On social media, many of those sitting in judgement made the connection between Baker's south London roots, his love of football and his support for Millwall. It stood to reason that he would harbour horrid prejudices because he was a white, working class, Millwall fan. There's a word for that, you know.
This is a final constructed with the least thought, even for the playing participants, given that it has now been revealed that Henrikh Mkhitaryan of Arsenal might not be able to get a visa, due to Armenia's war footing with Azerbaijan.
And it hasn't happened for a while - not since Manchester United in 2008-09 - and never by winning a combined 198 points, so there is a lot of projection. Yet City were never this successful until Guardiola arrived.
Manuel Pellegrini won the title in his first season, but went downhill after. Roberto Mancini ended up in a ruinously fractious relationship with the club, and a single title win. The new money ensures the dominance of super powers like Juventus and Bayern Munich is not such a factor in the English game.
The Authorisation of Residence for Investment Activity for people from non-EU countries, commonly known as the golden visa programme, has been heavily criticised at home for sending house prices and rents up, and the European Commission has called for the end of such national schemes.
LISBON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Portugal is likely to scrap its "golden visa" programme giving wealthy foreigners residence rights, Prime Minister Antonio Costa said on Wednesday, saying that the 10-year-old scheme had already fulfilled its role.
Salomon Rondon is still unsure of his Newcastle future, despite scoring 11 goals this season and becoming the first Newcastle striker to win the club's Player of the Year since Alan Shearer in 2003. Rondon is on loan from West Brom but, at 30, his age profile apparently goes against the club's policy. Imagine - there's a policy. Who knew?
In Portugal, it has attracted 6.5 billion euros in investment by foreigners, mainly from China, Brazil and South Africa, with the bulk of the money going into real estate.

Costa said Portugal wanted to continue to be attractive, with one example being its recent law, enacted on Monday, that created the so-called digital nomads visa. It gives foreigners with high monthly income from remote work to live and work from Portugal for a year.
Looking at Brighton's team sheet, it is surely no surprise the club battled relegation. With the exception of Lewis Dunk, arguably no individual would get into a team in the top half. So Chris Hughton's sacking is harsh.
And then, one day, Pep Guardiola will depart. How do they replace him; indeed, who could replace him? City possess a more sophisticated executive strategy than United, but that doesn't mean there will not be a Guardiola effect.
One of the advantages of a two-year lead time is the compilation of evaluation reports; detailed analyses of venue logistics, including international transportation. Meaning UEFA knew of Baku's flaws and the unavoidable restrictions on tickets but ignored it.
It is a myth that UEFA, or any remotely competent organisation, cannot organise an event in two months. If it goes the distance, baseball's World Series completes its post-season play-offs two or three days before the finals begin.
If Mauricio Pochettino was a Tottenham player he would have been widely castigated for his behaviour at the end of last week, Champions League final or not. Why does he keep talking about his future at Tottenham? More specifically, why does he keep talking about not having one?
Many years ago, when Sky's coverage of the Premier League was in its infancy, a very famous former England footballer was the studio guest. He was asked what he expected to see from a young winger, a talent on the rise, tipped for international honours. 'Not much, really,' he replied.
How could UEFA award such a fixture to a city without first establishing that all players would be able to gain access? That alone should have been a red flag in 2017 - or at least sorted out months ago when it was clear that Arsenal's presence in the final was very possible.
We appear to have moved on since then. And for those that have not, perhaps the sight of three African players - Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - sharing this season's Golden Boot with 22 goals each will persuade. It's not where you're from that counts; it's where you're at.
By the time Europe's richest clubs had finished fashioning financial fair play into a protectionist's charter, Manchester United, it seemed, were golden. Nothing would challenge their elite status. They had neutered the power of new money; they had insured themselves against the day Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down.
