Maybe, but won't help in recouping any transfer fee..?

That's what general rag opinion plus all the 'media' were saying after the previous season, but I was thinking 'hang on, look how many stuffy points they salvaged via flukes and the usual diabolical reffing decisions, they cant get higher' - unfortunately the bottom half bet for even those twats was too skinny at 7/1, so failed to take it. True, they probably cannot get lower this time but 1) we can hope, and 2) I don't see them finding salvation at the top end...

Sorry if this has already been posted. Deadline 08June. Downside is that BBC Sport dept is infested with little rag shites who revel in promoting rag propaganda and attacking City at any and every opportunity. Good luck! Senior Football Reporter (Newcastle) Job Details | BBC

Talking of which, in a randomly tangential manner... Law change after Julian Alvarez penalty controversy

That is fucking shocking, disgraceful if that's gone ahead!

repeatedly...

Apparently 5k unsold. Dunno why they leave that big blank block front left for the cameras. Lots of issues at ours about matchday pricing and reduction of season ticket availability, but I think today is much more about Wembley burn-out, semis and charity shield shouldn't be there etc.. I know 82k yesterday gives the FA a get-out but, since (incl) 2011, today would be City's 28th visit, iirc, that's a big stretch for a northern club's fans whichever way you look at it... (even though you're all still revelling in the warm glow of trophydom!)

Soft free kick? It was a fucking scandal, surprised the good bergers here are not up in arms from a football sense, no foul, defender fucks up and throws himself to the ground, seeing this shit too often now... ps. shearer has the chance on coms to call that cheating out, but doesn't, wtf?

Not sure that helps you much, he's a bit pants and they may introduce someone a canny bit better (to use the local vernacular, if appropriate!)

They beat Roma away 7-1 a couple of seasons back, I've lost a few quid on them several times since, looking for another unexpected hail mary...

and have the 90s not been calling, asking for their jacket back?

Well we weren't that in the old scheme of things either, but somehow spurs were, and are..?? Meanwhile, with the hilarious demise of the rags, the phraseology moves toward 'big'13, and you're in the club!!

City are NOT the cartel FFS!! We are leading the glorious disruption of their closed-shop protectionist rules shite! Have you not been paying attention..? That said, I can understand anyone who wants ABC (anyone but City) to win the cup... on this occasion.

Wow! Tense. Fucking deserved, well done.

You've seen what happens if you can keep salah quiet (psg), not only for his general excellence in front of goal but him being the permanent out-ball, for which twont gets so much credit when he is really just hoofing it into that space/channel for salah to pick up. Double up on him, man mark maybe, don't give him space or touch him in the box. Good luck, take it home and leave them with just one of the four that the media scouse-rimmers wanted them to win... Oh, and those coming down today, try to leave something in the tank for matchday (we never learn...!)
