It’s easier to fnck us up, over two legs.
And yes they, the combined officials, have looked even more biased in the knockout stages.
May I remind you that we got a pen at Spurs last season that I don't think was a pen.

I do agree that overall the reffing in all City games is poor, and we are usually the ones who suffer, but I think and hope that sooner or later we will win the CL. And this season I think we have a good chance.
 
Just for a moment imagine the scene in Anfield and Old Trafford HQ, sometime in December..

Uefa announce 'no case to answer' and fully clear the club's name. The next day City announce income of around 560-580m. The day after that, the FA announce Liverpool are found guilty of stealing the club's intellectual property with the hacking scandal..

Okay the last one might be far fetched but the first two would be delicious.
I`m getting quite moist think about that.At my age I could well have pissed myself though.
 
I follow Sam Lee on twitter, because he's good for City news. And he's very civil with City fans who ask him questions. You don't have to take all the opinion, but at least he's pretty reliable with the news.

He has to be. He's paid to be exactly that. It's literally his job.

As I said in an earlier post though, at the end of the day he is a rag and I see that in his posting. It's a facade.

A lot of blues who don't know the detail don't see it but personally, I think it's obvious.
 
I have always thought of him as pro City, at worst, well-balanced. Either way, not sure why others dislike him.
If it's about the Athletic article then there are two names on it. Forget who the other journo is but he's replying to loads of the usual scouse trolls who seem rather agitated about the affairs of a club they claim they have no interest in.

Well plenty of journalists do not reply. He does. Some can't hide their contempt for City. He's not in that category.

'Ckin hell Marv a rare moment of positivity from your good self.
It's true we have good chance in the CL and a lot may depend on our injured players returning.
But our chances are no better or worse than the last two years (when we failed) and if we don't sort out our defence we're fcuked.

Laporte could be back for the KO stages, and we'll have Angelino and Zin at LB, and Cancelo and Walker at RB. I actually think our squad is better than it has ever been. We just need to get through the injury situation.
 
Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm sure i have seen somewhere that if you are taking UEFA to court you are not allowed to play in the champs league whilst the case is on going. If this is the case, maybe the club will think twice about suing them. Of course it is entirely possible I am talking bollocks
 
If this UEFA news does turn out to be true, are the media critics who spent such an extraordinary amount of time going to cover it?

I think they will give just about as much coverage to it as they did to the FA enquiry into the Der Spiegel Jadon Sancho agent payment allegation.

Of course, the Liverpool crew will spin it that UEFA is corrupt and in City's pocket!

How I wish that the Premier League charge LFC over spygate and then the tables will have totally turned.

This has been a most unexpected turn of events. For me anyway. I thought we were doomed (although my hopes did rise a little when Der Spiegel's Sancho claims crashed).

Great news let’s do it

I wont believe it until it’s been confirmed by the New York Times, they know everything re City and have very good sources.
 
If we're banned, we need to fight it.
If we're fined, we need to fight it.
So unless UEFA give us a clean bill of health (accepting that their will be weasel words like the FA) we have to go to court. Quite simply, it is no longer a pinch so we can no longer tolerate this shite.
I am certain that both our Owner along with Khaldoon have gone down every possible avenue with our lawyers and have spelt it out very clear to UEFA ... be very careful !!
 
A fine is still too much because that is essentially an admission of defeat. I don't believe they have anything that will stick and actually we have the upper hand.

No need to take a pinch this time.

Any form of punishment is a punishment too much and we should be fighting back.
