It's the same rule for all. The clubs voted to bring it in to help them from themselves, clubs were going to the wall.

Smaller clubs might not ever enjoy getting any silverware, survival alone and fans being able to go and watch a 3pm KO on a Saturday, celebrating and having a whinge and a moan along the way, would be considered a success. Look at Bolton now...

Rules are rules, City gave a big fk you to UEFA and now face the heat. As I say be interested to see how this pans out.

Tbf, it wasn’t a unanimous vote. Unsurprisingly the top teams like Utd, Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool and surpringly Chelsea voted for it. Plenty of smaller teams, like City, voted against.
A bit like the Brexit vote, the results been a cluster fk disaster.

I suppose at least if Spurs voted for it they were being altruistic. They never spend big money on anyone and almost always make a profit.

Chelsea voted for because they planned to complete their financial doping before FFP came into force, and did

Well the quintuple's definitely on, if you include the charity shield...


We are City and we score when we want.


That'll shut the reds up with their measly triple.

That first 24 seconds were a struggle tbh

I'm not sure about knackered. They just didn't look up for it.

PEP looks rattled, even when you were 1 0 up

Your defence is not great, teams always get chances to score, all that is happening lately is a few more of them are taking them.

You will drop another 5/6+ points this season

No one expected that.

98 points maximum you can get
I expect you to get 92

The other 89 mins and 36 seconds were a breeze fortunately

I'm not in any way anti-Manchester City - some of their football in recent seasons has been absolutely top drawer - but when they're pushed and the pressure's on I'm not convinced how well they deal with it. Given how good they are they haven't been put under real pressure too often but when they have it's tended to not end well.

In contrast, when I think back to Liverpool in their hey-day (I'm not a Liverpool fan btw!) it was almost unheard of for them to throw points away like City did last night at Newcastle; they may not always have played their best - no team can do that all the time - but invariably they found a way to win even when by their standards they weren't playing very well. Just not sure City have quite the same resilience and ability to grind out a result.....

Your squad is miles better than Liverpool's, yet they are going to stroll the league on current form!

now that's annoying.
