Marcotti always sound like he's 3 pints past his limit when he speaks IMO.

I still remember him bigging up Onana before the CL final against Inter. Telling everyone what a great keeper he is. Comical. The guy is dreadful.

I truly want the fans of those shithouse clubs to think we're guilty, especially the scousers. To have all that bitterness constantly nagging away in your mind, all corrosive and toxic, eating away at your one real joy - supporting your team; to believe you're the real victim and that City have cheated you out of the history books, have drained and tainted the emotional energy you invested in believing you would eventually triumph, is utterly fucking wonderful. Really, really wholesome and nourishing for my blue heart .

Victims you say? I’m shocked

paragraphs help :)

Sorry fella, thought it was a bit of general blue moon chat not my MBA thesis submission :)

City have already run this case at CAS and won.

Masters is an idiot.

This isn’t a war. It’s pest control.

All this has to be taking a toll on some fans, stay strong Blues and fcuk em

I'll go a bit against the grain here. Whilst that clip from the Gab and Jules show demonstrates a bit of ignorance on their part, the two of them have been very balanced whenever I've heard them speak about us and our "115" case. They've also not brought it up at every opportunity which can't be said for some.

There aren't many journalists/pundits/podcasters or whatever out there who aren't repeatedly spouting nonsense about us but those two are ok, imo.

Its doin my fukin head in.
But in some perverse kind of way enjoying putting down the wankers who cry cheat by stating the fact
we will get done for fuck all and ask them what the charges are

 

[r.soleofsalford]

I'd rather it be put to rest through exoneration- our name being cleared then essentially a counter offensive vs. the ones responsible.

Exactly

Is this accurate? @slbsn

Ish. We can’t go to CAS with it. There are rules that would potentially be time barred though, they’d have to prove deliberate concealment for them not to be covered by it (as then the limitations goes from the point of discovery).

No. The time barred bit is his usual made up bollocks.

I’m well beyond bothered after all this time. It’s gone on so long I’m bored by it. I look forward to talking about football again.

Whatever the outcome I have never, nor will I ever, give two shits what opposition fans think. I will never seek their praise, validation, credit or respect. They can hate us, they can love us, it’s just noise and understandable jealousy.

They will all lose again this season.

Opposition fans only love other clubs that are plucky losers, no threat and to be honest a bit of a joke

I dread the day opposition fans think of us this way again

Exactly. In the eyes of so many twats out there, found guilty, told you so, found innocent, you've paid everyone off.

Fuck 'em

Reading Roans article made me feel quite down to be honest.

Why read it? You know what it will say.

Wait for the verdict. It’s when the adults arrive.

I honestly don't care about the charges - it seems to me that lots of other clubs have been fined and it's almost become the norm. Forest, Everton, Leicester have been fined recently. Us, United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs for trying to form a super league were fined. Chelsea have been fined and had transfer bans. United had a fine for fair play breaches. Liverpool fined for breaking into our IT systems and tapping players up. Newcastle are tied up in knots with a wealthy owner yet having to sell players.

Someone, somewhere thinks this is a really good idea. However, last season we saw random points deductions overturned a couple of weeks later and those could easily have decided who went down. Should Everton have a 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 point deduction? Who knows but if I was a ST there I would feel cheated that what I saw on the pitch wasn't reflected in the league table.

Football is magic. Take away the magic and it loses everything doesn't it. If we score 1 more goal than the opposition on the pitch I expect to see the league table reflect that. If it doesn't, I can't 'believe' in it anymore. If we are relegated or have titles took off us then it will kill football. I've not heard any United, or Liverpool fan say they want the PL titles that we won as, despite the banter, we all know the best team wins the league.

I suspect we've followed the letter of the law, not the spirit of the law. This doesn't make us guilty though, but it will be portrayed that way even if we are 110% exonerated. I cannot believe that our owners would be willing to break the law and find lots of other international companies and Directors who would be complicit in that. The PL have been happy to have clubs run as 'international companies' when it suits, but they don't seem happy to have international companies run football clubs as international companies. They caused this with the PL breakaway 30 years ago I'm afraid. Football clubs aren't businesses, they are cultural artifacts as important as any painting, cathedral or piece of music in this country.

Ultimately, the PL and FA may think they are being clever dishing out these fines but one day they will realise that the magic of the sport has gone.

 

[Champions again in 2012]

I don't think they will punish us until next season, they'll punish us if we are innocent or guilty because their gobby members demand it.

I have little to no faith in any process they have imagined up, St Paul could bomb down on a fiery chariot and the BBC and media chums would still call us cheats ,the damage is done to the minds of the gen pop.

Everton appealed and had their points deduction cut in half the first time.

If I remember correctly Everton appealed against the 2nd points deduction then withdrew their appeal once they had secured enough points to avoid relegation
