Explain how there is red in there when what we are talking about is a supposed agenda towards united? We could be talking about Chelsea, Arsenal or Norwich for all I care, but don't make the silly, idiotic mistake of thinking that just because I don't subscribe to the agenda like you and others, it makes me less of a City fan, because that would be really stupid of you and somewhat immature.

Ok, so how did they ensure we won it that year then? When Fergie and his troops were 12 points ahead, were they given the message to 'let City win'? Was that why Everton drew 4-4 there? Were we told the opposite, to ensure we win every game to catch them up? Were Newcastle told to make sure under no circumstances that they were to score, and that we were to win? Was Balotelli told to miss his chance in the QPR game, to allow Aguero the moment the entire world, it seemed, watched?

did you not think that 4-4 was odd at the time?

Newcastle could have scored and still lost.

At the start of the match the title was in the balance, that was important. Then as long as we won it wouldn't really matter who got the winner. Panned out very nicely though, dont you think?
I can't believe you are being serious, but i'll reply all the same.

4-4 will always be an odd result, I remember Port Vale coming down from 4 nil at Loftus Road about 10 years ago and drawing 4-4, that was odd, but i'm sure there was no pro-Vale conspiracy going on, it was just one of those games. I am sure you will have noticed that every now and then, the PL fixtures throw up weekends of really high scoring games, and others not at all. That too is no conspiracy, it is just one of those strange sets of results that occur, and they are noticeable when they do. One happened the other week. Back to the 4-4 though at OT against Everton, Fellaini was outstanding that day and fucked United up, Everton in that second half were the better team, and they got their result. The funny thing about that result is that many on here said that Moyes, at the time, hated us that much there was no way he would get a result there and that he would 'roll over' for them. They didn't though, they fought for what was a remarkable draw. If you seriously think that is pre-planned, then the players would have to be in on it each and every one. You are also, whilst suggesting that, down playing our own title win as nothing more than a fix, whereas I and many other simply put it down to fighting right until the last second of the season, literally.

It is impossible to rig that.

that didnt need to be the scenario, as i said as long as the title was in the balance on the last day and we won it, the PL had won. He probably couldn't believe his luck.
As for City, why would we be immune?

You haven't replied with anything.

I can't beleive what I'm reading from some posters here. If you think the Prem League is rigged like WWE then you might as well start wearing a tin foil hat so the government can't read your thoughts. It's just laughable. I think Scudamoes commnets are out of order and he needs to be held accountable for saying stuff like that but maybe some of you need to realise that maybe just maybe the reason the rags won so often is they had a good team and a good manager and not some secret agenda to keep the money rolling in.

as funny as reading your emails, posts and every other electronic signature you make?
 
People are missing the most fundamentally obvious argument here : if you have something to hide, why would you then say something which makes you look like you have something to hide?

Let's be honest here - he didn't just come out and say this. He answered a journo's question. How many times have you seen the press ask City people questions and then rehash their answers? You should all know better by now.

In all probability, what happened here is that he was asked whether he thought the scum's poor form might affect TV broadcast sales when they renegotiate them this/next year. Yes, he should be less interested in the scum's success, but he clearly has his own opinions, and it may well be true that Asians are switching off matches because the New Bitters are so hilariously awful. It could well be that TV rights will sell for a lower figure next time for just this reason. I don't think he has any intention of fixing the results of the league, he just answered a bit too honestly for his own good and didn't think about the implications of his choice of words.
 
I'd you're a food manufacturer and you supply the likes of Tesco or Sainsbury, you need to make sure your best selling, flagship products are not just on the shelves but in the right shelves. You want them prominently displayed at arm/eye level not tucked away somewhere on the top or bottom shelf. And you will do all sorts of deals to ensure they are, including paying for that placement.

In the PL, the top four and subsequent entry into the CL are that eye level shelf and the rags are the Coca Cola, Kelloggs Cornflakes or Cadburys Dairy Milk of the PL.

Are you going to adjust your post at the top to include something? The post where you think United 4 4 Everton and Newcastle 0 2 City were rigged?
Edit: Scratch that, i've just noticed you have. :-)<br /><br />-- Fri Mar 28, 2014 3:03 pm --<br /><br />

Ok, so how is this rigging being arranged? Who at club level is in on it?

You have brought those 2 particular matches up, not me.

"inconsistent" ref decisions, promotion and relegation of those refs.
"inconsistent" decisions at tribunals why some fouls retrospectively punished others not? why some fouls, misdemeanours punished or not and some more severely than others.

You seems to think, i think it is anti City or anti whatever rant. They all know the game. It was said even on here, give it a few years and the City become part of the top table. The PL know the money talks.

Because they were the 2 defining matches of the season that ensured we were in with a chance of winning the league. You have suggested it was scripted that way. What I want to know is who at club level is in on it all, how are the instructions relayed?

Some of the shit thats been typed on here over the last few years is beyond ridiculous
Theres folk who still think Sky,prem,f a & the refs get together and decide who wins the title before the season starts.......
