The on topic thread

And what does that have to do with Bournemouth & Man City exactly?

You're probably not aware that Bournemouth were penalised for breach of FFP last year.

But quite telling that you were outraged at the charge against us. But not a peep when they get charged with the same offence.

And then try and pretend that we have have some sort of abnormal history of cheating. Learn your own clubs history.

Good example of people repeating a myth so often that people end up believing it.

Come on Moomba it's called a joke. You've actually got a decent wit and sarcasm, but seem to have a total sense of humour failure when it comes to City. I'm just saying - don't mean it as a personal attack

Some people find David Brent funny. They find it funny day in, day out. They find his jokes just as funny 5/6/7 years down the track as they did the day he started.

I've never seen the point in him.

I have a huge amount of respect for Alty fans at the moment. Relegated last season, probably relegated this season. They get around 800 to games at the moment.

So why would I give a shit if anyone thinks we've got no fans?

David Brent was funny - until I watched that abomination of a film last year. Ricky Gervais is clearly no longer funny.

No one thinks City have "no fans". The joke is that in five years yo have gone from being a club with just a regional fan base to one with a burgeoning global one. I get your point, it's something to beat you with a stick, but I wouldn't get upset about it. Every club has something that other fans can take the piss out of

I'm not upset by it. I'm bemused that anyone cares.

If I thought it was important to support a club with the biggest fanbase I would never have started with City in the first place. You would never have started with Spurs.

Struggling to think of one thing Ricky Gervais has done that has raised a laugh tbh.

Watched night at the museum the other night with the kids. Thought he looked a twat in that.

The original office I thought was gold. One of the best things I've ever seen on TV. Extras was ok as well, although not as good. Everything else I've seen him in since has ranged from average to crud including that Karl Pilkington thing.

The only reason I would care about the size of our fanbase would be because of an indicator to how successful (or unsuccessful) we were! Oh and it's always nice to have some online buddies to discuss the club with! I dont know, but when I read of someone who is a fellow Spurs fan I feel an instant bond with them. I suspect others feel the same

 

[WealstoneRaider]

I've watched this. Wasted opportunity I reckon. The Gman bossed it and it shows you the difference between professional pundits and amateurs.

Blud/Fam tally:
0, 0

Disappointed with Troopz

Bournemouth didn't get fined £49m pounds for blatant cheating. Your argument is ridiculous and is akin to someone who's caught speeding 100mph above the speed limit not getting the same punishment as someone caught doing 5mph over the speed limit.

And yes your club was guilty of cheating just a couple of years ago on a large scale so don't get upset when more attention is given to City being penalised vs other clubs. Undoubtedly you'll try and turn it into a Liverpool thing but the reality is there's been as much if not more criticism of PSG being caught cheating the rules.


Getting ridiculous these days when a criticism of another poster's club is turned into a club vs club fight.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Not this shit again.

 

[chef]

Not this shit again.

Yep. Flogging that dead horse again.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Extras was far better than the office imo. The scene with Samuel L Jackson still makes me laugh haha. episodes with Orlando Bloom, The eastenders wannabe tough guy and Daniel Radcliffe are also tv gold

 

[Magma]

never watched extras, but i adore the office. and gervais' stand up.

 

[Flameboy]

Neville 1 Fans 0.

Claude didn't say much, Troopz a bit the same. Moh came across as the biggest try-hard, he was genuinely cringe.

DT was probably the only one who made some salient points and was actually interesting to listen to.

 

[Cruyff14]

I wonder who moomba would choose between Gervais or Phil Collins?

 

[Magma]

whoa why is there a floating head next to moh!?

 

[FAITH]

Millions of viewers really watch them?
That shocks me, they are clueless.

Millions watch them melt that's the only reason I'm assuming

Yeah without the melts they wouldn't be getting half of those 10-12 million views per month Robbie was talking about.

The world knows them for their reaction to defeats. Don't think they'd get half the numbers of views when they win

 

[Magma]

i stopped at moh cos he's easily the worst of them. i thought dt was well spoken and stood up for himself well. i'll watch the rest of it when i can be arsed, but moh comes across as such a little arse licker.

i mean, gnev clearly explains what he meant by calling the guy an idiot.

'oh erm excuse me gary, can you explain why you called the man an idiot?'

**** youuuuuuu

Dwight Yorke denied entry to the US on his way home to the carribean because his passport had an Iranian stamp on it from a legends game he played in 2015.


Well done Trump you idiot.

No. My argument is that us and Bournemouth have been charged with exactly the same thing. You were highly critical of us, but don't seem to think Bournemouth deserve the same.

And yes your club was guilty of cheating just a couple of years ago on a large scale so don't get upset when more attention is given to City being penalised vs other clubs.

Bournemouth was found guilty last year of a FFP breach. Liverpool failed FFP the season we did and were put on special monitoring by UEFA.

 

[Sozabarus]

The Office is the best sitcom ever and that Moh fella from Arsenalfantv is like a real life version of Gareth.

Not this shit again. Bournemouth were fones 7m pounds - not 49m pound like City. And criticism of PSG has been just as strong as criticism of City for cheating the rules.

Not sure why you even mention Liverpool who were not found guilty of breaching FFP rules. Irrelevant to the discussion but you tend to find a way to involve LFC for obvious reasons.
