I feel like this game will be the moment City turns it around. The are playing indifferently because of the treble hangover. After this they feel aggrieved.

Can't wait till Brazil's next debacle at an international tournament. This gen of Brazilians is soft and weak.

Playing at Barcelona > playing at PSG. Don't really care for the [reasons].

Horrible. My prayers for his speedy recovery 🙏

Johnson is gone. Rishi Sunak is in desperate need of a political victory. And his likely successor is a Labour PM. The Super League isn't happening. Every PM will be jostling to be the "Man who saved English football". It's over.

None of these clubs can leave. The last time they tried, fans rioted and shut down the matches. The prime minister and the opposition were united on wanting to prevent a super league.

That was a fuck around and fund out moment for the red tops. They pulled out in time before the government stepped in. Next time they'll be made examples. They'll be put under a government regulatory body and their power to self regulate will be gone.

This isn't America where there is a constitution. Parliament can force liquidations like they did with Roman. The American owners will behave or they'll be sent packing.

The so-called "profit and sustainability" rule will go down as the greatest debacle in the modern soccer era.

From now on, English football will be played in courtrooms. It will devolve into bickering, court battles and leaks to the British media. There will be endless recriminations because, I'm willing to bet, few clubs have entirely clean hands and clean owners. You'll have dozens of investigation firms interviewing former club employees trying to find financial irregularities and illegal/immoral behavior to send to the police and media.

The state owned clubs will undoubtedly use hacking to get phone records of rival owners (they bought Israeli spyware that bypasses Apple/Android encryption). And there will be no punishment as the hackers will be Saudi/Emirati government employees.

This will be a huge mess.

So they had the money to spend, but broke PL rules which permit some clubs to spend more than others? Got it. Calling a closed shop "sustainability" is like an oil company using "environmentally friendly"
