City very appropriately giving the ref a standing ovation.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan would be a very appropriate person to present the trophy to the Abu Dhabi captain.
A shit club that won it in a suitably shit way. Inter were the better team there.

A “victory” that has all the romance of a gang rape.

Looks all very anti climatic. Even the City supporters know they have no business being there.
It’s a remarkable achievement all the same. To take 15 years to buy the Champions League with the wealth of a petro-state behind you while flouting every rule in the book is some going.

It’s just like 1967 when Inter Milan lost to the Lisbon Lions with their 9 players born within 10 miles of Celtic Park, and then the two blow ins, Tommy Gemmell born 11 miles away and Bobby Lennox a mammoth 30 miles away.
Exactly the same, really.

If Abu Dhabi were a television sports presenter they’d be Jake Humphrey.

“What do you think it will do for their confidence as a team?”
They’ll be full of confidence going into the Charity Shield
Another one of those ex-players who’s surely not short of cash promoting betting companies on his Twitter account. My bets of the weekend in association with blah blah blah online betting where you can go for all your betting needs etc etc. Fuck off Shay.

If he could have bothered his ass to get across and grab the ball in a similar manner to how he goes out of his way to grab the cash, Ireland might not have lost to Croatia.
The Superbowl gets a lot of criticism for how the trophy is presented to the owners but personally I felt a Superbowl style presentation of the trophy to the ruler of Abu Dhabi followed by an extremely soft focus interview by that Spanish guy would have been much more appropriate there tonight.

He played injured that day and it fucked us
That’ll do.
Thanks guys.
The most charming “victory” and "“vindication” in football since Michael Owen stuck all those shots past a 13 year old in a soccer skills video.
