International big 6 fans GENUINELY think staying up into the early hours of the morning to watch completely optional football matches somehow entitles them to take away tickets to European games over the loyal, local fans.
🤢🚮
Everyone heard the racist chants from Israeli fans towards an Irish player, and now comes the predictable attempt to cast themselves as the victims.
Shameless.
John spent years growing up separated and isolated from others who viewed his Tourette’s as an issue they didn’t want to be around. After making a film about it, lauded by the establishment, the establishment have also decided Tourette’s is an issue they don’t want to be around.
Etihad threatening to sue. UAE reportedly intimating that UK investment could be pulled. A Prime Minister couching any criticisism. If this sorry saga doesn't convince you that state ownership of football clubs should never be allowed, nothing ever will.
Bloomberg warned weeks ago that political pressure would be applied from the UK to the UAE, and it is happening in front of your eyes. This is the very definition of sportswashing and why nation states should not be allowed to own football clubs. Andy Burnham cannot interfere.
Yeah… it’s not looking good. I knew it would eventually become a political battle between the UAE and the UK.
The UAE have started threatening and blackmailing the UK, and the Prime Minister is starting to fold.
It would be a massive shame if the biggest cheats in English football history managed to escape punishment because of political pressure.
It would completely damage the image of the English game.
This is a defining moment for English football. The fans need to come together and fight this war.
If the UK folds to UAE political pressure and City escapes punishment, people will never look at English football’s governing bodies the same way again.
It could even have serious consequences for the Premier League’s global credibility and viewership.
