Like i said people saw thr TV persona. reality was different

Not going to speak ill of the dead but the members of a certain golf club on the wirral could tell you many tales about his arrogance and bad manners.

Always sorry when a footballer of my generation dies but take it from one who knows he was nothing like how he came across on TV in real life.

I think its clear now that Arteta was the Plan B man at City and we are currently seeing that in the way he's got Arsenal organised defensively. I agree that Pep needs a top notch defensive co-ordinator but unfortunately that doesn't come into his football philosophy

The success of a high line strategy is almost entirely dependant on it being allied to the high press. The high press is designed to cut out the oppositions chances of playing the OTT and diagonal balls that expose the weakness of the high line. City in the first 30 minutes or so of the game...

I'm not doubting at first he wanted out but the situation has changed, Barca are not going to give him his easy out and he's wavered and changed his mind.

Can you come up with a more realistic scenario... how many times has he used similar tactics to get more money out of Barca.

You've absolutely nailed it. The 8-2 defeat and not winning La Liga plus personal issues between himself and Bartomeu upset him and in a fit of pique he decides he wants out and there's his old boss at man City ( a club that's been courting him for years) ready and willing to take him. Then...

Glad I could bring it to you. I'm awaiting the next carrier pigeon with bated breath.

T'other half listening to Talkshite. Spanish reporter saying Messi has activated a clause that allows him to terminate contract and Barca are calling emergency meeting.

Report from t'other 'alf. Max Rushden on the Breakfast Show was trying to peddle the usual shite that Real Madrid were off form etc to Trevor Sinclair. Apparently Sinclair handed him his arse on a plate saying that it was the usual anti City agenda and if it was the rags who'd won 2-1 twice...

Very powerful message. Welldone City for participating.

My other half informs me that Mr Jordans piss is currently well and truly boiling on Talkshite after the transfer news about Ake broke.

Can I have 2 bites of the Cherry. Firstly back to 1885 to purchase the land that Anfield currently rests on and give it to Everton FC. Secondly to 1931 to persuade a certain J.Henry of Manchester that his money would be better spent than bailing out an ailing third rate football club.

WRONG The CAS Statement specifically clears City of any wrongdoing with regard to breach of FFP. WE've been found guilty of refusing to co-operate with a flawed and biased UEFA witch hunt.

Off to collect my winnings from all the rag and dipper gobshites

Their angle was more that CAS wouldn't have the power to make that decision and if they didn't rule for City then they would refer it back to the UEFA committees with recommendations.

Just listened to it. It was just a basic explanation of why City are going to CAS and what CAS was. Tried to say they thought it unlikely that CAS would rule FFP as unfair.

According to a very well respected poster and ITK on here Uefa are relying on the 4 Newspaper articles in Der Spiegl and not much else. i'd call that very thin ice.

I believe the main charge is where the sponsorship money came from as opposed to its amount.
