Think their attitude is if we create a new thread for every knobhead with something to say we'll flood the page. Best keeping it contained and if and when we get any real news Magic Twat will be long forgotten.

This guy has clearly spent time with the CAS report, and I don't understand why he can't see that City will obviously be providing a plausible explanation as they did for the Etihad deal. Or that those people don't turn up again, knowing that the whole email cache was in the dump, and make...

I guess my thinking is if you draw one team you've played a lot from pot 2, 3 or 4 then you've got two games of them. And we don't get a "blockbuster" game before the QFs these days. Just feels like we are guaranteed a couple of more interesting games or new opponents. Also feels like more teams...

From the pure perspective of being a punter on the cup scheme, I prefer it tbh. More interesting games, more interesting opponents, higher stakes.

No one has, as far as I'm aware, said he's American apart from Stefan taking a wild stab in the dark.

Yeah, it's silly. I don't think in 2024 you can argue it's not been anything but fair. Probably high the early years, mid-table. Honestly took me aback to hear anyone argue on that terrain these days.

Reading the tea leaves, the club are mostly resigned to him leaving and are planning accordingly (as they should), but if Pep wants another year or two it's on the table and Pep will probably tell everyone in November or December. I doubt Pep knows just yet. I feel exhausted by the last few...

So I suppose if you buy a cup of tea off your son on your deathbed for the house and your savings you'll have a tricky time convincing the tax man that it was fair value. So there are laws and regulations in place. But as far as I can tell City, Etihad, the PL, UEFA and everyone else in between...

Finally got round to listening to the Harris/Stefan podcast and I was quite shocked to hear how little Harris knew about the 115 charges. He really, really wanted to talk about fair value, wanted to imply they were back on the table now, and had very little sense of how the whole thing was going...

In the messages to the hat lad he claims he has been consulting with Bird & Bird.

Isn't banal what they do on PornHub? Never seen it on here.

Sort of actually. He thinks City are refusing to hand over evidence, and the PL are fucked without it. The counter is that City aren't refusing to hand it over, it simply doesn't exist. Either NH does have links to the PL lawyers, in which case this all very positive noises OR he's lying about...

NH (rightly imo) thinks he's rehashing old news as new evidence, and thinks his interpretation of the evidence is naive at best and ludicrous at worst. He wants to know what his experience is based on the fact that the hat fella thinks the emails will be enough to secure a guilty verdict when...

Slow mo and a pause button. I need to get a life.

Very possibly. But he also absolutely sees the hat fella as the chancer that he is without seeing some of the fundamental issues with his framing which many of us were saying. Still let the fuckers fight.

Oh I don't know if Harris is a bullshitter or not, I don't care really, but according to the chats he has relationships with the PL lawyers which seems more plausible than the mad hatter. But he's one of the more vocal critics of the club admitting that he's very worried about the outcome of...

And wasn't the whole thing at CAS that UEFA had sweet fuck all apart from the emails, so I suppose they want all the evidence that City shared so they could interrogate that in the hope of finding something, so the league is also going in with sweet fuck all apart from the emails and hoping for...

I wish I screencapped it all. Funniest thing I've read in ages.

For someone who sat and read every word of this exchange. According to Nick: 1) Nick doesn't think the emails will be enough because the PL lawyers know it won't be enough. 2) UEFA aren't giving evidence to the PL lawyers. 3) Nick knows what evidence the PL lawyers have and don't have, and is...

To be fair to Nick, he does sort of make this point himself.
