    Football Leaks/Der Spiegel articles

    Yeah I read that and pretty much agreed with it. I just mean in terms of immediate UEFA punishment. As the week has gone on, the revelations have become much less revealing, but the language used to describe City has gotten steadily worse.

    Football Leaks/Der Spiegel articles

    Ultimately, I will be shocked if anything comes of this. Hacking is illegal so for these emails to be actually looked at by UEFA, the source of the leaks would have to be identified. I suspect that even Der Spiegel don't even know the identity of the leaker/hacker. Even the Football Leaks book...

    City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

    I live in Middlesbrough so don't get to the ground too often but did go to the Southampton game on Sunday. I left on the 90 min mark, purely because leaving 3 or so minutes early can be the difference between my drive home taking 2.5 hours and it taking almost 4. The travel infrastructure...

    I strongly disagree. It was around 6x his highest ever pay day. It was for a UK fight, which probably generated about $50m in the UK (based off a sell-out at Wembley and it breaking the UK PPV record of 1.6m). Once you factor in the undercard, site fees, running costs, promoter fees, sanctioning...

    Wilder is a bit of a joke tbh. After 18 fights, Joshua faced Klitschko. In Wilder's 18th fight, he faced a guy who lost to Mark De Mori. De Mori is the joke who David Haye beat inside a minute on his comeback fight on Dave. Wilder has no plans to fight Joshua yet. He and his promoter publicly...

    Find Mustard Entertainment on Twitter and follow them. Once they follow back, you will be able to send them a message. Basically, it's similar to Kodi, but more reliable and easy to navigate. I've had it nearly 2 months now and it's been pretty much faultless. If HD TV quality is a 10, this is...

    Vincent Kompany - 2018/19 Performances

    It's a risky ball to play, particularly with someone like Lennon closing you down. It's Laporte's error for me. As for Kompany, I feel a bit sorry for him. Everytime he plays a bad pass, it's "he's bad on the ball", yet Stones and Laporte still make the odd shocker. It's the same mentality as...

    Aymeric Laporte - 2018/19 performances

    He's becoming a very good player. However, he does ball watch quite a lot and is then having to react to being out of position. Also, he's a little bit sloppy with his passing at times. Almost cost us vs Hoffenheim with dodgy back passes and could have quite easily contributed to a Kompany red...

    It's a joke. I decided to take the plunge and get IPTV in September so i've been watching everything through there now. Paid £75 for the full year, but it includes all UK Sports, US Sports and PPV's, and it's amazing quality. Has all the Premier League/CL games on too. Best thing i've ever done.

    McCracken and Steven Bunce both said he had been ill all week. Don't know why it's so hard to believe. He looked good anyway. No need for excuses, he's just ko'd the third best fighter in the division.

    Agreed. Unfortunately Sky don't have the budget to pay the fighters so World Level fights have to be PPV. Unfortunately again, because Joshua is such a draw, his fights don't need to be stacked with a strong undercard. I've had enough to be honest and forked out for IPTV. Watched the fight on...

    Not quite. People have started blaming Joshua because Wilder made a very public offer of $50m to Hearn for the Joshua fight. Hearn responded saying he was interested and could he see a contract or arrange a meeting. This was flat out refused on the grounds that Hearn had to publicly accept the...

    He did but the WBC have put themselves in a strange situation where Breazeale is the mandatory, even though Whyte should be. The WBC are in Wilder's pocket anyway so Wilder will most likely beat Fury, rematch Ortiz (fuck knows why but he's already mentioned it), fight Breazeale and then fight...

    The problem is, getting the rounds in is all well and good, but there's a huge difference between fighting at your own pace and fighting at somebody else's. Against Pianeta, he could do as he pleased and pace himself however he likes. Against Wilder, he will be on the back foot and will come...

    Newcastle (H) Post Match Thread

    I don't think you can play 2 forwards with an over lapping Mendy. His runs pull everyone out of position ever so slightly as they try to cover the space. Laporte moves over, Fernandinho has to drop in so then the only link between defence and attack is Silva (if the Mendy run isn't used), or a...

    Not a chance. Not after a 3 year hiatus. If Ali or Tyson couldn't return to their peak after similar time out, Fury hasn't got a chance. Besides, Wilder and Joshua would be more aggressive and active against Fury than Wlad was. The problem is, we still don't really know what Fury's ceiling...

    I don't think Hearn is necessarily the evil here. It's sky's fault for having such a small budget for boxing. It means Hearn is responsible for paying the fighters, so 3 or 4 relatively high profile names on the card will unfortunately mean PPV, otherwise, the promoter is out of pocket

    I think Usyk destroys Ward. Too big throws too many punches for Ward to ever get comfortable.

    The Boxing thread

    To be honest, the over rating of him in the British boxing media and on social media is just so weird and can only be based off his win over Wlad. Wlad was the heavy favourite, but has always had a really tentative side to him (unless he is really forced to fight) so in any fight where he isn't...
