I doubt we would manage 115 pubs in our pubcrawl

we could do one pub each but i'm told City don't have that many supporters

 

[tregyblue61]

we been cleared yet?

Yes, we've been cleared to play in the National League North next season.

Five scoops in The Empty Seat followed by five in The Early Leaver.

Fuck em all, we just give the others a head start, tomorrow is the day we start scraping back the deficit :-)
We falsely made Anorim look good when we faced Sporting, tomorrow we kick his ass lol
I know we've dropped off but people forget the amount of games our players have faced over previous seasons, not forgetting the world cup in the middle of a season!
Once the injured players return, we kick on, Oscar Bobb could be a massive returner soon!
Keep the faith guys, One thing you never do us write us off, so FUCK THE HATERS!
FUCK OTHER FANS!
& FUCK THE CHARGES!!!

This bit isn't true. The High Court case wasn't about co-operation and nor did the judge draw any such conclusion largely because he wasn't asked to or shown any evidence of that case. "Abundantly clear" is simply not true.

There is a good bit of truth bending in that, to come up with his narrative.

Like being 'caught and punished' twice, the relevance of Etihad's accounts the poor PL can't access, or his previous pieces including any new detail as advertised. On top of twisting that case or its outcome.

You won’t get much love for this and I’ve probably posted long enough people know I’m a blue.

I have had that same thought and the distraction in itself is going to have an impact.

This theory only works if Khaldoon or someone senior spoke to the players before hearing to discuss possible outcomes, effect to them and somehow it has caused a loss in focus or motivation.

It would make sense for this to happen at the start or just before the hearing for me. However, it clearly would not be don’t bother trying as could be all in vain etc. which is what people are trying to point to.

The drop off in results has been huge, but the performances the gaps not as big. We where lucky to win some of the games we did and some games we’ve been a bit unlucky in this run.

So I think it could be right and something has happened, but what I am not quite sure.

That said you have a rival fan on the wind up vibe, so with that in mind I’m wrong a lot more then I’m right and the communication from people inside the club seems to be very positive at least before the hearing, not much noise either way since.

You also have to remember very few people or rival football fans understand these charges.

It does seem a high bar for PL to get over given it is so long after the event. I would prepare to be disappointed if I was you as bar none co-op it is unlikely much of note will stick.

Yes Rodri's mind was all on Lord Pannick's opening statement as his knee twisted, Haanand was wondering how the day in London went when he missed his penalty and Walker can't seem to stop thinking about the case when defending.

Agree the guy is on the wind up though.

 

[Coatigan]

I get it but why has the exhaustion kicked in now.

We can’t deny that it is coincidental timing.

Whatever point it kicked in, if you wanted to, you could relate it to the 115 case. If it was beginning to kick in now example, it would be because 'we must know how the hearing concluded' if it was the tail end of last year it would have been 'we know our case isn't strong ahead of the hearing' if it was in may/april this season, it would be anticipating the outcome. And the 'distraction' has been there nearly 2 years now, during which we won 7 trophies since the constant distraction started.

The exhaustion was going to kick in sooner or later. It was sped up by injuries to key players, not by ongoing speculation.

A little snippet if you're really, really desperate - Kieran Maguire on Price of Football said City's lawyers have been smiling a lot when leaving the hearing - but that might be due to their bank balances <:O)

Or wind.
