    England v Greece | 10th Oct '24 | Nations League

    I understand the logical explanation, but the proliferation of games makes international football less special. Add in the strength of league football and it's dying on its arse.

    Hugo Viana to be new Director of Football (Official Announcement p17)

    Has he been asked to get involved and say what the punishment should be if we are guilty of the 115 charges though? That is the important thing.

    England v Greece | 10th Oct '24 | Nations League

    I would be very, very happy to consign our international football to the World Cup and the European Championship only. These games are, ultimately, meaningless.

    Media discussion - 2024/25

    IF Hugo Viana becomes City's DOF, he may sign Viktor Gyokeres as an 'ideal' Erling Haaland replacement. This is the state of our media. In another, unrelated piece, the Daily Mirror invite you to 'Get Involved - what should Manchester City's punishment be if the 115 charges are proven?' Good...

    The Boxing thread

    Jurgen Klopp to become Head of Soccer at Red Bull

    I'm very pleased to see that he is now in support of the multi-club model. I am sure that Liverpool fans will be fumin' .

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    There's always a point at which I back out of paying attention to the minutiae. I think I am right in saying that the PL rules were declared unlawful and procedurally unfair. Do I really need to know more than that? I don't think so. I debated this with Miguel Delaney, who, as is his want...

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    Speaking of lawyers, Anfield Watch accuses City of trying to run the league. I love an objective analysis, and I know that I can rely on Arsenal and Liverpool based sources to be impartial and reflective.

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    The spin is in and we need not fall for it. Pointing out individual elements of the APT rules that are fair is absolute folly. It is akin to a boxer pointing out all of the rounds he won when he lost by knockout. FACT: APT rules have been declared unlawful and procedurally flawed; do not get...

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    The APT rules ARE null and void. That doesn't mean to say that they cannot be amended and reproduced, but like any operating document, if the document and its rules are declared unlawful, continued use of those rules and procedures is null and void, and definitely would open up a process of...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    It is hard to envisage a scenario now where the PL is not on the back foot with regard to the 115. In an unrelated case, evidence shows that they have acted following pressure by City's rivals and implemented procedures that are both unlawful, AND unfairly applied. IMO, it looks much more...

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    Already, I have rival fans clinging onto announcements that City only won two of 27 parts of the case. The desperation and myopia is very real. Expect this to be the pattern that follows.

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    Despite the absolute clarity of the CAS media briefing, various, self-named-experts and client journalists have sought to continue to explain away the unequivocal declaration of Manchester City's innocence. This will now continue with the ATP case, and beyond, because clicks generate income...

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    https://www.mancity.com/news/club/club-statement-rule-x-arbitral-tribunal-award-63863904 The language in here is utterly robust and points to a damning verdict, absolutely critical of the actions of the Premier League.

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Onwards and upwards my fine blue friends.

    The none miserable bastards thread

    The constant whinging about players is the only thing I hate about being a City fan. It's always been the case, but does feel worse now because it is so difficult to understand where it comes from given the success. Support the players, celebrate the success and where we have come from.

    Keir Starmer

    Too complicated indeed. Exploited by those who then stand on platforms and inform the electorate that public services cannot be afforded. Support offered to political parties who support the status quo, by newspapers and TV channels based in tax havens. Billionaires announcing that they will...

    Boris Johnson

    He and Trump are box-office. So are natural disasters and war. Curious eyes will always watch cretins.

    Keir Starmer

    As long as someone pays their tax, I have no issue with their earnings. And when I say pay their tax, there is simply no way on earth that anyone can morally justify to me that Sunak's rate of tax should be lower than that of a nurse, nor Only Fans be paying more UK tax than Apple and Starbucks...

    Keir Starmer

    As an MP on 90k, I would always ask why that is not enough for you when you represent constituents whose average pay is significantly under half your salary.
