Anyone seen any facts about the incident at Mk yesterday where their member of staff threw himself at the Reading player to fake injury/assault.

We can talk about Colston and Carnegie and whomever else you wish. In the particular case of Manchester City, it is quite clearly naked sports washing for their own political gain. I'm not sure why this is an issue pointing this out.

So you are against Carnegie's literacy washing and Gates' bad software washing and Mckenzie Scott's Amazon divorce washing?

Doesn't stop the people being happy. Should everyone hate Carnegie Libraries and similar urban improvements?

The biggest gainers of the EPL is the agents - followed by the players - as the players at least add something. The biggest losers are the working class fans who kept the game going and now cannot afford to go to games.

For the older/wiser folk on here… back in the late 80s when I started supporting Wimbledon was there as much talk about money? Seems to be that the sport has normalised money being the primary factor in football success to the point where it’s hard to have a decent conversation about the game without money being mentioned.

Burnham's Manchester received millions from City's owners. Was that making the rich even richer ?

The point of the Premier League is to make very rich people even richer, and in some instances, buy political influence for nefarious nation states. As OI says, other pastimes are available and I have chosen that option.

Yeah I do enjoy my Sunday afternoon games for neutral football enjoyment. But I also think that the Premier League is losing some of its attraction with VAR and PSR.

Forest v Arsenal next week for example holds little allure.
The Premier League is full of very skillful football players so even if you don't have a particular team you can still enjoy the football. Other leagues, sports or pastimes are available.

The owner's an interesting bloke and very knowledgeable, Lawrence. He gave a fascinating talk here on the history of zoos and travelling menageries. He included a story about a Victorian zoo keeper who refused to pay a toll on the road for his elephant because the toll legislation had no reference to elephants in it. There is a painting: 'The disputed toll' which is worth a Google. He did the talk without notes or slides or anything too. Just held us spellbound, as some such people can.

Cheers, Sandy ... the clearance was panicked in my view so it hit the opponent. Down the line for a throw in upfield was the best option. Of course, if it had missed the player it would have been a good clearance.
