Manchester City Have Installed A Catwalk At The Etihad. Football's Fucked

Modern football is littered with obnoxiously shit gimmicks on almost a weekly basis, whether it's a betting company using a pie wielding goalkeeper as a horrendous publicity stunt or Benfica's players exiting the pitch through a mock Emirates check in desk.

No, I've not made that last one up. Here, refresh your memories...

And tonight, ahead of their Champions League round of 16 tie with Monaco Manchester City have got in on the act by installing an ACTUAL FUCKING CATWALK for their players to enter the Etihad Stadium.

Because, clearly, Sergio Aguero needs to feel like he's debuting on Monday Night Raw whenever he's preparing for a home game.

In news that will surprise absolutely fucking nobody, the 'walkway' (catwalk) has been met with all the enthusiasm of a fart at a funeral.

At least if any of City's current team ever find themselves down on their luck during retirement and celebrity big brother comes calling, they'll have bags of experience making their way up the fucking entrance ramp.

Here's to Michael Buffer announcing each player, complete with individual nicknames, as they make their way into Eastlands in a haze of pyrotechnics and dry ice during the next home game.
