Not having a go at you (you're only saying what you saw, after all) but 30 pages later and as an Irishman I am still trying to get my head around how, out of all the people in history, the programme makers thought it appropriate to reach for a quote from Oliver fucking Cromwell, for a...

Couldn't agree more. Let the "banter" merchants dredge up the charges as much as they like because their answer is ready-made. The reality will inevitably be that soon City will have faced CAS, APT hearings plus the 115 case and we will still be standing. Three different cases, yet City are...

Guilt "in the eyes of many" whilst disheartening is ultimately irrelevant. When City emerge from this fiasco largely unscathed, "the many" will still retain their jaundiced eyes. Not to put too fine a point on it, fuck them. In my opinion, Zeigler stirred up this hornet's nest so that he could...

I know it's probably autocorrect's fault but, even so, I am sorely tempted to get that last line put on a tee-shirt.

Underrated post. Well played.

Was it not the same Michael Oliver who, just this week, overrode VAR to gift Arsenal a goal on the final day of the season..?

You make some very sound pints points but, equally, I would suggest that it's practically certain City's being charged by the Premier League has been mentioned at governmental levels. City believe the club is being mistreated. (Probably because they ARE being mistreated). They are a...

One of the oddities regarding City's so-called failure to co-operate, that never gets mentioned, is that much of it could be predicated on frustration due to a presumption of guilt. Just because someone from the PL demanded paperwork that they believed would blow the case wide open, it doesn't...

The last time Spurs won the league, I wasn't even a stirring in my dad's pants.... and I'm a grandfather now.

Didn't he call them out that day too? Tevez had played a blinder. He scored a hat-trick in his comeback game, following his fall-out with Mancini (did that famous golf swing celebration after one of the goals). He also got booked for diving when he should have been awarded a penalty. The first...

Thanks for that @Bluearmy

I'm looking for that "Ye Wrecked Our Coach, Si We Ruined Yours" meme, that was everywhere last week. Can't seem to find it anywhere now. Can anybody help please?

Genuinely, surprised by this assessment. I wouldn't even have him in the top three intellects at the Guardian sports desk. (Conn, Wilson and possibly, Ronay all being brighter than him). Nothing in Mr. Liew's output has ever struck me me as being of much more than average intelligence. Of...

If the Centurions had conceded a goal from every shot on target against them, that season... they would still have won the league.

Given that the club are members of the Premier League, I'm not sure City would be able to sue the Premier League. Can't be done in Irish Law as far as I know (eg you can't sue the golf club you are a member of because, as a member, you'd be suing yourself). Might be different in England and...

Roy Keane...? The cry baby who ran away from a World Cup because the training pitch was bumpy...? That Roy Keane is calling somebody a spoilt brat? Right. I have searched through my big bag of fucks and honestly, I cannot find a single one to give.

It would help if the club made more of those achievements. Why we don't have a Centurions Stand or even a Centurions Suite at the Etihad is beyond me.

You're not wrong about the split in Irish football. After that, I'm afraid, you're all over the place. There would have been some shameful anti-Protestant attacks (often - but certainly not always - the settling of personal scores) in the immediate aftermath of independence but it really didn't...

Apologies to the Mods for going off topic but just to reply in three quick paragraphs... The ban was imposed by the GAA. Effectively, you couldn't play or attend any foreign sports if you wanted to play Gaelic Games. For "foreign games" you can effectively read English sports. It was brought...

"hearts on their sleeves, calves in their socks..." is such a bonkers detail. :-D
