Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

I hate all this **** but just an observation that the posters who's clubs are in trouble for breaking the rules seem to be the most vocal on this subject.

Just saying.

 

No Flossy.

That's exactly why there are 115 charges against City.

You’re not really in a position to be levelling accusations at just the Top 4/5 as lesser clubs like yours are guilty of breaking financial rules too.

And in fact out of the Top 5 this season. It’s only Man City who are accused of breaking financial rules.

Just to clear that up for you

 

Personally i think any non prem team fans should stfu

 

My fred, my... Oh wait hang on

 

Rules exist in football to try and make it competitive... That's a good one - I agree, that rules should be in place to do that, but currently, they don't have that aim or outcome.

The thing City are challenging is the tightening of related party sponsorship rules that were brought in to stifle Newcastle. Their charge sheet still stands. PSR etc and the 115 charges are not related to the AP clamp down, as it happened after all those events.

 

Only because you constantly talk about earning success "on the pitch" but support the only PL club who's place in the division wasn't earned in that way.

I've no idea what cuck even means tbh. I'm not arsed about City in the slightest though.

 

It was over a century ago mate. I think Arsenal have proved since then that they’ve earned their success on the pitch

 

So when do City, Chelsea etc get to claim that then?
Whats the Pinkie statute of limitations on corruption?

 

Not saying it wasn’t corrupt at the time. I’m saying that given that it was over a century ago, Arsenal have long since proved their success on the pitch.

You chavs we’re just a yo yo club like City before the sugar daddies bought your pots mate

 

Y'all werent even a football league club before you bribed your way in.
And Abramovich was over 20 years ago, so I ask again, whats the statute of limitations on it?

 

The thing that worries me the most right now is nothing to do with FFP I'm just worried that if we have a good start we'll be referred to as the Slot Machine.

Everyone has different worries though I suppose.

 

But you didn't initially did you? You're the only premier league club who didn't win promotion via their results on the pitch. Your place was gained by your financial clout rather than your on pitch success which means you had a huge unfair advantage. This is absolutely fact mate and not up for debate.

Which is the point. You constantly argue that City's success is meaningless due to it all being caused by questionable funding - which is more than a reasonable point for what it's worth imo.

But isn't Arsenal exactly the same? Without buying your way to the top division you wouldn't have been in a position to win the league titles you did which increased your stature.

What's the difference exactly?

 

Hear that. I'm worried that we might be quite decent next season and we won't get relegated.

 

You have PL experience I don't see you getting relegated. Sorry.

 

Stfu luv. I want more than a kiss if you're carrying on with that attitude.

Agreed mate. Glad you agree that it's essentially the same outside of the time scales.

So all City trophies post 2008 are tainted and all Arsenal ones lost 1920.

Glad we came to agreement bru.
