honestly if anyone else was giving the "better" performances he's giving now we'd think they were playing injured, he's just set the bar so low that it looks like improvement

this is the risk when you buy a guy who is too old to sell if it doesn't work out. And then obviously he was just way more shit than the worst expectation could have been

Between his wages, the fee and his lack of production, I can't imagine who the market is unless Saudi still exists.

There are certain litmus tests for how much football fans are blindly prepared to act as footsoldiers and cheerleaders for everything their clubs do. This is one.

Elon Musk found us here. We’re indigenous to this land.
If people dislike Elon Musk so much, why do they still use the platform he owns?

Hi Fab, have you or your PR company ever been paid by Man City or any related MCFC entity for PR advice and / or promotion of their narrative, or received benefit-in-kind gifts for tweeting / writing / promoting their version of events? Thanks in advance for your swift response
🚨 Enzo Maresca: “In my view, the right moment to speak about that is when we're going to WIN this appeal”. “I spoke with the club, for sure, and we all trust our people”.

NAOMI KLIEIN to SAM ALTMAN: "...you ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation and without credit to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the people whose work you consumed. You are not 'liberating human creativity' -- you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft 'training data'."

Honestly not all that different to me than that Hobo Johnson clip that gets passed around here every other week.
I never scroll past this old video of the slow looks of existential horror on Ray Romano and Marc Maron’s faces as a young Bo Burnham reads them for filth

the investigation ended at the 2017-18 season so i guess we'll never know what happened with city's funding after that. (from @SwissRamble)

The evil red cartel introduced financial regulation in 2013 to protect their position and it led them going from winning 76% of titles to 23% of titles since. What a master plan

one relegation also just isn't sufficient punishment for all the rewards they've had. It needs to work as a deterrent
