The power and influence that the Pisscan, Gill and (to a lesser extent, perhaps) the Comb-Over king had over the sport should never be underestimated.
None of them would have been foolish enough to leave their fingerprints on the corruption that was going on, any incriminating evidence would have been destroyed long long ago. So all we have is unfounded statements from Halsey and Clattenbent - move along, nothing to see here.
But WE know it was -and still is- going on. WE remember how that one club had every single 50/50 decision go in their favour time and time again. The joking references to fergie time (I'm not even going to dignify the çunt's name with a capital letter), the sniggers from Tyler when ginger pig launched a two-footed tackle on anyone on the opposition's side. WE remember how shrek would run a 100 yards just to scream abuse in the referee's ear - and get away with it.
Being City fans we would only be too well aware it was going on, other clubs would focus on their own rivals and pay scant attention to what the vermin were doing, but the constant cheating was being rammed down our throats by the sycophantic media on an almost hourly basis. And now that Clattenbent has said what he has, other clubs will sit up and see what we have known all along. But as I said at the beginning, knowing is one thing, proving is another.
