Rival Watch Thread Watch

#meltdown

You know why its getting quieter? Look at your league position.

 

City do really look in trouble tho. not a huge leap to say they could drop another 7 from the remaining games unless Pellegrini can sort out his problems in defence and midfield.

That being said it would not take a miracle for them to win all of their remaining games too.

Either way I can't see us do any better than 5 1 1 out of the last 7

 

511 for you would leave them needing 9 points

 

When I talk about getting that fourth spot I usually include the word miracle in the same sentence

 

Pellegrini looked visibly aged after that game at OT. He looked frazzled.

 

Whatever happens he's ****ed

They need to rebuild, but they'll have to do so while operating within the confines of FFP, which will be interesting to watch......

 

**** off.

We've been lower than we are now during and at the end of seasons and had more posters on this board.
Football is what it is and part of it is gloating the opposition and rivals which is fairy snuff but don't pretend you don't wum on most threads.
Good Tory's like yourself should be out canvassing for the election in may instead of camping out on our board because your part time club has reached the heady heights of 3rd in the league.

 

There is nothing stopping City entering sponsorship deals. They do not have to be big ones either. UEFA can only look at value for money of deals to assess if the sponsor is grossly overpaying for the advertising. There is not a lot anyone can do if they sign multiple value for money deals with sponsors as far as I understand it anyways.

 

You can't sign massive deals with companies owned by the same parent company, without incurring scrutiny, as they've already found out with the Etihad deal.

 

It is not over yet. If United lose a few of their hard matches we are back in it. We need to only lose or draw only one match. At most 2 draws.

 

Like Page says we have been worse than this yet still had a busy board

Our league position could actually be a lot worse with how bad we have been on the pitch at times

Most on here know that we've been poor and it does your head in as your 'wumming' then doesnt work as thats all you have, no plan b

 

Scrutiny and that's about it over the Etihad deal? UEFA I assume thought it was not value for money for the sponsor, I don't think they can do anything about it being a company owned by the same parent company can they?

Like I said, a couple of of 25 30 mil a year value for money deals, given the exposure of the PL doesn't seem impossible. Once the deal can be deemed value for money for the sponsor there is nothing UEFA can do unless they had specific proof the deal was dodgy.

 

Its harder to take because many of you expected you to cruise to top 4 at worst and United to finish 7th. Previous poor seasons were expected because everyone knew Liverpool were rubbish.

You may all know you are rubbish now but many of you were giving it large as recent as a month ago so give up moaning.

 

The **** is that?

 

Uefa didnt think it was a legitimate deal. They fined and reduced their squad size which despite claims from some, massively hampered them.

City responded by spending more than they were allowed to spend, making a new, even bigger, even more dodgy deal for the ground and surround complex and basically trying to call Uefas bluff.

Lucky for City, the rate they are going, Uefa wont neee to ban them.

 

Get your head out of your jacksey UIR.

Its not like you've won anything, Utd have taken advantage of a poor season by other clubs that have played many more games

Southampton deserve more credit than Utd this season but that's not reflected by the media.

With such quality repartee as this, who needs wit?

 

He eats far to many black puddings.
