This is a very interesting point. I can't remember the full assessment, but I recall the EU's opinion on FFP being a bit more nuanced than that. I heard some say the EU were in support of FFP, whilst others said they were supportive of mechanisms to protect the future of football that were...

Personally, I only heard from Burnham after Everton were docked points. For Burnham to show outrage about our breaches after seeing our evidence, when the whole process is supposed to be confidential, is about as presumptuous as those screaming we're guilty & who want us hung, drawn &...

Money is only a partial indicator of potential success. For every Philips, there's a Fernandinho. For every Mangala, there's an Akanji. I was excited about Philips, as were most of us in truth & upto last August, I was hoping he'd have a far better second season. However, all that changed with...

Much of the world are hung up on whatabout City, which is understandable. Most City fans don't understand the 115 alleged breaches, let alone opposition fans being fed a daily diet of bile induced bollocks from the likes of Delooney & Jordan. If City were in Everton's position of failing...

Dunno about favourite, but most important is Rodri. 8 years ago? The best player ever to wear our shirt imo, David Silva.

He can hardly preempt the IC findings & say City are innocent regardless. He said little information is in the public domain, but he'd support both Manchester clubs to the best of his ability & just wants City to be treated fairly. TBH, I don't see what else a politician can say without being...

The Greater Manchester Mayor has addressed the accusations hanging over the club after being a vocal critic of the Premier League's handling of cases against Everton. Andy Burnham has said he will support Manchester City in receiving 'fair and consistent treatment' amid the club's ongoing case...

Yes Gomez played left/right wing or as a No 10/8. It was Vinny who used him as a left back at Anderlecht.

We thought Gomez was the answer. If we had a proper flying, overlapping left back, it would release Grealish to come inside of his stronger foot. Neither Gvardiol or Aké are known for their crosses, & we have to find a solution to get the most out of Erling.

TBF, Neto is very different gravy to Nunes. Rayan is a player I looked at when we were linked & I wasn't that impressed. There again, I didn't realise he's only 22 now. If others feel he beginning to realise his potential, then why not if the price is right. It's obvious Pep doesn't trust...

The process goes ‘alleged breach’ to verdict after tribunal with nothing in between, to say they’re not charges is just window dressing which of course is your right if it makes you feel better. And as replied, the PL charge sheet overtly suggests a long term, established fraudulent conspiracy...

My mood hasn't changed much since the kickoff. I'm still shocked by the old man walking football we started with. I felt empty inside when I saw it, similar to seeing the team sheet when we played Chelsea in the CL final. I feel last night was a wasted opportunity & albeit most footy fans I've...

Firstly we've not been "charged", it's not a legal process. We've been accused of FFP/PSR rule breaches. The PL have apparently been investigating us since 2018, & I suspect they were hoping the accusations would just fizzle out & be forgotten. It's quite evident that the pressure to go after...

Erling's a unit & a half, but it's noticeable how he getting roughed up & denied space this season & doesn't have anything else in his locker to overcome the agricultural grappling he's having to deal with every game recently. Pep protects him when questioned, but Pep's also a winner & will...

The uncomfortable truth. If his name was Erling Ings, on his recent form he wouldn't have started. Real played a false 9 & we had the "World class" striker. On paper, form & home advantage, we should've dealt with an ultra defensive Real tonight

After last season, teams aren't giving Haaland any space whatsoever. They have at least two CB's all over him & he's struggled with the better quality defenders in the PL who're wise to the danger he presents. It's a conundrum for Pep to resolve, & I'm sure he'll find a way. The question is, if...

I'm away on business & I went outside the hotel for a break & just my luck I ran into a fuckin Rag! He wanted us to lose, but expected us to win & even he said from the start, it didn't seem like the normal City. He expected us to go for Real's throat, but we stood off & allowed them to get...

Sorry I disagree. Compare the hellscape we created last season to tonight. We were loud in parts, but very muted for periods. I suppose the four goals helped us on the yelling & cheering stakes last year, but those first ten minutes were strange. The team slowed the game to a standstill, & it...

That will be the biggest question in the post mortem. Why the fuck did we dampen down the mood with the old man walking football from the outset? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠⊙⁠_⁠ʖ⁠⊙⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Last season Real faced a white hot Etihad which intimidated the fuck out of them. They've been mentioning our fierce, scary...

Fuckin Gutted! I had a feeling of foreboding because of the way we started with an uncharateristic brand of old man walking football. I thought we'd go at em from the opening whistle, & that allowed Real to score early & put us under pressure to respond. It must have been an instruction to...
