Sooooo TalkSport just had a legal bod on talking about the punishments handed down to the football clubs ..

As regards ManCity he said that there’s an old saying in the legal world …

“Justice delayed , Justice denied “

Meaning they will probably get away Scott free as there are so many offences it’s easier to delay ..


He reckons that they should hand pick a handful of the more serious offences and fast track them !!

Whilst I’ll agree he’s arguably the best player ( on current form ) in the prem league ..

Is he WORLD class ??

Supposedly world class means you would walk into any team in the world which is up for debate… and should he start for England and in what position ?

I just presumed he’d go for Liverpool ( may still ) as they have potential to be great for the next 10 years whilst Bayern are struggling in comparison.. they only won the league last year on the last day as well .

Plus where’s the challenge for Xabi if we wins with a team of relative misfits to then try and win the league with the dominant German team / club

His family are used to Germany and he can only really improve Bayern. Liverpool could win the league this season, and thats a lot to live up to. I also think Bayern will offer him a lot more cash than liverpool ever would

We drew with 12 men Hull.

That's two games in a row now where the officiating in Blues games have been horrendous, and both major decisions against us too.

I mean how the Hand Of God 2.0 was allowed to stand for Hull last night was beyond me, those two points that we've lost thanks to that mistake could end up seeing us relegated at the end of the season, or Hull wrongly in the playoffs by a point or goal difference, and then possibly get promoted.

Plus we had a goal disallowed in the first half, and Ethan Laird in the second half gets dragged off the ball, nothing was given, but thankfully Hull completely missed the target.

Even Sky Sports were getting frustrated at the Referee, and they're practically an anti-Blues Channel normally.

the point is that they are not cheating the system, they are just using standard accounting techniques.

The problem is that if city are found guilty, then every other football team will be found guilty too. It is a financial crime if city were cooking the books. That is not even up for debate as everything is above board, otherwise the police would be involved and arrests made

People really need to put their jealousy and hate to one side and move on and i'm saying that as a united supporter

It's not hatred and jealousy, it's called 115 charges.

The probability of them being innocent on all 115 allegations is incredibly low, and I would say the exact same thing if it were any other club... Especially if it were Villa in this position.:laugh:

Look, I don't like seeing clubs getting punished, I would prefer it if somehow a different punishment could be implemented that doesn't hurt the fans, players, or the coaching staff, with all that these people achieve for the club throughout a season.

But I find it weird that there's enough evidence to investigate Man City over 115 different offences, yet teams like Everton get done on one offence, Man Utd faced a fine not too long ago for one offence, and in the lower leagues we have Reading being constantly deducted points, yet I'm meant to believe that Man City are innocent on all 115 charges? Like with any allegation, if more than two claims are being made against the individual/entity, I am going to start believing the allegations, unless we're dealing with a mass conspiracy that someone high up in the Football world wants to damage Man City's reputation.

Man city have just done some accountancy, teams like everton have broken clear thresholds that put the club in jeopardy. They have a good chance of going out of business. Man City are not in that category, they are not going out of business, that's the difference

No team in my life time (maybe Chelsea under Jose's first spell) has been so consistent. Zizu says they play sh!t (they don't really play sh!t) at times because of his jealously, but lets be honest, they get results 99% of the time, and that's what all time greats do. It's that simple. City are the absolute complete team. Even with their star players missing like KDB and Haaland, they keep up and grind out results.

Erling Haaland, Kevin de Bruyne, John Stones and Bernardo Silva were amongst those to receive awards after being selected in Fifa's 'Best Team of the Year'.

"Manchester City had an incredible season," said Wenger. "They were the dominant team domestically and in Europe.

Neil Warnock has stepped down as Aberdeen manager less than an hour after guiding the club to the Scottish Cup semi-finals.

Chairman Dave Cormack says the club are at "an advanced stage" in their search to replace him.

The 75-year-old was appointed just last month after the sacking of Barry Robson and has gone on to win two of his eight games - both of which came in the cup.

Warnock is the fifth boss to depart Pittodrie in the last three years.

The former Sheffield United manager, who exits with assistant Ronnie Jepson, failed to win any of his six league games, meaning he leaves Aberdeen 10th in the Scottish Premiership table.

Like I say, he takes some getting used to and Arteta uses him well IMO. He's not a midfielder, he's a forward of some type but not a number ten and definitely not a winger. Hence why people are so confused by him. He's surprising physical and wins more duels that he should considering how skinny he is.

The Ben White goal on Monday sums him up. He makes a striker type run, pulls the ball out of sky with great control and lays it off to Benny Blanco to apply the finish. Arteta uses him as a target and decoy and he doing well in the role

Well, he would hit decent form spells at Chelsea then drop off all of a sudden. He's having a good run atm, but for half the season he was a burden more than anything. Him staying in this current spell of form will be key for Arsenal's challenge.

