They’ve looked good here mind

85 mins left man

Get it on target vs Dubravka and it’s in nine times out of time. Absolutely rooted to his line

Christ that was coming

Suicidal play at the back there

Good to see Hall and Livramento starting

I’ve literally zero time for moral relativism. Here’s a test for you; write something hyper critical about the govt on your Facebook feed right now and see what happens. Then go to Saudi Arabia and do the same about the govt there. I mean, you won’t be able to use messenger over there, because obviously that can be used as a means of undermining the govt. But stick something on Facebook calling for a change in govt. Then let me know what it’s like being publically lashed, and remind yourself that had you been a Saudi citizen, the likely punishment would be execution. Then come back and tell your half-baked shite about how everywhere is basically the same.

You’ve lost me on that one. Are you suggesting that I don’t want to see a free Palestine?

2018 is when the investigations started. Keep up.

It’s not ‘if I say so’. It’s a fact. Man City are state-owned and funded by oil wealth. NUFC are state-owned. Separation is a load of bollocks, particularly when you’re dealing with dictatorships. Tell yourself whatever fairy tales you need so that those nasty Man Utd fans having a pop don’t get you down. But Man City’s success is entirely down to the oil wealth of a tiny dictatorship, which has in all likelihood spent the last decade operating outside the rules that others have had to follow.

Yep, and NUFC are owner 80% by PIF, not the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Pull the other one man; if there’s any group of supporters who knows what a load of bollocks the ‘Abu Dhabi Group’ being separate from the city state of Abu Dhabi is, it is us. The govt manages Abu Dhabi group.

I thought the High Court had already rejected an appeal from the Commercial Court a couple of years ago?

I don’t think it is racist at all to question state ownership of football clubs - particularly when those states are dictatorships with appalling human rights records

Or a threat against journalists by a dictatorship’s collection of paid hands in an attempt to silence them. It’s a PL tribunal not a criminal trial.

Probably - but such a move would only anchor NUFC in the future.

If NUFC are at the head of that group, that’s not exactly suggestive of them being confident in increasing revenues in line with the clubs at the top …

20 points deduction for the crime of being Leeds seems reasonable to me

Which Liverpool offer? I haven’t seen owt about that

Yep, agreed - I’m definitely not an advocate for the current rules. But this wouldn’t be someone being forced out of the club - they knew what they were doing having that clause inserted. I also doubt that it was the club who made it public knowledge.

The club would need to sell if another club meets the asking price and Bruno agrees to go FFP regs didn’t force Bruno and his agent to insert that clause into his new deal …

?

It’s not based on three-year rolling losses anymore - it’s based on % of turnover.

Makes sense - thanks Matt

We know what the differences are though - they’re not a secret.
