deejeck Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 The turbocunt who is front and centre of FIFA might have changed, but it's reassuring to see that the greed is still as prevalent as ever. "Qatar 2022 has been the best World Cup ever" - wonder how much his palm was greased to get him to say that?! It hasn't even finished yet FFS.

FIFA has long been desperate to get some of that sweet, sweet club football cash. The problem is no-one in Europe has ever, nor will ever, give a shite about these tournaments. Intercontinental Cup / that Toyota giant key cup / FIFA Club World Cup etc. Load of crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Not that I think it’ll happen but say Arsenal collapse and City still have blips in new year, the unthinkable happens and we win the league this season. Was just thinking about this scenario and whilst clearly the city would be on a bender for 2 weeks solid and we’d go fucking beserk, it would be interesting to see psychologically how as a fanbase we’d react going forward. We’re all seeing this as an exciting journey currently whereby we probably build over the next couple of windows, finish top 4, play in Europe, hopefully get to Wembley and then eventually, possibly win the league. If we win the league this year would it spoil us and kill some of the intrigue of how this is going to pan out, clearly opportunities to win the league don’t come easily and you could never turn the opportunity down after the barren years we’ve had. But would it be better to do it incrementally, maybe win a league cup first and build to the bigger trophies to fully appreciate it. Ultimately I expect us to win fucking everything, but in a few years when we look back the journey is sometimes the best part.

Ultimately I expect us to win fucking everything, but in a few years when we look back the journey is sometimes the best part. I vividly remember coming back from a win at Highbury in May 1997, a week where we still had an outside chance of winning the title - we had three games left (what was it with NUFC playing four league games in the final week of the season when we could win it?), knowing that if we won all three (including at OT) and Man Utd lost to West Ham final day we could win it. I had a (drunk) conversation with a couple of mates on the bus back, where we eventually aligned on wanting to wait to win it ‘properly’, given that to win it that year having looked to be out of the race for so long would be weirdly anticlimactic. Next year would be a non-stop tilt for the title replete with a victory lap in the last few fixtures. So while totally getting your point, having enjoyed the next barren quarter of a century, I think we hope we win anything we can whenever the opportunity presents Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've clearly put Staveley in as the mouth piece. What’s impressed me most about the Saudis is how savvy they’ve been. From the appointments to the lack of Hollywood signings, they’ve been streetwise when it comes to the media and agents. The only people who want Yasir to speak is the press so they can pick him apart, I suspect as fans there actions are all we care about, those actions have spoken larger than any words from previous owners. We might have struck the jackpot with the richest owners on the planet, but we couldn’t have dreamt they’d be this fucking clued up it’s marvellous.

They've clearly put Staveley in as the mouth piece. Exactly what I tweeted him. It’s not like there’s complete silence coming from the club. They want to ask a token question about sports washing just so they can get a very political answer to it and they’re upset they can’t. The communication we get from the club now is like night and day compared to under Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
