I actually think Arsenal's 'dark arts' and how our set piece goals are 'ruining the game' have been spoken about more than the City verdict on mainstream media

Nigel Farage calls Andy Burnham a liar after Burnham states that there was indeed Russian interference in the Brexit referendum. He’s fully there isn’t he, Farage, actively working to undermine western democracy, Europe and the U.K. Farage is an actual traitor.

"SARS-CoV-2 is linked to “an unusually high level of ‘indiscriminate’ killing of T cells,”6 says Leitner, adding that this observation is “reminiscent of” measles, which can cause immune amnesia by depleting memory B cells"

Jeimy says that many infants and toddlers admitted to hospital with rare infections since 20225 weren’t yet born when pandemic restrictions were in place, and they therefore couldn’t be experiencing immunity debt. They were, however, likely exposed to SARS-CoV-2.

Wolfgang Leitner, chief of the Innate Immunity Section at the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), speculates that covid-19 may somehow impair the immune system’s “memory” of past infections, potentially making even healthy people more vulnerable to future pathogens. He wonders whether the virus leaves lasting scars on the immune system’s T cell defences. “But that’s just (my) hypothesis,” he emphasises in an email.

Immunity reset?

SARS-CoV-2 is linked to “an unusually high level of ‘indiscriminate’ killing of T cells,”6 says Leitner, adding that this observation is “reminiscent of” measles, which can cause immune amnesia by depleting memory B cells...

Chris Kavanagh, who famously sent off Declan Rice for lightly touching a football, decided he had the choice to not book Anderson for delaying a restart. But he had no choice in sending off Gravenberch for two fouls. Also, Kavanagh, it is important to note, does not support his local team, Man City.

Objectively there was more force in Shaw’s off-the-ball shove than there was in Bentancur’s reaction. But shoving you always get away with a yellow whereas putting your head to someone you’re always running the risk of a red.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

Awkward! 🙈 Man City are arguing the sponsorship money came from the Abu Dhabi government rather than their owners. In 2015, Etihad told the US government the Abu Dhabi government did NOT pay for its Man City sponsorship - Etihad said it funded it from its own liquidity. You couldn’t make it up. 💀

Etihad Airways’ 2015 submission to the US government says the assertion that the Abu Dhabi government paid for its Manchester City sponsorship was false, stating that Etihad funded the sponsorship from its own liquidity. The submission also says Etihad did not receive subsidies from the Abu Dhabi government and was financed through equity, shareholder and commercial loans.

Since Abramovich arrived in 2003 & Abu Dhabi Inc in 2008 Chelsea & Man Cty have won 13 out of the 23 league titles. Their previous combined total was 3. Chelsea in 1955 Man Cty in 1937 & 1968. They had no history of league success in any era. English football was sold 23 years ago.

All of this is true, but it also extends to this season. City, told they’d been found guilty, chucked another £450m into their squad; we had to sell Martinelli to generate income. We are trying to retain a title against the biggest cheats in history with a less-deep squad because we didn’t cheat.
