  1. City haven't won more than two league games in a row in 2022, which feels bonkers to say. That's just about the only thing keeping me clinging on to hope that there's another twist in this race.

    FIFA 23

    '21 was the first I ain't bought since '98 and I haven't looked back.
  3. It's not The only grim consolation is that judging by how floppy his leg was, it was a clean break, so should have an easier time healing. The kind of thing that derails a career for an 18 year old though.
  4. none of those things would happen. i would wager the only thing that would change is that transfer fees get bigger so that the surplus money goes somewhere. the other problem you run into is that you can't get the entire world on board. the prem is the biggest league in the world because the money attracted all the superstars. whatever league pays the most would just replace it as the go-to destination. i've never understood why people are so desperate to "fix" football wages when it's essentially the only industry in the world where the workers are paid fairly relative to the value they create.
  5. So like... don't. He still has 2 years to run. They "don't want a repeat of the Wijnaldum situation," but it's not even comparable. He'll be 33, what resale value are they protecting, exactly?
  6. A lot of really reliable journalists bringing up the "very real prospect" that Jordan Henderson could leave Liverpool this summer. FSG are honestly flabbergasting.
  7. I'm genuinely baffled as to how people aren't seeing Bailly going studs up at shin height. It's a red card challenge anywhere else on the pitch.
  8. Yeah, Paul Joyce tweeted wrong. Take it up with him.
  9. The 6 English ESL clubs will have 5% of their UEFA revenue withheld for one season, and each will make a 15m EUR donation to grassroots initiatives. That seems like the perfect punishment to me, hurting the owners and supporting the pyramid, rather than short-sighted cutting off your nose to spite your face.
  10. Honestly, once all this is over can we get Perez on Gogglebox or something? His insanity has been box office stuff.
  11. I mean, fine. I certainly won't complain about it if the clubs are punished, I just think it's silly and performative and everyone will pat themselves on the back and call it a win for football, meanwhile nothing actually changes. There's a good chance John Henry isn't even around to endure the punishment, the punishment itself does absolutely nothing to address the systemic issues that resulted in this happening, the punishment (depending on severity) likely ends up harming every other club rather than the owners in question, and we're all back here in 10 years, except Farhad Moshiri has replaced Daniel Levy at the Super League table and this time they've actually got their ducks in a row.
  12. I mean, technically nobody entered an additional competition, so no rule has been broken. Technically. Don't get me wrong, I guarantee you that I'm more outraged than you are about what happened. It isn't a "we're special" attitude at all. I literally said those other clubs shouldn't have been punished either, because their owners should never have had the power to do the things that they did in the first place. I'm not sure we can all in one breath say that what happened to Leeds, for example, was a travesty, but in another breath advocate for it happening again to different clubs. FSG are fucking disgusting and I want them out of my club as soon as realistically plausible, but more than that I want national reform to the way football clubs operate to stop anything like this or anything like what happened to Bury and Rangers happening again.
  13. Well, first of all, going into administration isn't a remotely comparable situation to conspiring to betray UEFA. Second of all, they shouldn't have been punished, because they shouldn't have been in that position in the first place. That was, y'know, the entire crux of my post.
