🔥 WATCH THIS: Paul Merson RAGING at Manchester City over their industrial-scale cheating, and the moments they’ve denied other teams, players and fans.
Merse is saying what a lot of fans have been feeling since the guilty verdicts. The cheating didn’t just help City. It won them the Premier League. He says there’s “absolutely no chance” they would have done it without it.
Without the ability to ignore PSR the way everyone else had to, they would have been miles off the top teams. They simply wouldn’t have been able to compete with the legitimate revenue streams the others were generating.
The players didn’t win those leagues, “them upstairs” did, by buying all the best players and building a squad no one else was allowed to match.
When Clinton Morrison tried to defend them (“they still have to go out and play, Merse”), Merson nearly exploded:
“OH COME ON! They had all the best players! They had two best players in every position and they dominated!”
Then he went further. Medals and trophies are almost irrelevant next to what actually matters. Life is about moments, and City’s ownership have taken those moments away from other people.
He pointed to Manchester United at Sunderland in 2012 — the day Aguero scored in the last seconds against QPR to clinch City’s first title, while United were left standing on the pitch at the Stadium of Light. That was at the height of the cheating.
“Life is all about moments and you’ve taken it away from other people. Them upstairs at Man City have nicked other people’s moments in life.”
Well put, @PaulMerse 👏

The best idea I've heard to date on suitable punishments for @ManCity is to require the sale of the club. After all, that is what happened to @ChelseaFC simply because Abramovich was Russian & mooted to have ties with Putin. Those ties weren't voluntary. City's breaches were
The refereeing in the premier league is at all time low - Mike Riley was hated as a ref & ended up in charge - who would of thought that Howard Webb who was mostly rated as a ref would sink it lower - what we see on the pitch are the same people at Stockley Park
I didn’t realise how good Mark Guehi is with the ball - could have been him & Colwell as our centre backs
All in all can’t moan at the performance but once again their keeper not had a save to make

THE DEATH OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE
Three simple and obvious things have contributed to the decline of the English football as we know it
What used to be the most entertaining league in the world is now an absolute bore and this is why
1) PEP GUARDIOLA • His robotic style of football is one of the biggest contributing factors. The keeper passing it short all the time has been copied by the entire league. Players no longer taking long shots or shall I say scared to shoot has also been mimicked by all. Wingers running down the wing only to turn each and pass the ball backwards every time is really frustrating. The sooner he leaves the league the better
2) MIKEL ARTETA • Educated in the “school of Pep” has taken Guardiola’s robotic football state and taken it to another level. Every time his team have a set piece it results in lots of time being wasted and an absolute free for all in the box. It’s got the point where I’m expecting Hulk Hogans music to hit. The constant cheating and diving to time waste is also a major concern. Now other teams are doing the same resulting in a snooze fest. The sooner he’s gone the better
3) VAR • Now this one has taken the heart and soul out the game. Yes it leads to the correct decision most times, but it has taken the “anything can happen” factor out the game. A goal goes in and nobody even knows whether to celebrate it or not. Decisions taking to long to be made and incompetent officials who clearly don’t know what the game has killed the enjoyment for all the fans
Now I can’t see VAR being eradicated from the game but I’m truly hoping PEP & and his former protege MIKEL are gone in the next 2 years max
SO WE CAN GO BACK TO ENJOYING WATCHING FOOTBALL AGAIN
This is a man I can buy a drink for 🍺🍺
This is our patriot superhero dealing with the left & the pro-Palestinians in London. As the Treasury is changing Britain's 🇬🇧 bank notes @lucymarionbrown has designed this.
So do enjoy him calling them a "Gutless p**ck, why don't you f- off back to where you came from Abdul."

Be aware of a ticket scammer going by the X name of @_TomBarret who, despite a bio stating his location is in the UK and a photo of @StamfordChidge and @GrocerJackUK, is actually based somewhere on the African continent and is definitely out to steal your money.

SWEDISH POLITICIAN SAYS KEY TO GETTING ECONOMY BACK ON TRACK IS BY BEING LESS ‘SPURSY’
Lucas Bergvall, look away. Swedish member of parliament Mikael Damberg compared his nation’s “misdirected economic policy” to Tottenham; flush with resources, but unaware of how to use them.
Chelsea got a nerve - advertising become a member & get more - I paid £60 and had not a sniff at a ticket
