Still a long way from 4 in a row with United being in tatters.
Premier League Gameweek 37
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Ortega is a fecking quality keeper. Can be a number 1 in many top sides.
Racist hating tw*ts are going to harass Son tonight, might aswell prepare the statements for tomorrow...
Happy for Aston Villa
I'd argue we finished 2nd that year, considering you started the precedent by not even getting your facts rights so I can lie as well
I'd also argue that we belong either in the third division like we were in 1999, or as the best team in England like we were in 1968, since it is reasonable to doom a team to where they were in a randomly picked season. Wonder where United could belong if I randomly pick a season under every manager they have ever had bar two of them
Ederson refusing to even celebrate Ortega's save is hilarious.
Sky and media love in for days. No mention of the 115 charges and the fact that the PL won’t/can’t do anything. Roll out Noel, Dickov, Shaun Goater
f*** them.
Respect to them but their fans? That was embarrassing
Feck them as well
I agree with you the team didn't throw away the match on purpose. If there was also a different scenario in play (ie it's in our hands, Villa have to go away to City last day etc etc) then that would also be different.
It isn't though. Even if we'd won today? Still not even slightly in our hands, a Villa draw would have guaranteed it for them, even if we'd won.
So the likeliest scenario is we hand Arsenal their first title in 2 decades, having gifted them 3 points a few weeks ago. And don't end up in the CL places anyway.
As it is, I can never really bring myself to want the team to lose. Let's just say that unusually though, I wouldn't have been upset at the outcome today either way.
They'd be on +61 just like Arsenal then but if they draw next week and Arsenal win (same amount of points), Arsenal wins it on GD I think.
Yeah it's remarkable, Richards. Yeah it's purely down to the will to do it again. No other reasons, not 115, not even one.
Why do City get all these soft penalties that no one else gets? its ridiculous
Oh yeah. My bad. Was being thick. Never mind.
City are ahead on points, if we both draw they're still ahead and win it anyway. If they draw and we win, it's Arsenal's title on GD
How come the small clubs, Everton and Nottingham Forest, getting punished and the sugar daddy and oil state Chelsea and City get away with cheating.
The EPL is corrupt to the bottom.

Fair, I think Pep is the key, his only competition for being the best manager at winning over 38 games is Sir Alex who probably still has the edge. Think as soon as Pep goes the dominance stops similar to Sir Alex.
Man of the Match for Ortega and making out that Son didn't completely feck that chance up.
These cnuts are shameless.
These cnuts are shameless.
Another season of their fecking champions again ole ole chant. Inbred feckwits
That was definitely a pen tbf.
It’s a stone wall pen, let’s be fair
They provided accurate financial info to start with, and held their hands up when charged. City have done neither of those things, and the PL are having to prove their guilt
LvG had 2 shots on target against NorwichWe had 2 shots on target against arsenal and a minus goal difference is it really much better nowLVG deserved a 5 year contract if ETH gets another go next season
Usually I’d agree but that pen is stone wall. Doku has done him all ends up.
In among the bullshit I'm feeling tonight I can at least offer congrats to Villa and their fans. Remarkable achievement bearing in mind they took were playing in Europe up until this last week.
Still, Arsenal having their best League run in about 20 years and still they will get pipped to the post. That's what they get for relying on Spuds to do them a favour.

Or the alternative is the EPL is not corrupt and you have no clue what you're talking about or the reasons. The reason Evertons went faster than Cities is Everton were charged with 1 breach of FFP and complied with it as did Forest. City are charged with far bigger charges and what people don't seem to understand is the biggest charges against City are not FFP related but cooking the books.
That poster didn't mention FFP though?
Literally
history has been too kind to Van Gaal.There were people sat near me who had season tickets for decades who stopped going during those final few months under Van Gaal.
I'm nearly certain his last team were relegated the season before his transfer to City. Anyone in the PL could have had him if they wanted.
City have not only been the first to 4 in a row, breaking our record, but I fear they’ll go on to get a 5th next season.
Who knows, they might stretch the record further.
10 league titles and they will get more, before this era comes to an end.
In the meantime, they no longer rely solely on the oil money and are now drawing in a big income from genuine commercial deals, tv and prize money, while building a growing global fan base.
Utd fans assume we’ll always attract new supporters because of our big club stature and history, but how many kids and new supporters around the world are going to be attracted to a crumbling team that hasn’t won the EPL for 11 years, or the UCL for 16 years.
It’s not as if we’re close to competing at that level either.
How long before the income from our sponsorship deals start to slide too?
It’s sobering to be reminded that the Treble season was a quarter of a century ago !!!

Erm literally everyone thought this.
This was always the eventual ending with having unlimited financial doping year after year, it's crazy it took them this long tbh
Success breed success.
Yeah 1 charge for Everton is much easier to push through than 115 charges.
On that basis alone City should be docked 1150 points.
Then you take into account that City were cooking the books which I believe to be more severe and probably should go to 1300-1400 points?
He called the premier corrupt for punishing Everton and Forest after both plead guilty to breaching FFP after working with the PL and got punished.
Its like complaining that a murder trial hasn't reached court because someone elses shoplifting case one was heard in 3 months.
They are not the same thing. Not even remotely. The idea why would be treated as such is crazy.
Are all the pundits being paid by Abu Dhabi? The glee is incredible.
Anyway, it's City, a fake plastic team with no identity or history. It might as well call itself Abu Dhabi FC.

Spurs fans absolutely embarrassed themselves tonight. Shocking.
You can keep trying to make this point but you're on a forum full of ranting emotional posters for whom logic isn't their friend.
Excellent post. City winning more is detrimental to us. It just makes it even harder for us to gain future success.
Bayern was close to sign Haaland but when the board learned from his management about the figures City offered to Haaland (and his dad), Bayern had zero chance. Your funds are endless and no proper football club can compete, especially when you get around FFP with creative accounting or cooking the books as you call it.
The result if guilty of the strongest charges should be expulsion and enforced new ownership, not a points docking.
