Ah yes a season devoid of meaning you say? Like the ones where you robbed titles from law abiding sides and laughed. It’s frustrating isn’t it. Perhaps spend the rest of the season grasping irony so you don’t make an arse of yourself on a public forum by the time you come back.
I dont think it's acceptable to start a season and then dock points from any team.
I said it with previous points deductions and it's not just about City.
And especially at a level 'guaranteed to mean relegation' as that feels wrong.
If the intent of any points deduction starts off with the position of 'guaranteeing relegation' then any season is devoid of any sporting value.

So City are to be relegated to the Championship as punishment? Talk about patronising.
What are we twenty odd places below, Devil's fucking Island? We don't want them. Moping about like they're in an open prison.
Fuck em off to non-league.
Rogers is an utter pussy and Tarkowski had him and got him booked because he was being a whiny bitch. Henderson should be in the book too, calling for cards and covering his mouth when arguing with an opponent.
What does Cole Palmer need to do to get booked? Kicked the ball away, screamed in the referee’s face to try and get Armstrong a red and then aggressively protests after fouling Tarkowski as he broke down the line. Pathetic cowardly refereeing.

And for clarity, Blount and Blunt are pronounced the same way. But I simplified it to Blunt as I was tired of people rhyming my name with “count”.
Suggestion for the football fan community:
Stop talking about the City debacle, stop giving them oxygen to comeback pretending to be victims of a conspiracy. Ignore them (difficult tho that is) and let them stew in the knowledge that they cheated and we all know what they are.

1. “We didn’t cheat.”
2. “And if we cheated, it wasn’t that bad.”
3. “And if it was, cheating didn’t make much difference.”
4. “And if it did, everyone else was cheating.”
5. “And if they weren’t cheating, the rules were unfair anyway.”
6. “And even if we cheated, you only care because we beat you.”
7. “And if we beat you, we beat you on the field.”

125 years of the Submarine Service.
Today, we celebrate our people. The crews who serve in silence. The families who support them. The veterans who paved the way. And every submariner who as helped shape 125 years of history.

City fans in this wild denial are football’s version of incels. Everyone’s against them, the league made them cheat. They try and link up with others who feel hard done by blaming the ‘Red Cartel’ for their woes. Zero introspection, zero accountability, never at fault.
Man who made money writing about how great a coach Pep is doesn’t believe the cheating affects his work because it would make his work akin to an in house puff piece. Also it raises questions about how someone with his access to Pep didn’t pick up or query the obvious cheating.
"His work is NOT tainted" ❌🏆
🎙️ @GuillemBalague says a finding on Man City is not a finding on Pep

Sweet Lord! The brass neck on this clown, the lack of self awareness is (in a way) glorious. Everyone knew CFC cheated, their new owners panicked and grassed on the club to avoid penalties. We know what they were, what they are now is too irrelevant to chase for punishments.
Roman Abramovich took over Chelsea and brought success to the club without any of the controversies surrounding Manchester City, who bought their way to the top.
Man City should be relegated to the lower leagues and work their way back up, so it can serve as a lesson to everyone about cheating.
Pep Guardiola oversaw both a cheating Barcelona and Manchester City for over 15 years, and he deserves to be called out as a fraud coach.
We need clubs that can compete fairly, not oil-owned clubs that think success should come immediately.
Highlights of the timeline this morning:
City fans claiming it means nothing
City fans claiming it’s a stitch up by Arsenal
RED CARTEL to blame on EFC pages
@sportingintel pulling a bundle of receipts out on City lunatics including citing someone’s PhD
Battle lines being drawn, Keegan was an obvious City mouthpiece, waiting to see who starts the deluge of sympathy pieces for the poor City fans who can’t possibly have known about this terrible behaviour…
There is now a growing confidence within the Premier League that they have won in their 115 charges battle with #ManCity. Should the decision have gone against @ManCity, it is inevitable that they will appeal.

Finally someone on the political left with a backbone telling the truth about what happened inside Iran behind an enforced digital blackout.
The urgent question now for everyone, whatever your political persuasion, is this: as the people of Iran prepare to rise up again in a fight for freedom from the Islamic Republic, a fight they’ve been engaged with for last 47 years, will they be supported or ignored?
An important read.

Onto the final week of games before the turd in the punchbowl that is an int break. We play BHAFC, who have started well and also have one of the most vocal proponents of the ‘Arsenal are dark arts masters’ agenda as manager. What nonsense can the officials throw at us this time?
