Christian Bale has not signed a multi-picture deal to return as Bruce Wayne in a new Dark Knight film directed by Christopher Nolan. The claim originates from known parody accounts and is unsupported by credible reporting.

On paper yeah it’s “cheating” but let’s be honest it’s not is it, a billionaire bought a club outside of the big 4 and wanted them to be the best
He cooked the books to use his own money and make them a huge footballing power that’s now self sufficient
Wouldn’t surprise me if they get let off with a fine
They haven’t damaged the club they have improved it
They haven’t damaged the league they have made it exciting, the league now has 6/7 teams going for the top 4 positions
Let Newcastle do the same
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Manchester City received £949.94 MILLION in commercial income from Abu Dhabi sponsors between 2009 and 2018.
Only £119.25M actually came from the sponsors themselves.
The remaining £830.69M consisted of “Tagged Sums” paid by Abu Dhabi United Group, Manchester City’s owners.

Violating rules is quite literally the definition of cheating:

An independent commission found Manchester City guilty of serious breaches of Premier League financial fair play rules

This means they cheated and so if we’re being “honest” we would call it cheating

A MARK OF RESPECT
Today, everyone at FC Hartlepool will be observing a social media blackout as we pay our respects to PC Matt Blades on the day of his funeral.
Matt, a much-loved and highly respected coach at FC Hartlepool, gave so much of his time to the club and made a lasting impression on so many people within FC and across the wider Hartlepool community.
Our thoughts are with Matt’s family, friends, colleagues and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Our thoughts are also with the family and friends of PC Tom Clough, Matt’s colleague and partner, at this incredibly difficult time.
FC Hartlepool will remain silent across our social media channels today as a small mark of our respect.🔴🔵
Rest in peace, Coach Matt.

Who has stood by us this last year and a half?
It hasn't been the US or these pigs in the GOP.
It certainly fucking hasn't been Israel.
It has been (despite our differences with them) France - & Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
These are our REAL special relationships.
As the British government considers forcing British companies to boycott portions of Israel, it should be aware that a Florida law that I passed as a member of the Legislature would ban any British company forced to comply from doing business with any state or local government in Florida.
It would also end any British business participating in that boycott from doing any business in Florida if it needed any official interaction with state or local government to operate (permits, tax collection).
Florida is one of Britain’s largest trading partners. They should understand that their vanity project in support of Muslim terror could cost them billions of dollars.
And for those who doubt the power of this policy, it was this same law that broke Airbnb’s misguided effort to boycott portions of Israel in 2019. They realized that this law would have bankrupted their company.
Florida has made it clear. Any company — or nation — that boycotts Israel is boycotted by Florida.
