"Arsene Wenger is emerging as a would-be successor, the only person in a limited field capable of restoring cachet and credibility to the office Infantino has so disgraced..."

City have been found guilty of industrial level cheating by their sportswashing owners. It will likely have catastrophic impacts on the Premier League and football in this country for an entire generation. But I guess it’s all a big laugh.

This is sportswashing in action. Just ignoring the fact they've been found to have cheated for a decade and pretending everything is normal. Disgusting
Manchester City are "taking care of business on the pitch" after making their best start to a season since 1897 ⚽

In no other scenario would a team be platformed like this after being found guilty of arguably the most highly orchestrated cheating scandal in sporting history. You might call it an elephant in the room. This is actually 114 of them. They bring a few bananas, win a few games & MOTD talk like this? Shambolic. The BBC's purpose is to ‘provide impartial, high-quality & distinctive output & services which inform & educate’. Is this anything resembling that? (No) When we say sportswashing, this is it right here.

"Let’s park the off-field matters for a moment". Herein lies the problem.
It’s looks ominous for the rest of the Premier League if Manchester City continue at this pace. That said, it’s so early into the season that it would be foolish to think it’s wrapped up already. Let’s park the off-field matters for a moment and focus on whether any opponent is capable of keeping up. Arsenal certainly have the strength in depth and Chelsea are beginning to look like a force. Liverpool clearly need time, as was highlighted in the defeat to Manchester City last week. But while seven wins out of seven games is a blistering start, it’s still a very small sample size and there’s still so much to go through. Liverpool won the first five games last season as champions and look what followed. @greggevans40 🔗 nyti.ms/4sbjL9n

Leeds 5 Man Utd 1 - Feb 1972. Revie’s Leeds at their merciless peak- The next match was the 7-0 demolition of Southampton. We should approach the next 2 home games in the same way - a good opportunity to boost the goal difference against struggling teams 😉 #LUFC #70sLeeds #MOT

Jack Grealish has once again shown his generosity, donating £1,400 to help a father battling cancer after coming across the family’s GoFundMe page while on holiday. It’s far from a one-off. Earlier this year, Grealish donated £1,000 towards funeral costs for a grieving family, while in 2023 he gave £5,000 to support a young cancer patient. He also donated £5,000 to the family of a victim killed in a tragic crash in 2021. He’s built a reputation for quietly helping people who need it, often without making a big deal of it. A genuine class act.

No £80 replica shirts. No phones filming every second. No marketing telling you how special it all was. Nobody flying in from Singapore after paying £700 for a ticket. Just lads getting there hours early and queuing forever at the turnstiles. Cold hands, muddy terraces, and all that mattered was bagging your spot on the wall. Football when it was simple. 👏🏻👏🏻

Man City need taking off the TV until this is resolved, it’s like Lance Armstrong being found guilty but being allowed to race on TV at the weekend.

🗣️ Nicky Butt on the Manchester City situation: “The only reason I'd make them void is because, 20 years down the line, if you take the 2012 title off City and give it to Man United, it'll just say Man United in the history books. Nobody will talk about what happened. “But if it's void, young kids will be asking, ‘Why's that void, Dad?’ And you'll say, ‘Because Man City cheated.’ It'll always be there in the history books. “If they're found guilty, after all the appeals and the whole process, whether that takes a year, two years or however long, and those titles are taken away, they should always be remembered for it. “Think about Ben Johnson, think about Lance Armstrong. All the cheats in sport. That never goes away. It's always there in the history books.”