At the start of the season we were not used to him but going back, he's been playing the role well for a while. Again, at the start of the season Arsenal were playing style of football that was more about control than blowing away the opponent. He , and Kiwior are vital for Arsenals control in a game.

Like I keep saying, he takes some getting used to, but now I completely see what he does on the ball and off it.

Viera, Keane, Keown, Terry, Gerrard. All winners. All tough, and smashed opponents around. Aggression in highly competitive sports is an advantage. It's a shame some people (one person) chose not to see that.

I know Girth probably thinks i hate on Arsenal every week, i don't, i know they're playing well this season, and i literally wouldn't care if they won the league. The only team i would genuinely dread winning the league is Spurs. And my hate for them comes because every time they play Chelsea they set out to injure every Chelsea player. Only person who doesn't see that is Zizu!

Im also sure Girth will agree that at Arsenal's most successful era in recent times (late 90's/early 00's) they had some real generals in their side who wouldn't mind letting the opponents know they're about. Zizu spams this thread every week talking about how every other team is dirty and all that rubbish, but what he doesn't see is a bit of grit and passion is absolutely fine, and works to good teams advantage. It did with Chelsea, Arsenal, Utd, Liverpool.

Sooo Spurs go up against hard hitting Villa in a few minutes …

I can envisage McGinn , Luiz and Cash plus a few defenders who will be smashing into Maddison, Son and Johnson on a fairly regular basis - unless we get a reasonable ref who protects the flair players ( unlikely) .

For the sake of balance ( and UglyDuckling) Spurs have their own hatchet man in Romero who can dish it out ( in his defence he’s calmed down immensely since he’s been given more responsibility of vice captain)

I can see Watkins and Romero having a few ‘moments’ given how much of a handful Watkins is on his day although I rate Bailey very highly as well

Spurs possibly at absolute full strength for the first time in ages !



Come on Spurs !!!

Not impressed with this ref at all ..

He’s giving fouls when they’re clearly not and letting definite fouls go unpunished .
He looks like the typical example of a ref who’s never played the game ( at any level)

Why book Sarr when it was obvious in real time ( and replays ) that he simply lost his footing … but ignored it when Watkins clattered into Romero late and when Cash upended Johnson ?

Did he miss the penalty claim from Villa ?
I didn’t see the replays if there were any

Stupid comment. Werner was on the pitch for 5 mins, and scored a goal against a team with 10 men when the game was well and truly over. Havertz was good at Chelsea at times, so i dunno where you're getting that from. He scored the only, winning goal in the CL final for Chelsea. Something i will bet you my house he wont get a chance to do for Arsenal. Your memory is always very selective.

Crazy how todays footballers cheat by default now

Isak just got his foot on that cross and missed the target by a long way but he was so convincing as he claimed that the Chelsea guy had the last touch !!

Some guy on TalkSport pointed out that Fernández plays well for Argentina and Caicedo PLAYED well for Brighton because they both need Mac Alister to get the best out of them ..

If Southgate doesn’t select Palmer then he’s even dafter than I imagined

Wasn’t there something about protecting flair players a few years ago ?

Pepe is a master of disguise

Tussling with Odegard in the box has his fingers and hand in Odegard’s face .. that would have hurt but went unnoticed by officials ( again)

It can stay at 1-0 until pens so i get a clean sheet in my fantasy team, then i don't care who wins.

We're getting relegated this season.

I know that's not revolutionary to hear, but we're not even looking like we're bothered, which concerns me more than the results tbh.

The attitude of these players are disgusting, it seems like only Ruddy and Jutkiewicz are the only ones that actually have any kind of respect for themselves and the club, to at least try.

I've always said if we try and lose, then I can still be proud of the team, but losing and not trying is something that should make any Blues fan livid at this season's performances post-Eustace.

They had that logic last season, and it didn't work for them.

They need to take silverware, any chance that they can get.

Fabulous decision to bring him in to replace Ramsdale !!!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProIts sad and I feel for the lad but Ramsdale has no future at Arsenal. Sad cuz he was a big part of last seasons success and made the PFA team of the year. Arteta is showing that he is ruthless and a bit of a football clever clogs

Raya is the man. Hes up there with craig Gordon.

Incidentally, for the first time ever a Scottish team will have 2 goalkeepers from the same club, obviously hearts.with graig Gordon and his prodigy who has deputies in goal for hearts for a season and a half since big craigy managed to complete the 4 limb break challenge.

An achievement better than gordon banks limp like save, or the goalie playing for man utd. Bruce grobbelar wobbly legs antics who?

GORDON FOR SCOTLAND.
