@sidlowe One of the most technically gifted players I've ever watched. Covered every blade of grass and the heart of a lion. Also an enormous shithouse when we needed him to be. A leader, he can control a game on his own. Came across as very down to earth and a genuinely nice guy.
@DomFarrell1986@div_1979@JackPittBrooke Remember some clever witted fan a few rows behind us saying something about the difficulty in polishing a turd after a few games
🇳🇴 Velkommen til Oslo!
A contingent from Once A Blue is currently visiting the capital of Norway as guests of @MCFCSCSB.
Our Scandinavian pals often visit the Etihad to watch the Blues, and they also love inviting ex-City stars over to beautiful Oslo.

City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak on ‘the charges’…
“Let me be as consistent as I’ve always been – until we have a ruling, I can’t say much.
“Once we have a ruling, believe me, Chris, we’re going to have a wonderful sit down together and I'll say everything I've wanted to say for the last three years.”
I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.
Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...
The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.
That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.
Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.
Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.
