Hopefully in future we just stay quiet about financial fair play, being so public seems to have created open season on our squad in the media eyes. Just about everyone of our saleable players has been linked with someone. Hopefully this story turns out to be rubbish.

I fully expect tripper to remain involved with the club once he retires from playing in some sort of coaching capacity. He's already expressed a desire to go into coaching. I'd shocked if he was sold, he was the catalyst that started everything.

At this stage do any clubs think financial fair play is a good thing. So many teams can't spend due to FFP, in the end it may end up doing more damage than the free spending that came before it.

I thought it was just wages, oh well that's a bit shit.

If we do end up following the uefa financial fair play model going forward I take it this is better for us?

It would surely do us a favour if city get a massive penalty, at that point they would have to challenge the whole financial fair play situation in court for being anti competitive, which it is.

I know I amended it, it's still a shit amount.

£105 million over 3 years is a complete joke when you consider man city have wage bills alone of £423 million. How are you ever supposed to compete.

Women's game seems to have quite a high bar for a yellow card, some cynical and unnecessary fouls from man u going unpunished.

I wouldn't imagine she will be first choice next season. Far more positives from this game than negatives, we have a number of players who wouldn't look out of place in the man u team going of today's performance.

Man u's right wing is quality.

We have looked excellent in spells, tbh I wish theyd pass it about more, they look excellent when they do rather than punting it long. Our midfield breaks up play very well. They have a lot more pace and obvious world class players.

You'd imagine, seems to be a bit of a weak link and her kicking puts us under massive pressure as she can't hit the ball very far.

We've done well up to the goal. The manure team is literally packed full of international players.

This is my only real complaint about howe, I also think it's contributed to our going injury list. We always seem to lose control in the second half as we run out of steam.

City's bench won them the game and our lack of a bench lost it.

Completely forgot he was on the pitch, absolutely anonymous performance. Seems to have come back much worse since his injury.

Anyone who watched it on TV, was the ref as bad as he looked at the ground. Seemed to miss lots of very clear fouls, in particular the foul in the build up to their first goal?

Howe on talk sport now.

The main football forum part is batshit crazy. Not much moderating, and about 50 threads taking about the same thing.

Blot outdoors is a legend. Watch his 0 star takeaway review, its hilarious. https://youtu.be/x-EGC2JJoTI?si=e3vkG-aBPM5qPJ6J

Did have the misfortune to listen to talk sport today and Lucy wards awful commentary of the Newcastle Sunderland match. Suggesting our players shouldn't be celebrating tackles etc as we aren't doing well in the league and it's just a championship team. Mind you mccoist on ITV wasn't much better. I think the argument should more just because you have played the game doesn't mean you have any right to commentate on the game, regardless of your sex as there are some really bad male ex pros commentating on the game too. JB just wants attention, good or bad.

Boro have beaten villas high line so many times but created 0 goal threat.

Villa carry some bloody luck.

Villa players have a right attitude on them, 2 booked for dissent and should have been. A 3rd.
