Here are my suggestions for how to punish Manchester City
Possible Punishments for Manchester City

1. The Goat Punishment
The Manchester City goalkeeper must hold a baby goat in his hands for the next 100 matches. If he drops or discards the goat, or attempts to place the goat in a backpack that he then wears, the opposing team will be awarded a penalty and the goalkeeper will have to hold an adult goat.

2. The Giant Boot Punishment
All of the football boots of the Manchester City players are replaced with boots that are four sizes too big for their feet. If any player attempts to remove his giant boots and play in his socks, the whole team will have to put on new boots that are five sizes too big for their feet. 

3. The Puzzle Punishment
Before a Manchester City player is allowed to take a shot towards the opposition's goal, that player must solve a puzzle. It could be a crossword puzzle, a jigsaw, that day's Wordle or even an unsolved murder case. They won't know beforehand. Until they have completed the puzzle, they are prohibited from shooting. 

4. The Nickelback Punishment
A Nickelback album is played on the PA system throughout every Manchester City match. “But won't this be annoying to the opposition too?” you ask. No because they'll be allowed to wear noise-cancelling headphones to block out the terrible noise.

5. The Large Coat Punishment
For every match, all Manchester City players must wear a large coat. “That doesn't sound so bad,” I hear you say. Well, that's because you're not imagining a large enough coat. It would be huge. Like a very, very long wedding dress (and they're not allowed to hire bridesmaids to help hold it up). I really can't adequately describe how large this coat would be but just take my word for it – it's a really big coat.

I don't want to criticise online bakers (many of whom I respect) but one trend I dislike is when they use “tsp” and “tbsp” in the same recipe. Yes, it's nice to add variety to the wording of your recipe but since they mean the same thing, you should pick one and just stick with it.

were up to me I probably wouldn't eliminate physical media for my forthcoming console right on the heels of delisting hundreds of digital movies from people's libraries and while on the cusp of a world historical digital storage supply squeeze, but I guess that's why they get paid the big bucks.

Here is an easy solution: Food stains are humiliating, as they suggest you're a little baby who can't feed themselves. Oil stains, such as those you'd get from working on your car, suggest you're tough, independent, and skilled. Thus, simply cover your food stains with used motor oil.
A white garment with some kind of food stain. Humiliating. A pair of dirty hands rest on a car engine. Rough, tough, cool.

It’s a good day to revisit this Ursula Le Guin quote. In the best possible reality, Earthsea would be the dominant fantasy series for children.
“I have no great opinion of [JK Rowling’s writing style]. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a ‘school novel’, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.”

In Super Mario Odyssey, many Goombas can be stacked. The limit for a legitimate Goomba stack is 30, as they will stop spawning afterwards. Manually spawning more Goombas reveals that the limit for an illegitimate Goomba stack is 200. At 201 Goombas, the game crashes.
