Of course Man City have appealed. As Carragher said, Man City owners didn’t buy them to make money. Its sports washing so they’ll fight this to death no matter the cost because the only thing that actually matters to them is their reputation - not the club, not the fans, not the PL or even football.

I think I’ve got this right. Man City are not state owned or state funded, except they are state funded through sponsorship, but also are not state funded. The state has no involvement in Man City, while simultaneously being involved in Man City. Seems clear

I’ve knowingly watched Sorba Thomas play twice. He’ll use his pace to beat a man, make a relatively quick decision, and somehow it’ll be the dirt worst option he could have possibly selected. The man is a true artist. I won’t hear a word said against him.

Worst thing about the Tzolis injury on top of the Havertz one is we’ll likely end up using Gyokeres and Madueke simultaneously in the front 3 at some point. Most likely at Forest away, where it was absolutely maddening last season. Big October needed from Merino, Eze and the gaffer.

Few things in the same realm of soul-destroying as tailoring a CV for a role, then realising the organisation have one of them daft little forms on their site where you have to paste everything in, AND need to list the addresses of your previous employers.

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.

Manchester City signed Samir Nasri later that summer. Marseille, Chelsea, Man City. All in one man's career. It's no wonder he was bold enough to challenge it as it happened - must have been absolutely sick of being cheated.

Other people have already made this point but it's a good one. If City are deducted so many points that they are effectively relegated, they'll just rest their players for the cups and Champions League and be fresh for those, PSG style. This whole season is a mess of their doing.

Quite like how this City story has dropped during the interlull to give me something I can get emotionally invested in as a distraction until proper football comes back Could do with someone getting popped for something in each interlull moving forward. Referees, inhalers, Chelsea again, whatever.

Once City are gone, whoever wins the league this season has the chance to establish a domestic dynasty. Act decisively and end up as 1993 Man United. Stand still to become 1993-97 Leeds. Appoint an idiot, sign clowns, and become Liverpool under Souness. Spurs will still be Spurs regardless.

Personally, I held onto this for 7+ years because, as noted above, it wasn't fucking worth the potential risk to his visa status just to add to the pile of WWE ratfucking stories. But now that he's gone and WWE is trying to exploit his death just to ratfuck AEW? Everyone needs to know what happened.

It needs to be noted as well that this BADLY rattled PAC and made him extremely paranoid about the future of his American work visa status. When he canceled on the Wrestlecon shows in 2019, it was a different visa than his WWE visa and that scared him to the point he backed out of the bookings.

The specifics of whether or not PAC actually violated the terms of his work visa are way above my pay grade, but regardless, WWE didn't say a word to USCIS for over a year. It only became a problem that they felt inclined to rat him out for when they realized a new moneyed startup was launching.

This is well-known throughout the wrestling business and among wrestling media. It was never reported because it's such a sensitive issue that everyone kind of quietly agrees not to report on that kind of visa stuff without the talent's permission. But with PAC passing away, that part is moot.

Since WWE's trying to exploit PAC's death, it's time to talk about this: Remember how PAC suddenly had visa issues when AEW started? That's because, when the AEW trademarks were filed, WWE called USCIS to claim he walked out on his visa. After leaving him alone for a year and giving him his release.

National media stories about wrestling are always borderline cringe-worthy, regardless of the topic and approach, and are usually tough to make it through bc they always have to write them at a very street-level, almost condescending, manner. But this is so well written and respectful.

It's ridiculous to say "it's in the news, it's in the charts, it's on playlists". It's perfectly possible to be very into music without following any of those things. I never listen to the generated playlists. I pick things to listen to, or I listen to 6 Music, which doesn't play much chart stuff.

Not an i think you should leave skit:
“Do you want to hear the song I wrote for you with an AI voiceover,” Flynn also wrote. “I have this software called ElevenLabs where I loaded the song on piano and sent it with my computer microphone to which I can pick an AI voice to sing it better.”
“I don’t know if I’m ready to listen to this yet. I’m sorry,” she responded. “Send me the song and I’ll save it to my phone and I’ll listen when I’m ready, even if it’s a month from now. I don’t want it to be erased.”
“Are you sure? It messed up the outro as it’s supposed to be done and the vocals aren’t exactly how I want it, it was a little rock-ier at times but the melody is correct. I tried to sing it with passion and AI took it and went a little extreme.”
“It’s OK,” she said.
