It turns out Manchester City have been cheating financially the system in the Premier League.
Last 9 years at least.
They are so screwed right now.
Huge news.

They’ll get off mate.

The football scene is fixed. That's how it seems to me. This seems big though.

Bigger than Essendon with the drug supplements fiasco. Cheating the system for 9 years.
The investigation took 4 years to complete.

No I mean, surely everyone already knew this was going on? UEFA hit them with a wet lettuce leaf and then botched it probably thanks to some brown envelopes. But pretty much all the EPL teams owned by Oligarchs or Middle Eastern dictatorships are on the same game. Man City were just the most extreme. The ridiculous escalation in transfer payments could only be fuelled by owners flooding their playthings with cash. Fair Play has been a sick joke for a while in the EPL, shit even La Liga has had enough trying to match them.

I agree brother but not looking to flash for them now.
Here's hoping they are made an example of.
The QC has his own panel of 3 to judge these cheats.
Certain clubs lost PL titles and others a chance to play Champions League.
I'll give up watching this sport if they get off with no charges.

I'd enjoy an extra Liverpool title.

And this hurts me, even if it means Man U get an extra 2.

But I fear the EPL will whitewash it because if you go there, then lets take a look at Chelsea....and now Newcastle...just for starters

True mate although Liverpool would get an extra 3 titles.
If Liverpool were Collingwood we would be livid.

Everton are the best Collingwood equivalent. It’s the Irish Catholic team.

Liverpool and Everton from the same area. Liverpool being more protestant although both with Irish heritage.

Liverpool has banned Murdoch newspapers from being sold and say they're not English but Liverpudians.
They hate watching England play in any form of sport.
They despise the government there and also royalty.
I personally love them. Following them for the last 50 years.

I know what I'm talking about.
More reading about what exactly?
Both Merseyside clubs based in Liverpool.
What did I disagree with ?

Surely the days of associating Collingwood with any religious wankfest are done.

Heritage is important. Not so much about the religion itself, but the associated “cultural” (for want of a better word) connections/beginnings of the club.

I see the dicks are out in the other thread that for some obscure reason I can’t post in.
How rude!

The obscure reason would be a thread ban. Pretty significant achievement in the biggest thread in BF history. Well done.

Well I have finally done it!

Sending my 6 bottles of Grange to auction. I will never finish on my own and none of my circle really drink red nor would they appreciate it.

Good-bye 1990, 2003, 1981, 1982, 1983 and 1984.

One of life's great challenges, to always have some good wine in your cellar whilst you're alive and to die with your cellar empty

I am actually thinking of keeping one.

Gee checking out Auction house is fun. One charges 24% premium to the seller and the same to the buyer. Nice earner.

Perhaps you just attended the wrong school. Or live in the wrong place.

Modelled on your own I see. “Too loose” was the giveaway.

Reminds me of my dad. Back in the early 80s, he had a friendly rivalry with a Cats fan. She owned a servo in Little River.

After we beat them, Dad tied a woollen dick warmer (with bell) on one of her petrol pumps in the early hours. The dick warmer was in black and white stripes.

It was the talk of the town.

What is the chance of picking up tickets for Anzac day, as a non-member? Any suggestions on how best to try?
