....oh dear
What a glorious few days to be a plastic City fan.
What a bunch of entitled cunts. And to round it off they have to live in Manchester.

Hmmmm
They'll probably trace financial irregularities back to the Walker transfer and dock us 15 points instead.
Blood Money 1
Respectful and tolerant values -100(x 1 million)
A football club owned and run by an entire country, That has spent more money than any football club in (British?)football history has just won the league - not really a shock is it ?
Stop and think about what this means and it becomes ridiculously depressing. There is no “achievement” to be marvelled at. There is no respect to be given. There is nothing to offer but grudging acceptance and bewilderment that it’s been allowed to happen at all. Buy the air and no one else can breathe.
..:.now indulge me as I over step the fun mark and point out that the despots who run City deserve scorn and shaming not praise and cheers.
They run City football group and they run a country. A country where if a woman is rapped they can ( and often do) end up in prison!
A country where a gay person can be sentenced to death or if lucky something like a minimum 14 years jail term.
A country that routently indulges in such punishments as flogging and stoning, considering both to be legitimate punishments to many “mundate” crimes, like kissing in public for example.
A tip. Should you be unlucky enough to become a domestic worker in UAE remember to be always be positive and thankful - as long as City are winning you can forget your troubles and no one will care that your “boss” won’t allow you even any basic human rights and you will essentially be slave and likely to be raped as and when someone more wealthy than you decides it’s your time. Take comfort that those whom allow that to happen to you are paying Ya Ya Toure £250k a week for nothing.
Oh and don’t be a migrant worker either, that’s probably even worse a fate than domestic servitude in UAE, even Joe Hart’s subsided wages won’t help you come to terms with what your government allows to happen to you.
And if you don’t love City enough the rulers can always dabble in a little Forced Disappearance and Torture, it’s an option to ensure you don’t all fail to clap along to Kyle Walker and his mates as they count their beans and tell us hard hard they “worked” to win.
I do not feel it is possible to separate the UAE Government and their regime from the owners of Man City. As they are essentially the same thing. And frankly I believe in tolerance, respect, justice and human rights. None of which I recognise in their systems. I am not saying I am right or hold a moral high ground, I get things wrong and to those I am likely to be poorly judged but if I were to accept that all these people stand for is absolutely fine provided they spend vast amounts of money a high profile western vanity project, I do not feel I can be comfortable with that acceptance.
An investment designed to legitimatise a regime and country that should, in theory, be utterly rejected by anyone holding progressive and tolerant “western” / humanitarian values, is not an investment I believe should be so quickly praised.
Blue moon. Choke on it. I despise you.

Had a bit of a surprise this morning. I was pouring out my Bran Flakes and a Man City season ticket dropped into the bowl.
Apparently I can redeem it for a £5 Amazon voucher which is brilliant because I need some more plastic shit from China.

They've got a thread on Blue moon forum on champions league tickets, travel plans and hotel/ bar arrangements
