Creating the CL was the formation of the European (big club) cartel. FFP is merely the drawbridge they've created to protect themselves. City will take their rap on the knuckles and rejoin in a year or two. The money will continue to roll in, the biggest get bigger and if you're not in the club now you never fucking will be.

We already did a few years ago

All Rafa's fault iirc

Must admit I don’t see why it should stay locked, if people want to discuss it then they should be allowed imo, that’s the very nature of a forum. Personally I think it’s basically done now and the chances of it happening are negligible but you never know. Easy enough to ignore if anyone feels that strongly about it.

Wasn't an admin and I've got no idea why tbh. I'll unlock it, think it's been locked by accident.

Arsenal couldn’t have handpicked a nicer game to get them out of their little rut. Bet Arteta took one look at the fixture list, saw Newcastle (H) and rubbed his hands. Seldom do well down there, can’t see this bring any different. 3-0, maybe 3-1 if we fluke another one.

I want to rattle Liz Hurley and marry Liz Hurley. Read the rules.

I dunno -feels like if you join Barca at 24 then Dortmund at 27 then you’ve probably not had a great three years. What can I say? I peaked a little early

Surely Leeds aren’t going to fuck it up again?

Course it did. He spun around so quickly he nearly fucking keeled over. Desperate for some acknowledgement from his master. Like an excited 2 year old who just had a shit in the bog for the first time.

8 unbeaten The run continues. He’s doing a hell of a job

6 and a half hours to grind past Rochdale and Oxford to get into the 5th round for the first time in 14 years. Turgid doesn’t even come close, we’re fucking pathetic.

Credit to Bruce, we’ve managed to bring Oxford down to our level.

8 unbeaten, what’s the problem? Still in the hat, what more do you want?

Ahahahahahaha The useless cunts. Fuck me. :lol:

The helicopter from yesterday made a return journey to the UK and landed in Oxfordshire today.

That's exactly the type of quote that gets mangers sacked. Players will read that and think "fuck you". 100% throwing them under the bus. You expect good managers to back his players in public, Bruce has just done the exact thing good mangers never do.

So do I. But how do you define it? That’s the issue.

Still not out of the woods yet. We still need to play the majority of the teams below us in the next 8 weeks, if we go on a bad run then they’ll drag us into the bottom 3ish. 5 or 6 points is not enough given how poor we look. I’m still struggling to pick the 3 we’re definitely better than and will definitely finish above.

They had to give it. It would even have been given against Liverpool it was that clear. What happens if city scored?? What happens if there was a red card between the tackle and it being given ?? Also thought the ball had to go out... how was the pen just given in the middle of open play I assume the goal would have stood? No idea, good question. They decided it was a pen and went immediately to the pen. Not sure if it’s protocol but that’s what happened. Would they then have repercussions for the pen tackle even though there was another goal? Absolutely no idea. This is one of the issues they need to clarify for future reference imo.

Seems inevitable that City are going to get Newcastled here. 1-0

That walk with his yellow card out. Knew he was on every TV on Earth. With a slice of cheese in his hand. Could have jogged it? Nah, let’s milk it, casually books Alderwield on the way just for a giggle too, quick word in his shell like then asks him how to spell his surname. Epic Dean.
