    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Semenyo has only signed for us because he knows he'll have a hell of a compensation claim once we're found guilty. Bournemouth only accepted our dirty oil money to take it out of the hands of suspected criminals for safekeeping.

    Time for a good ol' protest apparently. Dust off the zebra pants and make sure that sense of self awareness is firmly stuffed down the back of the sofa! BBC News - 'We're a laughing stock' - Man Utd fans to protest https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c99kn4nge5lo

    Referees' Performances | 2025/26

    Just seen that Van Hecke challenge on Haaland back, I mean one of several of his challenges, the one where he ends up swinging from Haaland neck , arms round his windpipe, and using gravity to pull his neck down to the grass. Honestly, am I alone in thinking that's really, really bad. As in...

    Referees' Performances | 2025/26

    It's becoming a tactic coached into players. If you suspect you're offside but there is no flag, don't try to score from that play. Force a corner, or initiate a new phase of play, then the offside is forgotten and you can profit from it indirectly.

    Brighton & Hove Albion (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Same problem as Chelsea. Can't kill off teams, can't sustain pressure, and we leave gaps in the midfield wide enough to comfortably fit Donald Trump's ego in To only score from the penalty spot again home to Brighton isn't the sign of a team going places. I thought a few weeks back both us...

    Referees' Performances | 2025/26

    If he didn't give that penalty we'd never have scored. But how he didn't see that without the need for var is perplexing. Stevie Wonder would have had the whistle out before this joker. A symptom of var, I would suggest. How many obvious offsides were left to run on because they've been told...

    Absolutely toothless.

    Should City pay that bit more to Exeter ?

    Exeter City's average home attendance this season: 6,739 Exeter's allocation at the Etihad: 7,500 They will receive 45% of the gate receipts as it is. Thems the rules, and its a significant pot of money for this tie. Why not ask the FA to forego their share, why just sponge off City? I'd love...

    He was charged with improper conduct, fined and given a suspended 2 match ban for the celebration. The Arsenal fans were applauded for their chirpy, witty banter and impeccable behaviour. Meanwhile, the FA asked the referee to really think very hard about the stamp incident and to reflect on...

    Joke thread

    Don't quite know with Shaun if he's just plain talking or poking at their lack of research and diligence. On the BBC that one though.

    Media discussion - 2025/26

    I thought yellow cards were not something that were reviewed? Certainly can't be appealed. In fact the only cases I can think of where a yellow card was ever actually retrospectively reviewed and upgraded to a red or ban, were against a city player - Ben Thatcher, where the FA seemed this an...

    Marc Guehi | City strong contenders for transfer this month (p60)

    I don't see a huge number of realistic options here, anyone we bring in has to be able to push for a starting position even next season when Josko is back. That said, we expect Ake and/or Stones to leave in summer so there will be space, eventually, but I think both are classed as home grown so...

    Injuries 2025/26 | Gvardiol tibia fracture (p59) Dias 4-6 weeks (p70)

    What exactly is up with Stones? We could really do with his abilities and personality right now, but only if it doesn't risk worsening anything. Could see one of Gonzales or Rodri at centre back at this rate.

    Injuries 2025/26 | Gvardiol tibia fracture (p59) Dias 4-6 weeks (p70)

    He'll be looking at the start of next season before he's even considering any time of impact session.

    Probably spent more on getting rid of staff than we have in paying them bonuses for winning stuff!
