The Footie Thread

He does like to gloat they’ve sportswashed and got away with it at every available opportunity. Easiest to ignore…

As much as that’s a “ lazy general opinion” re we “got away with it”. And there is no ruling yet. Re are we innocent or guilty. It kinda contradicts the “ got away with it”. Especially when I have said on numerous occasions on this site “ I think we have broken the rules”. Which then I don’t understand where your “They’ve sportwashed and got away with it at every available opportunity” comment comes from.
The ironic thing about your comment is that it is once more liked by someone which helps to ignore the fact that half a billion pound has been wasted.

Not really.
However you dress it up. City have broken 115 rules buying trophies. Allegedly
Liverpool and Utd doing there best to prove money don’t buy success/ Trophies.

Coupled with the fact that when City allegedly broke the rules back in 2010,s them rules are now not fit for purpose.
Also coupled with the fact that now it is illegal to sell your assets to yourself, which City never did.

Also coupled with coupled with the fact that in the Prem league you can now spend 85% of your income, but if you qualify for Europe it’s only 70% ( ( UEFA ruling) which don’t help Crystal Palace. So how is that fair for palace.

Nope my comment still stands. City and not the Premier league or UEFA or FIFA are ruining football.

What are you going on about

Are you on about City who have spent £500mil in the last 18 months

Wonder why City's keeper was chasing the referee after Newcastle's goal?

Wonder how long it'll take VAR to check?

In the pub can’t hear commentary. Looked offside to me ? The penalty box line was a clear help .

Thought it was offside as well - not seen the lines etc

 

[Swango1980]

Might as well roll out the red carpet for Arsenal on their way to PL title

 

[Tashyboy]

A well won victory from the geordies.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

What happened at the end there ? What was the issue with Pep and Joelinton ?

You’ve just compound the nightmare your had with your previous comment. Liverpool spent money they had earned through sales and income and your trying to relate them losing today to be comparative to City charges. It’s totally irrelevant to the point and game at hand. The original response stands you’ve had a Mare and trying to justify it makes it worse and even more irrelevant to today’s game!

Just shown it and Barnes was behind the ball hence why it was ok

Interesting stats about how teams do after winning the title

Or you could also think that seeing as I have said countless times that I think City have broken the rules. It could be tongue in cheek

I’ve back home now and re watched it I’m not having that, .

if you need someone to steady the ship

 

[Skytot]

But it’s Var which I hate with a passion.One more nail in my interest in football coffin

 

[Skytot]

I thought City were poor 2nd half and got what they deserved. Thought it was a nailed on penalty on Foden . City aren’t good enough this season need teams like Utd , Chelsea, spurs ect to take points off Arsenal to make it interesting otherwise Arsenal will win the premier league at a canter

Watched MOTD and our defending is playground stuff.

The midfield just seem to drop so deep there not marking the men on the edge of the box.

Why Salah comes back for corners baffles me, he should stay on the halfway line and make them mark him.
He couldn’t tackle a wet paper bag.
Given what VVD said I think there’s big problems in the dressing room between the players.!


If Robbo was offside so is that ! He deffo moves his leg out of the way.

Well played Forest from what I saw they deserved it.
