I stopped watching SSN about five years ago. Very occasionally I happen to see bits of it through various circumstances, e.g. in a pub. Fuck me, the decline in standards since Comcast took over is there for all to see. I'm desperate to see their domestic monopoly (TNT are merely managed opposition) broken, shattered and left in a state beyond repair. Awful broadcaster run by horrible people.Cant believe how bad sky sports has become,most of the new presentors are absolute shite, going down the nick every week.
Awwwww, please don't ban me. Pretty please. ;-) ;-)MODS can we ban her ? ;) ;)
To be fair this "trial" is a huge story, the UK press will be gutted when it ends, not sure how they will fill the space, even more so with a not guilty verdict.You know this press conference today...... well weren't they supposed to be talking about a football match tomorrow? You know, the one v Brentford?
I've not seen any mention of football as yet on this BBC website!!!
He should ask him if he is asking that question as an impartial fair journalist or as a rabid United fan?And what was Peps response IMN ? Hopefully it was "Fuck off Stones back to your hard up and skint neighbours from out of our town".
Yes, I would like to be fair, but then I think... why should I be fair to them, they are never fair to us. Swings and roundabouts. :-)To be fair this "trial" is a huge story, the UK press will be gutted when it ends, not sure how they will fill the space, even more so with a not guilty verdict.
This is the bit I have difficulty with in understanding the PLs position regarding the equity funding allegations.
At CAS they know the evidence from the emails has been properly considered against rebuttal evidence provided by CIty including the full run of the emails and therefore the missing context, evidence from City (Pearce) and evidence from Etihad, (didn't Etihad's representative say the allegation they only paid 8 million was ridiculous considering the sponsorship valuation), expert witness testimony from an accounts expert regarding the contents of Etihad's accounts and ADUG accounts (confirming no payments were made, particularly from HHSM or ADUG, but none of sufficient value, or smaller multiples thereof to cover the balance of the sponsorship value.
No other evidence other than the emails was offered by UEFA.
The above provided the basis from which the justices formed their "No evidence" opinion that equity funding took place.
So what possible evidence could be available (that City or Etihad would reasonably release to the PL if they were guilty) to prove such conduct did in fact take place? I strongly suspect there is none.
If there is none then the PL are relying solely that the IC will reach a finding contrary to the CAS justices (ignoring the 2-1 majority debacle). Isn't that going out on a limb somewhat with paper thin reasoning to believe that outcome is possible, considering the more likely outcome?
The more you try and reason it the more perplexing it becomes. Yet the PL are prepared to throw a 5 year, £20 Million "Hail Mary" at it.
Should things go in our favour as I suspect then the PL will get everything they deserve in the fallout. If it were possible I personally think we should pursue them for reputational damages should it be such a spectacular failure. The whole thing will have proved nothing more than a witch hunt with a show trial based on the flimsiest of evidence on already litigated matters.

Just said yeah we want it sorting soon as, gave him short shrift.And what was Peps response IMN ? Hopefully it was "Fuck off Stones back to your hard up and skint neighbours from out of our town".
Imagine you were a journalist looking to distinguish yourself from the herd and make a name for yourself.
Wouldn't you think that exploring the possibility that City are just the victim of a witch-hunt and completely innocent would be worth an article?
Wouldn't it also be worth exploring the effect of such an outcome on the PL?
Maybe Martin Samuel will write something in his next column.

And they'll still take no notice of us and say we must have cheated somehow!!When we get proven innocent then we can come out and let them all know what witch hunt it was by certain clubs and the media were utter one eyed cunts
The look of utter contempt from Pep when Stones talks is priceless.Just said yeah we want it sorting soon as, gave him short shrift.
Yes, hundreds of ‘City fans to desecrate the dead’ articles followed by radio silence afterwards, although the result may have had a hand in thatVaguely reminiscent of the build up to the 50th anniversary of Munich and then the sense of anti climax when the City fans didn't do anything wrong.
And the only person, to my mind, who disrespected the dead that day was Ferguson chewing away as he laid a wreath in memorial. Disgraceful.Yes, hundreds of ‘City fans to desecrate the dead’ articles followed by radio silence afterwards, although the result may have had a hand in that
Do you remember that twat that reported that the City fans had booed Milner during Vinny's testimonial and quickly retracted because Milner wasn't even at the game?Vaguely reminiscent of the build up to the 50th anniversary of Munich and then the sense of anti climax when the City fans didn't do anything wrong.

Rolf or Chopper?That's his Harris to Trump face.
