City informed CAS that they would go to the other independent arbitration panel if they upheld any charge without proof, thus ruining their status. City have said to this panel they have proof thus ruining the reputations should a later appeal find the proof enough.I`ve NO idea as to what you mean with that first comment ?? Explain please.
Absolutely this. I don’t ever want to talk about it, cos even those of my friends and work colleagues (never mind people I hardly know), who are pretty smart, have had no real immersion into the subject and are reduced to parroting the nonsenses and half truths they’ve picked up in the media……and by the way, I don’t doubt I would be the same were the roles reversed……and I haven’t got the fucking energy to ever trawl through it all with them, not least because beyond the headline they aren’t really interested anyway.Once or twice I agree, but fuck me, all I want is a quiet evening out and it's relentless. I don't want to talk about it with people who don't want to listen and I, seriously, don't give a fuck what fans of other clubs think so why they involve me in their conversations I don't know. Well, I do. It's not "banter" it's provocation.
Think we need a musical playlist.
The end of your first paragraph is spot on.Absolutely this. I don’t ever want to talk about it, cos even those of my friends and work colleagues (never mind people I hardly know), who are pretty smart, have had no real immersion into the subject and are reduced to parroting the nonsenses and half truths they’ve picked up in the media……and by the way, I don’t doubt I would be the same were the roles reversed……and I haven’t got the fucking energy to ever trawl through it all with them, not least because beyond the headline they aren’t really interested.
As for those who regard it all as ‘banter’ and want to rile me on that level, I could cheerfully take a coal shovel to them…….
Not worth a mention anywhere other than this thread - it's septics NOT Middle Eastern money.So Everton have become the tenth EPL club to become American owned. Half of the EPL clubs could now shelter their financial records legally in tax havens such as the Cayman Islands.
Just worth a mention.
When anyone calls us cheats firstly I reply how ? then follow it up with on the pitch ? bribed refs ? tell me how weve cheated our way to winning trophies ?
Your doing it all wrong, to the liverpool fan say at least we haven't murdered any other fans and belive me they go crazy and I just repeat it, arsenal fans is easy, just say to him that arsenal have been crashing, burning and bottling the title for years and ask him who paid the league with brown embolopes to stay in top tier ( 1st division) and say arsenal the original cheatsHere's an example of how this shit impinges on normal life. I'm in a walking football club in the Midlands. Supporters of West Ham, villa, Southampton, wolves, Coventry and, of course, united, liverpool, spurs and arse.
A few weeks ago a liverpool supporter posted some shit about us cheating. I ignored it until the pile-on started when I just said "please fuck off with this shit". Well, of course, the scouser was all offended and I got a load of shit for being over sensitive. Anyway, it blows over.
Last night was the Christmas curry. I'm minding my own business talking football, price of replica shirts, admission, the future of football all perfectly amicable. Then an Arsenal fan chimes in, "I'm really enjoying watching City crash and burn". Now what do you say to that ?
As it's the season of goodwill, I was very polite and pointed out that I'd seen us win four in a row, win a treble, score a record number of goals and win a record number of points, seen Aguero, Silva, De Bruyne and Rodri at their peak, I can die happy. He then came out with a comment about cheating at which point I told him to fuck right off and it very nearly came to blows. It cast a cloud over the whole evening.
I should point out that not once did that bloke ever engage me in conversation to say something about the quality of football we were playing in our pomp, nor any word of praise. They are emboldened to think their opinion matters by the relentless negative press coverage.
