Rodders Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Nah, **** em. There's too many absolute scum at football grounds, and the kinds of people who chant this bollocks are almost certainly going to be the kinds of pricks who end up being pissed up, coked up rocket polishers who get angry at tiny shit. So any excuse to get rid of total **** bellends like that out of any football ground is fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a bunch of dickheads, but I do think the ban is a bit OTT personally. Guess it's a sign of how much we've progressed in general, for better or for worse I don't think anyone bats much of an eye at that 20 years ago. Its pretty low if ask me. There is banter and then this I dont think our fans sang similar when Trevor Francis died recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sulberto21 Posted November 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2023 Well where’s their deductions??? if these scumbags get away with 115 charges. The Premier League may as well disband. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 The sad thing is that they have won 2 premier league titles since investigations began (I may be wrong but that's what I read this morning). In any case they need to be deducted hell of an amount with their 115 charges they have. Can't tell me that all 115 have no basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Difference is, they will have all the top lawyers and find any loophole. City are a huge commodity to the Premier League. Their games are probably up their with the most watched around the globe with Liverpool and Man Utd. The PL ain't gonna do anything to kill a commercial cash cow. In reality, they should be hit harder than Everton, 115 possible breaches is mental and clearly indicates a lot of rule breaking but knowing the PL they will ban them from the Carabao Cup or something.

villa89 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 From what I understand the difference is that Everton basically plead guilty whereas City just threw an army of solicitors at the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 The PL coming down hard on City would be a diplomatic issue as they will then threaten to pull investments from the UK. Just like with the Saudi bid for Newcastle. The PL might even want to punish City heavily but I bet they have been told not to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Sod their investments. Just threaten to not sell them any weapons. I get the feeling with all these gulf states it's like when the idiot wins the lottery and everyone is their mate while they are splashing the cash then don't return calls when it's all spent. It's why we need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it's their investments that will prop them up long after the oil runs out. They've bought up more stuff than Disney. Pretty sure they own half of London's real estate and have fingers in most of our larger companies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Premier League may as well disband. If Everton got a ten point deduction for one charge, they should have 1150 a points deduction. Lets even it out and say 100 points per season for 10 seasons. Seems fair to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd also need a valid reason to do it (like Russia invading Ukraine) otherwise it damages overseas investment in the UK as they won't trust us.
