Football is Fixed-City

[SWP's back]

Just seen they've claimed City vs Bayern in 2013(the 3-2) was fixed.

Nothing to back it up on their feed, but have it at 98 out of 100 fixed games.

Any thoughts on it?

Well given the way the game went it would have been Munich and not City "fixing" anything.

Indeed. Spot on PB.


Now, I'm not casting doubt about the character of the guys who played that game, but lets look at some cold facts:

The manager of the team who went on to lose is now the manager of the winning team.
The centre half of the losing team had a 10 minute stinker, and was purchased from the winning team.
Once the result swung to 3-2, the winning manager promptly took an attacking option off the field in favour of a defensive midfielder, stopping City from topping the group and leaving the losing team top. Both teams progress to knockout stages. The revenue from the knockout stages then play a huge part in City climbing over the FFP hurdle.
One of the centre halves playing that day was investigated for gambling breaches last year and had a very close relationship with the manager.This player also gave away a ridiculous amount of penalties, free kicks and red cards in key games despite being a seasoned veteran.

I'm not saying football is fixed is right, but they don't just blindly say stuff without having some sort of theory. if you were to look at all the above points and then watch the game, would you think it looked suspect?

Why the fuck should Bayern help City to climb over the FFP hurdle? They hate that fact that we have popped up to compete with them.

Maybe it's my iPad but I don't see any link, who are they?

I wish I had some of the closed minded thinking on this thread.

Corruption in football is endemic yet people are blind to think high profile games couldn't be fixed. Look at the last World cup.

Football is fixed is a blog that exposes corruption. Their latest really good thing was their linking of Bradley Wiggins doctors to Leicester. Google them.

perhaps, but then there's the substitution at 3-2 where our manager claimed he didnt think we needed a 4th goal.

We had already qualified.

Ok thanks

So both managers AND players in both teams would have to be complicit.

And Pellers apologised for forgetting we needed a forth to top the group.
