I have no idea on the content given I don't sub to the Athletic. What are they getting at?

I once had a dirt cheap subscription for the athletic for basically nothing for the first few months. I cancelled way before I needed to. It was pretty poor I thought, and some of the stuff I've seen in the last couple of years it looks like it's only gotten worse.

Well there's always well grounded quality stuff like this from the BBC to counter the shite from the likes of the Athletic

That is genuinely mind blowing that they've made that goal of the tournament. It's just a breakaway goal and he looks like he scuffs the finish too. 

 

If Plymouth Argyle score that goal, it's not even getting in the top 50.

I don't get all this wanking over Cole Palmer. Yes, he's a good player and has 22 goals and 11 assists this season but 9 of those goals were penalties. If you take those away then he's had a marginally better season than Anthony Gordon but to listen to the media you'd think he's the second coming of Messi.

Ex-Man City, currently Chelsea, English - of course he's the second coming of Messi - until he stuffs up in the Euros and gets sent off. 🙂

Also, what's happening with Man City and Girona both being in the CL next season?

 

 

The rule does seem pretty pointless. Basically you have to show that at "some level" the clubs are independent of each other.

 

We're certainly not the first multi club organization to be allowed to compete.  As an example,RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg have been deemed okay for years.

 

That's my only grounds for justification tbh. Also i think we "only" own 49% of Girona, but i'm not 100% on that as i haven't seen the paperwork.

Can we not just buy half the stars in the Saudi league for buttons while flogging hem Miggy, Wilson and Longstaff for £300m?

 

Why continue to play by the rules when everyone else takes the piss?

Man City have brought legal action against the Premier League to get rid of the related party transaction rules.

 

Have I ever told you what a great bunch of lads you all are, @LondonBlue?

Surely the PL need to put a ban on these shady sponsors with dubious human rights abuses? They should temporarily ban them until the next PL meeting to ascertain the matter...

(Can't imagine the BBC or others missing out an opportunity to link the bank to the club they sponsor had it have been another club somewhere else?)

There’s been some dodgy stuff associated with them before, hiding money from regimes like Libya and Iran which they got fined for. As someone pointed out at the time LFC got fuck all stick for it whereas NUFC got loads of negative press when Wonga were our kit sponsors.

it fucking better be us.

while I appreciate they probably haven't wanted to appear to be rocking the boat too much less than 3 years in, I can't help but feel the saudis have been acting like a bunch of fucking pussies up to now.

it's time our ownership put their necks on the block.
