The other issue was his goal celebration, where he ran the length of the pitch and taunted the Arsenal fans. He was rightly booked for that, and it was clear why he was booked. Mark Hughes was told by the fourth official that he'd been booked for the way he celebrated.

But that was a problem, as he couldn't then be subject to retrospective action for it. As you said, Ian Watmore was the FA Chief Exec and an Arsenal fan, and went on 5 Live on the Sunday morning saying Adebayor would face further punishment. I was at a meeting at City on the Monday night and they told us the story, which was that Clattenburg changed his report to say Adebayor was booked for time wasting, in complete contravention to what Hughes had been told by Clattenburg, via the fourth official.

I assume there was some back room deal done, whereby Adebayor got a suspended ban for that and we agreed not to push the duplicity.
Corruption, of course, evens out over the season!

Re Chohan: you would think that CAS had not gone out of their way to note that the time barred items would not have led to a finding there was a breach. On one they said that the alleged payments took place BEFORE ffp was in place and that THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THEY CONTINUED AFTER FFP WAS ACTIVATED.
The time barred lie is repeated ad nauseam by the press. I wrote to Winter when he repeated it; his answer was that he criticised UEFA and City equally so it was ok to get the facts wrong !
 
This might be a new low even for the BBC

Jesus wept - that’s embarrassing, even by the BBC’s standards!

I mean - I can’t stand the Rags, but credit where it’s due - they won three trophies including the League and the CL.

Liverpool won two, one of which was the fucking Carabao Cup, and managed to score a sum total of zero goals in either final.

It’s not even close - Liverpool last year chronically underachieved despite all the hype around the Quad, and have to be considered a pretty dismal failure given what they could have won.

United in ‘99 pushed their squad to the absolute limit and completely overachieved - winning the treble was an incredible achievement with that team.

Fucking Liverpool in 2022 - I’m surprised they could write that with a straight face!

For context, if we win the next 6 titles then we would have won the same number in the 20 years since the take over as united did in the 20 year period (1993 - 2012). We'd need to win the next one as well to match their 13 in 21.

To match Liverpools best 20 year per period (1971-1990) we'd only have to win 5 of the next 6
