The YouTube version of a pod I recorded 2 wks ago with @DuncanCastles about MCFC case. I was "on holiday" in Cornwall at the time. Hugely gratified about the positive feedback. And if you want somewhere gorgeous to go in Cornwall, go to Watergate Bay.

I wanted to write a 1,500-word piece about oligarchs, foreign money and how English football was changing. My editor wanted 200 words until I told him there was a lingerie model in the story.

Tonda is over-thinking. We need Larin back to his best and sharpish. But 7 points from 9 and three straight clean sheets is decent.
It would be fascinating to get inside the head of a brainwashed Man City fan and follow their thought processes and contortions over over the past few years. If anyone knows who @Woody7716 (or similar) is, drop me an email, and I'll ask them about their experience.
EIGHT years since the PL started gathering evidence in 2018. Three and a half years since 115 charges. Two years since 12-week hearing when mcfc could produce “irrefutable” evidence of innocence (rejected).
Your “no evidence” argument is therefore garbage.
You can read pieces up until the paywall but not beyond unless you’re a paid subscriber. Would you like me to quiz you on what you read about paid MCFC ambassadors?
Hi Chris, you’ve said you’ve read my stories, which would include the one about City (paid) ambassadors defending City. But as you’re not a paid subscriber to my site, how have you read my stories?
Weekend No750 of waking up to Man City fans hurling abuse, often mild like this from @realchriswood, who doesn’t follow me, never reads my work, but has decided journalism is rage bait because … his football team. Have a lovely Sunday, Chris.
It's got to be you, Fab. For your entirely consistent reporting on Man City, both via your forensic work on the guilty verdicts and the years of controversy and previous punishments, and for your hagiography coverage of wins such as today's 3-2 versus Ipswich.
Worried that your club's owners lied to you? Worried that fans might turn anger at the owners into violent protests? That the club's appeals will fail and you'll be relegated?
Hi Veejay, your "how it reads for me" seems a little extreme. I don't want anyone destroyed. I don't want City punished out of existence. But if upheld after appeal(s), the many guilty verdicts of egregious cheating should be suitably punished. As should any other club's cheating
