@jet2tweets disgrace in Malaga. 1pm Flight 2 LGW postponed 11 hours to replace plane. 12am plane arrives, 40 passengers told they could not board as too small. No accommodation provided, no help offered, told next flight is a week later. Literally kicked to the street- Shameful

He is the iconic voice of many characters, including Optimus Prime.

Hazard’s best season was 31 G/A, Son 30, Sterling 29, Mahrez 27, Bale/Mane 25, Pires 24, Beckham 24, Giggs 20

07/08 Ronaldo is the only individual season in prem history where a winger got more G/A than what Salah’s averaged for 9 seasons. Absolutely mental when you deep it

It’s only 13 minutes into the new season and Arteta and Gabriel are BANG at it already 🤮

I don’t think people truly appreciate how much of a mess the management and hierarchy situation at Liverpool already is and could still yet become.

Slot is out of contract next summer. So are the only two people who think he’s the right man for the job; Hughes & Edwards. (1/)

What a grim look for Ligue 1 that is

Lens opposed it, as they’ll now have to have a 2 week break and then play every 3 days, and also lose the opportunity to play PSG between 2 big UCL games

Which clearly benefits PSG with a bigger squad in a title race. It’s farmers league stuff

And the fact PSG tried to blame Hillsborough when the schedule is identical to Barcelona vs Atletico in the other UCL tie, and they played this trick against Chelsea too.

Disgraceful

[Parwin Punez @Btomzz]

You can actually see the level of shamelessness in @Ligue1_ENG.
Lens are in a title race with PSG, and instead of letting them deal with fixture congestion like every serious contender should, they are being protected.

Fixture pile up is part of the test of winning a league. You navigate it or you don’t. Now Lens don’t even get that chance.

Farmers league behaviour, no wonder it’s not taken seriously.
Anyways, it doesn’t concern us. No advantage gained.
We are used to playing every 3 days that’s what real champions do.

[South Wales Premier League @SWPLInfo]

Congratulations to @PentyrchS for winning South Wales Premier League Team of the Month for February . 3 wins and 1 draw in the league saw them end the month undefeated and top of the table #SWPL

[slbsn @slbsn]

Paying Leverkusen €45m to loan the player for a year would be TOP business

[South Wales Premier League @SWPLInfo]

.@PentyrchS claimed top spot last weekend with a 5th straight league win with @SplottFC_ just a point back with chasing @TongwynlaisFC & @CwmbachRS having games in hand to close the gap #SWPL

[South Wales Premier League @SWPLInfo]

Only 1 unbeaten home record in Division 1 East as @PentyrchS are the only side yet to taste defeat on their own patch #SWPL

Sign Ben White for £50m. Didn’t work? Go and drop £40m on Timber.

Sign Calafiori for £40m. Didn’t work? Go and drop £60m on Hincapie.

Sign Ramsdale for £30m. Is he too dumb? Go and drop £30m on Raya (in the last year of his contract).

Sign Jesus for £45m. Didn’t work? Go and drop £65m on Havertz. Didn’t work? Go and drop £65m on Gyokeres.

Did your second-choice striker get injured? No problem, here’s £70m for Eze.

No trophies to show for all this money spent? No worries, let’s just blame Manchester City for spending.

🧵 THREAD: Manchester City, the charges, the evidence, & how justice was delayed.

Manchester City weren’t charged because rivals complained or because they 'spent big'. They were charged because evidence shows a decade-long system designed to hide owner funding, inflate revenue & deceive & obstruct investigations.

The Premier League’s case didn’t appear overnight.
It began in late 2018, triggered by Football Leaks documents - internal emails, invoices, contracts - that contradicted what City had been telling UEFA & the Premier League for years.

Those emails are the backbone of everything that followed. At the centre of the case is a simple allegation: Manchester City repeatedly disguised owner funding as commercial revenue.

FFP rules require sponsorship income to be real, independent, and market value. What the emails suggest is that City’s biggest 'sponsors' weren’t paying what City claimed - Abu Dhabi was.

Take Etihad as an example. Leaked emails show City executives discussing Etihad paying only a fraction of headline sponsorship deals, with the shortfall quietly topped up by Abu Dhabi government-linked entities.

