Indeed. Unlikely to happen though because football wants its grubby hands on the oil money, even if the owner only goes to one game in 13 years…

[Football] Champions League Final
- Thread starter Stato
- Start date
UEFA have tried a few times to get them banned, interesting to see what happens with the charges
This is why it's going to be so beautiful when Brighton win it. We're going to do so despite being far from the richest.
It won’t be beautiful with your weird camera angles though!

We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
Ooh, another reason to hate "Man" City.
The record of English teams in the Champions League/European Cup is pretty decent, despite a 5 year ban
And although Spanish teams have 19 title against 15 for English teams, 14 of those 19 were by one team, and the remaining 5 were by one other team. No other league has the depth of the English top division, with 6 European Cup/CL winners.

Oh I see. Yeah it's quite stupid of them to think of themselves as a fairytale story - or rather, it's obviously a fairytale for them, but it's obvious that it won't be considered the same by other fans. I've no idea why they would look for love from other fans - PSG fans certainly don't look for any approval from other French teamsWith the best of intentions I don't think you fully understand.
Man City the club, the media fans and the rank and file have always wanted to be accepted and liked.
They are early adopters of sportswashing and that win over the hearts and minds mentality still exists, the nicer side of sportswashing
They certainly didn't get the vitriol thrown at Newcastle - who just don't care.
So may well think us just week in week out ignoring them is a sign of it working, making them all the more surprised when true feelings are voiced.
I believe their need is twofold:-
'you need to love us because we were once shite like you, and one day you too could have all of this'.
&
'you need to love us because we're not Utd, who you really hate'.
What the club fed media cheerleaders, and certainly last night's commentary team, don't understand is the simple fact that 'we' don't want to be them, we couldn't think of anything worse.
Plus, where football is concerned 'we' have an infinite amount of room for hate.
Well, their main forum's banner is this:
And at a first glance they seem pretty against all their ultras' bullshit on there; so you can pop up and say hi on there, I'm sure there will be people that can speak English.
Great historic team and great town, especially for the food
To be fair their shade of blue is darker than Palace's.

So. Are we decided yet? Was that a wondrous worldie save by Ederson at the death, as BT commentary would have it? Or did he just instinctively stick a lucky knee out, as most viewers in real time - and also with the benefit of unlimited replays - would 'of' observed?
Piacenza.
One line of my family is from there (over a hundred years ago now), which is the main reason I'm trying to learn Italian.
I've visited the town, but not the football ground.
Let me explain how it works: first you have to qualify.
We can do that by finishing in the top 4. We would have done that this season were it not for some terrible refereeing/VAR decisions, and losing to Everton and Forest. We came 9 points short this year, with 62 points. Our annual target used to be 40. That seems to have changed to 71.

Uh, my grandma is from that province (from a small town in the Val Tidone to be precise), so I've heard a bit of Piacentino dialect in my life. I can't speak it though, outside one or two words/phrases (e.g. "cus ghé?"="what's this/what's happening?" and "bagài"="kid".) And of course the rhyming saying "Cul ad Piaseinsa, quand i nam mia fan seinsa." ("Those of Piacenza, when they don't have something they do without", which reflects their pride in making do and being agricultural, middle/lower-class people.) The city itself is less beautiful than the surrounding province in my opinion. I've never followed the football team though.
Well City and Cheslsea are in there because of the huge amounts of money spent.Newcastle could be there soon.It;s not because England have started producing great players which would benefit the national team.It's just because big money has come to the Prem.Man U could be next with an Arab takeover.It hasn't benefited the national team at all.It just means the Prem is full of foreign players. The media, pundits etc couldn't care less where the money comes from or if it affects the national side.They just want the best league in the world and the best teams.So what if a killer owns Newcastle, When you consider the huge amounts spent in the Prem the record of English sides is not that impressive.Currently despite all the money spent you can only say it boasts one top side.
