Pep does not know the name or nationality of the chairman of the club that employs him, only the nationality of the club owners. Who knows who Daniel Levy is ... ??
Strange? City may be going to the wall with all this naughty money/player business while Pep might benefit by winning "top coach" award One could say cheats don't prosper,but then again!
Because we are literally the only club in the league trying to catch the doped clubs by fighting fair and square. And yes, I am fully aware that whenever a billionaire is in the picture, the frame is never perfectly square, but there is a world of difference between raising revenue through increased ticket sales, commercial deals and entertainment, and doing so by fabricating shell companies out of thin air that are thinly veiled sporting arms of national governments. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Levy is involved in this legal battle in a very strong and indeed very personal way. Because for all his faults and mistakes, it would hurt me like hell if a carefully laid plan dating back to 2002 and spanning over two decades was rendered irrelevant overnight because a bunch of bored oil magnates decided to make a country the official sponsor of previously irrelevant clubs. It angers me enough as a fan and I haven't invested much if any time or money into the plan. If I was Levy, I would be seething and would jump at the chance to drag them through the courts, even if the ultimate verdict is innocent and/or the presiding board is too cowardly to say guilty.
Considering his demeanour during the entire press conference was identical to a stroppy teenager harrumphing that the girl they fancy thinks they're a creepy weirdo whose palms are far too hairy for somebody that age which obviously means she's a lesbian, the safest assumption was he was unintentionally revealing just how much Levy pissed him off by habitually undermining him with his "**** you, pay me" stance whenever he tries tapping up our players - and then bilking them out of some Porro money on top
Think Chelsea were a bit unlucky with the Soucek handball toward the end, as it looked a clear penalty to me. But in general play, after a bright start, they tailed off and didn’t really trouble West Ham enough. Seeing Chelsea fans crying about the Premier League being corrupt post-match is super ironic, though. All that money spent and still couldn’t pay the officials properly…
I was going through it frame by frame and I can't tell if it hits his knee or his hand: https://streamin.me/v/5d988064 I think it's the hand, but I can't be sure. I'd love to see another angle or a better quality clip.
Southampton lead 1-0 after 24 minutes, then Wolves got a red on 27. They're now losing 2-1, somehow. Jones is gone, surely.
Remember when Ivan Toney got charged with 7m betting offences and was going to be banned? What happened to that?
I bet Arsenal fans are wondering the same thing Arsenal are wobbling. One point from Everton and Brentford
Massive game for the title race on Wednesday - home to City. I'm sure Pep will moan about the extra day rest and he'd be right, for once!
