Companies who answer the phone with a voicemail where you can’t leave a message. You’ll go bust. It’s right that you go bust. Speak to the people who can give you money to stop that happening. Even I’ve worked that out.

I for one am delighted the prime minister of this country has clarified he does not support widespread corporate fraud.

Nothing but time for the old Maine Road faithful who stayed loyal when they were a laughing stock. None of this is on them. It’s the corporate entity which should be shunned.

City fans got the high. No one can take that back. The actual trophies and titles never mean more than the final whistle feeling.

Not into Henry Winter’s suggestion that the Lpool players don’t shake hands next week but I’d be fine with the match day programme and scoreboard calling it Liverpool v Opponents

Same goes for the Chelsea years of cheating under Abramovich, which Chelsea are very lucky to get away with a light touch penalty because the new owners brought it up (which they legally were required to do). Taken together about 20 years+ of cheating under league’s nose. 13 PL titles between them

Looking at details in Man City verdict, other cases and leaked emails, it’s astonishing how brazen and straightforward this scheme was without anyone at the PL noticing. It took a computer hack and then leaks to bring it out into open. The oversight clearly couldn’t discover such an obvious scheme.

Favourite Facebook post today. An advertised Kray twins news service where the comments ask what Ronnie would think about East End immigration. That’s where I go for my political touchstone. The torturer Ronnie Kray.

Far from me to defend the UK media, but the UK’s libel laws are grossly unfair and they probably feared City’s bottomless pockets for lawfare.

Or the fall out caused. Following the leak of the original documents it was “known” by all but never mentioned on any match coverage on tv with conviction. Silence is complicit

Most of my anger at City stems from them trivialising the game. Moneyed twats stepping in to fuck everything up. They won’t give a shit about their fans.

Manchester City v Bury F.C. will be fun at least. 55,000 people in the UniBond divisions. Pints in the open, standing terraces, fried onions, cigar smoke and horse shit. Sheep skin jackets and denim. Get that on your fire stick.

Wow. Guilty as charged. I never thought I’d see it. But it *almost* doesn’t matter. Strip them of titles? They still got to enjoy them. Hand them to Liverpool and whoever else finished second? So what. Nothing to celebrate there. Congratulations, everyone. We’ve been forking out to watch a sham.
