The Man City Thread*******

Not a great piece in terms of writing, I feel he got a bit emotional writing it, but everything he said is spot on.

Is he wrong in his analysis of what's going on with City's ownership?

Or is he wrong in his conclusion as to the significance of it?

Is there no case to be made for withholding support for City on account not of what the owners have been doing at home, but because they are using City to "sportswash" their reputation abroad?

Maybe you think it doesn't matter?

Or perhaps you really don't care?

These are genuine questions.

For as someone who was initially fairly agnostic about it all, I began to have my view altered by other comment in recent days, before this article just about confirmed my distaste for it all.

Therefore I am interested to know whether City fans like yourself have been similarly influenced to alter your view. 

I like football and Sutton knows football. I come on here to talk about football, I know bugger all about Middle Eastern regimes or politics, like 99% of football fans and members of this forum I would guess. They’re all suddenly experts on it since about 5pm on Sunday 12th May though 

I should maybe listen to your tedious and extremely weird Trump obsessed points on your various platforms - YBIG, GAA board and twitter

Would put me over to sleep at least anyway 

I'm a democratic socialist and have taken human rights seriously all my life

Football does not exist in isolation from the real world

Manchester City supporters' behaviour has been very Trump-like, the comparison clearly irks you

And then you prove the point again by using the word "obsessed"

It's a sure sign you're losing the debate when you have to resort to such a word - a word which is used to try and shut down debate - notably by, of course, Trump supporters

There you go again

Sutton is a tedious dullard who comes from the backward old school English football culture of the mid-90s where you got called gay if you read The Guardian

If you know bugger all about Middle Eastern regimes or politics perhaps you should start learning a bit about them rather than wallowing in ignorance

You seem curiously evasive of any questions and points that have been aimed at you by various posters here and are just employing INTERNET techniques to try and shut down any debate

Interesting, very interesting, as Barry Davies would say

You should maybe tweet that Barry Davies line to your massive twitter following
