BREAKING: Manchester City confirm that at 7pm on Thursday 1st October the Club lodged its “comprehensive Appeal against the opinion of the Premier League Commission”. City add “the Club’s firm position is that, on multiple grounds, the opinion contains clear material errors, of law, principle and fact and is unsafe. “The Club is innocent of the accusations made by the Premier League and a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence exists in support of all of its positions, relating to this case. We will continue to respect due process and are necessarily restricted in what we can say further until all proceedings are complete.”

I want every single @ManCity fan to know I am here; more than ever. I am, always have been, always will, be behind my club, my owner, my chairman, Ferran, the players, staff, Enzo and you, our unique supporters. Let me be clear: we will get through this together. I love you all 🩵

My 15 year-old son, a huge City fan who is now being bullied at school due to the outrageous media pile-on against City, has just listened to a @talkSPORT news bulletin where the announcer has just compared City CEO Soriano to a Bond villain. Shame on you, @talkSPORT #mcfc

We are 6 days away from the first of two Nations League matches between Israel and Republic of Ireland. At this point the gloves are off. Israelis are beginning to learn about the insane Jew hatred within Republic of Ireland now. Important to note: ❌ This response is to the Republic of Ireland coach who claimed “we are playing against genocide”. Perhaps he has no choice due to the pandemic of a mental illness in the Republic of Ireland? ❌ A small and vocal section of Ireland has been up in arms about these two fixtures ever since they were drawn. There is no pushback in the Irish media to blood libel claims like “genocide”. RTE and Second Captains are absolutely clueless on the Middle East. ❌ Republic of Ireland chose to play a friendly with the slave state of Qatar. ❌ No one in ROI has any problem with Ireland playing cricket against Afghanistan. ❌ The two Israel matches will be played with no adverts, commentary or pundits. In some sort of hilarious and pathetic protest. ❌ Republic of Ireland moved their home game against Israel to Serbia. ✅ Israel have three Israeli-Arabs in the squad. Mohamed Abu Fani. Anan Khalaili. Sayed Abu Farkhi. ❌ Israel cannot play home games in Israel because Hamas launched a 7-front war. Also joined by Hezbollah, Houthis and Iran. ❌ No one in the Republic of Ireland has ever called for Iran, Lebanon or Yemen to be banned from football. Only Israel. ✅ Ireland is in the midst of a mental illness called Jew hate. And to excuse this they will lie about “genocide”, “settler colonialism” and “apartheid”. ✅ Kenny Cunningham is on the right side of history in Republic of Ireland. ✅ Kosovo is over 90% Muslim. They are in the same Nations League group as Ireland and Israel and no one in Kosovo is bothered about facing the only Jewish state.

Okay Luka Vuskovic, I am totally paying attention now.
