UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

What are we guilty of?

And where's the evidence that we are guilty of it?

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

It applies more to them as all they know is what the sun, mirror and Simon Jordan has told them

And is why we end up with people like bozo and trump 'leading' us.

 

[Dirty Harry]

No, everyone I know who isn't a rag, dipper or wind up Leeds fan is either ambivalent or so sick to the back teeth of the status quo they want us to win.

Then again, I've read Twitter 3 times in 4 months and after tonight won't be for a long while, so that might be why.

Yep, seems it's just meat and drink to a lot of internet trolls (many posing as 'journalists') to me.

What are we guilty of?

It's like empty seats.....we just are because 'they' keep telling us.

It's amazing but, despite all the evidence, huge numbers of people in this country actually believe what is published in the media. Personally I blame the education system. A lot of people seem unwilling or incapable of challenging the status quo. It is as if they have been drilled like robots. Most people just believe what they are told without checking it.

 

[Centurions]

Time to close the thread and look forward to clocking up some new grounds in League 2 - Sam reckons the ban will be upheld:

At least he stated this time that it's purely his guess rather than 'inside knowledge'.

 

[Coatigan]

That was incredibly pointed from Pep. I don’t think he is stupid enough to be so brazen in public like that if there was any inclination we may fail.

My opinion based upon the last 2 interviews with him is that he knows, which obviously means the club know or feel ultra confident.

Based on other things aside from peps attitude, I am feeling very comfortable.

I think we are ok.

Na, he's just serting the club up for a fall so he can get his move to Juventus free of baggage.

I read it on Italian Twitter so it must be true.

Very true, frightening stuff.

I don’t believe you but I’m going to check ;-)

How many times when asked where you are from and you reply Manchester. I can guarantee that you get the stock reply that it always rains there.
Proof if needed that if something is repeated often enough it becomes truth.

Absolutely spot on, especially about the education system. Odd that you mostly get debating lessons at the top universities. You aren’t taught critical thinking and god forbid they teach you about money as you are supposed to stay poor. Beyond the elite, education is about how well you repeat back what you are told. That is all that is required of you. Just make sure you are outside your house clapping at 8 pm and bend a knee for BLM. Coming soon, walk down the street with one trouser leg rolled up for victims of domestic abuse. Failure to do so risks social media hounding to the point of suicide.

Whatever you do, pay no attention to what is happening to the economy and the distribution of wealth. If you could drop a truth bomb in the middle of the BLM and far right protestors (as they are both billed) they would realise that both “sides” are being played. The same “authorities” preaching Black Lives Matter, such as the BBC, pay their stars huge amounts in a disproportionate way for the genders and shield the likes of Jimmy Saville. Yet it’s us in the general public who need our morals looking at.

I have so much distrust of the official narrative on anything that I’m not even convinced that Burnley fans are behind that plane last night. As Micah pointed out, who would take that job on in their right mind, no matter how much you were paid. Keeps it all going for a bit though. Pin it on a few ne’er do well’s.

And all this, ladies and gentlemen, from someone who didn’t hold these opinions until Sheikh Mansour took over and I saw the vitriol from the press. Surely it doesn’t extend beyond sport, does it?

Sorry, rambling rant over.

It’s been proved that Burnley fans were behind the plane.

Obviously you would say that as a communist [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

 

[Bluebeemer]

Yep, no doubt "news" is media driven, a form of entertainment now. As we have seen in recent times, news reporting is made as factual but with a considerable slant and opinion, usually to intensify and dramatise. Public opinion is infuenced, whatever the source, by the press, BBC, etc.
Most of the news sources have an agenda and they also have viewing/readership figures/readership to build on - unfortunately bad news sells, the worse the better for the media. Disastrous events are inevitably followed by 'special' news programmes.

Thanks for making my point for me.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I think we are all drunk.

Edited for accuracy.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I’ve no idea if he does but he is certainly making more of a point of mentioning it then he would if we did not have the ban.

It could be his belief, it could just be to motivate the players.

I get the feeling the club is confident.

Pep made a particularly snide dig towards United over the weekend when he asked about Liverpool's lead.

He was clearly being pointed when saying something like if you had told me we would be 14 points ahead of United this season...

 

[M18CTID]

I’d like to think there’s a big clue in Pep’s comments about the need to qualify for the CL following the past 2 games, along with some of the breathtaking football we’ve played but I still can’t get ahead of myself. It could just be that it’s business as usual while the club waits on the verdict.

I think it is not like Pep to stress such an issue all the time. He has always stuck to the "focus on the next game" mantra. He is also much more upbeat than normal in his press conferences. I think his body language does say something positive. The whole club seems to have come out of lockdown firing on four cylinders. Mind you I would say that wouldn't I.
