Premier League giving it big licks. Some of us are old enough to remember Manchester City and 5 other English clubs facing no sanction after conspiring to break up the league and fuck off with all the telly money, so let’s see what happens this time. www.premierleague.com/en/news/4727...

Premier League Statement: Manchester City FC
An independent Commission has found Manchester City FC guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.

Record shop staff are, of course, famous for responding with things like: "That's a great choice!" "You have excellent taste" "Let me go out of my way to help you" ..so this is deffo gone feel 100% authentic.

An entertaining but pointless game, and there are still 734 more days of this International Break left to enjoy. #thefootball

Never been entirely convinced by him but Princess Diana has had a great game tonight. Also, been living in Barcelona for months and still looks bone white.

Chelsea were allowed to become a 10 foot tall chicken. This allowed Man City to become 20ft chicken. Newcastle were prevented from becoming a 30ft chicken. Now everybody else has to sell their eggs in case they become massive chickens.

There is a *lot* to unpack here, trust me. Being on trial for murdering your wife and that not being thing the peanut gallery hate you for the most, is astounding.

I don’t see how you can retrospectively punish Man City without also compensating those who lost out on titles, CL, got relegated, etc., which has innumerable knock on effects further down the leagues. But you *could* dock them 1,000 points which they have to claw back over consecutive seasons.

This isn't really saying anything concrete, and I'll believe it when they are actually penalised. www.nytimes.com/athletic/704...

Manchester City found guilty on almost all Premier League charges relating to financial breaches (Gift Article)
City were charged by the Premier League in February 2023.

I am very sceptical about the claim that AI will kill humanity, but I have to admit I hadn’t considered the possibility that we might just all eye roll ourselves to death.

No idea why Blues fans are up in arms over their new kit. The colours are great and the massive V in the design looks really smart. #avfc

This and Run Wild by Babs show how Bee Gees’ key changes are a contact sport for non Gibbs. Diana Ross just about clings on; Babs steamrolls through them. (Although in fairness to Diana Ross, Chain Reaction is completely fucking mental.) The Gibbs, of course, could sing these songs effortlessly.

That own goal is double hilarious because it’s Man U, and it puts Spurs bottom.

+1 for this. Home printers are essentially white goods, and white goods do not need to be connected to the Internet, or have an app. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Whatever the result here I think we can rely on Arsenal fans to react with calmness and humility

The debate we’re about to endure about Manchester United getting stitched up is going to make the 7 week long International Break feel like Christmas.

Manchester City do something wrong and face immediate consequences. I thought that was impossible.

Completely outplayed second half so no complaints. Glasnered again. Forest were decent and could have scored five or six, while we looked disjointed. Also, first taste of what will be the Villa Park wind tunnel until the NS is finished; it’s gonna be fecking brutal come November, lads. #avfc

Arteta there, 5 yards outside of his technical area, complaining to the referee about the position of a Chelsea throw in.

If - like Gary Neville - you’ve never seen teams leave players up top when defending a corner, I can confirm that Villa were leaving players up when defending corners all last year, and - perhaps not coincidentally - Villa’s set piece coach is now at Chelsea. #punditry

A tough watch, but.. 📈 The results are at least trending in the right direction. ⭐️ Our 5 best signings are yet to play (apart Gomes’ clown car 35 mins 🤡) 🐢 Giving everyone a 5 game head start didn’t do us any harm last season. 🇨🇳 Never in Villa’s history have emojis been a reason to worry #avfc
