Shame..where Lippi started.

That is poor. I passed through there not so long ago

Venezia horrendous. They have got worse. Look they didnt recruit that well in defence but they clearly should have axed Stroppa and they had the perfect time with that international break. Already look certain to go down.

The worst thing about Jenrick's rhetoric, the ever more shocking language they feel they need to use to stand out, is it further normalised and emboldens a number of people that have increasing lost humanity. There are people out there openly talking about being allowed to kill immigrant children

No one cares about that anymore

This is abhorrent

Agree

BBC presenting Reform PR again...they will do this in government. It's so disproportionate

The case isn't going to be looked at again. The judicial panels assessment of the evidence can only be appealed on process. The substance is done.

Yep, trouble is, it isn't enough

If you give them a deduction so big it ensures relegation now it makes the season redundant. If you do it for next season then they may win the league and will qualify for the UCL. There's no easy answer. Given the lack of contrition and scale of the cheating you just have to bite the bullet now

The hardest thing for the sanctions panel & PL is what to do with this season. If you expel City now you have a mess. At the end of the season and you risk them winning the title or a farce. So you give a ceremonial points reduction and that makes all their games redundant.....1/2

The targeting of one data center is proving a really useful natural experiment showing which sites and ideologies are an echo chamber of Russian propaganda

They just had to announce the sanction with the verdict rather than have this situation with City..and also why were people saying I feel sorry for their fans….everyone knows how football fans would react

The trolling, the sticking it to the haters like it’s just fan banter, the tribalism of City from everyone involved with the club is just really pathetic

To try and make out oh the rules were just a nuisance and who cares. Utter clown. He just cannot grasp the severity of the manner in which they distorted a whole sport to their will.

Joe Cole. Moron. His comments in TNT about City are idiotic. He says it isnt as bad as Juventus match fixing. The calciopoli verdict found there hadn't been a single match that was fixed. Lazy, ignorant. City have been found guilty of sporting fraud without which they wouldn't have had the personnel

Absolute BS. Who knows what Haaland really got to move there

They seem to be pretending its all still amazing. But no, it can't or shouldn't mattet
