Martinez making a strong claim to this after getting out of Rogers way for him to score. Very polite, but not great in Premier League footy
The Villa stuff is very funny and maybe even an example of the Villa higher ups buying into the 'red cartel' optics as if it isn't children using that term. You've really got to fuck it up to give Carragher the moral high ground in a situation but fair play, they've managed it.
Load of Chelsea fans on my train
"Arsenal win again like every week, set pieces again, bunch of boring dickheads"
Fucking delicious. It's been far too long since I've got to enjoy the set pieces tears
I see a lot of United fans use our slow rise under Arteta as the benchmark for their last few managers but so far none have had the minerals or backing to transform their club like Arteta did. If Carrick has any of Arteta in him he has to be brave enough to drop Bruno now.
I disagree with Simon more than I agree with him but the way he debated people at least used to he interesting and generally balanced. Now he's just saying any pointless Incoherent shit just for the sake of disagreeing.

It's actually worse than voting for it. They voted against it until they had enough time to cheat their way to the financial position they wanted and then they voted for it.
The fact there are fans quote tweeting this as if the rules forcing teams to make less of a loss is contributing to the fact teams are struggling to make money is a true litmus test for basic intelligence on this app. It's like blaming drink driving laws for drunk drivers.
BREAKING: Football regulators have reported that 94% of English clubs are loss-making.
Sky's @RobHarris has the latest and explains the importance of the report's timing ⬇️
The problem isn't that clubs like Newcastle/Villa can't compete with their owners, the problem is they don't feel like they should have to take the time to build the infastructure for it to have any chance to be sustainable if they decide to fuck off at some point.
🚨 Joe Cole:
🎙 "If your the establishment, Liverpool, Arsenal, Utd, Chelsea etc.. the other clubs don't have capacity to compete." 😡
"So are we to go another fifty years only seeing Arsenal, Utd, Liverpool winning.. Rules need to be changed so others can compete" 👏
#ManCity
That first point is exactly why states should be outlawed from owning clubs
⚖️INSIDE MANCHESTER CITY'S APPEAL
💸Club to argue Abu Dhabi government - rather than owners - behind sponsorship deal top-ups
🧮'Irrefutable evidence' is bank statements showing transfers from govt to sponsors
💻Hacked emails were 'false assumptions' rather than a concoction
🗣️Use of 'sham' and time taken also thought to form part of defence

Roberto Mancini publicly outing City for their double contract is another glorious moment. I mean, it is only further confirmation of what has been said for years.
Both of Mancini’s deals were authorised & signed on the same day by the same person. City’s Head of Finance (Andrew Widdowson) arranged for Abu Dhabi to pay for the Al Jazira agreement.
Mancini’s agent emailed City’s COO (Graham Wallace) asking for the Al Jazira invoice to be paid. Wallace emailed Widdowson asking to for Abu Dhabi to pay.
And there is no reason whatsoever for anyone at City to be involved if it was a legitimate deal. There's no doubt the guilt here, or anywhere else for that matter.
Yet their fans will believe whatever they're told to, because they are living proof sportswashing works.
Roberto Mancini: “I don’t think #ManCity were found guilty, quite the opposite. It’s not a problem that concerns me, and it isn’t anything new. @ManCity are not guilty, and on the double contract it isn’t my problem, theirs if anything…” [via @cmdotcom/@footballitalia]
