Unbelievable

Speculative theory: Man City and the PL are in a deadlock, because Man City threaten to take the PL to court over FFP being anti-competitive if they are stripped of their titles and/or demoted a few divisions. Both parties know that Man City would have a very good chance of winning such a case, which would go against the interest of the PL and its big six cartel, and thus a compromise will be reached where parties will just kick the can down the road indefinitely as long as Man City play ball going forward.

The clue is in the bolded bit. We have a fairly new team of people trying to raise interest in associating with a brand that for the past decade and a half has been associated with toxic mediocrity. Like everything else the commercial side’s growth of the club will be gradual but certain under these owners.

Absolutely. We’re not going down and CL seems out of sight sadly, plus the schedule is easing and players should return, so this season is now about learning lessons (squad strength and managing fitness levels) and getting ready for another push next season.

We know how we roll though: we’ll try to secure long terms targets when they become available over short term needs, rightly or wrongly.

Dreading our next match

Yeah, that’s how I see it

Absolutely, but can see why VAR didn’t overrule the ref

Elbow does it

Doesn’t touch him does he?

Pathetic dive
