Congratulations 🙏🏽 @B_Fernandes8
The first United player to win the PFA POTY in over 15 years...
Despite the critics rightfully earning recognition of peers and rivals
A testament of hard work and effort
Hopefully we won't wait another 15 years for a next Mens United PFA
Ronaldo has done a LOT for Portugese football
But NOT controversial to say the TEAM does not need this
Hard to focus on the pros to his inclusion when there is this constant distraction...
And to those doubting the article just look for the video of his reaction after the game
🚨🚨 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Cristiano Ronaldo is NOT HAPPY with how his situation was handled by Portugal coach Jorge Jesús and the Portuguese FA.
Ronaldo and Jorge Jesús had AGREED before the international break that he would play in BOTH home matches.
The coach later decided he also wanted Ronaldo involved against Norway, and they agreed Cristiano would come on in the 2nd HALF... But it NEVER happened.
In the end, Cristiano Ronaldo did NOT play vs. Norway as "the match was dictating other ideas"
Ronaldo did NOT like how the situation was handled and now wants a FACE-TO-FACE meeting with Jorge Jesus and the Portuguese FA to clarify everything and make sure he is still fully being COUNTED ON.

Funny how the narrative is now shifting from "whether or not we're innocent" to "we had no choice BUT to cheat"
So no longer a question of guilt but circumstance
Is the system imperfect most definitely
Does that excuse or justify circumventing it illegally
Most definitely not
This is what I wanted to know
The number of charges isnt necessarily the scale of the charges
But that 900m misrepresentation of costs is sizeable even if its over a period
The scale of the punishment is what we have to await to see now

💣💣🚨🚨 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Manchester City are in SERIOUS trouble as the Premier League CONFIRM that Manchester City have been found GUILTY of serious breaches of its financial rules over a NINE-SEASON period.
The independent Commission found that Manchester City:
• Arranged “SHAM” contracts with several commercial partners.
• Artificially INFLATED revenues and reduced costs by more than £900 MILLION.
• Filed MISSTATED accounts and concealed the true state of the club’s finances from auditors and football regulators.
• Significantly breached BOTH Premier League and UEFA spending limits.
• Made “concerted efforts to STOP and FRUSTRATE” the Premier League’s investigation.
Premier League CEO Richard Masters:
“This disciplinary case, and this decision, are the MOST SIGNIFICANT in Premier League history.”
Manchester City’s PUNISHMENT will now be decided at a separate hearing.
Manchester City have the right to APPEAL and have until Friday, October 2 to do so.
Description to the scale and breakdown
You tell me if you think what City has achieved over the years would have been possible if not for the inflation
They certainly didn't seem to think so, hence the decision to commit the fraud in the first place

Man City’s Disguised Funding Scheme:
Sponsorship Fees:
Season - Total (Actually Paid)
2009/10 - £27.0m (£4.5m)
2010/11 - £41.25m (£12.75m)
2011/12 - £86.75m (£16.0m)
2012/13 - £121.75m (£16.0m)
2013/14 - £127.5m (£16.0m)
2014/15 - £123.2m (£16.0m)
2015/16 - £136.17 (£16.0m)
2016/17 - £140.59 (£11.0m)
2017/18 - £145.73m (£11.0m)
Total - £949.94m (£119.25m)
So sponsors were only liable for the £119.25m total figure, with the £830.69m additional shareholder funding disguised as ‘commercial partner revenue’.

Irrefutable evidence? Just shut the fuck up lads, if we had irrefutable evidence why the fuck have we not shown it up until this point.

New players 🤝 underperformance
In the Premier League this season, the teams who have more new players have started off worse than the teams who have favoured continuity.

Where Premier League teams or their opponents control possession 🔎
Tottenham exert greater control across most of the pitch, dominating territory in a similar fashion to teams such as Arsenal and Manchester City.

Portugal started strongly but then completely fell off
Jorge Jesus is playing a less structured, more fluid style imo
Plenty rotations feels like he's giving them more space to run at the opposition than the pass focussed approach of Martinez
The defence feels VERY open though
Spain continue to be one of the most complete teams in world football
High press was absolutely suffocating England
Multiple chances came from forced turnovers
But the 3rd goal was a masterclass in manipulating the opponent from back to front
Blend of technique and physicality
Baits them forward creates space between the line
Forwards find space, defenders find the pass
Felt like England could have done with Mainoo's presence in early build up to help with the high press
Bellingham needs to get more involved in build up imo

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City found guilty on virtually all charges relating to breaches of Premier League financial regulations. #MCFC expected to appeal against verdict issued by independent commission. Sanctions undecided, process ongoing @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7049721…
FUL v MUN
Fulham ARE better than the league table suggests
They hold into the ball well and have a good balance to the side
King capable of the unexpected their backline very physical and robust
Castagne and Robinson hold width well which has been a problem for us so far
We also mark in front of the players a lot not goal side
Not a terrible idea because it priorities positioning over pnp
Requires even more focus to be aware of what's going on behind you
If it works we have a good no of interceptions but when it doesn't makes losing men easier
