Seats smashed up by Chelsea fans in the Liverpool away end at Wolves Saturday… please log in to view this image
Always been **** fans, tbf. You'd think they'd be the last people to destroy a stadium. Dont forget to stay silent and show your respect for Hillsboro in April, though.
City Statement Manchester City FC is surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules, particularly given the extensive engagement and vast amount of detailed materials that the EPL has been provided with. The Club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent Commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position. As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all.
There will be Liverpool fans up and down Merseyside... and Putney getting legal advice as we speak about back-dated points deductions for City thereby handing Liverpool FC another 6 or 7 league titles - only this time with a double ** I guarantee this is what scousers will be crying about for the full period this goes on for. It'll be desperately embarrassing for all concerned.
I was just thinking either way it's good for us..if they get relegated it's the main obstacle out of the way..if it's just a fine it's the green light for us to spend what we want and blow everyone else out of the water.
It's a different set of allegations this time. 100+ instances of witholding information and general obstruction of an investigation into their sponsorship and 3rd party payment mechanisms. So if you learn from that and are better at setting up your pyramid payment structures you should be fine. City too would've been absolutely fine if this was just about breaking FFP as they're allowed to get away with that.
Bit of a difference - Abu Dhabi isn't even the main Emirate and is **** all in the grand scheme of things over there - Every Middle Eastern company in Saudi wants good will links there
I think they will be, but it will come down to the PL dropping their arse rather than City being innocent.
Has something changed to give the Newcastle lads courage to come back on here? I hadn't seen them for a while
Aye, we kind of have a little confidence if we come on here now we won't have to go missing every 12 months or so on the Championship thread EDIT: And in some cases the League 1 thread
I'm here win, lose or draw. I've been here for years. You're sound, you have been showing your face. I'm talking about the ones who only show up when you win or something like this happens.
Sanction them, I say Executions of prisoners have been carried out in Saudi Arabia with no advance warning to their families, relatives have told the BBC. The country's execution rate has almost doubled since 2015 - according to a new human rights report - the year when King Salman and his son Mohammed bin Salman took charge. Mustafa al-Khayyat's family were given no notice that he was about to be killed. They still have no body to bury. No grave to visit. The last they heard from him was a phone call from prison, and he signed off with these words to his mother: "Alright, I have to go. I'm glad you're OK." Neither had any inkling that it would be the last time they spoke. A month later, Mustafa was dead - one of 81 men killed on 12 March 2022, in the largest mass execution in modern Saudi history. Mustafa's name is on a long and growing list put together by the campaign group Reprieve - which, along with the European Saudi Organisation for Human Rights, has been meticulously documenting Saudi executions for a new report. Based on data collected since 2010, their study has found that: Saudi Arabia's execution rate has almost doubled since King Salman took the reins in 2015, appointing his son Mohammed bin Salman to key positions The death penalty has been routinely used to silence dissidents and protesters, contravening international human rights law, which states it should only be used for the most serious crimes At least 11 people initially detained when they were children have been executed since 2015, despite Saudi Arabia's repeated claims that it is curtailing the use of the death penalty against minors Torture is "endemic" in Saudi prisons, even for child defendants Reprieve documented 147 executions in Saudi Arabia last year, but says there could well have been more. It also says the country has "disproportionately" used the death penalty against foreign nationals - including female domestic workers and low-level drug offenders. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-64338876.amp
