As you say, different tracks quite likely. I almost added to my post that this says nothing about FFP about which I know little. So I should have held my peace. Some day I may learn which of the FFP rules the club is said to have broken, perhaps when the FA Reveals All. Still, would the gain...

Woops. Grovelling apologies, sir. The reference to Southampton threw me: "location" on one, associated incorrectly with "team supported" on the other. May I put it down to failing eyesight, the burden of years etc., and get the sympathy vote? Had I paid more attention to the tone of your many...

Whatever you may think of City's owners, Abu Dhabi or the club, the last thing you could reasonably accuse them of would be "a little creative accounting". To state the obvious, neither club nor owner is close to bankruptcy, and the people at the top are not short of a few bob, so why fiddle...

A lively exchange between Chelsea and Southampton fans. Further evidence of the universal appeal of this club.

... adding "don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall". To whom might that apply?

Your restrained but firm letter deserved better. Something along the lines of "We appreciate your comments. The fellow is, of course, a complete turnip but this time he has gone too far. We have given him his cards/a final warning/a jolly severe talking to. While there is room in journalism for...

My impression is that his measured, intelligent manner and sensible analysis is not quite what they want. Which is a great pity.

Unbelievable. "Sordid". "Worst league ...". It is very hard to think that this is a genuine opinion, and not some satirical comment on the wild accusations that have been made about City. Not for the first time I realise that I am completely out of touch with current, mainstream "thought" (I...

Of course I can't pretend to know the inner workings at Chelsea but it looks as if an American owner without much knowledge of the game has been signing players right and left, and going through managers at a worrying rate. (That said, the management structure wasn't too stable even before the...

" ...Boehly has had a word with himself and decided ...." Does that say it all?

I agree - despise is far too harsh a word to use about pretty well anybody, though I expect we could all think of some cases that would push us to the limit. And it is difficult to look at things objectively, particularly when it does appear that there is a bias in favour of certain clubs and...

So it would seem. Does this put United down as a "well run club"? Compared to Chelsea and Spurs I suppose they are - a new perspective on the Glazer era, one that United fans will be quick to appreciate, if it's pointed out.

Seemed a decent chap when he started. Same as Klopp, in my opinion. When he was at Dortmund, and before Pep came to City, I vaguely admired what he did with the team to challenge Bayern. Not wanting to sound over-critical but is there something about the setup at both clubs that affects managers...

A narrow victory at home against a team struggling at the bottom of the table, at a time when the league is the only competition you are in .... and this is deserving of "Liverpool plot late Champions League push"? Plot? As if the manager does more than put out the strongest team he can...

After the game he admitted that he'd had a "stinker", so maybe it was more at himself than anything else.

Dixie Dean's?

If that's anything to go by he's got pretty much the lot, not just quick feet and an eye for a pass but ability to handle the physicality - and there's a turn of speed on display. Seems that in the course of this year he's moved up a long way. People reckon that Ndiaye is better? I wonder what...

Assumed it was on here, but hoped (based on what you'd said) that it wasn't. Had a quick look and decided I'd stick to this forum for my information. Thanks.

Where did you make this discovery?

Thank you. As bad as that,eh? How do they go from the sublime (vs.Forest) to the ridiculous so quickly? A mystery.
