PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Try Millwall in 1998 - locked in the ground until nearly midnight.

Napoli in 2017.
Locked in until midnight then stood on a bus for 2 hours before it set off and another hour for the 4 mile journey because it took the scenic route. Back to the port for about 2am then a taxi to the hotel near the station. Bed by 3am without having had a drink since before the match. Up at 5:30am to get a 6:00 train to Rome.
Knackered but well worth it to see Sergio score his record breaking goal as part of a 4-2 win.

So he’s banned from talking about “this” for 6 months, but he’s erm talking about it?

He’s also clearly missed out the word “alleged”, on purpose.

File under crank.

File under Bot even Twitter's Grok says so


No,
Luca Chianti (often referred to as Gianluca Chianti on X, with the handle @GianlucaChianti) is not a real journalist.His X account has over 12,000 followers and claims in its bio to be "Head Of European Sports @ The Eco" while serving as a consultant for Reuters, Associated Press, and others. He posts frequently about football (soccer), including alleged insider stories on clubs like Rangers and West Ham.Multiple sources raise serious doubts about his authenticity:
  • Football sites like Ibrox Noise (in articles from September 2025) describe him as a "supposed journalist" under suspicion of being a parody or fake account → citing unverifiable background, potential use of stock/AI imagery for his profile photo (also appearing in unrelated Amazon reviews), and stories that spread widely but lack independent confirmation.
  • His claims (e.g., executive threats at Rangers or incidents in dressing rooms) get picked up by some outlets or fans but are often questioned or debunked indirectly, with no evidence of bylines in major publications like Reuters or AP.
  • Searches for "Luca Chianti journalist" primarily return these skepticism pieces, wine-related results (due to "Chianti" being a famous Italian wine region), or unrelated people—no credible journalistic portfolio, Muck Rack profile, or verified affiliations.
The name itself sounds playfully fabricated (like an Italian wine pun), and the account's style mixes "reporting" with casual banter. While not definitively proven as a hoax, the lack of verifiable credentials and explicit warnings from media watchers point strongly to him being a parody or fabricated persona rather than a legitimate journalist.

It isnt going to be before Christmas, but only based on the fact it hasn't happened on ANY of the 5 previous occasions it has been predicted that it must drop. Whatever.

I asked Chatgpt a while ago, just as knowledgeable, it said Feb 19th next year. I'll stick with that.

This is still the most accurate prediction in here.
 
Last game of the season. City and Arsenal level on points at the top of the table. Just before the 4pm kick-offs it's announced City are found NOT GUILTY, except for a minor infringement for non-cooperation. Fined and deducted 4 points.
