This view that City made the league more competitive is… the opposite of the truth. It’s the most dominant spell ever seen in England: - 100 and 98 points - two trebles - four in a row None of these things had ever been done before

This is why state ownership is terrible. Get them gone
Emirati officials have warned the UK government that the severity of ruling on #ManCity could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale UK commitments, and consider the Premier League’s actions to have an influence on the bilateral state relationship. UK government officials are equally frustrated by the conduct of UAE counterparts and believe some in the Gulf nation must have been aware of the extent of @ManCity’s wrongdoing, even while insisting there was nothing untoward.

Curiouser and curiouser As @DamianHastie points out, in 2015 the US depts of Commerce, State + Transport launched an inquiry into whether Etihad were receiving govt subsidies Etihad statement to commission was: "The assertion that the Abu Dhabi government paid for Etihad's sponsorship of English Premier League football club Manchester City is … false. In 2011, Etihad and Manchester City entered into a 10-year sponsorship agreement, which included naming rights for Manchester City's stadium. Etihad funded this sponsorship from its own liquidity’

Using public transport, built on public money, as an on-off switch, cutting access of public using it for so many reasons is a full-blown scam.

Statement: IFF condemns the internet shutdown in Connaught Place ahead of today's protest. We are tracing the suspension order. New Delhi, 2 October 2026 The Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) condemns the suspension of mobile internet services in and around Connaught Place, New Delhi, this morning. At 9:40 am, Jio subscribers in the area received a message stating: "As per government instructions Internet services have been stopped in your area till further notice." The shutdown took effect before a protest called for 11 am at Jantar Mantar, seeking the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner, had even begun. Delhi Police has refused permission for the gathering, prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 are in force across New Delhi district, and entry and exit at eleven metro stations have been closed. On Gandhi Jayanti, the answer to a call for protest in the capital has been to switch off the internet for everyone who lives, works, trades and reports in its centre. We call for the immediate restoration of services. At the time of release of this statement, we have not been able to locate any suspension order published by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Department of Telecommunications, the Government of NCT of Delhi or the Delhi Police. The public does not know who directed this shutdown, on what grounds, over what area, or until when. IFF is attempting to trace the order and will make it public as soon as we obtain a copy. In Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India, (2020) 3 SCC 637, the Supreme Court held that speech and trade over the internet are protected under Articles 19(1)(a) and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution, and that every suspension order must be published, reasoned, proportionate and limited in time. Under Section 20(2)(b) of the Telecommunications Act, 2023 and the Telecommunications (Temporary Suspension of Services) Rules, 2024, only the Union or State Home Secretary may issue such an order, for reasons recorded in writing. The order must be published and must specify the area, the services and a fixed duration and it may be passed only where no other reasonable means would serve. A shutdown announced to subscribers as lasting "till further notice", imposed before a single person had assembled, cannot be squared with these safeguards. It follows repeated suspensions around Jantar Mantar in July 2026. Switching off the network is becoming a routine response to protest in the national capital. IFF condemns the internet shutdown in parts of Central Delhi. We call upon the Government of India and the Government of NCT of Delhi to: 1. Immediately restore mobile internet services in Connaught Place and all affected parts of Central Delhi. 2. Publish the suspension order forthwith, together with the reasons recorded in writing. 3. Disclose the issuing authority, the precise areas and services covered, and the period of operation. 4. Place the order before the Review Committee within five days, as the Rules require, and make its findings public.

So this is where we got our gst from.
'Gingerbread men with chocolate trousers incur value-added tax (VAT) worth 20%, but no tax is charged on those with chocolate only for their eyes.' Britain's taxes aren't unusually high - but they are freakishly complex, @TheEconomist says: economist.com/britain/2026/1…

Arsène Wenger and his integrity is now trending in the darkest moment of the Premier League. “It is easy to be a revolutionary when the revolution is already happening, but far harder to stand up before it begins”.
30 years on, Arsene Wenger's impact can still be felt at Arsenal 🔴🏆

Bloomberg warned weeks ago that political pressure would be applied from the UK to the UAE, and it is happening in front of your eyes. This is the very definition of sportswashing and why nation states should not be allowed to own football clubs. Andy Burnham cannot interfere.
Andy Burnham has said he would be “really concerned” to lose Manchester City’s owners as a result of the club being found guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League rules | ✍️ @martynziegler, @Lawton_Times, @_pauljoyce thetimes.com/sport/football/…
