@KaleabMesf81279 @nigel_b_golf Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good lie

@nigel_b_golf Weren't the city tickets sold out almost immediately?

Hundreds of tickets available in the City seating areas today…… Arsenal full ground takeover pending?

What was your favourite weapon before the recoil update in 2022? I'll go first:

@OilTeam_ @playrust @SilentsPov Have you seen this? We was born for this event

On 14th of March we are hosting a @playrust 100 vs. 100 Creator Naval Battle event! If you are content creator and would like to participate, feel free to reach out! Creators can make their own 10-player boat crews or join someone else's crew! 🌊⛵️

@ErrnieGerrn I think he likes you

Good morning

@Oblivion_OnX I know this already happens for some quads. Mixed group around 10 deep UK, US and Auz play on quad servers and just share the four Rust accounts so they’re online 24/7

Always wanted to do an wipe where a Rust player from EU plays for 12 hours, logs out and then the player from US or AU plays for the next 12. They can't be on at the same time but they progress together as solos. I haven't got any YT mates to try this with. So someone try it plz

@HedgesnVideos @playrust I know a lot of people that came back for the naval update, great to see

For the first time since 2017 in @playrust the month of February has had a higher Average Playercount compared to the previous January! steamcharts.com/app/252490 Naval Update most likely being the key factor, have you been enjoying it? #Rust #Playrust

@Scott_Pert City fans don’t think about you at all

The reason I’d rather see Manchester City win the PL over Arsenal is simple. Man City are CHEATS! They could win EVERY trophy but not a single fan outside of Bertie’s who would recognise their achievement. Arsenal fans would be fucking annoying, City fans are irrelevant….

I have a conspiracy about Arsenal. By Sunday after the match I will confirm it or it will stay a conspiracy.

@AmosMurphy_ I was highly sceptical until I saw the (confirmed). All the evidence I need

(Confirmed)

@imVertzo @Dirtrider478 It’s bugged. Seems to be more so when you sink outside the deep sea. Around 50% of sunken boats outside the DS’s doors did not break

@Dirtrider478 Not sure what caused that but when they sink the doors are supposed to instantly get deleted

great update when you cant even get your loot...

@SeftonGareth @sportingintel I don’t think there was an admission of guilt in that case

@sportingintel Yes we was fined in 2014 which we pleaded guilty to as uafa changed the rules and we never had time to comply to them but you won't report that will you because it won't get you clicks

So many Man City fans seem to think the 115 case is the first time they've been accused of financial misconduct and don't recall multiple previous cases and €90m of fines, later reduced to "only" €30m. Hope this Q&A refreshes memories

@skierrust Could be a cross sever ban. Make a ticket and chat to the Admins

banned again on a completely different server network 3 days after last ban

👀🔜

@imVertzo @tacularr Vouch 👍🏻 Best in class builder and will suit your play style

@tacularr I’m always gaming and pretty much only play US sooooo

Need a rust stream squad that wants to play US servers regularly. I want to focus more on streaming Rust this year so which creators are keen?? I can't play EU cuz 290+ ping even with rerouting :(

304 BILLION BARRELS. That’s the real reason Venezuela matters. Sky News just laid it out plainly: Trump’s Venezuela obsession was never really about drugs. It’s about oil, specifically heavy crude. The U.S. now produces tons of light shale oil, but our Gulf Coast refineries were built for heavy, gloopy crude. They need it to function. And guess who has the largest proven reserves of heavy oil on Earth? Venezuela. Canada has some. Russia has some. But Venezuela has the most, 304 billion barrels sitting underground. That’s why tankers, sanctions, regime change talk, and now bombs. It was never about fentanyl. It was never about democracy. It’s about feeding refineries, controlling supply, and locking down oil before rivals do.

@matissearmani I’d also like to rule myself out of the Chelsea job 😂😂😂

I’d like to confirm that I wish to remain head coach of Strasbourg & have no interest in the Chelsea vacancy.

@Halliwell1986 @AdamJoseph They won’t know what to do with facts, too busy making more tin foil hats

@AdamJoseph @Bunt1ngRust City were found guilty of nothing in 2014. You can't even get the simplest fact correct. 2014 also had nothing to do with financial irregularities 2014 was a disagreement about deductions for players signed prior to 2010 You truly don't have a clue what you're talking about

