It was mocking man u fans based on their behaviour at Sunderland and involved about 2000 in the South Stand. How often do you go to Scunthorpe games. Yes, I have an SC for Sunderland and travel to a few away games. The Poznan is done around the world probably originating at Lech Poznan. I know I said I'd never mention you again but ha'way man, you set yourself up for it.

Just offering a balanced opinion. It seems a bit cultish on here at the moment. I personally think Newcastle will have some fans against this, but the majority for it, and that every club in the country would react in a very similar fashion. This isn't going to change football. The floodgates have been open for many years.

Granted if it was Grimsby I would not be as rational.

Aye, that'll be all the Mags coming out the wood work. Oh, sorry, you said cultish!

As you wish. Balanced views on these are hard to understand.

I have watched everything these bastards from the middle east have done for years now.

I hate them so much words on here could not be printed, or would be deleted, as would my account.

Yeah but who is Abu Dhabi? Is he the king of the UAE?

Abu Dhabi is a what, not a who. Sheikh Kalifa is the Emir of Abu Dhabi, the largest and wealthiest of the seven emirates which comprise the UAE. Khalifa is also head of state of the UAE. You might have half a point if Khalifa owned or had any influence at City, but he doesn't; Mansour owns 100% of the investment fund that owns City. While the UAE is far from clean on human rights issues (homosexuality is criminalised, for example), it does not execute homosexuals, carry out extra-judicial murders, or carry out war crimes, and is not in the same ball park as KSA. Would I prefer if Man City were not owned by Mansour? Yes, but Mansour is not sportswashing in the same way, and never was. You'd be on better grounds with PSG, which is more directly comparable, and just as contemptible.
