    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Much like netspend spend comparisons ceased to be a talking point, as soon as it became clear it was making United look bad. I do feel it's worth pointing out, that the catchphrase 'whataboutery' seems to be a far less popular word recently. We should be reminding every journo and pundit, who...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    There was never really a big 5 in the 80s though IMO. From what I can deduce, that was a PR campaign bought and paid for by those very clubs. The original plan set in the late 80s, was obviously to create are legitimate big 5 in the PL era. Then it quickly became a big 3, when it eventually...

    Media Discussion - 2023/24

    ITV just had Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer on, in an interview about the independent regulator. They seemed to be trying to get her off the subject of protecting small clubs from the start, on to state ownership and super rich owners. Ed Balls, was trying to corner her and draw parallels...

    Liverpool (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    As for Anfield, I think it's less about the crowd for our players than it is about the record City have there, being a mental block. Even I was thinking, 'same old same old' as soon as Ake made that mistake at the back. We've managed to make Spurs away a big thing, probably the only big 6 club...

    Liverpool (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    That's kind of how I saw it too. Had he not got the ball first, then it would have been a stonewall pen but since he did, it's a 50/50 that could have gone either way. I'd rather he would have been braver and stuck his head on it, then we don't have to have the conversation though. I'm sure he...

    Liverpool (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Disappointed with that performance overall, we were our own worst enemies as a team in that game. Gifting possession needlessly all over the pitch, especially at the back, basically offering the opposition players and the crowd all the encouragement they needed in that second half to stay on...

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    Glad to hear about green spaces, I have watched a few youtube videos of foreigners thoughts on living in Manchester Central just out of curiosity since it's becoming more common. The lack of green spaces compared to other major cities always seems to be a major gripe for them. I suppose that...

    Simon Jordan laying into City fans again for defending their club against nonsense takes about Sportwashing and inaccurate comments about the ownership model(City private ownership vs state ownership). I was a bit disappointed that the recent caller he laid into directly made the mistake of...

    Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

    I'm glad I didn't put myself through watching that scrappy game and get my hopes up, only for it end that way. I think what saved Liverpool from the penalty was the Forest player wasn't going to get that ball. I'm not sure how that would have gone if a City defender took that risk, possibly the...

    If you were offered a job by another PL club...

    That question has me thinking about how fast things went downhill for the rags. As a business, if you limit your pool of talent in the hiring process, to fans of your club, or worse still, people with connections to the club. In any type of business, you'll probably be at a disadvantage...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Anyone wonder if David Conn is one of Nick's mysterious sources? Has he ever had any genuine City connections, other than once being a fan, before he decided he couldn't be anymore because City got bought by a UAE royal and "Arabs are bad"? I think it's fair to say Nick and those like him are...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Another point that I didn't include, in my already lengthy post(here's another), was his disingenuous argument against any notion that FFP had anything to do with cartel clubs like United, Liverpool and Arsenal. He started off by saying "well the original concept was proposed in 2007 and I know...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    As for the podcast itself. So he referenced Colin(prestwichblue) as a whistleblower and Delooney as some respected world expert on football finance?... If you didn't know any better, you might mistake him for someone who knows what he's talking about. Those that do, can see it's all smoke and...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    The podcast must have passed me by completely because I don't have an x account and the platform is now inaccessible to me(thanks Elon). I have just listened to it, but regarding Nick's tweets shared here first. It was surprising to me, how differently he behaves on twitter vs the podcast...

    What do you call the end slice of a loaf of bread?

    Only ever heard it called a crust, personally. I think it makes sense. IF the loaf is surrounded by A crust. Then it's logical that the end pieces, which are all crust on one side, become THE crust pieces. Never have I heard: "I could just go for a nice warm knobby, with butter on right now"...

    Stadium Developments thread

    I was looking for any recent updates on the NYCFC stadium and all I could find was this: https://skyscraperblues.com/posts/put-pizza-place-nycfc-future-stadium It's not a bad idea(if you don't ask you don't get) but it made me chuckle that this was the first thing that came up. Probably shows...

    Who'd have thought, that huge crane erection footage, has brought the most excitement for 100s of pages in this thread.

    North Stand Expansion

    Yeah that's all quite reasonable to be fair, I just don't think piling trams and buses up on the same routes will do anything to help the massive queues in the wind and rain that put people off going(just had a thought, how much would a shelter cost and where would it go?). As for walking, I've...

    North Stand Expansion

    It wouldn't be a new line since the Phillips Park line already exists, it would be a new service on an existing line for when the existing infrastructure of other methods of public transport exceeds capacity. It's already is doing that more frequently than it ought to. There's co-op live, hotels...

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    Isn't that pretty much part of the same excuse, things would need to be built, expanded and added to, to make this work but as much as they are trying to say it's impossible that's not the case. So it's no because it's too expensive, and our government can't justify spending that much anywhere...
