🤣🤣 how very cruel. 4th quarter rescue. The eagles 3rd down play absolutely stunk.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

What an absolute shit show. The indiscipline throughout this whole rams team is so uncharacteristic. Stafford struggling. The secondary still hasn't improved despite the additions in the office season. Rams will be 1-3 and they were most people's pre season picks for the superbowl.

I think that's probably going to be it for Renee back to back slow starts to the seasons have meant the league is out of reach before it even got going. There is too much investment in this squad to be sitting 10th with -2 GD. The team just hasn't gelled at all and they need fresh ideas imo.

The mentality of the women's team is absolutely abysmal at the moment. When they do go ahead they're nearly always pegged back.

On housing contracts and high-rises with government hand outs on the basis of a percentage being affordable housing that never really arrived. Zoe Bread, who is amazing, covered Burnham's links to renaker through the GMCA in a few vids earlier in the year, worth watching.

The regeneration in that area of Manchester because of the city owners is monumental, it obviously helped him become as powerful and popular as he ended up but does that in turn mean he then feels indebted to them? The redevelopment of Manchester is a weird one a few people made A LOT of money.

Their kit and merchandising sales ranks 11th in the global market and behind all other teams in the traditional "Big 6" but yeah there's surely no problem with the amounts they are pulling in from companies that have links to their owner. Definitely nothing dodgy.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Our lowest Emirates attendance is 44k but yeah sure those deals are definitely realistic and at fair market rate. They should be stripped and sold for parts. Pathetic club.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

They had a game against Norwich in the league cup with tickets going for 15£ and they went to general sale with 6 tickets available per person and still only sold 32k with those numbers including away fans. 🤣🤣

I would actually be very interested in her response as it seems to just be, no I have integrated and see myself as adopting British values. From what I've seen of the far right protests and marches a load of them don't want any non-whites in the country.

They used to advertise champions league nights against top teams on social media for student discounts but we are supposed to believe that they are capable of selling the biggest shirt sponsor deal around.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

What I don't understand is why nobody ever puts the question to her what do you say about supporters of your party or indeed elected officials in her party that would argue that based on her self determination that she is not British she shouldn't be in the country or an MP.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It's hiding in plain sight, they don't even sell out their stadium for games but they are pulling in one of the highest commercial revenues in football. It's ridiculous.

Premier league clubs won't get to decide whether the league deduct enough points to relegate city though do they. Teams too cowardly to expel city from the league to look out for their own interests is absolutely pathetic. Money talks though. Gross.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

It's also the same argument they apparently made at the hearing. But the premier league decided that this was something they put in place after being found out. Which I actually think they might get away with on appeal.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I don't think it's that surprising he has said what he said. Do I agree with what he's saying no but he obviously has to be diplomatic.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I mean the investment and development in the city over the time he was mayor obviously did a lot for his popularity in the area it's no great surprise hes said what he said he's also a politician and this is a nation state we are talking about and one that heavily invests in the UK.

Newcastle would probably be like city if they could as well though. Both shouldn't own football clubs.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

But we did cheat, we were good at set pieces and had a good defence everyone said that was cheating.

High out of control but there wasn't really much force don't think var should've got involved after the ref made the call but still.

Massively tarnish the majority of the success that he achieved. Going out the same way he did in his playing career. Back then it was doping now it's financial doping.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Pep guardiola is undoubtedly one of the best managers of all time in terms of getting his team to play some of the best football the league has seen but the fact that it was built with knowing he never had to worry about building a squad, money didn't matter. That and the Barca ref payment case.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It's one of those punishments that always gets overruled by CAS as well. Like teams with transfer bans.

000

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

This 20-25 point deduction floated around for city is a joke by the way. Last season 20 point deduction would mean Sunderland missing out on Europe league or 25 would mean Brighton missing out on conference league. Nor fair for those clubs who have worked within their means to be punished.

The whole industry is built on the backs of other people's work without their knowledge or them being credited. I know companies have done stuff like this all the time e.g. reCaptcha being Google getting ppl transcribing their scans of other people's intellectual property but doesnt make it ok.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

There's also the theft of intellectual property that was used to build the models as well.

Raising the price for literally everything else just so people can make shitty videos online are what people mainly have a gripe with. As well as it being used in things like military targeting programs etc is all very troubling. Add the fact that the CEOs of all of the major players are freaks

There is no doubt that there are a lot of practical uses for AI, things like alphafold can make a real substantive change to the way medicines cures and vaccines are created however I think data centres taking local communities drinking water, completely destroying habitats sky rocketing ram prices

This arsenal team just isn't working. It's like Renee is trying to give everyone minutes and not actually playing anyone where they should be playing. Don't think Ona has played well once this season.

Jadarian price has fumbled in back to back weeks. Needs to really work on his ball security.

It's genuinely embarrassing to be a fan of anynvkub in the league and not argue that what city have done is fucking gross.

Every relegated team should be after a pay day from this.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

The arrogance of all those city fans that thought they would get away with it is astonishing. Or the ones that still don't think anything will happen. Absolute arseholes.

The trailer is even gutting. 500 innocents killed to get one target. That math is incomprehensible to me. Meanwhile, yesterday Netanyahu claimed what’s happening is “the opposite of genocide.”

If they get a points deduction and are then relegated no. The EFL have to accept whether to allow them to join and at what stage of the pyramid they can join if they are kicked out I believe.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Liverpool vs. City is the next fixture when the league resumes should be fireworks considering they are probably the most affected team by city cheating.

There are already so many rumours about him going to Barca but maybe Martin can persuade him.

It is annoying that it means halaand will go to Barca so we need to win the champions league this year if we want to win it.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Also financially most teams in the league could argue a negative financial impact because of their actions and also those that have been relegated like the current ongoing Burnley Everton case

000

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Give them enough to send them down year one and then have more point deductions for when they come back into the league like Leicester getting their deduction after getting relegated after breaking the EFL spending rules last year

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

You think players would stay knowing they are essentially 3 years without Europe add in a transfer ban and actual financial regulations they may find it harder to build back.

Edd Powell @eddpowell.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Also stops the issue the premier league have of the EFL having to accept them into the football league if they are expelled from the prem. As they will be relegated into the league not kicked out and allowed to join a level below. Transfer bans are very rarely upheld by cas as well.
