    Before the Arabs and Russians took an interest in these two clubs languishing in the never never or Nowhere as you put it. They were nuthin. Well Citeh were known to some. To me maybe because they had a goalie who was my hero.

    It's widely rumored that Melania helped in the writing of his speech.

    1) The White House is being run by people with no idea what to write / they are missing people.

    2) This probably shows that the entire dairy/timber incident was over a report on Fox business.

    3) The US exports more dairy to Canada than is imported

    4) This seems the case of a US company and a segment of the Dairy industry getting caught with overproduction and then stiffing 75 farms because they don't want to pay for something they can't sell.

    Easy if you have several bazillion rubles.
    Spurs of 16/17 could be the Leicester of 15/16. :)

    It's funny that Citeh is now considered the plastic club. My first exposure to them was as the realest of real clubs. I was drawn to the Citeh culture because of the 80's Manchester music scene association. It's a cliché, but I went through the typical teenage brooding Mancunian phase ... Joy Division, The Smiths, New Order etc ... Can't explore that music style without being exposed to a heavy dose of Man City culture.

    Having never been to the UK I always imagine the club culture with the pop culture that it's associated with. Black Sabbath and Aston Villa. Birmingham City and 2 tone and ska. Liverpool and The Beatles ...

    I don't think Ken Bates gets enough credit for bringing Chelsea back. Sure they were debt at the end of his tenure, but he modernized the club, made them fashionable, and late in his tenure brought in some rather good players. They were already in the CL prior to Abramovich's purchase. Abramovich just brought a financial stability which Bates couldn't.

    Chelsea had Zola, while Shiteh had Keegan.

    Anyway, just saw Kasich on TDS and man do I wish Repubs were more like him. If it wasn't for his Anti-abortion stance I could vote for him. My real thing as a Liberal is there use to be guys like him, McMullan, Wilson and Navarro that would fight you but it was about different ways to solve a problem and the sides could always find a compromise even if as lib, I want more, I knew it was a compromise. No it is power above all else.

    And Tony Wilson as we know was quite the character...and a ManU supporter:

    There is an old story about the late Tony Wilson that probably sums up just how far some of the people who are locked into the Manchester-Liverpool enmity will go in the name of one‑upmanship and, more than anything, the importance that is placed on having the last word.

    Wilson certainly had a way of revving it up when the man behind Factory Records and the Hacienda nightclub – music mogul, broadcaster, impresario and professional Salfordian – earned his crust presenting Granada Reports, staring into the cameras with a level of self-adoration not often witnessed on regional news programmes and clearly loving the fact his opinions went straight into people’s living rooms.


    For every on-air story about Liverpool, there would be a dry little aside, perhaps a roll of the eyes for added effect, or a sigh if it was his duty, as it often was, to report good news from Anfield. Wilson was simply incapable of hiding his allegiance to Manchester United. “He must have alienated potentially half the audience,” his co-presenter, Bob Greaves, once said. “A lot of people thought he was the bee’s knees. But everybody in Liverpool hated him. He would demean Liverpool with every word … every gesture he could.

    “The favourite phrase I used to get whenever I went to Liverpool – as soon as I got off a train or out of my car – was: ‘Hey, Bob, tell that Tony Wilson he’s a wanker.’ I must have had that delivered to me thousands of times. How he got away with it for so long before he was bollocked by the hierarchy I will never know.”

    Wilson presented one programme on the eve of Liverpool’s 1978 European Cup finalwearing a FC Bruges rosette. It didn’t bring the Belgians any luck and the next day he had to deliver the news that Bob Paisley’s team were the kings of Europe, again. But it is the follow-up story, from 1983, that probably sums up the way the two cities make it their business to score points off one another.

    Greaves used to tell it best, starting with the telephone call he received in Granada’s newsroom from a Merseyside police sergeant informing him Wilson’s brand new Jaguar had been found, stolen, in Liverpool. “Tony came in and I said: ‘I’ve had the police on – your car’s in Liverpool.’ So he got the train over to Liverpool, found his car, and three hours later the car was back outside Granada. Then, later that afternoon, I got another call. ‘Sergeant Carruthers here again. Can you tell Mr Wilson his car is still here in Eckersley Avenue?’ The scallies had watched him pick it up, followed him back, stolen it again, driven it back to Liverpool and parked it in exactly the same place. They never damaged it, they just played the game. They inconvenienced him. He’d obviously slagged off Liverpool one too many times. They followed him, they took it back and he had to get it twice in one day. He gave them begrudging respect: ‘Gotta say, man, good scam.’”

    I will personally blow up this tweet when he talks about the "ban" case. He himself is calling it a ban.

    But that's the entire argument. It's the primary reason for that the other side has a case. The tweet is really dumb.

    Meanwhile, in China....

    Now an official adviser to her father’s White House, [Ivanka] Trump stepped down from her management role but retains an ownership interest in her name-brand company. Its assets were moved into a trust that is now overseen by her husband’s siblings. Trump is the sole beneficiary of the trust, which is valued at more than $50 million.

    Chinese factories are by far the dominant suppliers for Ivanka clothes, though G-III also works with manufacturers across Vietnam, Bangladesh and South America. G-III factories overseas have shipped more than 110 tons of Ivanka-brand blouses, skirts, dresses and other garments to the United States since October, shipping data shows.

    The clothing line licensed by President Trump’s private business is also almost entirely made in foreign factories. Trump last week signed an executive order that he said would push the government to “aggressively promote and use American-made goods and to ensure that American labor is hired to do the job.”

    Workers at the G-III factory in China were required to work 57 hours a week “on a regular basis” to hit production targets, inspectors found. Though Chinese law sets the limit for overtime at 36 hours per month, workers in all of the factory’s departments exceeded that limit, working up to 82 hours of overtime a month between September 2015 and August 2016.

    The factory’s workers made between 1,879 and 2,088 yuan a month, or roughly $255 to $283, which would be below minimum wage in some parts of China. The average manufacturing employee in urban China made twice as much money as the factory’s workers, or roughly 4,280 yuan a month, according to national data from 2014.
    Are those jobs coming back to the US any time now?
