Why does the Europeans always some how have to make a dig at the USA? You all make your own bad discussions. We didn't show you the way. Look back at your own history and we weren't even a country yet. If anything we followed you. It's bad enough we do make some pretty piss pore discussions but we do not blame anyone else for them. Take responsibility, PLEASE! Tracy Las Vegas, Nevada USA

This must be one of the poorest articles I have ever read. The writer has just blurted out a opinion with nothing back up his claims what so ever. Then he has to put Manchester City in his headline, so now not only are we ruining football were ruining the whole of the UK economy as well, and its Manchester City fault for all of the immigrants heading for the UK. At least we are spending are own money and not having to borrow it. So get a life mate and grow up.

Correction! Not your money mate it's the Arabs and they will piss off as fast as they arrived if they don't get all that land to develop around Eastlands! The transfer cash is mere chicken feed to them and Hughes has been told he can spend as much as he wants. Remember! This is Manchester City - something's BOUND to go wrong!!!!

You cannot reverse the effects of several cultural shifts leading up to the industrial revolution, let alone what's happened during and since, ie. the rapid growth of humanity and its move from rural to urban. These effects are not only recorded in the easier spread of disease, but also in the easier achievement of collateral. There is an adjustment on the way, possibly in terms of a pandemic, or perhaps related to climate change. Would you be blaming Manchester City for that? Think about it, when the first real pandemic (plague) hit northern Europe in the 14th century, it changed the world. Up to 50% of the population died. The effects of this were that serfdom (slavery) was no longer possible because people demanded wages!! Obviously, City were to blame for this as well. What we have now is chaos, where no one really knows what's really happening, and cacaphony, where no one can hear the voices because of the racket. A correction will come. At that point, there may be lots of Kaka.. hitting all the fans..

why don't u comment on every other facet of society instead of just football u FK

I tend to agree with you mate! I think you might well be spot on!!!! Should clear the air a bit though shouldn't it? I'm heading for the nearest bunker!
