what have I missed ....trying to catch up on the thread...they hacked other teams ?

There's loads of PB posts suggesting the football world is going to collapse thanks to City's information.

I have my doubts on his ITK status but I was in conjunction with TH's post that the Prem will take no action against us making the comment that if they did take some action against us they'd potentially have to take much greater action against the dips and others and as they'd never do won't set a precedent against us.

don’t doubt him, he’s very very well connected.

Kev’s lad?

Don't think so but he does have an aggressive walk

he might be wrong on the outcome because We’ve already seen our hacking case brushed aside by the FA. But if he says there’s something dodgy going on then there is

Next to Prince William?

So he is with the Villa fans then?

Did you sleep with his wife?

I wish!

I was watching a channel 4 documentary on the Windsors Saturday night, called
"D-Day: The King Who Fooled Hitler"

This highlighted just how much deep seated prejudice the upper class have to the arab culture. I hadn't really appreciated it before, since I don't know anyone with such views. I hope it doesn't influence us getting justice?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Enquiries have been made at the highest level

I wonder if he’s been guilty of aggressive praying?

You know you are slowing down, GDM, when @George Hannah beats you to the punch. ;-)

VAR and Uefa investigation

The loss of Kompany, the loss of Laporte/Sane & Fernandinho moving to defence/Rodri settling in.
That's my take anyway.

It’s worthy of note that you both cite multiple (and different) factors and yet some people seem more than willing to ascribe Leicester’s success simply down to doping. Even if they were doing so (and I don’t accept it was as orchestrated as others claim, even if it was going on) there will have been a number of elements that conspired to produce that outcome, some of them perfectly reasonable and within the rules, like the low point total that season. I don’t accept you can win a title simply by taking more PEDs. The world of team sport cannot and does not operate that way at the highest level.

If we accept, therefore, that drug use is widespread throughout the upper reaches of the game, then to impute Leicester‘s title win simply to PEDing is an egregious oversimplification, even if you accept it went on.

I distinctly remember they had the pre VAR Liverpool equivalent of PiGMOB's help that season as well.

Rarely if ever booked, penalty after penalty given.

You dont go from fighting relegation to winning the league convincingly to fighting relegation again, you just dont.

It wasn't a documentary, it's a comedy starring Harry Enfield

Unless you're City 1936-1938 :-)

Leicester deserved to win the league, they were the best team, I don't believe the ped story.

There is a comedy of that name, this wasn't. It was a proper investigative documentary looking at past letters etc. Hinted at death threats for Hussein?
(The program title was:"D-Day: The King Who Fooled Hitler")

 

[Keeper!]

I’d like to hear some alternative explanations for what they did, out of the blue. Not every title winning team does it out of the blue like that with a sudden upturn.
Some, like our teams of the past decade have built up to it.
Sudden step changes are the classic sign in track & field, cycling etc, and should be a source of suspicion in football too.

Of course there are peds in football; every other sport has them so why wouldn’t this one? It’s certainly not because of any tough testing regime of random blood testing and biological passports that’s for sure.

Every highly paid athlete is on them, there is far too much money in sport not to.

It's incredible that one particular player who is regarded as the best if not 2nd best is getting fitter and stronger with age...mmmmmm

Liverpool defenders trying to track back yesterday was like watching slugs wade through treacle

total contrast

20 point lead that's why

Was going to post the same but went through a tunnel!
