Loving Africa Chaps posted:There's already been talk of deductions being changed to a fine, I'm sure this is in advance of them not punishing city. I think it's a bit funny how both Arsenal and Liverpool fans are already anticipating their crosstown rivals throwing their matches. For example, I'm pretty sure Everton are going to rollover and let you score 5+ goals on the last day. It'll be the kind of thing I would otherwise find hilarious if I wasn't a Liverpool fan.

Does that mean the table on match week 1 could say -2? Lots of software upgrades required over the summer.

Lots of software upgrades required over the summer. there's precedent for this! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008%E2%80%9309_Luton_Town_F.C._season quote:The 2008–09 season was the 123rd season in the history of Luton Town Football Club. The team's 24th-place finish in League One in 2007–08 meant the club competed in League Two. The club was docked 30 points at the start of the season; 10 by The Football Association for irregular matters involving player transfers, and 20 by the Football League for breaking rules on exiting administration. As a result, the club finished bottom of the league and were relegated to the Conference Premier. The season was not, however, without success – Luton beat Scunthorpe United 3–2 at Wembley to win the Football League Trophy for the first time.

So getting promoted on the back of a load of players you can't afford/didn't pay for and then trousering the Premier League riches (well apparently they've already wasted all that but, lol) is being deterred by a whopping 2 point deduction. Somebody make this make sense.

"We find Man City guilty but as their crimes are a lower proportion of Saudi Arabia's net wealth than Sheffield United's were of the club's then they deserve a lower punishment, they will be deducted one point". Author's note : This will be after City win the league by 2.

Idgaf about either Bournemouth or man utd, but God those two penalty decisions yesterday really annoyed me. Utd penalty : freak deflection onto the top of Bournemouth players arm, absolutely unintentional = instant pen, no review needed. Bournemouth non penalty : obvious foul, right on the edge, refs decision in no way a clear or obvious error = several minutes of pedantic analysis, ref decision overruled. I don't care about whether either or both decisions complied with the letter of the law or whatever, they're both just bullshit on a 'Spirit of the Game' level.

I didn't see the Bournemouth match, but another nonsensical VAR decision yesterday was ruling out Brentford's second goal because two players collided with each other away from the ball while neither one was affecting play in any way

fa cup final is last game of the season this is sacrosanct. Edit: Also, does that rule mean the teams that play in the final have to play on Saturday and then Sunday for the final league game, or will they reschedule those games for the week after or something, cos that will ruin the final day fireworks.

But if there's one part of the deal I wouldn't be surprised to see them walk back, it's moving the FA Cup final, because holding it before the end of the league is some bullshit
