It's a lot more interesting. City just pass the ball around with their technically superior players till they inevitably win. It's boring and I hate it. Every game 80% possession, it's not even a contest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really disagree with any of that, despite what I said earlier about how I personally see City being the least of the evils. City's football is excruciating to watch, it's like being slowly suffocated and digested by an anaconda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pen Hearts didn’t get at Motherwell, the failure of VAR to spot the Johnson clear sending off in the OF, then that ridiculous decision on Wednesday. Should have all been over. Add to it all the ref having to blow early twice in a row because of pitch invasions and the zero consequences for Celtic over and over. Horrible club. That old horrible cunt O’Neill didn’t even have the grace to mention Hearts, never mind say anything their players being attacked. He a classless prick, him.

I can't respect that. Sorry, but I can't. And you could say we bought some players but we didn't buy an entire team. And we weren't buying the crem de la crem. We spent within reason, these bastards steroirded their way to the top. Many of the biggest clubs in the world bought it at some point, it’s only very recently that we decided that it’s a form of cheating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how we would work that out, it would have to be how much they spent relative to how much other clubs were spending in that time period. The richest family in Italy bought Juventus in the 1920s and turned them into the biggest club in the country. AC Milan were bankrupt and on a downward spiral when Berlusconi bought them, he immediately broke the world transfer record with Ruud Gullit and built the Sacchi team. Maybe they would’ve become the next Pro Vercelli, but instead a rich man bought them and created arguably the best side ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool's history was worse than ours until the mid 70s when their era of dominance started so people could have said the same about them during that relative to Aston Villa or Everton e.g .

I didn’t know their history and as hard as I tried as I searched through their squad list I just kept seeing some of the best players of the generation joining in 1987 and onwards.

Newcastle were able to break the world transfer record in 1996 and it ended up that we bought fuck all silverware. And we gave that world record transfer fee to Blackburn, who were the very definition of buying silverware.

CallumG6 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Football has been in a death spiral for a long while and now we’re seeing it quite obviously start to consume itself, the PL being the tip of the iceberg. Lid is off Pandora’s box and so I haven’t the faintest fucking clue how they’re going to make football an entertaining spectacle again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumG6 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I mean, the best team in the league being able to freely buy the two best players from their respective teams, mid season, is all that needs to be said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried to do that with Tino and Batty. Manchester United did that precisely with Cole. Arsenal with Ian Wright when they were champions and had a bad start. The only problem with Man City doing it now is that nobody else was is able to because of the new rules. Edited May 16 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules have also worked very well for the selling clubs - Palace and Bournemouth won’t be grumbling about what they brought in. If PSR didn’t exist, then there’s a good chance that the likes of Man City wouldn’t be buying from those sides, but instead offering super clubs crazy money for their top players. The likes of Newcastle and Villa are the only clubs negatively impacted by the current rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoreboard82 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 There's no way that Celtic/ Hearts game should have been ended by that pitch invasion. In reality the game was out of Hearts reach but the game should be ended when the referee decides and not Celtic fans. I think if it happens elsewhere, abandonment would at least be threatened but the authorities are shit scared of the old firm arse cheeks.

In the space of under 4 years since our takeover we spent £750m on a new team and after that expenditure the only remaining 1st team player was Joelinton.
