They (Catalans and Basques) aren't exactly the same people.

Ffs...you’re absolutely correct
He’s Catalan
They still like a fight though!

More minutes for Foden.

Less games in the year = more minutes for gundo in the leauge...

I think she’s far more pro-active than many people give her credit for. The problem is we’re not holding that many cards. If you think we get a bad press now, it would be a million times worse if we started banning journalists.

I agree but I’d ban the toe rag who called us a grubby club, that’s uncalled for.

They were banned from a competition they didn't even qualify for...

And they requested the ban

I'm not as clued up on this case as you guys are. But I keep seeing references to 'irrefutable evidence' that you aren't guilty. Is this just something the owners have come out with? Or is there more to it?

It’s a 200 page document that was submitted to the trumped up charge that the investigative panel never looked at, as they were too busy briefing their masters in the cartel and the media .

So when do we start proceedings against this?

If it's in court then until the CAS has made a decision then no-one can uphold a ban. We also need to go beyond sports courts and take it to the European high court if need be. Slander, illegal evidence, unfair trial, restriction of trade, there must be a few charges we can fight uefa with on this.

“Arab owners seek to curtail freedom of speech in Western democracy” etc and so on. The rabid Daily Mail writers like Harris, Herbert and Ladyman would have a field day.

that isn’t 10 times worse than what I read.

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

No they haven't, we're not quite the professionally run club we thought we were

who like?

 

[Gordyola]

Cheers. That is more re-assuring. The timing of everything is the worry. If the ban is upheld while the appeal takes place etc I can’t see Pep KDB Sane etc wanting to wait 2 years to play in the CL. The strategy is to fuck us up and banned or not this has even reputation wise. Whatever we do moving forward will never be accepted

The ban is suspended as soon as we go to CAS

The last few stragglers amongst the fans saying ‘UEFA would only punish us if we were really naughty’, now know what the rest of us have been saying since day one of FFP.
