Julian @karenga.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Really weird game. Poor from a ref’s standpoint. Wonder how long it’s gonna take before Kav is taken off duty, as he so repeatedly shows he doesn’t hold the level. There’s a weird hollow silence to Doku’s goal celebrations on Sky. 110

Reposted by JulianAaron Lerner @aaronclerner.bsky.social · 11/10/2026A facet of the Manchester City convictions that isn't getting enough play is that the combination of the financial cheating with their noncompliance with investigations paints a picture of an entity entirely unsuited to existing in the collective competitive environment of a sporting league. 2556
Reposted by JulianTariq Panja @tariqpanja.bsky.social · 08/10/2026People worrying about what repercussions of Man City being punished could bring for the league should also consider what damage Man City cheating has already wrought: This cheating has corrupted the league for a minimum of a decade and further success built on top of that. 7998

Julian @karenga.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It is actually insane to me how there is even a question what to do with Man City. Here is a team that has agreed rules with 19 other teams, then consistently refused to co-operate and adhere to the same rules, not once or twice but for an entire decade 100
