I'm not really going to be here anymore. Turns out I lied.

Universe: 2016 is the most insane year ever. nothing else insane can happen

Samir Nasri: Hold my beer

It doesn't matter who replaces Carrick. Those problems extend way beyond who's the manager. Needs burning down and rebuilding.

[JD @JD82__]

That's a disgusting finish.

[JD @JD82__]

Turns out we're bad at football again.

[JD @JD82__]

The whites did what now?

[JD @JD82__]

@MartinelliWhip No. You seem it though.

[JD @JD82__]

No matter what your views on the City thing, this is a line in the sand moment for English Football. If the appeal fails, there has to be a punishment on a grand scale. Anything less is just going to cause absolute anarchy in the game.

[JD @JD82__]

@Hayles_101 Genuinely I'm baffled by the City response to it

[JD @JD82__]

@dream_teamz5 @Zubbyyke @FabrizioRomano He's a Watford fan.

@Wolves_Lizard8 I'm not against investment but you can hardly call what City have done if they are charged "investment"

[JD @JD82__]

Am I missing something on this "Red Cartel" because since 2011-12, the members have a grand total of 3 PL titles between them. Liverpool have one 1 in 30 years, it's our first in 22 and Man Utd haven't won one since 2013.

But barring 2015-16, you know who's won the rest.

[JD @JD82__]

@Wolves_Lizard8 I don't mind discussing this. Where did we make the rules?

[JD @JD82__]

@CraigSkellorn So surely, if all teams or majority are voting for it, does it not cease to be a few teams being singled out for it?

And also, wasn't it a UEFA thing that was implemented, not something drawn up in-house?

[JD @JD82__]

@AndrewM94840855 The rules were agreed with a 2/3rd majority with the other clubs. Surely a cartel move would have been to bin off the joint TV rights deal? Surely? The only cartel move we made was to try and make our vote count more than the others which was rightly rejected.

@flashcity69 It's sad for folks like you.

[Declan Bogue @DeclanBogue]

Could be a mental day in the life of Timmy Mallett if he takes a wrong turn.

[JD @JD82__]

@RichardBuxton_ Absolutely. That was a cartel move. No issues or qualms about this.

[JD @JD82__]

@flashcity69 I don't think state involvement in football is particularly good either. I know Abramovich was the catalyst of this and technically wasn't, but he kinda was.

[JD @JD82__]

@flashcity69 Oh yeah. I agree. I'm not against investment in football at all. It does need to be measured and if some of the charges that are levied against you are true, then something does have to be done about it.

And yes, we're going to benefit from it in the next few years.

[JD @JD82__]

@Wolves_Lizard8 We couldn't beat them on the pitch because we played by the rules that were agreed upon by all clubs. And we suffered. We sold our best players every year to be sustainable.
