It was a fantastic game but I'm far from convinced by the Newcastle penalty. Apart from being offside, Gordon stuck his leg out sideways to initiate contact. He was making no attempt to play the ball. Murphy had another solid game.

My God! I absolutely despair. No doubt they would have a paid membership scheme to give some people first dibs. One day it will come back to bite them all. If Norwich City did that I'd say goodbye and just watch local football.

I'm inclined to agree but they've done it with one Premier League quality player and 10 very good Championship players. And most of all a good manager. Unfortunately for them they don't have the resources to bring in 10 hew players. It will be a bit messy.

It is incredible and it was good to see him last the whole game yesterday. Or does that mean that Wagner has no faith in the bench?

Ohhh....

It's not an argument, it's a meaningless rant. It offers nothing knew and no solutions. It reads like he'd had a couple too many and forgotten he had a deadline. I don't know where the article was published but they'd perhaps be better to get @PurpleCanary or @shefcanaryto do it next time. Not sure why you've mentioned the West Ham stadium as Sainty hasnt even referred to it in his article. But they got a good deal, that's it really. Have you only just realised that the Premier League is made up of unpleasant people who don't care about football? One of the owners even asked recently for taxpayers to fund building a new stadium. But it's not their fault that some extremely dubious people bought some small clubs and destroyed them.

Not at all clear why you think I would take offence to your post 🤔

Rishi has let himself down a bit by giving an honour to a dubious character who gave the Tories £5m. The news made me pause briefly to think who I would honour. I'd go for The person who invented Hob Nobs The person who created Archers sausages Professor Alice Roberts

I wouldn't describe the owners of Manchester City as members of the establishment! Manchester City and its owners are innocent until proven guilty. I know you've found them guilty but the Premier League is still a long way from completing its review. Sometimes life doesn't seem fair. Just accept it and live with it.

Rather them than us

The only competition for 6th place is now Coventry, Hull and Preston. Looking at their run ins I think we can afford to lose 3 games out of 7 and still sneak in.

Previously unheard Marvin Gaye songs. As it is early recordings hopefully it will hopefully be in a similar vein to What's Going On https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68674814

Excellent report. I agree with your MOM and POTS. @Myra Hawtreemy mind may be playing tricks with me but I think the Pink un was available around 6.15. It was quite extraordinary how quick they were.

What on earth has the Post Office got to do with Manchester City? What embezzled funds? No one has been accused of stealing (apart from not paying tax). Apart from failing to deduct tax from a manager's salary the main charge is that the club's sponsors/advertisers paid hugely inflated amounts to Manchester City for advertising. I'm afraid I don't know the figures but to illustrate the point lets say that Liverpool get £100m from their shirt sponsor. Manchester City got £500m but it was paid by a Saudi company connected to City's owners. It may seem simple to you to claim they have paid way too much but they will argue that it is a long term project designed to eventually make them the number one airline in the world. I'm sure your view is they're lying but you have to demonstrate that. That is far from easy and the burden of proof will be very high because the stakes are high. Simply saying it's obvious just isn't good enough. You are looking for swift and efficient justice. UEFA tried Manchester City swiftly and inefficiently. They lost and they lost because the information they used was obtained illegally by a computer hacker and was eventually deemed inadmissible. This time it needs to be done properly. Bear in mind that Manchester City will almost certainly appeal to the CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) and may be successful because the documents being used against them were stolen from Manchester City. I would be very surprised if the complete process was finished in another 3 years. The Premier League are dealing with a group of people who take huge exception to being told what to do. They've spent their whole lives doing as they please and getting away with it. They have a bottomless pot of money to use in arguing that they can do what they want and unlike you they don't care about the rules. They think they can buy everything and usually they do. Finally, you think only Everton and Forest have been punished for FFP. That's not strictly true. Leicester were relegated because FFP stopped them for buying a keeper to replace Schmeichel and I'm sure others have suffered in a similar way because they followed the rules.

I got 4 on Bet 365. Bearing in mind current form that's crazy. Doesn't mean we'll win but definitely worth a punt thank you

Now think you're right

Hmmm. When the Blackburn player hit the shot another Blackburn player was offside right in front of the goalkeeper. Does it matter if it hit an Ipswich player on the way through? I don't know

Message from Mrs Midlands You posted too soon. Again

I rarely bet but those odds are as ridiculous as it gets. That doesn't mean I think we'll win, but at 4/1 I'm prepared to risk £2.50 of the Dylan fortune

You didn't read it did you? If England, Scotland and Wales weren't countries they would not be allowed to participate in national football competitions. A bit like Cornwall.

Fuc*

Stop digging yourself in a hole. THIS IS 115 CHARGES. Just one of those charges involves paying a senior non domiciled employee a huge amount without the operation of PAYE. That charge alone is enough to warrant relegation and will undoubtedly have aroused the interest of HMRC who may wish to prosecute which means the CPS will be involved. Now add another 114 charges to that! One of those is the over valuation of advertising rights. The Premier League have to prove that Manchester City were paid too much for advertising. To do that you need to take apart the accounts of a multi national corporation and tackle their lawyers and accountants. Can you even begin to comprehend the enormity of it? If found guilty on all counts they could be looking at relegation to the National League. But I'll tell you what, let's do it next week and hope they don't appeal...... The charge against Forest was quite simply that they broke the rules by delaying the transfer of Johnson by 2 months to drive the price up by £10m. They didn't deny the charge, they just thought they had behaved reasonably. That was it, and not surprisingly it didn't take long. What you're doing is comparing War and Peace to a nursery rhyme. Sainty is a bog standard football writer. He knows **** all about legal or financial matters. I'm sorry, but if this was a legal fraud trial it would be the most complex in UK history. And you're relying on a third rate football reporter who probably doesn't know his 9 x table.

Have you ever seen the burger van next to the club shop? Yuk. There is a good reason we're the fattest country in Europe.

Do you think club's shouldn't be allowed legal representation? Do you think Everton and Forest weren't represented? Stop being ridiculous. This is 115 complex charges, one of which involves potentially criminal behaviour and another agency. And the information being used was originally obtained illegally. The Premier League could of course rush to judgement but what do you think would happen if they did? There would be an appeal and that would take even longer. Sainty is out of his depth and so are you. Sorry, but neither of you has got the faintest idea what you're talking about.

Third column. The Premier League have charged Manchester City on 115 counts. Have you considered how time consuming it is to have to deal with some of the best lawyers in the world on 115 extremely complex charges, especially when a lot of the information you are using was originally obtained illegally? It will take a very long time,especially when other agencies are almost certainly involved. Stop being naive.
