Look I’m not going to convince you Zed but if you are at all interested, do a little reading and you’ll see City are guilty (but “on appeal”) of the worst financial doping in the history of English and probably World football

For example…

Sign Roberto Mancini as manager but agree to pay him £250k ...

Chelsea, Everton and Leicester have been found guilty of spending too much on players and have taken their punishment.

Man City have had 115 charges over them for a number of years. Have been found guilty, appealed delayed, appealed and no doubt, WHEN they are found guilty again, they’ll try to ...

Not as disgusting an amount as City because other clubs follow the rules and don’t hide behind lawyers

No he signed for Man City because they agreed to pay him an obscene amount of money "on the books" and then, they pay him an ever larger obscene amount of money "off the books" by dodgy backhand deals designed to circumvent financial rules

Real shame what happened to Jordan Henderson. Leaving aside the debate as to whether he should have been in the squad, that really was horrendous luck ...

How about pudding?? Or Taco Meat??

It’s nice and I like the interior but not $6.3M nice. I realise it’s in the LA hills so that’s what you’re paying for mainly. Also looks to me like an old timber construction so I wonder how bad the insurance will be on that!


The vast majority of US homes are timber framed so I wouldn’t think ...

Here’s something else, a bit special, to wash the taste of those Ikea Boxes in Kent from your mind…



Absolutely stunning…

I have a leaf vaccum and it's awful - you carry it (with a shoulder strap) and the bag quickly fills up and gets heavy. It's more effort to carry around and persuade autumn leaves to be sucked up than it is to just use a rake and big hands to pick them up myself :laugh:

No... you have to go out and buy a leaf blower / vacuum...

Never adapt, ALWAYS buy new toys..

Watch on S4C, run the commentary from BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra ??
