i disagree, i think the PL were foolish to launch a case that they can't win. it's taking them a very long time to gather their evidence and present their case. and thanks, i just want lots of food now, dieting does not suit me.

A fit and on form Luke Shaw starts for England but he hasn't kicked a ball since February.

Spoilt for choice, which makes a change. Maddison is a distant fourth in that quartet and probably should've been left out altogether for another defender. Whisper it quietly but Hall came into form at the right time. If Adam Wharton's in, I see no reason for Hall to miss out, especially considering LB is a blatant problem position for us. If he'd still been playing for Chelsea he probably would've been in. Note the obligatory Liverpool defender as well, can't leave the red shirt club out.

I'm sorry but i don't buy that those that have either audited or done due diligence on Manchester City including Etihad, Etisalat, Abu Dhabi Royalty, CFG, Roberto Mancini, Al Jazira Sports and Cultural Club and its former CEO, Phil Anderton, Deloitte, BDO, Ernst & Young, AlixPartners, Our Chinese private equity company who i can't remember, Silver Lake ( leading Silicon Valley private equity fund, that now owns approximately 20% of the CFG and its billionaire founder and co-CEO, Egon Durban, sits on CFG’s board) are all in cahoots. That none of them have found any wrong doing. Investors such as silver lake do due diligence before investing. Accounting firms are careful when they know theres an issue as their reputation is on the line Conspiracy Theories and Innuendo will not prove the alleged Manchester City Conspiracy (substack.com)

Palmer and Foden can both play wide of a three to be fair. Apparently James Trafford is more deserving of a callup than Nick Pope though.

Palmer Maddison Foden and Bellingham for one spot

On the face of it that’s ridiculous…. but as Gem said there’s only him and Tripps Chilwell has been fucked by injury as well

Midfielders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace). Forwards: Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), James Maddison (Tottenham), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Ivan Toney (Brentford), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa).

Apparently Luke Shaw is in

I'm not saying you were wrong to do what you did but it's obvious as fuck that you did it. Hope you're on the mend soon.

Barry Glendenning has Tonali as his "flop of the season" BTW, the mackem bell. Mind, so did Louise Taylor.

The very last para in the conclusion references the leaked emails and basically says there is no evidence that they went through with the plan that is outlined in the email. As the twitter thread states, the evidence that is lacking is the bank statements to evidence the movement of funds. The conclusion doesn't question that there was an intention and a request to funnel shareholder funds through sponsor payments. They just can't prove that the plan was put into action because presumably they can't demand the paper trail from companies that aren't under investigation (the sponsors). I know you dont believe there was wrongdoing but it looks pretty smelly to me.

Sounds like he's taking Shaw who can't stop breaking down with injury. Seems a canny risk. Suppose he can start Trippier on the left but take players who aren't a massive injury risk, Gareth.

obviously i have to defend that load of tripe. UEFA case the PL case appears to be based on those self same emails. those emails were stolen. they were also edited. and they were mis-interpreted. they were out of context and CAS saw the rest of the emails putting them in context many further points such as - It was demonstrated that the sheikh referenced by initials was not in fact sheikh mansour (thats why you need the whole picture) the emails were declared as admissible by CAS. the time barred charges were the same as charges that weren't time barred (just different years). no evidence was provided for any of the charges. even with the emails it was repeatedly ruled that there was no evidence of wrong doing (bar non co-operation) an excerpt from the CAS ruling littered with highlighted no evidence statements. The non cooperation fine was reduced from 30m to 10m for one simple reason. we co-operated fully up until UEFA leaked business sensitive information to the press. we then stopped cooperating and stated to CAS that we didn't feel we could trust UEFA anymore. CAS accepted that but the fact remained that we didn't cooperate so they reduced the fine from 30m to 10m Premier League Case stolen evidence is inadmissible under english law. The PL is a club following club rules but they still have a duty to follow English law and it states as such in their handbook. presumably the PL are looking for us to give them the evidence that shows we've done wrong. City are understandably saying - but we haven't done wrong so that evidence doesn't exist. so tell us what documents you want. PL say they want everything and City say you can't have everything as some is confidential so be more specific. PL want to see documents from Etihad but Etihad have no such obligation. However Etihad are being floated so all documents will be available then (if we're guilty that would seem a bad move on our behalf) PL haven't even spoken to Mancini Its widely reported that the PL is David and city are Goliath. But the PL are represented by the finest in the land so thats poppycock. Its widely reported that City tried to keep the case private because they've done wrong. But actually the City AND the PL wanted it kept private. can't be bothered with listing more. Man City's Crime ? At the end of the day, win or lose all city have actually done is put money into their business. I won't lose any sleep over that. They haven't committed murder. hello liverpool fans They aren't drugs cheats. hello liverpool squad and your asthma, hello man united, rio, etc They haven't passed PL rules to stop competition, hello cartel They haven't hacked rival club databases - hello liverpool They haven't committed fraud - hello man united and all. They haven't taken money out of football - hello man united i had minor surgery this morning and needed a mini rant, let's hope i never have major surgery mini rant over - sorry lads

Rashford not in the 26 apparently…. Anthony Gordon has fuckin BURIED him and Grealish since he signed for Newcastle United. If Gordon doesn’t start on the left v Serbia on the 16 June Southgate should be taken out with a tactical strike by the Gallowgate Special Ops section of the Northumberland Fusiliers Squad at 2pm. I predict the glaring and just fuckin ridiculous omission will be Tomori. Quansah apparently and also inexplicably in 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good point.

Obviously if I wanted to go uber-nerd into the minutiae of the job, the stats, the future plans, how he balances getting his ideas across without overwhelming the players with too much information, I'd stick with Eddie. To have a laugh over a pint with? Howe would be less interesting company, I think.

What's the story? Is this guy a big upgrade on Pope? It's a lot of money for a GK. You'd hope he's a big upgrade for that kind of coin.

A Braw Cunt

The goals and pace in the attacking options is terrifying for other teams. The defence is genuinely terrifying for us

What if it was Bruce?

Great thread this and now I fancy watching it again with the nostalgia hit of these tweets.

Toni Kroos retiring after the Euros. Wtf

You would rather have a pint with a cunt than the man WHO MANAGES THE TEAM YOU SUPPORT? Unreal mental acrobatics to justify a terrible take
