PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Here's an example of how this shit impinges on normal life. I'm in a walking football club in the Midlands. Supporters of West Ham, villa, Southampton, wolves, Coventry and, of course, united, liverpool, spurs and arse.

A few weeks ago a liverpool supporter posted some shit about us cheating. I ignored it until the pile-on started when I just said "please fuck off with this shit". Well, of course, the scouser was all offended and I got a load of shit for being over sensitive. Anyway, it blows over.

Last night was the Christmas curry. I'm minding my own business talking football, price of replica shirts, admission, the future of football all perfectly amicable. Then an Arsenal fan chimes in, "I'm really enjoying watching City crash and burn". Now what do you say to that ?

As it's the season of goodwill, I was very polite and pointed out that I'd seen us win four in a row, win a treble, score a record number of goals and win a record number of points, seen Aguero, Silva, De Bruyne and Rodri at their peak, I can die happy. He then came out with a comment about cheating at which point I told him to fuck right off and it very nearly came to blows. It cast a cloud over the whole evening.

I should point out that not once did that bloke ever engage me in conversation to say something about the quality of football we were playing in our pomp, nor any word of praise. They are emboldened to think their opinion matters by the relentless negative press coverage.

Maybe so. I’m not sure what the protocol is with releasing the verdict. If they tell City and the prem weeks before it’s officially released, Ziegler will definitely leak it if the decision has gone the prems way.

To be fair, Ziegler doesn’t always leak negative news about City. He was the first journalist that I know of who leaked that we’d had some success in the APT case. He also was the one who ran the Liverpool hacking story.

Just for clarification, I still think he’s a bellend though!

Was minding my own business on a Musical Christmas Cruise on the Rhine in Cologne this afternoon when suddenly two rags appeared in front of me discussing last night's defeat at Tottenham

One of them was a young chirpy cockney, but the other looked roughly my age (60) and was Scottish. He was also wearing a United Christmas Jumper.
I wasn't particularly bothered but then I heard the Scottish bloke refer to City as "Cheats"

Purely by coincidence I followed him into the toilets, but without even turning around he locked himself in the cubicle as I approached the urinals.

To the backdrop of Jingle Bells I launched into

JINGLE BELLS
COPPELL SMELLS
MACARI IS A QUEER

I then returned to the top deck and sat with my totally oblivious Mrs.
His face when he came out of the toilets was fucking brilliant. Trying to look aggressive but he hadn't a fucking clue who it was.
Shouldn't laugh but I haven't stopped

Do we reckon he knows something? Also, I’d be interested in knowing how he sounded when he said that. In the run-up to the CAS verdict, he wasn’t exactly sounding despondent when he was asked about it ;)

You're not overly sensitive at all. Being a City fan can be socially very difficultin certain situationsand particularly outside Manchester. I had a similar experience at a Walking Football club in North Derbyshire. Every week I got a snide comment about City like "Do you think you'll get away with" and/or racist comments about our owners and players, or self-righteous nonsense about the charges. Just about every single week, something. I dealt with it as calmly as I could until some Chesterfield Rag interrupted a bit of jokey good natured back n forth between me and a Chesterfield supporting mate with false accusations suggesting City to be "corrupt" and very personal, nasty remarks to me when I challenged him. I'd never been referred to as "trash" before in my 59 years. When I later pointed out the good City's owners have done he said "Have you seen your owners?". You can draw your own conclusions from that. He got progressively nasty, abusive and threatening and I ended up leaving because the so-called "committee" did nothing about it. They effectively turned a blind eye, and even tried to blame me when I took exception to it. I never hit anyone or threatened anyone. I've joined two better kickabouts where I don't get any of that shit from Derby and Forest or other fans there. Tellingly there are no red cartel fans there.

The abuse happens elsewhere. I can be walking down the street in a City top and all sorts of "cheats" stuff is shouted. The dirty looks I ignore.

I get it at my daughter's football from completely ignorant people who have swallowed the media lies. Like others have said, as them what the charges are, and they can't tell you. The worst are the rags, Liverpool and Arsenal fans but others do pile on. Never had shit from Derby, Forest, Chesterfield and Blades fans and most Owls I know bar one arsehole.

I’ve had the same in Oz. I remember wearing a city trackie top at a kids Sunday league park & stood there whilst some bloke lectured me on how City are ruining football. It was 2013 so no FFP, no cheats, no human rights insults in those days just spending their own money.

The amount of young kids wearing City shirts then was huge & it did its work. Very few of these kids without Manc dads grew up as blues. The shit I’ve had over the years but thanks to this forum I’ve schooled the fucking lot of ‘em.

The more you push them they eventually admit that they know it’s bent but they don’t care as long as it stops us.

Let’s remember a lot of our players are playing with injuries, performances will suffer but they guys are rolling up their sleeves.

The players playing with injuries seems to have been conveniently forgotten by a lot pundits and fans. It's one of the main reasons for the drop off this season.
