I reckon that’s where I’m probably at. My daughter is at Uni and we’ve had a spell of watching plenty of old classic films from the 80’s and 90’s, I was loathe to mention Withnail as I felt it might be one of those that has lost it’s magic having not seen it for maybe 20 years or so.

I always thought Withnail And I was a romantic comedy, you can probably tell that I've never watched it.

Not even a music video, just a photo ffs.

According to that Arsenal fan we offered no defence and admitted everything! What’s taking so long? We need to plan for our National League campaign straight after winning the Club World Cup!

I've already moved to Lancashire just to cut down on travelling time on away days.

Guilty on most of the charges

- City board resignations.
- We don't find out the punishments for months so potentially - 6-12 months of speculation on what the punishment will be which will be hell - massive clamour for PL expulsion and trophy stripping.
- Although likely to be big points deduction and transfer bans and maybe Europe ban - which will hit next season.
- If the PL are smart they will only deduct enough points to put City into a relegation battle 40-50 point - so that it plays out over the course of the season.
- Pep to probably resign.
- Nearly all the big earners to go to balance the books - not necessarily a bad thing in some cases - KDB, Gundo, Greals, Stones, Ederson, Kova, - we end up with a very young and hopefully hungry squad. But how do you replace them if we also have transfer ban?
- Minimum 2-4 years out of European competition due to our league position.
- Some sponsors could walk away.
- Huge financial hit which will take years to recover from.
- Essentially we’re totally fucked.

This reads like Trump was directly involved "helping" us in this 115 matters. It should end with the club being sold to some local oligarch from Irkutsk and competing in the thirds Russian division (is there such a thing?).

Why can't you be enthusiastic about what City are trying to do? We don't need City fans having a go about everything we do because our enemies do that everyday without Blues pillig on as well. Get behind the club for once. It's as if we can't do anything right in the eyes of some people.

I've just rang the club and told them I'm right behind them, there was a long pause a hesitant err thanks then the line went dead.

 

[halfcenturyup]

This is where I'm at. I know 3 or 4 people well on the football side and they all basically say the same thing and that we will probably know before they will

That just means they don't trust you enough to tell you what is really happening .....

I’ve had a quick go -

Not guilty on most if not all of the charges.

- Richard Masters & Alison Britain (at the very least if not more senior figures) to resign - surely they can't keep their posts.
- City to annouce legal action against the Premier League for reputational damage and associated costs.
- Will the PL want to continue the legal fight and challenge the decision - dunno what grounds would be available and it would only really be the process rather than guilt?
- City to really open up the purse strings for summer rebuild.
- I don't think City will go after anyone in the media from a legal perspective, even if we'd like them to.
- The cartel clubs, Tebas etc to make up new charges and claims, via UEFA.
- A good excuse to relaunch the European Super League.
- The Football Regulator gets a huge boost and gets pushed through with much greater powers.

Sounds reasonable, but I'd add some charges of touching kids by masters to both outcomes

The Russian 3rd division is probably a tank regiment.

Wasn't wumming at all.
I had a text off someone connected with city simply saying get that champagne on ice. The lad in question knew it was my dad's funeral yesterday and maybe wanted to cheer me up with the text.
I've got giddy and posted khaldoon and soriano celebrating.

Asked my pal is it to do with the 115 and he just sent the wink emoji.

That is all.

Sorry to hear about your dad blue

bloody hell...fingers crossed

If this comes to fruition, and the way the media has baited the red cartel fanbase, there is going to uproar

here we go blues

we're so close to 9,000

But we know so much more than we did on the first page...

 

[johnevans]

we're so close to 9,000

I think you also mean 90000 contributions, dear Blue?! Then again, you might've actually meant 9000 just like City's accountants asking the eternal accountancy question.. 'What number did you want it to be Mr Mubarak*..?'

(* with apologies to Khaldoon and our excellent Blue chum accountants on here.. just a joke!)

 

[york away to this!]

we're so close to 9,000

Charges?...

Obviously, I am biast, but it's a classic film and I would thoroughly recommend you watch it again.
