Every time he opens his mouth, I despise him (and the murderous, head-chopping, hypocritical scum that employ him) more.

The idea that it was Neymar's transfer to PSG that kicked off the maelstrom that is today's transfer market is laughable at best. The fact that Man Shithole had been warping the market with their spending for years before seems to have escaped the smarmy prick.

I would be willing to bet money that this is nothing more than Al-Nahyan getting a kick in for his side in the UAE-Qatar diplomatic war that's been going on since the mid-90s (and probably from their tribal periods too). PSG are Qatari owned, just in case there's anyone who doesn't know.

And Fraudiola is Al-Nahyan's lickspittle mouthpiece for it. He makes a massive show of how he's so politically right-on with the yellow ribbon he wears in 'solidarity' with jailed Catalan independence activists. And yet he works for a regime that routinely, legislatively and judicially discriminates against political activists. Oh, and gays. And women. And other races (even though the regime is in fact a minority ethnicity - how's that for repellent irony?). It engages in torture, extrajudicial murder, disappearances, forced labour and the suppression of basic human rights.

This is just another thread in Al-Nahyan's attempts to sportswash his disgusting regime. I wish, I wish, I had the power to kick him out of football permanently. Total ****

Man City are the ones who have turned the transfer market into a farce. And I'm going to say it, they are a primary reason why we have found signings challenging too. Our status as up-and-comers puts us in the position of not wanting to buy your average or pretty good player, because they won't add to the squad. But our smaller finances means we can't buy the elite players either because the Man Citys (and Barcelonas and Chelseas and Real Madrids and PSGs) have priced them out of our reach. It's cartel mechanics at work. But Man City are the worst of them all.

As far as I'm concerned, Manchester Shithole are a stain on the face of the planet, not just football, and if there was any justice they would be banned from all competitions until their owners f***** off back to the pit they oozed out of, never to return.

The depths to which I despise that club and their smug, sack of shit manager is so huge that I'd do anything, even wear an Arsenal shirt for the rest of my life, if it meant Man City would cease to exist.

And, by God yes, I'm triggered!

Excellent post, and yet I still want them to win the league.

I was about to winner this and then......

"I'd do anything, even wear an Arsenal shirt for the rest of my life"
Alright, I may not quite go that far - the water bills that would stack up due my constant need to shower would be ridiculous!

In all seriousness, and somewhat less furiously expressed than the first post, that club is a pox on football - represents all that is wrong with the modern game.

That guy is such a fucking knob, and @rez9000 is correct - the fact he bleats on about "oh my poor Catalonian brothers, boo hoo" and yet his life is being funded by a bunch of wankers who go around lashing women for being raped, is such hypocrisy.

If Spurs ever get bought out by some Arabic/Qatari billionaire, I'll probably stop following them and start going to follow my local team, Dagenham week in week out. I don't think my morals would allow me to support a team funded by such an awful regime.

Quite funny how with all of their money, some of the best players going, they've still managed to make a complete bollocks of their title race.

Yep. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to win back to back titles. Are the players so difficult to motivate to do it nowadays.

Hopefully, Arab nations will never come in for a "Jewish" club.

Bone Saw has been buying military equipment from Israel, so what would stop him from trying to do business with Baldy?

I think I'm out of the loop, but who is Bone Saw? Sounds like a wrestler/super baddie/horror film character etc.

The Saudi Crown Prince, Mohamad bin Salman who ordered the killing and dismemberment of his critic in the Saudi Embassy in Turkey.

What makes it all the more galling is the TV pundits either can't see the hypocrisy or don't want to see.
They will go on their merry way spouting their ill informed and badly researched if researched at all nonsense.
Except for Souness all other pundits have failed in management or did not have the guts to try at Henry had a go albeit dismally

Last night the co-commentator during the newcastle - City game actually said ‘well it’s financial doping isn’t it, can we say that?’ to which Ian Darke replied ‘no, I don’t think we can’ and that was it.
I thought I was about hear them call it for exactly what it is!

I think its more about the desire dropping slightly. You're always more motivated to win something more the first time. Fergie used to say it was always his best achievement. I can imagine you go through the emotions.
