May as well not bother turning up next season, lads.
According to the Reach Plc ‘supercomputer’ the cult are going to run away with the title next year.
That’s a surprise, ey?

David Dubas Fisher? WTF!

I’ve got to Google him.

Meanwhile the WhatsApp group are having a team jolly in Denmark. Probably spent half the conference pissing and moaning about City
Pity any daft **** who actually paid real money to listen to slugs like Harris, Panja and Corbett.
Delooney mustn’t have got the week off

What a truly appalling sight to behold.
Over there for a Tour de France jolly too no doubt.

There was a whole section slagging off City at about 18 minutes in on the video below called "Billionaires and Breakaways" Just the usual incoherent rant including the nonsense about Roberto Mancini's totally above board consultancy fee paid to him by Sheikh Mansour well before he even started working for City and before FFP was even operating!

Play the Game

Play the Game is an international conference and communication initiative aiming to strengthen the ethical foundation of sport and promote democracy, transparency…

I’m glad you listened to it pal, so I didn’t have to!

I only watched the bit about City. It seemed like a very turgid conference. What is interesting though is how many people there seemed to be from universities and publically-funded quangos. The conference seems to be part of a very lucrative gravy train. Slagging City and PSG off (and now Newcastle) is a nice meal ticket for some people.

The conference organiser (Play the Game) appears to be funded mostly by the Danish Government and the EU and mostly involved in highlighting things like sports betting and doping. There is a whole industry of these sort of quangos all over the world.

Yep, McGeehan has built an entire career on it

Just rewatched the Premier League Years 2013-14 on Sky Sports. I'm kind of scratching my head a bit. Did we lose the title to Liverpool that season?

We hardly even feature in the programme. It is quite ridiculous!
