Cobs

Yeah but they’ll take the money they bring one of the main sanctions i’d like to see brought against City is the enforcement of the sale of the club within the next 3 years - with a further League-wide rule brought in that countries and the sovereign wealth funds of countries cannot own ANY stake in PL football clubs I’ll not hold my breath on that one

Aye - Gerrard, Suarez, Sturridge etc all deserved that title too maybe not Mignolet In fact had we won it - maybe we don’t lose Suarez. Sterling deffo doesn’t go to City and Brendan stays, we never get Klopp, he goes to Man U…. hang on a minute

True - but they didn’t give a s*** when exploiting the capitalism machine that gave them a huge financial advantage against their peers which was the bedrock of all their success which, in turn drew in all the carpetbaggers that have so beautifully f***ed them now. And it should be remembered how working man, son of a Glaswegian docker, Ferguson waved them through at every step, building his success along the way and fueling his greed of some horse-spunk money that brought them to where they are now. so, you know, one of them really.

absolutely they can't just have the titles removed from the years they cheated. They wouldn't have the squads to win the later titles without having previously cheated.

eh?

i deffo reckon the 115 charges are not the full story. Just what could be pinned on them. I bet there's been loads of player payments off the books down the years. shouldn't matter

nah - just if this verdict came out a few weeks back they might still be in the PL

well, them leaking it to Ornstein is a pretty desperate throw of the dice to try and achieve that

well, it obviously extends beyond the seasons they actually cheated in City have known damn well they're bang to rights too - hence their £billion spend over the past few years ahead of any incoming transfer ban

totally 2018-19 - but for their cheating we have an Invicible Premier League title winning season to go with our Champions League title

West Ham fans must be fairly livid right now more than usual, i mean

WALLOP

there was loads of vitriol - daft to claim otherwise

Loser gets Eddie Howe

Well, yes but that’s all getting away from the point I was responding to originally about Silva controlling games - which he did from midfield in the latter part of his City career alongside De Bruyne and Fernandinho At this ‘Wirtz’ point of his career he was playing on the right of a front 3 with Milner/Barry/Toure as his midfield and wasn’t controlling matches at all.

i'd take any of them as our DM option right now

someone wanna tell Murph they already won the League - and are in fact the current Champions, whilst remaining pathetic t***s?

well, i said 'etc' for a reason - my working knowledge of City's midfield 15yrs ago isn't what it was. But having looked it up he had a platform behind him of Vieira (final year), Yaya Toure, Barry, Milner, De Jong, then Hargreaves, Garcia joined - seems a greater emphasis than we have of proper solidity in the mdifield to let him shine Incidentally - David Silva scored 4 goals in his first PL season, so perhaps only tore it up from season 2

The real quiz https://x.com/optajoe/status/2102421454457340325?s=46&t=S0LBdQiaWZdWT39o5mhR6Q he also ranked 4th in throwing a kettle over a pub

Firmino had a grand total of 2 goals v Leicester in the PL at this same stage of that season (+ 1 v Burton Albion in the Rumbelows) and he was playing for Klopp who'd been in the role for 11 months and the team running through walls, lead by the pressing King, Lallana. but this is all getting a bit meh - Wirtz needs to get better. could well do actually
