quote:But let’s turn to Haaland himself. What are we to make of this strange goal orc, the genetic product of an encounter between 90s midfielder Alf Inge Haaland and a copy of Tekken 3 on Playstation? There is, perhaps, an in-built tedium to the existence of the career goalscorer, this largely unglamorous pursuit of brute volume: easy goals, ugly goals, pointless goals, the goals nobody recalls. How many of Alan Shearer’s 260 Premier League goals were genuinely memorable? What are the moments that stir the soul? Put more simply: is there any more to this elvish Norse phenomenon than cold numbers? I wonder if they make you masturbate with a printed out sheet of your own copy when you're interviewed at the Guardian or if it's something they teach

Butterfly Valley posted:I wonder if they make you masturbate with a printed out sheet of your own copy when you're interviewed at the Guardian or if it's something they teach The shout went up: "Run, Pedro, run!" So Pedro Rodríguez ran. Fast. Across the concourse, beyond the baggage check, down the escalator and along platform two, security guard puffing away behind him as if his name was Marcelo da Silva. From the train, Pep Guardiola peered out anxiously as he approached and the warning sounded. Beep-beep-beep. Run, Pedro, run! Skidding across the polished floor, spinning on his heel with a cartoon screech and turning, Pedro finally hopped through the door just as it closed with an airy whoosh. Standing there on AVE 03162, the FC Barcelona delegate Carlos Naval breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his watch. It was 4.01pm on Saturday afternoon and Barcelona had a match to go to. Trouble was, that match kicked off in four hours time. Four hundred and eighty-nine kilometres away. Time was ticking. And so it was that Barcelona became Odysseus heading for Ithaca, Jake and Ellwood wearing sunglasses in the dark, Del Griffith finding that those aren't pillows. There were no planes, at least not yet, so trains and automobiles would have to do. It became a mad dash, Lola sprinting across Berlin, desperately trying to reach the Aktiv Markt before Manni pulled a pistol. Only, as well as the thumping sound of Tom Tykwer, the theme to Benny Hill sprang to mind – a sped-up, silly soundtrack punctured by accusation and recrimination.

quote:City are owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan, a key figure in Abu Dhabi, the leading principality in the seven-strong federation, the United Arab Emirates. Mansour is the fifth son of Fatima bint Mubarak Al Ketbi, known as “Mother of the Sheikhs” since her six sons gained ascendancy over Abu Dhabi 20 years ago. Mansour is the chief adviser to his oldest brother, the UAE president Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, acting as both his vice-president and deputy prime minister (by convention, the UAE prime minister is the leader of Dubai). In common with other principalities, such as Monaco, Abu Dhabi is an autocracy. The larger UAE federation is a complex power negotiation between multiple aristocratic stakeholders, governed by both a constitution and by clannish conventions. In this highly politicised environment, Mansour has earned a formidable reputation as a politician and business strategist. Abu Dhabi has the third richest state fund in the world but, unlike Qatar’s ownership of Paris Saint-Germain or Saudi Arabia’s holdings in Newcastle, City are not owned by the state. ah, you see, City aren't owned by the UAE as a state, they're only owned by the sheikh of Abu Dhabi and president of the UAE's younger brother, who also happens to be the vice president and deputy prime minister of the UAE, so it's fine

Xabi posted:Which idiot wrote that? It's a purely factual description of some of the people involved in City's ownership and where they fit in to the political ruling class of Abu Dhabi and the UAE, what's idiotic about it? Like it seems obvious to me that the situation is a lot more complex than the UAE directly owning us, look at how many other football teams Emirates airlines are involved in sponsoring for example. Like I'm not making a value judgment on the morality of the owners or foreign investment/ownership of football teams in general but trying to understand the nuance involved doesn't strike me as idiotic at all and tbh the lot of you seem to be being wilfully ignorant and a little racist. Like of course there's a laundry list of issues with each of the states mentioned but that surely warrants a more detailed understanding of the specifics of how and why each of them suck rather than 'all Arab owners are exactly the same and terrible'.

It's not about them being Arab, dude. If Vladimir Putin's younger brother also happened to be the Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister of Russia and he owned a football club, it would be just as stupid for a fan of that club to write an article saying "ah, well technically my club isn't owned by the Russian state so it's all fine"

There's definitely some City bias in there with how he discusses the way our owners have done their business but pointing out that different ownership groups are different doesn't seem controversial to me. I've had a front line seat to this poo poo for the last 15 years and I've never felt it was purely a front for the UAE - Abu Dhabi, certainly, but not the whole country.
