City fans will look you dead in the eye and ask you if you’re a lawyer and then say they’re not state owned.
They’re guilty and they know it.
THIS is why you don’t allow states to own football clubs.
So if an English club is found to have broken English football rules in England, it could damage relations between England and *checks notes* the United Arab Emirates.
And this is the kind of ownership that passes "fit and proper" tests.
Dissolve the club and charge them all.
This is a diplomatic THREAT.
So if City are found guilty, this may affect diplomatic relations between the UAE and Britain? From investment, trade or maybe even security?
Threatening this is an attempt to recruit the British government into influencing an independent football process. And it must be investigated and the government must confirm whether UAE representatives have ever raised this with ministers, officials or diplomats.
This is a slippery slope and we cannot allow state owned clubs to become harder to punish and football sanctions to become diplomatic disputes.
11 and a half hours of football separated these yellow cards
In between, no opposition player was booked for a foul against Everton
There were 54 fouls in that period
Absolutely disgraceful what’s happened to villa tbh literally had a good side picked apart so the leagues little pets can keep themselves where they are. Made worse by that parasite masters all over the news saying the leagues in good shape
Does Oscar just have a different car from Lando?? Cause I know he struggles with low grip and these cars are low grip naturally but like he’s so far off the pace it’s crazy
