Aahh yeesss. Sports washing. The art of growing your small/unsuccessful club into a larger more successful one without waiting 3 decades for it to happen naturally… such a crime.
Nope. It’s the process of using something that people love and care about( football ) to improve the image of something or someone terrible.

Aaahhhh yes and no one has ever cared about it until City started to be successful. Success really does have a way of bringing out the jealousy in others. I’m not a city fan so I guess I may be biased but seeing City become a top team hasn’t changed my opinion on the Arab states at all, not even 1 bit.

This has always been the case. Refs have been corrupt for decades, and as long as its your team favoured, you haven’t cared.
