  1. Any data to support that more people inside stadiums are more racist than people outside of stadiums?

  3. Yep. See my link a few posts back
  4. Yeah. Not sure why he only did half a season at Huddersfield and then second half joined you.
  5. I thought this was a wind up at first ???? Great pr for the building manufacturer Bolton have announced they agreed a deal with local building manufacturer Toughsheet. It means the League One side will be playing at the Toughsheet Community Stadium for the next five years. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-64704208
  6. I think most people are for kicking racism out. Not a single soul ever objected to players wearing "kick it out" badges etc. With the knee bending it's the association to BLM that get's most people's backs up. They should choose any alternative method to make the case.
  7. In your view but there is absolutely no doubt that having competition is healthy for the consumer. So healthy that we have anti-monopolies bodies to ensure no single company can corner the market. If you don't have a choice, they have you by the short and curlies and there's nothing you can do about it. And that is what happens here. Oh and I remember having to sit in a freezing house with candles in the UK. That was when utilities were state owned. I suppose at least it's warm here, so last week on one of our virtually weekly electricity cuts, at least I was warm with my solar powered lamp.
  8. There will always be misery for some. Businesses have to make a profit or they go bust. I live in Thailand where the water and electric supply is state owned / managed and it's a shambles. We aren't in the 1970's anymore but we have constant electric and water outages and no effective complaint process. There is no competition out there for us to switch to. I know, given a choice, which I prefer.
  9. Tis good news for me though. Share price has doubled since I bought into them and an ok divi announced.

  11. Nobody has ever said it isn't. So why the need for exaggeration?
  12. Close approximation!! Are you off your nut? Not nit picking at all. You come in here giving it the big one with 80,000. Why didn't you say 70,000? Because that is a lot closer to your actual attendance than 80,000 is
  13. I doubt that very much. Talk about not having a clue about your own club. When was the last time you even went? ???? ???? ???? Average attendance last year = 72,992. 7,008 short of your 80,000 ???? ???? ???? https://www.statista.com/statistics/268646/manchester-united-average-per-game-attendance/#:~:text=The Premier League bounced back,per match in the league.
  14. Quality banner with a hint of Mancunian humour. Gawd, your dull. Have a chill pill and study how your dilapidated stadium will stop from crumbling around your ears
  15. It's your remembrance, not ours or anyone else's club in the PL. Upto each and everyone's own personal choice if they want to "like" your post. Can't believe you are throwing your toys out because someone didn't say anything.
  16. That's why I don't trust a word that comes out of your finger tips. No United fans "love" their owners not matter what box they are in. It's just a varying degree of hatred you have towards them

  19. I'm not surprised. You RAGs are just headline hunters. One question. Do you love your owners?
  20. With reference to Lord Pannick and The Smiths ????????????
  21. No I don't read the Sun but a mate sent me this article from Phil Thomas. Pretty hard to argue against it and no, he isn't a blue. Man City have arguably the most loved owners in football.. jealous rivals should pipe down and learn from Sheikh Mansour IT HAS always been the most tribal of sports. One where the mood of an entire week can be shaped by 90 minutes. Eternally driven by emotion. And over the past few days we have had further proof of the most dominant force of all... jealousy. Don’t agree? Well, take a look at the reaction from Manchester City’s biggest rivals when the Premier League charged them with 115 financial rule breaches and think again. From Old Trafford to Anfield, from Stamford Bridge to North London, there has been the sound of gleeful palms rubbed together. By those desperate to see the demise of the best team over the past decade being brought to book. Some even calling for them to be relegated to the bottom tier. How they’d love for Sheikh Mansour and his Abu Dhabi group, who have brought the likes of Pep Guardiola, Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland to the Prem, to be driven out of town. Well, don’t all those now baying for blood have any sense of irony? It’s as if they don’t know what a bad owner actually is. Although listening to them, they certainly should. Look at the ones who have always had the most to say about the City model and method. No one could tell you more about jealousy than them. Starting four miles away at Old Trafford, where United have an owning family hated by fans and trying to sell the club. Down the East Lancs Road at Liverpool, whose supporters are becoming increasingly disillusioned, there’s another owner trying to find a buyer. Like Chelsea, who have just sold the club to someone whose idea of how FFP should work is his own but no one else’s. Or Tottenham, a club hard to take seriously when the one thing guaranteed at every home game is a booming chorus of “Levy Out”. And then there are City. With arguably the best-loved owner in football — not through scarf-waving and soundbites but by what he’s done for their club and an entire community. There was a time, before Sheikh Mansour arrived, when the area around the Etihad was a derelict, downtrodden slum. The suburbs of Beswick, Ancoats, Newton Heath and Ardwick were places where anyone not locking the car door at a red light might find an unwanted guest in the passenger seat. One where locals were shunted to other parts of the city in the 1980s as part of a slum clearance scheme. Even the soil in the area around the main shaft to the old Bradford mine — a short throw-in from the Etihad — was poisonous. But now it is a site for some of the most desirable properties in Manchester and where a visit to the City stadium is one of the best fan experiences in the world. A club with owners who have done more than anyone to help promote the women’s game, with a side enjoying facilities right out of the top drawer. Yet ones who are now accused of pumping more money into their club than the rules permit. Is there any other business where you are limited on the size of the investment you can make? It’s interesting to see that the UK government is on course for £10billion of UAE investment after announcing a “relationship reset” with the Gulf State. So the Abu Dhabi money is clearly good enough for them, but not to spend in the Premier League. Has there ever been a better example of football’s crazy FFP rules? It should be about focusing on conmen and crooks, not trying to trip up someone who has — and is — flooding football with millions. Yes, City have made a few cock-ups with their managerial appointments, but the good has very much outweighed the bad. Far from simply for their own supporters, too. And believe me, these aren’t words of someone who spent years on the Kippax and bleeds sky blue. Nothing could be further from the truth. Having financial boundaries is one thing. No one would argue against that — as long as they train the sights on the right people. Article:- https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21356532/man-city-owners-loved-jealous-rivals-pipe-down/