🧵 THREAD: Manchester City, the charges, the evidence, & how justice was delayed. Manchester City weren’t charged because rivals complained or because they 'spent big'. They were charged because evidence shows a decade-long system designed to hide owner funding, inflate revenue & deceive & obstruct investigations. The Premier League’s case didn’t appear overnight. It began in late 2018, triggered by Football Leaks documents - internal emails, invoices, contracts - that contradicted what City had been telling UEFA & the Premier League for years. Those emails are the backbone of everything that followed. At the centre of the case is a simple allegation: Manchester City repeatedly disguised owner funding as commercial revenue. FFP rules require sponsorship income to be real, independent, and market value. What the emails suggest is that City’s biggest 'sponsors' weren’t paying what City claimed - Abu Dhabi was. Take Etihad as an example. Leaked emails show City executives discussing Etihad paying only a fraction of headline sponsorship deals, with the shortfall quietly topped up by Abu Dhabi government-linked entities. One email explicitly references ensuring funds 'come through the correct channels' so they are not detected as separate sources of funding. That is the definition of disguised equity. This wasn’t a one-off. Emails show Etihad deals where shirt sponsorship, stadium, training kit & campus naming rights were all inflated wildly out of line with the market at the time - later confirmed in the actual contracts, not just drafts. The numbers in the leaks weren’t hypothetical. They were real. UEFA auditors suspected this as early as 2013–14. They found £47m of 'intellectual property' sales boosting income, a £5m 'win bonus' paid for an FA Cup final City lost & sponsorships from Aabar and Etisalat above market value. City were fined & restricted - but crucially, UEFA never saw the full records. Why? Because City refused to provide them. This becomes a pattern. When UEFA charged City again in 2020, they imposed a two-year Champions League ban. City appealed to CAS & had it overturned. City fans shout 'INNOCENT', shared out of context screenshots. They're wrong. CAS did not rule that City were innocent. CAS ruled that UEFA could not meet the burden of proof - largely because City did not co-operate. City were fined €10m specifically for obstructing the investigation. Even City's own expert witness was denied access to key information that could have disproved disguised funding. 'No evidence' doesn’t mean nothing happened. It means the evidence was withheld. CAS explicitly stated that disguised equity funding could not be excluded - only that neither side could conclusively prove their case. That vagueness was entirely engineered. After CAS, new emails emerged suggesting Simon Pearce, a senior City executive & Sheikh Mansour adviser, had given misleading testimony under oath. City declined to comment. Again. While all this was happening, the Premier League had already been investigating City for years. City’s response? Delay. Delay. Delay. Obstruct. Litigate. Court filings later revealed City challenged the legality of the investigation itself, filed repeated procedural applications, refused to hand over documents, forced arbitration, then challenged arbitration & tried to keep the entire process secret. A High Court judge called it out in 2021. “It is surprising, and a matter of legitimate public concern, that so little progress has been made.” That’s legal spiel for stonewalling. This obstruction accounts for 35 of the 115 charges alone & that’s before we get to the secret payments. City declared Roberto Mancini's salary as £1.45m per year. On the same day he signed with City, he also signed a “consultancy” deal with Al Jazira - a club owned by the same man who owns City - worth £1.75m per year. That deal was explicitly marked confidential. Emails show City executives arranging the payments. Same signatures. Same people. Same day. The allegation is obvious: City paid Mancini off the books. Leaked documents allege undeclared payments for Yaya Touré, including via third parties. These aren’t rumours. They’re contracts, emails, invoices. This is why there are 14 charges relating to manager and player remuneration. Then there’s image rights. City told UEFA they sold player image rights for a £24.5m lump sum to comply with FFP. Later, they quietly resumed earning millions from image rights again. The buyer? A company whose directors included City’s own senior legal officer. Independent journalists couldn’t even establish its genuine commercial purpose. All of this feeds into the core allegation across 54 charges: City failed to provide accurate financial information in good faith. Not once. Not twice. But repeatedly, over nearly a decade. Now add politics. UK government departments discussed City’s charges with the British embassy in Abu Dhabi. Those communications are sealed - because releasing them could 'damage relations with the UAE'. City insist they are not state-backed. Then why is the state involved? Yet still, the delays continue. A 12-week closed-door hearing. Half a million documents. Years of silence. City remain 'innocent' - not because the evidence disappeared, but because the verdict hasn’t landed. This is why the case matters. If City walk away with a fine, it tells every club to cheat cleverly, obstruct endlessly, spend on lawyers, not compliance.. & the rules collapse. This isn’t about jealousy. It isn’t about success. It’s about whether financial regulation in English football is real - or optional for the richest club in the league. The evidence exists. The emails exist. The delays are documented. Now only one question remains, do the rules apply to City or not?

@AdamJoseph Ah so if you cheat and tell people you did it that’s absolutely fine. Point still stands, perhaps keep your own house in order before throwing unfounded accusations around

@Bunt1ngRust You know Manchester United self reported? You know Manchester City were found guilty in 2014? Proven rule-breaking, creative accounting to disguise losses & a strategy of doing just enough to avoid the harshest sanction. You don't even know your own club's.. 'history'.

@Warriorrust It’s the people who run the country. You will have met one, possibly someone you know really well. There are a lot of Free Mason chapters in Yorkshire

Genuinely no idea what a free mason is nor have I met one????? What
