Are some of you lot dense? How is it difficult to understand?
In case you really don't know, a Google search of "Partey texts" might help
Right, this is the first I've seen of this, appears it wasn't covered by mainstream media. I don't think you can call a person 'dense' just for not accessing the same information channels you do at the time you did.

It's not actually all that surprising. West Ham letting Zouma continue to play despite what he did and fans make a joke of it. Do you believe a person would be cruel to an animal and not to a person when they can get away with it? It set a precedent in my view, and this is the inevitable consequence. Things will probably continue to go in this direction to, footballers will be untouchable.

Glad we've largely taken Greenwood out of things until there's a court decision.

That chance is a lot harder than it looks, ball coming fast, acute angle on weaker foot. Can't believe commentator is stating he should have scored. How many goals did he score in his career? Jesus has been great.

There are around 10 clubs this year who all look as poor as each other and capable of going down.

It's going to be a nail biter of a season for a lot of clubs.

I think the only places that are "Assured" are City in first and Bournemouth in last.

Apparently Haaland only completed two passes today against Bournemouth. One was an assist though.

It actually makes me a little proud of our club. We seem to be the only one with a moral compass. Nobody else seems to give a shit.
There was a lot of talk on Twitter last week when he started. Palace fans also booed him every time he touched the ball. MSM can't talk about it. Doesn't seem to be much talk today, but it might be because the game isn't on tv in the UK.

No chance City would've sold to us
City would never sell to us. And he has no affiliation to the Eredivisie bite
I doubt City would have sold him to Utd. They did it for Arsenal because they don't matter to their eyes
I mean the main reason is Jesus wanted to work with Arteta again and he also said Edu formed a good connection through Brazilian links, coupled with our Brazilian players.

So, not that straightforward.
Because city wouldn’t sell to us?
When City was shit and we were at our peak, I remember we sold our players to them. I don't think we even tried. Say if we offer him a higher salary package which we are notorious for, there is no way Arsenal can compete with us for that. Frankly, if Arsenal is irrelevant to City, we should be too. We haven't won the league since 2013 and never look like challenging for the past 9 years. Money talks. I doubt City will refuse to deal with us if we offer more than Arsenal.

Who did we sell to City?

I think the top 6 of City, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea, United and Arsenal will be fairly certain. Yes I know it’s doom and gloom about United currently but the other clubs just aren’t good enough or there yet. Newcastle, Brighton and West Ham have enough about them, perhaps Wolves or Palace too. That leaves the other 9 or 10 in a position of they could be 11th or they could be relegated. Fine margins and the transfer window/WC could seal some clubs fates.

That’s good. Along with West Ham, those will be the teams battling it out with us for 6th. Or am I being optimistic about us being in that battle?
Unless we have another tragically bad season we should not be involved in that...

I see where you coming from, but in my opinion there's very little common ground between Zouma's actions and what we're talking about here
