No Bob. BLM ripped down all the Statue's. ???? We don't yet know the full transcript, I think it is being released in the next day or so but it isn't as simple as you are trying to make out. The CAS statement said:- 'Most of the alleged breaches reported by the Adjudicatory Chamber of the CFCB (UEFA'S Club Financial Control Body) were either not established or time-barred. So at the moment, that is about all we know. I know what you are trying to allude to but UEFA wouldn't have gone this far if the majority of the case was subject to time bound elements. That's why UEFA didn't punish PSG. In addition, City have always maintained their innocence and just because some elements where thrown out on the time bound rule, doesn't mean we were guilty of that part. It just means it didn't need to be considered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never been fit for purpose. It was supposed to be about ensuring owners weren't putting clubs into huge debt. And so how can it be ok for clubs like City to be hauled over the coals for having no deb't but it's ok for other clubs to have eye watering debt for years and years and never reducing it?

mrbojangles Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Apparently we have reached an agreement with Ferran Torres, a 20 year old from Valencia. Must admit I know nothing about him. Any of you guys seen him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Well done Arsenal. Don't know whether I'd say they played better than us, we just didn't / couldn't finish. They made their chances count and we couldn't hit a barn door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 What a job Arteta has done in a short period of time. That squad is so much more organized and composed. Burnt by a couple of Auby breakaways and couldn't hit the net. So many crosses. I do wish KDB would look for his shot more often instead of the super slick pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things no one would have predicted. A few of your players had an off night. It happens. Let’s hope you get it together for the Real Madrid game. Have to say Arteta is becoming a very impressive manager and appears to be making a huge difference.

RM game is scheduled for the Etihad so the issue is whether our government make them a special case. The remaining rounds are to be played in Portugal anyway so all qualifiers for the last 8 will be over there. At the moment, Portugal doesn't appear affected badly.

However I am sure there is no air corridor there with the UK so Brits are not travelling there for holidays. There must be some differentiation between tourist travel and work travel. As a side note: there are currently motor bike races going on in Jerez in Spain and teams and riders competing from all over the globe. Also the UK Masters golf has just finished yesterday with players from far and wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minute the casual fan starts hammering City players is when they've made it to the big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to 5 live last night back here and a guy called on and said Lewis Dunk deserves a chance ahead of him in the England set up. The guy was a Brighton fan and scathing in his views of MaGuire But then the pundits and presenters thought he was talking tosh. .
