A few of them tried tricking him to spill the beans with clever (loaded) questions. Pep handled those questions well as English isn't his first language. However, i find Pep's accent hard to understand sometimes as he mumbles, maybe it's just me as I'm 25% deaf.

They also did the same with Mancini soon after he signed and they savaged him due to his lack of understanding English.

I've said it a few times, the media grossly underestimate Pep's intelligence and have done since the day he arrived (maybe it's because English isn't his first language). It's a sign of their own arrogance and ignorance that they still do!

I’ve just seen Arteta, Potter & Klopp & they look like they’ve been told to say fck all. Their clubs look like they know they have fucked themselves.

I’d love to know what was said at the Prem meeting the other night.

Does this clown not understand what Pep was saying. He was saying that everbody had already made up their minds that we were guilty without looking at the evidence.

Not the brightest clown in the circus:)

Who's this clown?

Hahaha .,... He seriously didn't understand that Guardiola was talking about him and his press buddies? Lost in translation maybe? French twat.

The question has to be asked. How do you know ?

Who's this clown?

a self-righteous prick. Terrible musician as well.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

25% deaf ? Have you got 4 ears?

That would mean he/she has 2 heads.

Obviously haven't read all 1000+ pages (!) but there seems to be a debate over whether an appeal to the High Court would be possible (if needed).

I'm no lawyer but I thought I'd research the options.

Under PL rule X.37 "Challenging the Award", it specifically forbids any legal appeal on a Point Of Law.

However, with reference to the Arbitration Act 1996, the PL rules allow legal appeals for other reasons, such as :

- Insubstantive Jurisdiction.
I don't think anyone can argue that the PL don't have jurisdication in this case.

- Procedural Errors during the hearing.
I doubt the PL's own expensive lawyers would be that stupid, although I'm sure our lawyers will be watching their every move.

It's under Section 68, "Serious Irregularity", that things could get interesting.

I'll replicate the wording of S68 so people can read for themselves. I'm sure we'll all have thoughts on how some of these clauses could apply themselves to the way our case has been handled, evidence obtained etc.

"Serious irregularity means an irregularity of one or more of the following kinds which the court considers has caused or will cause substantial injustice to the applicant -

(a) failure by the tribunal to comply with section 33 (general duty of tribunal);
(b) the tribunal exceeding its powers;
(c) failure by the tribunal to conduct the proceedings in accordance with the procedure agreed by the parties;
(d) failure by the tribunal to deal with all the issues that were put to it;
(e) any arbitral or other institution or person vested by the parties with powers in relation to the proceedings or the award exceeding its powers;
(f) uncertainty or ambiguity as to the effect of the award;
(g) the award being obtained by fraud or the award or the way in which it was procured being contrary to public policy;
(h) failure to comply with the requirements as to the form of the award; or
(i) any irregularity in the conduct of the proceedings or in the award which is admitted by the tribunal or by any arbitral or other institution or person vested by the parties with powers in relation to the proceedings or the award."

Ashley took them to the high court didnt he??
