Off to the beautiful Sicilia on the morrow. But currently sat with a tea, reading a book, with the dogs lying about around my person and wondering whether to go or not. Holidays are great and all that. But you have to leave your dogs at home. And they’re better.

Hit singles from the 80s that haven't had breathy acoustic versions done for adverts "now down to last three or four", warn experts.

So their assertion now is that this additional sponsorship money didn’t come from the owners, it came from the Abu Dhabi government. Who they’ve always denied had any direct dealings in the club. Is that meant to be better? Does that douse the flames at all?

Andy Burnham 'really concerned' if Man City owners sell up after rule breaches
The prime minister compares the allegations against Man City to the plight of his own club Everton.

On City for the last time (honest 😬). Reckon they have two options: 1. Admit to the wrong-doing and take their punishment. Which would potentially garner some acceptance. Or 2. Take the case to court, which they could win. But the club will never get respect for anything it’s done or will do again.

Shane @thistimesurely.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
The only way City get any respect back? Accept the findings, say sorry, give back the trophies, toddle off to the NLN and supporters insist the owners fuck off. At the exact moment all that is achieved, I’ll consider the slate wiped clean.

And it’s not ‘9 years of wrongdoing’. Everything that came after isn’t there, but for the cheating. It’s 15 years. And the rest of their existence.

It seems apt that Manchester City fans adopted the Poznan, a celebration where everybody looks the other way.

Are we meant to be finding sympathy for the fans that have been taking the piss for 10 years (whilst knowing they were cheating)? The so-called ‘kings of Manchester’? This City is blue? Nope. They know what they are, and have known all along what they are. But they never questioned any of it.

Shane @thistimesurely.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Those City fans that were still insisting it was all worth it, will be reconsidering I reckon. 15 years of glory based entirely on cheating, in exchange for ceasing to exist as a credible football club. Hardly a price worth paying you’d have thought. Not got an ounce of sympathy for them.

Man City’s staggering rule-breaking has left the Premier League with only one option
Found guilty on all but one of more than 100 charges, the club’s behaviour casts doubt over an entire era of football. How, Miguel Delaney asks, can they be allowed to remain in the top flight?

Personally not able to give any credit to those (few) City fans that have now found it within themselves to criticise their owners. They’ve known this was coming for years and have only decided to be critical now? They were happy to ignore it and hope it’d go away. Own it fuckers.

Concerted, deliberate, calculated cheating is the conclusion. A Premier League heist. So throw the book at them and run the owners out of town. And Manchester City supporters should want to lead that movement. Column (free to read) inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Throw the book at Man City - and force the owners out
The verdict leaves City facing questions that money and bluster can no longer drown out

At least Burnham, as a football fan, is more likely to tell Abu Dhabi to get fucked if they try and make things political.

‘Red cartel’. Does anyone know what it actually means, and what advantage it’s meant to provide? By what metric would United, Liverpool & Arsenal not be the main contenders in a ‘fair system’? The only reason they wouldn’t be is if some kind of handicap system was introduced. Does that sound ‘fair’?

Oasis mean more to kids today than the Beatles would’ve meant to any kids, 30 years after their prime. The songs aren’t lyrically complex of course. They lack a degree of intelligence, but simplicity & honesty are worthy traits. That pre-teens are loving a 30 year old band says much. They matter.

So what’s the appeal process then? Presumably whoever they appeal to will take about as long to reach the same decision? How many times can you appeal against something so obvious without it being considered somewhat frivolous? Any chance at all they just get punished and we can all move on?

I don’t talk much politics, primarily because it depresses me. But one quick question based on something I’ve seen circulating today. Brits are now heavily supportive of re-joining the EU. So why not make it a manifesto promise? It’s the sensible thing to do and it’d all-but guarantee a second term?

Where proper football clubs are focussed on making their team perform better, at United the focus remains on taking the supporters for a ride. These fuckers are shameless.

Just seen the video of that fucking racist idiot slashing at an RNLI dingy. The government need to get on top of this before someone gets properly hurt. At this point it appears like we’ve got our own unofficial ICE agents being given free rein to terrorise. There’s going to be civil war.
