So... Eddie Howe and Unai Emery have each spent close to a billion pounds... There's nothing like spouting false information to try and prove a point. #NUFC #AVFC

Replying to @Gooner145
Eddie Howe and Unai spent close to a billion pounds each building their teams. The whole idea, they had to work within massive constraints compared to the 'Big 6' is so false.

It's interesting to read fans of #LFC, #AFC and #MUFC defending the current financial rules despite most other fans questioning them. These same fans also say a Red Cartel doesn't exist. Okay.

One final thought: if #MCFC are punished when it's all done, I hope the EPL also punish another #club who has at least 5 employees with dual contracts involving money from outside of the club. We'll wait and see.

Let's not forget the EPL bias. Look how #CFC were punished compared #NFFC and #EFC. And don't get me started on the European SuperLeague and the punishments given, which have still not been paid.

The #MCFC hearing covers, the period up to around 2019. Surely there is now a realistic chance that further breaches of rules will be uncovered after this period, meaning their potential troubles are far from over, regardless of the outcome of the current case.

Now that we know #MCFC have been found guilty of all but 1 of the charges against them, let's see if other clubs are similarly charged as they have knowingly breached the same rules. The coming weeks and months will be telling.

One for Spurs fans. When RdZ took over, you were 17th and ended up 17th, relying on other results to go your way to stay up - not exactly a great improvement. Now, you're bottom after 5 games. What have you seen to suggest he is the man to revive your long-term fortunes?

At this point, I genuinely believe Arsenal can win every single game we play 😂 Every match I’m just sitting there thinking, “Yeah, we’ve got this one too.” The confidence is getting ridiculous now. Brighton today? We’ll find a way. Next opponent? We’ll find a way. Big game? We’ll find a way. Ugly game? Somehow, we’ll still find a way 😂 I don’t know when Arsenal became this confident, but I’m enjoying every second of it. Just keep the mentality, stay focused and let the boys do their thing. 🔴⚪️

When decisions go against clubs, we hear fans says it's rigged or corrupt. It's not. It is officiating that is erroneous at best, incompetent at worst.

The decision not to get a left back was taken by Jason Wilcox, not Carrick. Similar with all incomings into the club, Carrick doesn't have the final say.

For everyone who says Dorgu is a left back….. ridiculous. Decision not to get a left back is a disgrace and will cost Carrick his job.

Is RdZ the right fit for Spurs? Fans say he kept them up last season, but that was more to do with other results going your way han actually climbing the table. This season, he brought players in, had a full pre-season but, if anything, look worse. Worrying times for the fans.

Richarlison and Spurs is getting very messy. If Spurs paid him what he is owed, this would never have happened and he'd be playing for Everton now. Now there are potential lawsuits with FIFA involved.

Liverpool soon to be sponsored by Turkish Airlines for £60m per year. I look at our 3rd shirt and can only dream of what might have been... #NUFC
