The Super League | FA + PL: New Charter & Fines | UEFA: Settlement

[Chris B]

Isn’t this a pay wall? and if so am I the only person on BM that hasn’t subscribed to the Telegraph- just when I’d stopped feeling ashamed as well

You’ll be telling us you’re not a member of the Tory party next!

Alright, no more nastiness please to derail the thread. Thanks.

A lot of pent up emotion and stress being released. That for me is one of the biggest crimes these clubs, including ours committed, in my humble opinion. People already low with over 12 months of restrictions, illness and in some cases deaths, woke up to have all this shit dumped on their heads. Nobody needed or wanted it. A total cunts trick.

I've been guilty of being very abusive quite a few times over the last couple of days and I've just been thinking along pretty much the same lines myself.

Fans are angry, very angry. Emotions are running high and people go OTT. The clubs in question do have a lot to answer for.

In the PL no team was safe from relegation

in ESL the founder members were always safe from relegation

Theoretically yes. But in reality, the disparity between the Rags & Brighton couldn't be more stark. In the early 2000s after Leeds went bust & Newcastle nearly did, the "Big 4" finishing in the top four spots was nearly as predictable as night following day.

This disparity is exactly what those four clubs wanted, & why they fought so fiercely to stop City breaking up that cosy cartel. Look how many years Liverpool, ManUre & Arsenal have spent outside the CL because of City & Spurs? Their solution? A Superleague, or revamped CL with historically successful teams added.

Football is bent. My point still stands though, I still don't get the big hoo haa over the ESL when everyone was so accepting of the PL.?

Is Bill giving out the diehard blue badges these days? He’s not given me one for years, fucker.

And it’s not a difference of opinion like Mancini or Hughes or Mahrez or Silva, he’s literally calling for the club to be disbanded and that the fan base (that don’t agree with that) are all arseholes. Of course some will call him names (I’ve only called him a “train” so I’ve been uber reserved by my standards). He may have been a diehard blue once, I loved my ex at one point, I couldn’t give a fuck about her now and I’m certainly not a fan of hers.

Bill put him up about 15 years ago when he travelled to Manchester for a game.
He arrived here knowing nobody, but came to the Waldorf for the pre match and we all welcomed him. Bill offered him a bed that night because he was a bit bladdered.
I don't want to fall.out with fellow Blues and I'm sure Esteban doesn't.
It's all just reactionary emotional crap now.

I said punished until the army piled on. Including you.

You've been shown for what you really are. A pathetic bully

You can have your echo chamber you sad little child

I did not pile on, I said “It does not matter what punishment you or I want, the truth is that there will be none as no rules have been broken”

So how is that a pile on? You next post after mine had a massive go at the fan base and finished with “Laters”

Grow up. You talk of bullying after several called you names in response to you saying they had no morals and are basically cunts. What sort of whiny little woman runs into a pub, shouts “You’re all cunts” then runs home to Mummy when someone calls you a cûnt back?

And I’m anything but sad, I’m excited for the game and my team kicking off in an hour and I’m drinking a large glass of very average red wine on my balcony and enjoying the evening warmth, mainly laughing at how hysterical you’ve been in the last half hour.

City having no love for UEFA is understandable, it was them they were directly betraying and UEFA have no room to grumble about that, they acted like snakes towards City in the recent past. They lost sight of the bigger picture though, assuming they did know it was essentially a closed shop. There were some reports suggesting City and Chelsea were kept in the dark about some stuff... Long shot that though in my opinion but I'd feel much better if that was the case(because fuck UEFA).

I think it's popped a cork mate. At least online we haven't punched anybody in the head lol.

Opinions mate

we all differ

I do agree football was, is and mostly always will be bent

I feel like we should lay off him a bit now though to be honest. Emotions are high for some, said a few things he will probably regret etc

But for me there was some hypocrisy in what he was saying, some of the most militant are those trying to stir up a lynch mob for the owner/board. Many of us are still pissed off and disappointed in the decisions made but just think that's far too over the to. For me, there certainly is a way back from this, there has to be for all the good they've done for this club and the different circumstances in which they became involved in this ARE relevant.

No proper blue is happy with the events of the past few days but a perspective is needed and to say the club should be disbanded is a fuckin joke,i’ve been going since 69 my family since the 1920’s, the club did make a big mistake but it’s been righted and hope us and football have learnt a lesson
