"City have always claimed they have “irrefutable evidence” to contest the charges" writes the Sunday Times. City probably should have brought that up at the trial.

Possibly the most robbed team is actually Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. Without City's now-confirmed cheating, they'd have had a five year dynasty to speak about. This is bigger than one club being affected. It's Lance Armstrong-Tour de France levels.

A club guilty of a decade-long scheme to submit false financial information to the league, for the purpose of securing an unfair on-field advantage, should not only be thrown out of the league and have all its titles vacated, its owner should be compelled to sell the club.

The whole point of VAR is to correct mistakes, but they're saying unanimously that even though it was wrong, it shouldn't have warranted a review. This is why people get angry and don't trust the system or ProRef because the way they interpret things doesn't make sense.

Manchester City, still awaiting a verdict on charges they broke Premier League rules for a decade, have equalled the British transfer record by signing Enzo Fernandez for 125m pounds. They've now spent more than 300m pounds on three new midfielders this window. Man City deny wrongdoing.

Today's blog. 👇
I loved the pictures and the videos and the stories of the scenes around the stadium on Tuesday evening. Not just because it was Arsenal fans celebrating an Arsenal victory, but I heard so many friends, and otherwise, talk about how wonderfully it represented the diversity of the area and how the club was fundamental to that. People of every stripe congregated to share something special, something positive, something to celebrate.

At a time when it feels like large gatherings of people are often built on divisiveness and hate, this was all about love. Love of the team, love of the club, love of the achievement, love of fellow fans regardless of what they look like, who they worship, where they come from, who they love, or anything else. Fuck knows we need more of that, and while I recognise Arsenal winning the title in this context, in these particular set of circumstances is rare and hard to replicate, I don't think that fundamental connection on a human level should feel as difficult to find as it so often does.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades hit the market. $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else. They made huge gains. Unusual.