One email explicitly references ensuring funds 'come through the correct channels' so they are not detected as separate sources of funding. That is the definition of disguised equity. This wasn’t a one-off.

Emails show Etihad deals where shirt sponsorship, stadium, training kit & campus naming rights were all inflated wildly out of line with the market at the time - later confirmed in the actual contracts, not just drafts.

The numbers in the leaks weren’t hypothetical. They were real. UEFA auditors suspected this as early as 2013–14.

They found £47m of 'intellectual property' sales boosting income, a £5m 'win bonus' paid for an FA Cup final City lost & sponsorships from Aabar and Etisalat above market value.

City were fined & restricted - but crucially, UEFA never saw the full records. Why? Because City refused to provide them. This becomes a pattern.

When UEFA charged City again in 2020, they imposed a two-year Champions League ban. City appealed to CAS & had it overturned. City fans shout 'INNOCENT', shared out of context screenshots. They're wrong.

CAS did not rule that City were innocent. CAS ruled that UEFA could not meet the burden of proof - largely because City did not co-operate. City were fined €10m specifically for obstructing the investigation.

Even City's own expert witness was denied access to key information that could have disproved disguised funding. 'No evidence' doesn’t mean nothing happened. It means the evidence was withheld.

CAS explicitly stated that disguised equity funding could not be excluded - only that neither side could conclusively prove their case. That vagueness was entirely engineered.

After CAS, new emails emerged suggesting Simon Pearce, a senior City executive & Sheikh Mansour adviser, had given misleading testimony under oath. City declined to comment. Again.

While all this was happening, the Premier League had already been investigating City for years. City’s response? Delay. Delay. Delay. Obstruct. Litigate.

Court filings later revealed City challenged the legality of the investigation itself, filed repeated procedural applications, refused to hand over documents, forced arbitration, then challenged arbitration & tried to keep the entire process secret.

A High Court judge called it out in 2021. “It is surprising, and a matter of legitimate public concern, that so little progress has been made.” That’s legal spiel for stonewalling.

This obstruction accounts for 35 of the 115 charges alone & that’s before we get to the secret payments.

City declared Roberto Mancini's salary as £1.45m per year. On the same day he signed with City, he also signed a “consultancy” deal with Al Jazira - a club owned by the same man who owns City - worth £1.75m per year. That deal was explicitly marked confidential.

Emails show City executives arranging the payments. Same signatures. Same people. Same day. The allegation is obvious: City paid Mancini off the books.

Leaked documents allege undeclared payments for Yaya Touré, including via third parties. These aren’t rumours. They’re contracts, emails, invoices. This is why there are 14 charges relating to manager and player remuneration.

Then there’s image rights. City told UEFA they sold player image rights for a £24.5m lump sum to comply with FFP. Later, they quietly resumed earning millions from image rights again.

The buyer? A company whose directors included City’s own senior legal officer. Independent journalists couldn’t even establish its genuine commercial purpose.

All of this feeds into the core allegation across 54 charges: City failed to provide accurate financial information in good faith. Not once. Not twice. But repeatedly, over nearly a decade.

Now add politics. UK government departments discussed City’s charges with the British embassy in Abu Dhabi. Those communications are sealed - because releasing them could 'damage relations with the UAE'. City insist they are not state-backed. Then why is the state involved?

Yet still, the delays continue. A 12-week closed-door hearing. Half a million documents. Years of silence. City remain 'innocent' - not because the evidence disappeared, but because the verdict hasn’t landed.

This is why the case matters. If City walk away with a fine, it tells every club to cheat cleverly, obstruct endlessly, spend on lawyers, not compliance.. & the rules collapse.

This isn’t about jealousy. It isn’t about success. It’s about whether financial regulation in English football is real - or optional for the richest club in the league.

The evidence exists. The emails exist. The delays are documented. Now only one question remains, do the rules apply to City or not?

🚨🇫🇷 Real Madrid have informed Liverpool that they won’t proceed with Ibrahima Konaté deal for 2026.

After having Konaté on shortlist for long time, deal off — reports @TheAthleticFC.

Konaté, still discussing new deal at Liverpool. Proposal on the table, no final decision yet.
