Football analysis with attitude.
Manchester City and their shenanigans continue to dominate the agenda with nobody even pretending to still be interested in the Iceland game or whichever Gareth Southgate squad decision is to be blamed for that and/or England’s inevitable upcoming humiliating Euro 2024 exit.What we have learned from City suing the FA is that just like the country their owners control, City want to rule with an iron fist.
You might laugh and find that ridiculous hyperbole but so far they have just decided to ignore rules that everyone else follows and then when they’re faced with a consequence for ignoring it they go to court to play victim. I feel sad for City fans because this should be a proud period for them, instead their brutal and violent owners are turning the sport into their own play thing with force., but first I need to wax at length about what kind of fan I am. I am an Arsenal fan, but I did not grow up in North London, I grew up in rural western Canada. In 2011 I moved from northern Alberta to southern California, for reasons that are probably pretty obvious to anyone who’s ever been to northern Alberta.
In those early days I went to this local English pub that would open at 5am and play all the games for a crowd of American hipsters and a few shockingly intense British ex-pats, most memorably this one meticulously dressed elderly Mancunian who would just stand there motionless in front of the screen playing United for two hours, fists at his side, clenched, teeth clenched, just repeating “c’mon you fookin reds!” over and over again. It was a good time.
I obviously wouldn’t jump ship to some other Premier League team, but I’d probably just devote myself to women’s soccer in America– I’m already trying to do more of that anyway.
