Because I don't want to marry a cunt, but I don't mind having a pint with one.

i reckon eddie would be good value over a beer. he's a self-confessed introvert who probably warms up and after a couple of pints, revealing an impish and dry sense of humour. 

 

klopp on the other hand loves the smell of his own farts, and after a couple of attitude adjusters would even more crushingly boring than he is in his post-match interviews

England squad seems to be half decent and picked on form. Mental that he's waited until now to do it though, and not during the last year of friendlies

[wykikitoon 17360]

Aye but he still has two friendlies to weed some out.

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

Toni Kroos retiring after the Euros. Wtf

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

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.

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you have the time then this thread is a pretty good explanation on how Man City cheated FFP. Basically disguising owner payments via sponsors. It seems that CAS let them off the hook due to the fact that many charges were time barred and they weren't presented with actual bank statements to prove that Man City were actually doing what the emails clearly show they were doing.

 

 

 

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

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.
