We've offered no defence for a few weeks, clean sheet tonight tho :-)Or a bit thick, given we offered no defence ;-)

Surprised the media haven't run with "whilst the prem league lawyers use stock bought folders from staples, city have used custom made folders decked in city blue at 5 times the price of staples folders, this is what the prem league are up against, no one can compete with that sort of wealth"City Lawyers rocked up to the closing argument with a blue binder, proper happy clappers
City enter closing statements in Premier League 'trial of the century'
City face potential relegation from the Premier League over the 115 charges leveled at them for allegedly breaching the English football body's financial rules.www.dailymail.co.uk
The depressing part of all this is that Pinto is just a chancer who really didn't need to do much. He sent a phishing email to lots of club accounts, a thick **** clicked on a link and that was all that was required. He got access to the club's entire mail database which was completely unencrypted. I could have done it on my tablet with specialist software installed.Loved the bit where they described convicted hacker and extortionist Rui Pinto as "Portuguese computer whiz Rui Pinto".
Closing argument from City.Don't like em, that's the PL legal team. The writing on the white folder looks like "Closing' ?. If only we could get our mitts on that.
Just a guess, but will it state something like....
And finally, in closing may I remind the panel the owners of MCFC are not Americans but Arabs, very very wealthy Arabs and these people just can not be trusted. It doesn't matter how much they deny the accusations or the volumes of exculpatory evidence they produce. All the sworn personal statements can be completely disregarded as they have a genetic predisposition that makes them and the truth strangers...
Sorry to put a dampener on things this morning after getting back to winning ways but just thought I’d share this. One of our lot was telling me last night that he heard on Sunday from someone at Anfield that 50-odd charges have fallen away but they’re going to find against us on some of the others, and we’re getting a 40 point deduction. Now if this “someone” was a random bloke, then obviously I wouldn’t even be giving it the time of day, let alone posting it on here. However, we all know or have at least heard of this “someone” - who I won’t name but I’m sure some will be able to work out who it is - and he told my mate that he’d heard this from a contact “high up at the club”.
Anyway, this mate who heard this said he naturally wasn’t in the best of moods as the second half kicked off! However, he has plenty of other contacts in the media and at the club. One of his media contacts is someone who’s been his mate for the past 30-odd years and again is someone we all know as he errr, cough cough, posts on here ;) So he asked him if he’d heard anything about this so-called 40 point deduction. The answer he got back was along the lines of “That’s bollocks as they’ve not even done the summing up yet!”. This is a fair point as while I think both sides might have an inkling of how things are going at this stage, if the summing up hasn’t even started (or is just starting going off the pics that have been posted on here), let alone the panel then sitting down and spending months deliberating, I can’t see how anyone would know at this point of time what our punishment - if there is to be any - would be.
John Aldridge, I reckon. Proper blabber mouth after a few pints.Sorry to put a dampener on things this morning after getting back to winning ways but just thought I’d share this.
