Love the FPL, love the Arsenal. 5 x top 1.5k finishes and they were all luck.

Did you not read what I said? Liverpool and Arsenal tried to vote in new rules that would allow everyone to spend the same. Chelsea and City voted against it. There is no ‘red cartel’ however much you want to bemoan it. Then there’s UEFA which have tighter rules in place than the PL do now

Oh please stop with the red card cartel bullshit. I agree with your wider points (although legality might be an issue) but Liverpool and Arsenal both voted for anchoring last year which would have meant everyone can spend the same. Not much of a cartel if that happens is it.

Every City match is going to be poisonous and awful and it’s going to do real damage to the league

I think given the strict conditions under which it can go to the high court it’s unlikely it will get there. At the very least they won’t hear it on its merits and it’ll be some procedural nonsense.

You were spot on about this. I nearly threw up hearing him wax lyrical about them beating 10 men

It genuinely boggles the mind how they can be reffed like this under these conditions

Because there is an enormous shadow over it? Everything that happens on the pitch and in Man City games in particular just has a weird feel. If they’re relegated it means all their games are meaningless and if they aren’t then the integrity of the PL is completely compromised.

It isn’t a great season at all, it’s hollow.

A team found guilty of over 100 breaches of Premier League rules is beating one of the best teams in the league 3-0 away from home thanks to a dubious red card Absolutely desperate situation.

Good for them, they cheated to get there and if there’s any justice they’ll be top of league two this time next season

This was absolutely pathetic from Drury as well

I think it’s entirely the fault of the board or the leadership but the players are the ones that outwardly represent the club. If they bought the club’s assurances then more fool them. They can’t expect anything other than hostility

City have massively had the rub of the green in this game. Bizarre.

You absolutely can put it on the players that signed after the charges were brought tbh. They knew what they were potentially walking into.

Spot on, it’s a morbid curiosity. Once the football starts it will feel incredibly empty

I think it is from the position he strikes the ball. Can have questions as to why he doesn’t end up with a better angle for himself though

Hedgehog @fplhedgehog.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
It took the shape of a lot of poor performances/dropped points over the years and when it went to 0-1 I was pretty resigned. First hour pretty grim (and Leeds it has to be said were excellent throughout), but we got it done

City know the PL will not want this to happen which is why behaving the way they are is so deplorable. They’re almost daring the commission to obliterate them by digging their heels in so much. I think the conditions under which both institutions survive without irrevocable damage are narrow.

Fair enough. Assume you’ve seen the leaked emails etc?

Sorry I’ll rephrase - do you believe they’re innocent?

Do you hand on heart believe that they are?

It’s like they’re daring the PL to do something about it.

I honestly don’t see how they can be allowed to continue under this ownership with any sort of confidence that they’ll act fairly in future. Everything should be wiped from the record and them removed. As a starting point.

It’s all fucking nonsense anyway but it doesn’t directly contradict their position like everyone is saying it does
010
Hedgehog @fplhedgehog.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
No it’s not a rebuttal because whilst they say it wasn’t subsidised directly they acknowledge they’re government owned and therefore receive equity injections/shareholder loans. Their argument will be that it was a loan or equity.

Hedgehog @fplhedgehog.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Having looked further into it it’s not a rebuttal at all, and lots of people including the journalists that are running it look pretty silly. (City are still fucked but not because of this)

There’s nothing wrong with them receiving 900 million *if it’s legitimate sponsorship income that didn’t originate from the owners or a related party*

You talk about them like they’re under 15s or something 😂

Hedgehog @fplhedgehog.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
They have the right to appeal once, and then after that they have to have very serious grounds for procedural unfairness or similar to go anywhere else. In my opinion the chances of it dragging out for years is overblown, but I’m not an expert. At the very least they’ll be sanctioned post appeal
220
Hedgehog @fplhedgehog.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
They have rejected it yes but it won’t stop City trying it on at appeal saying they were wrong to do so They’re very obviously bang to rights based on the leaked emails etc, I can’t see it working.

I’m not arguing for city here ffs 😂 I’m just outlining what their argument will be and why it matters if they can prove it. I don’t think they have any chance of being able to do so.

The assertion is that the state owned sponsors were funded by the state, not by Manchester City’s owners.

Hedgehog @fplhedgehog.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
It’s different if it’s being topped up by an unrelated party vs if it’s being topped up by ownership. City will argue a) it’s the govt and not the owners and b) govt/owners are not related. They have a mountain to climb given that same argument was thrown out first time round
