Manchester City 22/24

[Humberto]

Just after the Community Shield game, Liverpool fans and the media were speculating that Nunez was going to be a better buy than our new forward.
Seems Julian Alvarez is proving them wrong.

Early days.

 

[twistedAM]

Early days.

I know but he's not bad for £14m. Very canny piece of business; see also Manuel Akanji ..so far. Seems just as good as our collection of £50m+ defenders.

I mean, we all know it will be a fine but still......

teeheehee.

 

[marshall]

Going dahhhn

 

[Pickman's model]

teeheehee.

Spurs fans will froth at the least provocation

Liverpool League winners 2021-22

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

teeheehee.

I bet David in Bexleyheath loves to call Everton fans 'the Bitters.'

 

[The39thStep]

Think there's some truth in this especially when you think that this investigation has apparently managed to take four years

 

[Yossarian]

If there's a ruling that leads to Liverpool winning the Premier League title twice in one day I might just turn my phone off for a while

That badge will look good when you play Stoke away next season.

three divisions above city then?

Be hilarious if City were relegated over this, the owners took offence & pulled out, and they then went back to being pre-financial doping City, rescuing themselves from relegation to League One, after a shambolic campaign, via an injury time header from some Andy Morrison-type jobber, away to Rotherham, in the last game of the season….

…parallel universe stuff sadly.

I read that the bloke in charge of the investigation's an Arsenal supporter

 

[tommers]

It'll be a fine. If that

 

[two sheds]

true enough

just to confirm that the arsenal supporter bit wasn't just any old rumour

Lawyer who will lead the investigation into Man City's alleged FFP breaches is an Arsenal fan

Man City will have to navigate their way around the Arsenal supporter when they contest the Premier League charges.

it was a top grade rumour

I read or imagined or perhaps was at one point going to write a great description of Andy Morrison as a portly village policeman cheeks puffed desperately chasing after kids who had been scrumping apples.

 

[The39thStep]

Just read that if City were deducted 15 points then they would still be above Chelsea (my club ) and Liverpool.

 

[T & P]

As well as Liverpool, Mourinho and Ole might end up having won a league title for United as well after all

I wouldn't mind Mario Ballotelli as player-coach in that case.

'We're going down with a billion in the bank... '

'We never win at home and we never win away, we lost last week and we lost today. We don't give a fuck 'cos we're all pissed up...'

Fucking looking forward to these things that will never happen. The Mickey Mouse Sky four league has gone forever. Hopefully, this will bring the whole protectionist cartel down. That isn't what City as a club want, but I do.

The Prem is a battleground between American and Arabian interests - a long cry from the days of a loo roll manufacturer vs a dodgy butcher. But that's capitalism.

 

[RD2003]

The whole thing might be put on the back-burner if it goes nuclear in Ukraine, though. Which is a high possibility as the NATO weapons flood in.

Lucky for Man City if it does then

Award for most gratuitous use of a Ukraine reference

They hate being given a black eye by the Arabs.

Are you really this naive at your age?

 

[two sheds]

yes afraid so

 

[RD2003]

yes afraid so

It's OK mate. Some people spend their whole lives taking everything at face value. It's just the way they are.

Nuclear devastation will stop Arsenal winning the league anyway so it's an ill wind ...
