And the rest of the world won't be watching. I won't anyway. I couldn't care less which of the 4 remaining "clubs" win it. If it was Utd then maybe, just to see them get beat but this lot ? Zero interest.

You know football has taken a serious turn for the worse when Real Madrid are the least corrupt club in the semi-finals of the Champions League. City vs PSG has got to be up there as one of the most repugnant matches in history
It's a semi-final that shames football, yet football is lapping it up. If it wasn't so horribly tragic it would be laughable.

There's part of me that wants City win the whole thing so their ownership and rule breaking gets put under the spotlight. I'm still hoping that the pressure from the ESL fallout will result in more being done about having human rights abusing dictatorships own clubs. Also, what ever happened to the Premier League looking into City's sponsorship breaches like UEFA did, nothing has come out about it in over a year, seems very fishy. What will it actually take for the media to ask more questions about it, Delaney seems to be the only journo who regularly writes about it, everyone else is is singing their praises at every opportunity.

it won’t though.

Surely by now we all get that people don’t care.  They just want the product, that they see as being ‘good’ for their brand. What it’s built on doesn’t interest hardly anyone bar a few fans with morals, and 1 or 2 print journalists - if we’re lucky.

Delaney writes a lot on it to be fair to him, takes an awful lot of stick too from the usual City apologists as well. The likes of Rob Harris and Martin Ziegler have done a fair bit as well. But the usual crowd (more well-known journalists), won't risk it.

Also, I think Samuel's son works for City which I suspect is another reason he's kept the silence.  ::)

He's sucked them off for years when he knew that we were their only major challengers. Changed around the new year when United were top for a few weeks. Now he's back to blowing smoke up their arse again now he knows United are realistically miles behind them.

The fact that somebody has written this content about a football match shows just how disgustingly warped and twisted the beautiful game is today.

I hope that whoever loses takes it as such an insult they bow out of the game, or that they blow the opposing family to smithereens.  Vile.

No surprise.

Coincidentally always was a guest on Sunday Supplement days after FFP and City was in the news, even did two weeks in a row at one point because the following week was UEFA charges.

I'm reminded of Matthew Syed's appearance alongside Tony Cascarino on Sky Sports back in 2013...

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4o8hmc

"Yeah, but...he's grown to love the club and grown to be loved by the fans...who don't really care how he may or may not have made his money"

"Players and ex-players don't see it that way do they?"

"I try and ignore it Matthew - I just want to look at it in a sporting sense.  I don't know the full details."

"But there's lots of exploitations - it's not just football."

Always quite enjoy how Syed courteously does acknowledge the purely footballing side at the end, almost as if to highlight everyone else's inability to see the bigger picture.

Yes, I remember raging after one of those shows, hearing him dismissing everything. No real surprise though, they seemed to have a clingy little group of journalist they always invited on, the moment a big story broke.

Big teams struggling...no crowds to scare them

Hardly any injury worries (look at their bench ffs)

They've spent billions to get here. (look at their bench ffs!)
And like Chelsea all those years ago they may finally do it...
