      Nothing against Jamie Webster himself - or how well he has done - but I just wish there could be more bite to the songs.
      Football is the opiate of the people, and in many ways it helps to keep the people in their place. It is also a very powerful force and could be used for political good if better directed. The COVID lockdowns showed us the power, and bandwidth, of football - why not use that to say something bigger?

      Football was meant to change after the fans turned on the breakaway Euro league. United fans stormed the pitch, then months later they're gleefully buying up Ronaldo shirts. Newcastle are now oil owned, and there seems to be no question. City are back to sponsoring themselves, after the FFP bottled their decision (fearing court proceedings that City could have drawn out for years).

      Protecting their self-interest, sports journalists will only ever skim the surface of such issues, but a crowd can sing (and placard) whatever it likes, and I think they should. The Crystal Palace banner was brilliant, and the fact that the police considered prosecuting shows how near the bone it came. The 'earn it' t-shirts placed in the Liverpool changing room (after the idea of the breakaway league emerged) were powerful too, the irony being that Klopp's boys had most definitely earned their achievements - they had not bought or cheated, but developed and nurtured (from a modest net spend). They were the wrong target: false class consciousness.

      Those t-shirts would have been best placed in the City dressing room, because City's financial power is unprecedented, and - in breaking rules supposed to hold them in check - amounts to cheating. City and Pep should face the 'earn' it question every week: 'earn it not buy it' would be an apt slogan.

      We need to make these points from the terrace (where we are free to): we need to sing, loud and proud, so that no one misses the point, and have our voices stretch out beyond the narrow confines of football.



      1) What the F**k is this sh*t?
      2) Why are you bringing Jamie Webster into it?

      Itā€™s an absolute joke. So blatant what is happening at City and the other oil clubs but nothing will be done.

      Unfortunately I think City will dominate the league until something changes and every few years or so youā€™ll get another winner.

      Honestly I have absolutely no respect for what Pep has ā€˜achievedā€™ there - absolutely no merit in any of it.

      It stinks of corruption.  Unfortunately unless the governing bodies step in and call a halt to it, it will get worse with clubs that are backed by Billions will just get bigger and better and a lot of clubs will get left behind including us I fear.

      I would like to see a level playing field but how you do that I have no idea. Football is slowly dying as we used to know it.

      they have been investigated and cleared. Just because they have owners who are willing to pump money in any form doesnt mean they are the only ones who are not squeeky clean. I hope it all blows up and players have to manage on Ā£300k a year not a week and the grounds will still be full and ticket prices at a level were ordinary people can afford them

      You do know they are currently under investigation by the Prem League - something that City have tried to keep quiet ( and failed ) and that the UEFA investigation was a complete mess with City making sure it caused issues

      So..?

      You have to tip your hat to the owners who have ploughed their own money into the local area.

      Why are you bringing FSG into it once again ?


      And just because someone posts on Twitter doesnā€™t mean they are open to abuse but then abuse does seem your mantra


      This is about City and the fact their owners have financially cheated to put them where they are now -


      It is amusing when you post stuff like this on other threads


      the King of Spains play thing subsidised by Government etc. We always tried to fo the right thing and still won 18 league titles and 5 CL doing it the right way we dont need any lessons

      Yet complain about our owners who are trying to do the right thing 🤔

      do you care where FSG got their Billions from not from a corner shop or from putting in a few hours overtime. He made his money basically gambling on Oil, Currency and Bond Markets  but money directly from oil isnt acceptable?.
