Not an amazing performance but it’s always a tough ground to go. The fact the last two have been 0-0 says it all. Another match that the lads have gained more points than last season. Bodes well especially with all these away games.
How does Joelinton always get away with those? Guy is a pure thug and actually a shit footballer yet somehow rarely gets a red card
What annoys me though is Doku never got this space before as players didn’t back off from him. He’s obviously good but he’s also a pansy. You’ve got to go and be physical with him.
One of the most pre-eminent sports journalists doesn’t seem to have read the countless emails from CFG making it very clear they knew what they were doing. There’s really no ambiguity and they’ve been found guilty of well over 100(!!) charges by an independent panel
Yes, that is what the commission found out
Not how they see it
Just curious about how the club see themselves, that was the point of the comparison
Interesting how trying to look for another angle brings so much vitriol. No possibility of discussion of any kind which means there is no way back for City in terms of reputation (which is an obvious thing to say)
It will not stop me trying to analyse things from different angles 😉

🚨 #MCFC Former City star says news of the club's sham contracts has made his life HELL.
The 39-year old, who asked not be identified, said, "I played 73 times for City but when I walk down the street people just look at me in disgust. It's tarnished my career." [@dailystar]

OFFICIAL: An independent Commission has found Manchester City FC guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.
The independent Commission found that between Seasons 2009/10 and 2017/18:
- Manchester City arranged ‘sham’ contracts (which misrepresented the true agreement between the parties) with a number of its commercial partners, as well as relying on ‘sham’ agreements with others, to artificially inflate the club’s revenues and reduce its costs
- The club filed misstated accounts and concealed the true state of its finances from its auditors and football regulators
- Manchester City was significantly in breach of both the Premier League’s and UEFA’s spending limits
- During the Premier League’s investigation, Manchester City committed multiple breaches of its duties of co-operation and utmost good faith towards the League (three of the four alleged breaches were upheld)

A historic decision for English football, and one that comes to crown the work I carried out through Football Leaks. Today, we all know that, through structural manipulation and financial manoeuvring, Manchester City did not merely circumvent the rules, they turned them into a mere formality, challenging any attempt to preserve the integrity of the competition. That meticulously orchestrated fraud will finally be subject to punishment, and the impact will not merely be turbulent, but truly devastating for the Cityzens.
Ironically, I cannot help but remember Pep Guardiola's words at his first press conference as City manager: "Fasten your seat belts".
Cheats, pure and simple.
🚨 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…
Konsa and Mosquera have deputised well but Saliba is special in all phases. He’s now able to carry the ball, play line breaking passes, and he’s often the first guy to mop up if our attack fails and recycles. Will be good to have him back.
🚨 William Saliba could return for Arsenal in December if all goes well in his recovery from a back fracture. ❤️🩹🇫🇷 [@FabriceHawkins]

The Key Match Incident panel voted 5-0 that the referee made an error and should NOT have awarded Sunderland a penalty against Arsenal.
But they voted in favour (3-2) of VAR not overturning the decision, deem it "did not meet the threshold for a clear and obvious error."
So, a 5-0 vote that the ref was wrong, yet it wasn't clear and obvious.... 😂
I’d be hypocritical if I coated Havertz off for this. My Q is - genuinely someone tell me how many of these chances Gyokeres has had in the 15 months or whatever he’s been at the club
Look at the chance Gyokeres created for Havertz.
How did l a professional footballer on £300k wage missed this??
If this was Gyokeres it would be trending everywhere.
