Yes, I got hammered on lovely red wine last night. And doing the same every night this week except Wednesday. Then I'll be getting hammered on Moretti and Heineken (sadly no Moretti in the ground). The joys of teaching.

They serve Moretti where I sit :)

So, a normal week, then?

Whilst staring at pictures of Uwe on your wall, would you mind digging out a guide to grammar? Go to the section marked, "Apostrophes". And fucking read it.

I'm writing on a discussion forum not writing a letter.

Based on CAS’s statement last week, in which they said City’s concerns about UEFA’s investigation were “not without merit”, it is very unlikely they would simply dismiss the appeal.

It would also completely subvert the concept of a civil appeal process if the economic and operational penalty can be imposed before the full appeal process is exhausted (as the mere initial implementation could exact irrevocable and long-lasting damages on the party appealing; not that UEFA’s decisión itself wasn’t meant to do that, but we may have recourse to sue for damages in that instance, as well).

I am not sure why CAS would even publicly be commenting?

OK Let me know when I have reached enough posts to have an opinion your highness.

He has a point. This past decade has been the greatest in the club's history. Yet you've barely posted anything praising of the team or manager. You seem to have jumped onto this issue, though. Most odd.

Here's a thought on the possible outcome at CAS.
1.Due process was not followed, specifically in Uefa's failure to address City's defence adequately.
2. The sanction is set aside.
3.Uefa must go back to the AC and properly consider that defence and reach a fresh conclusion.

Can you link me to an article where the Club denies anything? the Club statement reads:

Manchester City is disappointed but not surprised by today’s announcement by the UEFA Adjudicatory Chamber. The Club has always anticipated the ultimate need to seek out an independent body and process to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence in support of its position.
In December 2018, the UEFA Chief Investigator publicly previewed the outcome and sanction he intended to be delivered to Manchester City, before any investigation had even begun. The subsequent flawed and consistently leaked UEFA process he oversaw has meant that there was little doubt in the result that he would deliver. The Club has formally complained to the UEFA Disciplinary body, a complaint which was validated by a CAS ruling.

Simply put, this is a case initiated by UEFA, prosecuted by UEFA and judged by UEFA. With this prejudicial process now over, the Club will pursue an impartial judgment as quickly as possible and will therefore, in the first instance, commence proceedings with the Court of Arbitration for Sport at the earliest opportunity.

They haven't denied the findings what they have said is that they want an impartial judgment and for that to include their evidence too not just what evidence UEFA has. They are complaining about the process.

You aren't half tying yourself in knots trying to find us guilty

Probably best to stick to criticisms of what he says, rather than his grammar?
