The Spiteful Nine

City were fined £9m for refusing to provide sensitive documents to a body that continually leaked to the press.

Not sure what the '£9 million based on technical deficiencies' he refers to are, the £9m was for what I just stated above. The ruling clearly states we did not disguise equity funding and that we couldn't be prosecuted based upon UEFA's own fucking rules, there are no technicalities involved.

As for tribalism, he has some nerve.

This actually surprised me far more than being exonerated, CAS themselves described the leaks etc as 'Worrisome", so I was expecting it to go along the lines of " yeah, ok, according to this bunch of bellends rules, you were uncooperative, but we can absolutely understand why, so the bent bastards can swivel", or words to that effect.

Agree why weren't UEFA fined for all the leaks ?
 
He obviously forgot on Saturday then

What better way to go under the radar, the long game my friend, the looooong game ;-)

I was convinced that whilst we probably did, CAS would consider the mitigating circumstances, be interesting to see what the full report actually says about it.
 
Wasn’t the letter on an Arsenal letterhead? Not sure we needed to engage the services of Sherlock Holmes to work this one out

I’m not sure. There was a letter on Arsenal headed paper sent to the Premier League about 7 or 8 years ago asking them to tighten up proposed FFP regs in the PL regarding allowable losses and asking for them to mirror those in UEFA’s FFP regs. That was signed by Arsenal, Spurs, United, and Liverpool. It could be that this time Sheffield United have tipped us off as to who the ringleader is.

Even worse (or better depending on viewpoint), CAS have said that the time-barred stuff shouldn't even have been considered and CAS themselves wouldn't have bothered looking. Of course the non time-barred stuff would have been looked at and dismissed as pure speculation from UEFA based on 2 or 3 single emails, so I think even the time-barred stuff would have passed muster.

Ah that might be where I’m getting confused. Hard to keep up with these reptiles. I think Martin Samuel made reference to a London law firm, Russell’s, being engaged by the eight so they probably sent it
 
They're a right bitter bunch those Arsenal fans, you only have to spend 5 minutes laughing at Arsenal Fan TV to see that. The only sensible and fair one is Robbie. I remember last season seeing a video where that fat arsewipe Claude said he wanted Liverpool to win the league over us. There was some shouty "OMG..I was like...." female Gooner on the 93.20 semi-final preview last week and she couldn't bring herself to say anything nice about us, even when teed up by the host. They dislike us intensely because basically, we have usurped them in the top 4 and taken their CL slot, which for many years they had contrived to carve up with the other 3/4 English clubs and UEFA. One of the worst clubs for thinking they have some god-given divine right to be at the top table every season.
I don't understand all this 'good luck in the final" crap. I'd like to see them getting horsed 6-0. I don't give two hoots that Arteta is there.
