Glad it wasn't just me noticed that , beginning to think I was hallucinating , wishful thinking , had to rewatch the last bit just to verify he said what I thought he said...

I missed that so just rewatched it.
“Great, great news for us”.

In what context did he say that?

And when did this secret PL rule come into effect?

Day after tomorrow

The thread shows how unfair this has all been. We supporters don't deserve this rubbish. All we did was hook on to our local team. It means a lot to us but nothing to the accusers.

He isn’t. They’re the embargoed quotes from last night’s post-match interview.

Why were they embargoed? He doesn't disclose anything .

In what context did he say that?

I think he meant gaining enough points to qualify

Theres something odd in all this that I can’t quite put my finger on. Pep saying he will “give his statement” after Monday suggests he already knows what he wants to say.

Obviously In terms of basic outcomes there can only be a ban or no ban, but it’s nagging me that when this is announced there will be an element of the judgement from leftfield that no one has called - hence the almost inconceivable level of confidentiality around it.

I don't think so but agree something odd about it. Perhaps, as hard as it is for some of us to believe, they really haven't been told and won't be before 9 tomorrow.

 

[slbsn]

uh...

its a joke

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Pep's lines about it being a long time ago reads more like him being pissed off about the whole thing than anything about the outcome. If he knew we'd been banned why would he keep saying how confident he is?

Will be interesting to hear the details - more than possible it’s messy. Wouldn’t surprise me if City get scathed for being difficult in their communication with UEFA, the evidence of the accounts may be absolute (that it came from the Special Council) so we may be cleared but still come under fire. I think UEFA run the risk of getting an absolute bollocking for the tone of their communication with us and the leaks and the flimsy foundation for the charges.

My wet dream is exoneration followed immediately by statement issued stating legal proceedings against UEFA for damages for the leaks immediately after the treble.
