How the F***k can a game be allowed to be postponed by the Premier League??

As someone said earlier, the chance of losing to Liverpool and giving City the title at the same time seems to be as much their motivation as a protest against the Glazers.

A 3-0 automatic win to Liverpool, points deduction to Utd and fines should be what the Premier League should be doing to ensure that this doesn't happen again!
 
Roy Keane is practically making threats of violence. Says the fans were overturning cars outside the Lowry and there will be much more to come if the Glaziers refuse to sell. Just fuck off.

Yeah thought as much when things unfolded. City's owners had goodwill to burn, Arsenal, Liverpool, Utd, not so much.

Same with Barca, vs Real. Everyone knows Laporta inherited a shit show, whereas Perez has no excuses - their financial situation has unfolded during his watch. Laporta is at the start of his term, Perez facing an election. I thought it was hilarious that Laporta was also able to hedge his bets by saying the club members would ultimately decide.

Strategically, politically, it was clear some people where able to cover their bet and walk away almost untouched, whilst others would suffer.

Like a poker game. One small group realise their enemies are overconfident. They provoke them into making a bad bet. Then the 'little guys' throw away their cards, take small losses, and the big fish and his mates pay the rest of the table.

It is essential in Poker to get the opponent to act irrationally, misread the situation, miscalculate the odds. Otherwise, it's a game with a relatively low skill ceiling that relies on luck.

So, you've created unrest in their little group. They're now not sure they understand the game. They've been shown to have made a mistake in the eyes of others. All of a sudden, the mob don't rate you and are openly critical.

This has to be swallowed whilst processing and adjusting your new, weakened position. Who mislead who? You can't trust your 'leader'. He's left high and dry, spouting absolute shit. A broken record. Those smug grins when you bully the table are now nervous coughs whilst chasing value that should be sewn up.

On a human level, you might just want to get up and leave. It's not comfortable to be their, physically.

But ahh, Americans. All about the money. Won't be pushed into taking a loss. We'll see how well that goes down.

I mean, the guy who was crying? Poor fella. He's just survived Corona, FFS. He had something like a one in ten chance. All those restrictions, fear, deaths. That's why he's crying - that's the emotion that's built up in him. Not the football club. That's just an outlet. And that's what they did, they upset the fans - at a time when people have suffered for over a year. Scared, frustrated, angry, alone. The fucking lunatics. All they could see was the dollars. Protecting their investment. Not the people. People don't matter to them. Nothing is above money - their money. Every last dollar of it.

That is their culture, that is what is being exposed. That is why Wenger has turned on them, rather than us. He's a liberal European economist. He believes money and investment are very important - because thats the best way to deliver for the people. Jobs, something to be part of, to be proud of.

The hardcore American entrepreneurs fiercely believe it's the other way around. The numbers are the scoreboard, and your place on that is the only truth.
