Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 19hThey do have a unfair advantage, english football has always been the one thing in this country not obsessed with london and the bent Financial rules are changing that 040
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The opening game of the season that finished 3 3 against man city. Didn't win but played some fantastic football 020
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I generally am aiming for a terrifying family of super inbred giants 000
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Who the fuck is looking at badinoch and thinking yes please. Im not going to vote tory so im not the target group but I genuinely don't think ive ever seen a more utterly dislikable human being in charge of a major party. 000
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Hes a knob but his books are fine and will do the job your looking for100%. No mental ingredients you'll use once a year either 010
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 03/10/2026And they have to leave domestic football completely and accept they cant come back when it fails. 120
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 02/10/2026'Newcastle wasn't able to achieve what they meant to become', and my clients inability to put more than 3/4 a season of performances together obviously had nothing to do with they 010
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It says it in the judgement, they thought the people giving evidence on behalf of city were pretty blatantly lying 010
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 30/09/2026They obviously need to have a severe punishment but I really struggle to get that angry. It may be because I increasingly see the game as legitimate a sport as wwe 010
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Thats the bit that I struggle with. Im supposed to be furious at man city, but not chelsea who did exactly the same thing just a few years earlier. Im also supposed to forget superleague and project big picture which was a far more heinous assault on football. 222
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Its a private memebers club run by and for its members. Theres no one to take it off them or anyone they are answerable too 010
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Does anyone outside arsenal care that much? I knew they were cheating, everyone knew they were cheating. Im still far angrier about superleague and project big picture which no one was ever punished for 100
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This entire case boils down to them grossly overstating there popularity and therefore what companies would pay to be associated with them. Never seen a city shirt outside england 010
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Cant imagine the auditors whosigned of the accounts are very happy 020
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Superleague and project big picture were far more massive assaults against the game but no one ever got a punishment and the execs behind it still run their clubs. Cant imagine what the difference is.... 020
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If i understand it they have very limited reasons for appeal. Cant on basis of any evidence prevented, they basically have to prove the panel was bent 110
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Theyll have to give the a point deduction thats pretty much set in stone now when they've broken psr or cheated to avoid it. At the same time they owe other clubs 300 million. If they throw the book at them does that get paid? If not do other clubs go bust? 010
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Serious question. If city are relegated and the other prem clubs pile in to sue them what happens to the 328million transfer installments they owe? How many clubs end up in bother if they throw the book at them? 210
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 29/09/2026@priceoffootball.bsky.social hi kieron. Just quick q. If city were relegated/demoted how would it affect the money owed other clubs in transfer instalments? Would they be able to pay it? Could this financially ruin english/european football? 000
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I think you can do a club cap rather than each individual player. At least means clubs couldn't accumulate 30 world class players, mainly to stop anyone else getting them 000
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Id bet money she rings the base security 2-3 times a week with various reports 000
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The big clubs desperately want cost control so their owners make more money but dont want more competition and elevating transfer and wages so only they can sign the best players makes sure no one else can really get in 030
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The solution to the competitive issues in the prem isn't to let us and villa in the top club and kick the ladder away again, its reigning in the spending at the top so all clubs have at least a chance of competing and fans arnt relentlessly rinsed with the excuse 'we have too for psr' 130
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Yeah thats right. The championship and prem have refused to uphold each other's punishments before and are barley on speaking terms anymore 000
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Years and years. Absolutte shit show. I wonder if city gambled that theyd get away with it as to much disruption to police it 110
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Man u, arsenal, Liverpool etc will go after them privately in the courts for 'loss of opportunity' - missed championships europe quali, missed money. They financially devastated them for daring them the challenge 120
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I think Everton were never in a position to be found or plead not guilty, they breached the rules the tribunal was solely about 'fair' punishment and mitigation. That bit hasn't started yet 100
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Everyone like the idea of benefit cuts, just not for them, their parents, friends, people they know etc just the giant cloud of 'scroungers' they've never met but are certain exist 100
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 24/09/2026If 45 minutes of football is getting in the way of your all day drinking save yourself a fortune and just stay in the pub 010
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Does anyone want this? People getting up every 5 mins for a piss and performativly throwing beer every time we score. Maybe im old but leave it the fuck alone 120
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Is this an american thing or has everyone had a stroke and need an ambulance? 130
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 22/09/2026We also have no one who can head the ball reliably so why cross... 010
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Most international matches are so meanigless now your going to see alot more of this 110
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Brentford look superb, think theyll have a good season. Think Everton will run out of players in nov/dec, Leeds look at least as good as us. Chelsea and man u could do anything 010
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Gonna have a couple more cans and cut and paste best of them on isaks insta 120
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Hes the one in the team that moves the ball forwards quickly but looks like he's aiming not just putting percentage balls up there 030
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Murphy def dropped alot deeper, I thought he was playing wb as well 100
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Are youth players allowed to do that, kind of feel children should be able to choose where they play but can of worms with amount of money in the game 100
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Its like the worst of allerdyce football/pomo/punt and run. Its obviously the plan cos we've done it all season but were not even doing it well 000
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Can one of the tacticos explain how what were doing is different to allardyce football. Other than we cant defend 000
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The keeper and rice both did even worse fouls on the player directly behind the given foul too 110
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Never known a fanbase still so utterly miserable when they have comfortably the best team in the country 200
Steve @stebfield.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Honestly the big 6 fans are unbearable. I said on here that I thought the pen in the arsenal game was soft but ref was within his rights to give it and my feed is full of arsenal fans whinging and saying how hard done by they are 010
