The on topic thread

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.

You're not criticising us for FFP.

You're criticising us for rule 14(d). You inferred we were doping, you inferred we were cheating. Bournemouth have been charged with exactly the same offence.

Not a peep from you. So hypocritical and just shows your morals depend on which club is involved.

According to your logic getting caught doing 200mph on the M6 is no different to being caught doing 90mph. Guess which offense is going to be reported on the news. Obviously you are still learning the concept of scale. While ignoring the fact that PSG have been criticised heavily for their cheating of FFP regulations which were on a similar scale to City.

The two clubs have been charged with exactly the same offence. How does scale come into it?

Havent you guys already done this one to death?

Yep I'm done with it.

 

[chef]

Yay.

 

[moomba]

FFP has been done to death. Not sure what it has to do with us, Bournemouth and rule 14(d) to be honest.

There's no point hang a discussion with someone who always responds with "but what about club x who are also guilty" etc etc.

I get that enough when I tell off my 7 year old son who's first response is usually "but dad this kid did the same thing" etc etc.

Not once have I said we shouldnt be found guilty or punished.

Just find the hypocrisy from the likes of you funny. Shows me that your moral compass varies depending on the colour of shirt standing in front of you.

And if I was your 7 year old and you punished me and patted my brother or sister on the head for the same thing I'd think you're being a twat too.

Didn't realise PSG had the same shirt colour as Man City. Must be going colour blind.

Well you're a hypocrite on this. Happy to mock myself and others for raising problems with Roman... yet lay the boots into City at any opportunity.
Is it ok to have an owner from the Russian mafia but perfectly acceptable to criticise City for every little transgression. Real or perceived.
Can't pick and choose.

It's more so the laying into chef who copped it as if he was Roman Abramovich. But yes there is a big problem with the way Roman accrued his wealth. That's for another discussion.

PSG hasnt breached rule 14(d) as far as I'm aware. Just us, Fleetwood and Bournemouth in recent times. Maybe we'll see more in the coming months.

Why do you keep bringing up PSG? They have nothing to do with anything.

Because they are/were FFP cheats on a large scale and have been detrimental to Ligue 1 IMO.

What does that have to do with rule 14(d)?

I don't see the anti-doping offences as cheating.

FFP cheating in the case of PSG & City was pretty blatant.

 

[glenferry23]

Yep I'm done with it.

That lasted about 20 minutes....

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.

I actually thought Moh was okay, speaks well. But too much time was spent on the 'idiot' comment, there was plenty of other material that should've been raised/discussed.

Agree DT was the most interesting. He made his point extremely well. £70k he's spent following the club home and away, comparable to a week's wage for Debuchy who has played 15 minutes for Arsenal in the last 2 years.

 

[Magma]

my jaw kinda dropped at the 70k comment. thats a lot to shell out to get ****ed

 

[moomba]

What time period is he talking? Surely he's not spending that in one season.

 

[PendlePie]

£70k in his 31 years as a fan/season ticket holder

 

[Sozabarus]

It's 70k since they last won the league I think he said.

How many days since they last finished on the table ahead of Arsenal?

Well I wouldn't have known it was since 2008 without this. Thanks Twitter
