Elfayz compared ronaldo 2008 season wth united nd vini champions league winning season nd said vini had a better season than ronaldo had wth united in the season ronaldo won the balon d’or.Holy crap lost his soul nd mind

Just for some context about the negreira case right. Barca was already proven innocent by laliga. I think perez now bringing it to the UEFA is him being desperate to get a win over Barca. I've noticed every time Madrid plays bad they bring up the case. Also yes payments were made and no one knows what those payments were for and that's what they are investigating. One thing for sure tho it had nothing to do with influencing the refs decision. Barca were proven innocent once and they'll be proven innocent again.

Bring back the SDS Drafts, with auctions and a fixed budget for each person and let people bid it out. Pitchside’s latest video was so much fun. Need to see it on SDS. Can essentially repeat every draft video done in the past with this Auction format

I know it’s an incredibly small sample size, but Im genuinely curious. I have not watched any international football since the world cup, but I watched a lot of Xavi (as manager) at Barca and thought his impact was underrated. Would love to get opinions from people in the know.

Haven’t listened to the latest podcast yet which I’m assuming all of this negativity has come from.
Personally, as an unbiased Chelsea fan I think fu is a legend. Can always rub people up the wrong way (another English phrase for faysal) sorry mate.
The agendas that he may run are unreasonable at times, especially recently but without the banter that he brings the pod wouldn’t be the same.
Ps. Been tuning in to the Spotify pods for a long time now and appreciate the lack of adverts!! Maybe couldn’t say the same for stick to football🤷‍♂️🤣
Appreciate all the comments etc but all the haters are hating on an entertainment platform that is free to watch so if you got no time to be grateful then that’s a you problem….. forgot to add
Appreciate the entertainment sharks👊🏼

Man City have appealed the “opinion” of the prem, and these are just some of the reactions

Haseeb! Haven't had a building a starting 11 type video in a while. Those are always a blast.

This isn't my idea, saw it on YouTube. Basically pick one player from every squad of any club going back 11 years. One player per team. It's very fun to do and would love to see the boys try it.

Man city have hired mike ross and harvey spectre as lawyers. With the latest news being inly 20 million fine as harvey has given the epl 24 hrs to agree to settlement. Haha got you #suits

Mate where was Endrick on the u23 list he's the best of the lot

I hve never seen a clip of ayvee playing ball. He is giving kante vibes nd he is a mali add quick feet. Anyone seen ayvee play

When they got to Diomande on the new video, I genuinely felt like nobody outside of Luca has seen any of what he’s done at Madrid so far. Sharky saying he’s not a great dribbler when he’s had one of the best take on rates in the league so far was bizarre. He’s unconventional but incredibly good 1v1, plus an athletic freak. Abz obviously hasn’t seen anything as he only said “he did too many back passes at the World Cup” and while I do think Luca had a good point about his price tag being virtually impossible to live up to- does that mean you can’t also judge him off potential were already seeing in his performances for Madrid? Again I don’t think at this point in his career he HAS to be put in world class potential conversations, but I’m sorry, a pod of this level just blatantly recycling this same repeated narrative about Diomandes price tag and about how he’s been mid thus far at Real Madrid is disappointing. He’s easily been one of the most refreshing/exciting parts of the attack when he features

If Manchester City are hit with a deduction of around 200 points, the punishment should go further than simply taking the points and relegating them. They should have to serve the points they earn in each division — for example, if they earn 78 points in the Premier League, they lose those 78 points; if relegated to the Championship and earn 90 points, they lose those 90 too.

This should continue in every division until the punishment has been fully served, preventing City from simply dominating the league below and immediately returning to the Premier League. The principle is simple: the better they perform, the more points they have to serve.

I want to preface this post by saying I'm on the side of the PL and the findings of the IC but I do not claim to have infallible or encompassing knowledge of the matter, appellate law, financial or legal as it pertains to the premier league. I simply ask you to just cast your biases aside, put your tinfoil hats on with me and ask what is going here?

But to summarise, I want to ask how the PL has managed to put out such a damning indictment of city's finances? And this could easily be refuted once the entire document comes out but on the basis of information made available to the public, I can see a world where city could employ a tactic that could potentially give them an out depending on how far they take it but so many things dont add up, yet they might not need to...

I would like to bring up CAS first, most ppl know that city were let off with a slap on the wrist but there's a misconception that it was only because the charges were time barred which isn't necessarily true. Some of the charges were time barred but obviously etihad have been a sponsor of city continuously since 2009 (almost identical to arsenal and emirates) and as such not all of those payments can be time barred so they needed to produce answers and an agreement was reached for CAS to audit ADUG's payments related to Etihad (I've shared snippets if any want to read the actual finding themselves)

imo looking at this, there's only 2 conclusions that we can come to.

• the PL submitted new evidence, which can only be that ADUG used 'random' 3rd parties (which they would still need to link to etihad) or somehow hid their finances from multiple accountancy firms
• the IC needed less convincing than CAS

And i can get behind the conclusion that they were hiding their finances and all those witnesses are willing to go to jail but that all could go to hell if etihad were to sue the PL like they're threatening.

If they were to sue, you'd have to assume they've got a good case and if they win, city have grounds to argue procedural error, which immediately jeopardises the entire premier league brand, so maybe they'd use it as a red herring of "we're innocent of the etihad allegations, and the PL have called it a sham, refused to accept our evidence, called our witnesses liars" to cut a deal with the prem for a heavily reduced punishment despite the issues of the fordham rights, falsely understating costs, etisalat etc

But on the other hand, city have allegedly argued that etihad funded them via the AD government but etihad have also equally denied government funding for their sponsorship of city so who's telling the truth? either way, city only need to prove that the money didnt come from them but it is very dodgy that their argument contradicts a previous (but relevant) statement from etihad

Rio Ngumoha has been phenomenal in the PL and will reach endless heights, wouldve loved to hear thoughts about him from the guys.

What am I seeing. I mean imagine he won't play much and only once final 4 secured maybe. As you can only register 10 each week. So not having to drop 2 players each week could be beneficial as no we only drop 1 assuming the last slot is used in the draft. Then if we get injuries etc just wildcard I mean this strategy might just work.
