MIND AND SENSES PURIFIED
After Galatasaray fans celebrated wildly all over Old Trafford on Tuesday night as Manchester United entered their biennial terminal velocity mode, even better Turkey-based news followed for Manchester City suits this morning. The Turkish government’s decision to plump for a joint bid with Italy for the 2032 Euros rather than 2028 means England, Wales, Scotland, Norn Iron and the Republic O’Ireland will jointly host the soccer jamboree in five years’ time! Old Trafford, best soundtracked by Top Red Phil Collins’ “The Roof Is Leaking”, was not considered for inclusion. An expanded Etihad Stadium’s laser blue concourse will be Mancunia’s enormodome of choice, though renamed the City of Manchester Stadium for non-sponsorship purposes – unless Abu Dhabi sponsor the whole caboodle, which cannot be ruled out.
