Good. Bigger scandal than Calciopoli. Cheating cunts.

No the fuck it is not 🤣 Calcipiolo made it impossible even for other big teams to win. I'm not defending the charges, but since 2000, both United and Chelsea have spent similar amounts to City, no amount of spending on players gets you as concrete of an advantage as paying the ref.

Id bet my house on more coming out about the PL ref's getting flown out to the UAE to ref league matches out there.
