It's March 7th. Here's the table: It's an honest to god three horse title race with 11 matches to go. At the bottom of the table, Everton getting four points back gave them a bit of breathing room and made it look a lot more likely that the three promoted clubs all go back down together, but the Premier League's points deduction people are still sniffing around them and Forest which threatens to make the end of the season very interesting. In the midtable, Chelsea lost £90.1m last year to add on to the £121.4m they lost the year before, which calls into question how on earth they're going to fit their way into the Premier League rules that limit financial losses to £105m over any three year period. Oh wait, no it doesn't call that into question, they're going to do another firesale of every homegrown player left at the club and then blow past the limit anyway when Boehly spends another billion dollars on even more new players and managers. In summary,

Luckily everyone at the Emirates is asleep.

As a city fan if we don't win it's a real doozy of a choice between crowing Liverpool fans acting as if their winning amounts to divine anointment of their lord and saviour's final year, and arsenal fans being, well, arsenal fans

I see nobody else has been brave enough to say it so, fine, I will. I don't think Sheffield United are a very good football team.

Just digging down on this point for a second - does anyone here seriously think a club like Chelsea, for example, came into their wealth and spent it more morally or sustainably than City? Does FFP represent some objective and incontrovertible truth, or is it an imperfect collection of rules thrown together by fallible organisations with numerous competing vested interests? More to the point, if City are cleared of the charges, or if we're handed a punishment that doesn't include revocation of all previous titles, would people who talk about the charges accept the result? Or will they continue to use it as a stick to beat us with, like the fact we spent a loving shitload of money to get to where we are is somehow lost on some people?

Like I get hating us for the money and sportswashing, just the judgement of whether we spent that money 'legally' or not seems incredibly arbitrarily defined both within the PL and across world football in general.

No the hate is fine it's just the hate with the additional obseqious appeal to an authority which we all generally acknowledge as corrupt and stupid as hell that confuses me.

Klopp posted:“Phil Foden best English player at this moment and Trent respects that. But, he was born in Liverpool and he has played for all the youth teams - one of our slogans is ‘this means more’ and it means more to us - what happens here means more to us. The “this means more” poo poo is the absolute worst Liverpool fandom related thing and I’m sure Klopp knows its bullshit but he always understood his assignment at Liverpool to be fair to him. that it was an artificial slogan created by an advertising agency and then gulped down by the fans and apparently some of the squad is particularly egregious Butterfly Valley fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Mar 8, 2024 |
