Re: City Vs Bayern Munich Pre Match Thread I don't support a "Super Club". As far as I'm concerned there are only 3 1/2 of those. Real, Barca and Bayern. A club based near you fulfills some of the criteria. I only commented, because I think they are a magnificent club. The local core of...

Re: City Vs Bayern Munich Pre Match Thread Some very bizarre comments about Bayern in this thread. 1) Uli Hoeness was not the owner. They don't have an owner. It's a football club controlled by its members. Hoeness was their elected (by the fans/members) chairman after serving the club as...

No. 26,000 each. Arsenal protested. No extra tickets allocated. The tickets were sold in a ballot. This is getting tiresome now. Arsenal have 26,000 and no more. Obviously people will buy off touts and end up in neutral sections, but we did not get one single ticket more than you. It was the...

Farcical. A match whose objective is raising money for community projects should attempt to sell the maximum number of tickets. Arsenal, as a London club, could have sold out Wembley on their own. Alternatively they could have held it at Old Trafford which would have allowed City to sell out as...

Arsenal didn't get any extra tickets on top of the initial allocation. The club protested about the shit allocation, so anything sent back by City would have come to us. That's how it was with Wigan last season anyway, so you must have sold out.

Re: City & FFP (continued) I support FFP, but this is shambolic. 1) fine to be paid by the owner? Pointless and does nothing towards the implementation of FFP. A nice earner for UEFA and a message that says "we don't give a fuck as long as we get paid off". 2) limits on squad size - the CL...

Your calculation is probably broadly correct in terms of what it cost him to buy the shares. Also you are right to pull me up on "majority" shareholder when I should have said "largest". That's it though. There was no 50 million. Not a penny worth of direct investment anywhere on the books...

It's not the place of a football manager to make statements of that nature. It doesn't make him a hypocrite, as he genuinely believes in self-sustainability. His rejection of PSG's advances and his opposition to Usmanov joining the AFC board are evidence of that. I just want to clarify...

Re: Anti football vs Beautiful football.... Nonsense. Chelski were quality today. This wasn't them stifling Barca or Bayern. They won it fair and square, creating more clear cut chances and always looking to break.

Re: Pellikeegan Pellegrini is a top manager. For starters he plays good attacking football. Only Guardiola, Wenger, van Gaal and one or two others do the same. With Heynckes and Ferguson retired its a dying breed. He hasn't won much, but what can you win at a club with Malaga's resources. He...

I read that and visualised a 14 year old American kid writing it.

What odds on Mourinho parking the Airbus?

Re: Andre Marina That was a shocking decision. Worse than the penalty he gave Chelsea in injury time v WBA.
