But can be arsed to tell everyone, strange.

Not really. I didn't watch it but kept an eye on this thread.

Sproggy

A 4 goal masterclass and 66% possession.

Surely Gareth is first in line for the City job when Pep leaves?

Sproggy

I find England games look a lot like Sean Dyche cup games.

I'm at the pub instead.

Not particularly. Other clubs have also spent ridiculous amounts of money without the same success

Whaterboutery.

City have had a strategy and have executed it brilliantly.

They are also accused of breaking the financial rules on an industrial scale.

Sproggy

Looking at what City have done and pointing at Utd is whataboutery at its finest. City have had a plan which they have executed brilliantly and which looks to be finally delivering the Champions League this season. I think the phrase '"operating under their own financial rules" is an excellent way o...

I thought United were quite lucky in their treble winning season. Taken to the last day by Arsenal in the league Scored last minute goals against Liverpool in FA Cup Taken to a replay by Chelsea Should have been beaten by Arsenal in the semi final, but Bergkamp missed a penalty Only beat Brøndby in...

I'm not convinced these sequels work very well but the original film was excellent so I'll give it a go.

Is it also set in Vietnam?

Hang on. We're saying that the solution to people standing up is to take their seats away?

I'm not sure Alan's thought that one through.

Sproggy

They still manage to get through about a quarter of a billion quid a season on new signings. They've already been fined by UEFA for failing to co-operate with an investigation into their finances and they are now facing an investigation by the Premier League which is accusing them of cheating on an ...

I presume nobody had a issue with our domination of the Championship with a budget far, far greater than the rest of the division?

We had the 2nd lowest net spend in the Championship this year.

Sproggy

I’ve said it before and I genuinely believe that the Premier League is at a tipping point right now with the top of the table slowly becoming uncompetitive. I do not know what the answer is, but it cannot be heathy for the game when clubs are backed by oil rich nations who are happy and able to spe...

Sproggy

Peterborough punished for persistent time wasting. Sheff Wed equalize in the 8th minute of the 6 added!

Well played ref.

Sproggy

Boro get to watch another team celebrate. Ouch.

Losing 6-0 to this lot doesn’t feel so bad now

I think we gave them more of a game.

Sproggy

Modric subbed on 63 minutes. About 60 minutes late

Sproggy

About as one sided a game as you're likely to see. Madrid all over the place. No energy, no press, no movement, disorganized at the back and unable to string 2 passes together...yet still trying to play it around at the back and getting overrun. City just the opposite. Probably the easiest 45 minute...

Sproggy

Madrid not pressing, City have as much time and space as they want. When Madrid do get the ball back they're struggling to string 2 passes together. Modric looks like he's playing with his eyes closed.

Sproggy

Madrid have been awful so far. Could be over at half time if they don't improve quickly.

Sproggy

The article is a bit vague (it is from the Mail...) but it looks like 4 clubs will sue - the 3 relegated this year plus us - but only if Everton stay up.

Sproggy

We lost a year's worth of Prem TV money because Everton cheated. Just because VK has worked miracles with what was left after relegation is irrelevant.

Sproggy

Regarding Pep and City, where, how, does he source these great players that City bring in? Put these together with Pep and its an astonishing end product. Well, you start off by spending over a billion quid, break financial fair play rules over a hundred times and quietly funnel money into your spo...

Slight tangent but tickets for the pre-season friendly between Chelsea and Wrexham in Chapel Hill, Carolina sold out before they got to open sale. Capacity is 51,000 and tickets were priced $200 - $550.

You know what he meant as did everyone else and he’s right.

Yes, thanks. I did see Shef U and we stuffed them.

Sproggy

In the players' minds the job is done.
In the fans' minds it isn't.

We've been poor since Boro. Hopefully a few words are exchanged before Tuesday.

5pm for an 8pm kick off 12 miles away?

Hopefully not.

The only reason they'd ditch sky is to launch their own streaming service.

They're only just looking into that idea, so we're some way off ditching sky

Agree with this...the future will surely be the PL streaming their own content in a Netflix type model.

Improved as the game went on, fortunately, as the start was poor.

Changed the game in our favour.

If he hadn't fouled him, Tella would have tapped into an empty net. Sheffield would have run out of steam eventually too.

Wow. What a powerful article.

Sproggy

Sunderland came and did a job on us pressing high up the pitch and deserved a point . Only thing I would say is JBG should have started instead of Benson till he gets back up to speed. We just moved the ball a bit slowly so even when we did pass it round their press they had time to get back. I gue...

Poor tonight. Too slow. Sunderland pressed high then backed off quickly. Nobody seemed to want to take a risk.

System seems broken to me. I agree with those who have suggested either something based on season tickets or a rolling system that rewards recent-ish loyalty.

It is based on season tickets. You have to have the points and a ST to qualify.

Sproggy

Every cloud has a silver lining. Tickets for the Papa John's fanzone are now on sale. Maybe Alan Pace will set up a Superfans table at the front where the most self-entitled fans can sit and watch the game? They should get a free slice of marguerita pizza and a special lanyard that shows their name ...

Sproggy

Anyone got a mop and bucket? Going to be a lot of tears on this thread. I think the loyalty points system is fine and I think a ballot on this occasion was fine too.

Spot on. Unless your kids are twins, triplets etc you will have one child who enters the 6,000 bracket before the other and you can take one child and not the other.

Feel free Sproggy The season won't be replayed, we will still have been relegated and Everton will still be in the premier league If it turns out that Everton, then we probably will get some cash out of it (but with lawyers involved the timescale is going to be years one would think) I'll await som...

Sproggy

There's every point discussing it as we probably wouldn't we have been the 3rd worst team if we'd broken Premier League rules and spent an extra 300 million quid. Or more to the point, if Everton hadn't done.
