Their investment into gentrification (not regeneration) of parts of Manchester, is the same reason the likes of Escobar used to pay for a village football pitch. It's cheap to them and buys useful idiots. "Look what they've done for the community" is you acting as their human shield.

Andy Burnham 'really concerned' if Man City owners sell up after rule breaches

If you love satire and want a bloody good laugh, this Man City statement is for you! Overwhelming evidence to show they're innocent, but couldn't be arsed to hand it over or cooperate. Who'd have thought being owned by an absolute monarchy who abhor the rule of law could do such a thing?

Club Statement

Manchester City FC is both disappointed and surprised by the opinion of the Premier League Commission, that has been published today.

Dead City season 3 or "Gimmicks Galore." In true TWD style, they decided they needed a character to have abrupt turns in behaviour to drive plot. Negan was pivoting so sharply, surprised he didn't get whiplash. Ep 6 in particular was a writers exercise that took the piss out of the audience.

Rodri... Now Mancini... I expect another well rehearsed but disingenuous cry of innocence from Guardiola. They know what they got was through deliberate circumvention. Wipe them from their records, render their medals meaningless and spoil those memories. They knew the money they were taking.

There's a step at Argyle between Blocks C and D which nearly took out three people. Shins were in danger. It's not as successful as the step I sat next to at Villa Park in '92. That took out a then £100 worth of food and drink. Burgers, after chips, after tea all went a flying. #pafc

Trigger used to keep a team pinned back, partially because he would frustrate the hell out of centre backs and they'd foul him. Pepple is very capable of that, is more athletic than Trigger but he's inconsistent at it. He needs to be an utter pain in the ass for 90 mins. #pafc

Half-time musings: In a race, our defence is easier to skin than a rabbit with a zip on its back. Reverted partially to dropping easily on contact and going all doe eyed begging for free-kicks. Why can't our strikers head? Do they close their eyes? Their eyebrows at weird angles? #pafc

Maybe this is the poor dude's problem, his peak was in that type of academy style football. It's too easy for them these games, as we saw with Finn last season. They're also not an especially good barometer as to where they are. Getting over the bridge is the tricky part. #pafc

Pepple enters Argyle's 100 top scorers. Granted 22 is enough to get in, but here a Canadian joins two Englishmen, a Scotsman, a Welshman, and a New Zealander. Side note - if you can get hold of copies of Garry Nelson's diaries, I recommend. Far more insightful than the usual football guff. #pafc

Irow is now only one goal away from being our second highest goal scorer for players whose surname begins with I. He's 16 away from the top scoring Billy Ingham (1907-1909). Neil Illman, he's coming for ya! Unless Bradly Ibrahim starts banging them in. Which would complicate things a little. #pafc
