Shocking by VAR not to give that pen on Isak. Clear as day he pulls the shirt

There has to be a conversation about Alisson’s appalling distribution. He was responsible for the goal & his distribution has been shite for several games.

Arteta is a horrible piece of work. Mouthing off at a 16 year old who’s already devastated at being sent off.

Yes lad
9 - Florian Wirtz's nine chances created from open play against Brentford is the most by a player in a Premier League game since Sadio Mané v Burnley in January 2021 (9) and the most by a player in an away game since Samir Nasri v Spurs in August 2011 (10). Progress.

This. Absolutely this.

I was telling my friends that it's not the players fault and they have no control over it but after seeing the smugness and the smiles I want them all to burn

How long is the stench of the “sham” going to corrode the meaning, worth, and very essence of the Premier League? Listening to commentary about Manchester City’s players matching the defiance of their ownership and triumphing in adversity. Listening to fans chorusing the names of the men running the club, wearing masks or displaying banners of their faces and jibing: “We’re Man City, we’ll cheat when we want.” Victory being framed as “a lovely moment,” a show of togetherness as though some grave injustice has been imposed on City, rather than their hierarchy being found by an independent commission to have orchestrated financial doping on an industrial scale. Their opponents and the rest of us wondering if any of this actually matters now and how much of it ever did? There can be no business as usual pretence. We need a full stop to the absurdity.

Do we need any more evidence as to why we should never have allowed states to own clubs? @premierleague
Yes. If his dad hadn’t died that day he would have had a face to face with Khaldoon at No10, where Khaldoon would have threatened him, the new PM, with withdrawal of UAE funding in the Uk if City were damaged by the charges.

To think this went unpunished while Ryan Gravenberch was sent off for two pathetically harsh yellow cards today Is it any wonder football fans are utterly sick of refereeing incompetence at this stage?
But this wasn't a pen 😂😂😂😂😂

Jérémy Doku is a sensational talent. He cost Man City just £55m of the £900m they corruptly accrued in the "cheating years".

It's mad this, imagine being found Guilty of billion pound fraud, on the scale of Enron before the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and then having people say "well that's not how Enron see it", "I want to look for different angles". Expected better from Guillem, blinded by Pep.
Replying to @rwilliams1947
Yes, that is what the commission found out Not how they see it Just curious about how the club see themselves, that was the point of the comparison Interesting how trying to look for another angle brings so much vitriol. No possibility of discussion of any kind which means there is no way back for City in terms of reputation (which is an obvious thing to say) It will not stop me trying to analyse things from different angles 😉

What exactly is there to view from a different angle? They cheated repeatedly. Premeditated. Knowingly. And are probably still doing it now. No shame. No contrition. No integrity. When you appear to be a City shill then expect vitriol.

These disgusting people shouldn’t be anywhere near a football club, let alone owning one. Get despotic state-ownership out of football @premierleague
The thread that I'm going to tweet in the next few mins contains some seriously disturbing information about a sexual predator that landed Man City in court a few years ago. So, genuinely, if this is a subject that could adversely affect you, don't click on links, or mute me. 1/n

Oh, BTW Bloo, I do some legal work for lawyers on a pro bono basis, eg when 8 former mcfc players went to court for careers lost after being sexually abused at City as kids by predatory paedophile Barry Bennell. City’s lawyers called Bennell to gaslight them in court, from prison
Thanks for asking, Bloo. I earn my living via my Sportingintelligence Substack (Google it, new Subscribers welcome), via Nutmeg, via consultancy for legal cases for loss of earnings for footballers, and freelance work including recently the MoS, New Statesman, tv, radio and pods

The more you read about Khaldoon Al Mubarak, the more you realise he can’t carry on as City chairman if PL is to maintain integrity Wholly unsurprising that he tried this - and yet still shocking that he did - via @FT This is why nation states can’t own football clubs

He should have three Premier League titles to his name. He went toe-to-toe operating fairly. A penny for his thoughts today. No punishment can turn back the clock. His legacy has been enhanced in the past couple of days but what a pity that he didn't get what he deserved. Legend.

Back in 2014, there was a man who was already aware of the irregularities involving Manchester City. That man now runs FIFA. The infamous Gianni Infantino, then UEFA General Secretary, abused his authority, shared confidential documents and, in short, outmanoeuvred the Investigatory Chamber, doing everything in his power to ensure that both Manchester City and PSG would merely receive a fine, avoiding a deeper investigation that could have led to a Champions League ban. All of these details were also revealed through Football Leaks. Given his actions as UEFA General Secretary and, more recently, as FIFA President, I can only say, in my humble opinion, that Gianni Infantino has become a cancer on football and should have no place in the future of the game.
