£2,250 + VAT per season these seats cost. £2,700.

They're forcibly evicting 500 season ticket holders from behind the goals to get these in. Shame.
