Do you remember when our idea of an evil chairman was Doug Ellis, Ron Noades or Ken Bates? The worst they ever did was a dodgy property deal, casual racism or a slight oversight on their tax return. Those were the days. :old:

We did not need globalisation or it’s sort.

But it’s okay because we are a remarkably well run club who does things the right way. Do you know there will be blue and white flowers in the boardroom on Sunday, worth at least a goal start that, and not just because they are all pooves.

We are a very well-run club, imo, that does things the right way, up until the moment somebody demanded we try to win the European Cup :-|

I find it hard to dislike City.

The financial strength of their parent company does not bother me a jot, in fact I quite like the way they spend money with complete abandon and as a team to watch play football I find them a joy at times.

Sadly when I watch us of late I find myself getting bored.

I was in the room with the telly on for about 70 minutes of the game last night.

I probably actually watched about 10 minutes. :-\

It just seems a very small table, doesn't it? They must all be elbowing each other during board meetings.

I gather the new one, at the Emirates, is much larger and also impeccably appointed. Parkinson's Law, innit :-\

You're annoying me now. Who is the chairman?

I don't mind all that either, but when Manchester City are on, I play FIFA. Or more likely, take the dogs out.
