Victims of a Campaign- The Other Footy Teams Thread

It was aggressively bad play, but he looked done all game. Like he just can't run anymore.

 

As @CarlosKaiser alluded to, the one positive is they didn’t overhaul our goal difference advantage. So any result for West Ham coupled with any win for us will be enough.

COYI.

 

Lads, it’s Wet Sham.

 

Schadenfreude for those idiot Sp*rs fans who wanted their team to lose, would be for West Ham to take points off of City, giving Arsenal the title anyway with a win over Everton, Sp*rs to lose their final game, against Sheffield United and both Newcastle and Chelsea winning their last two to edge Tottenham out of the Europa League on goal difference. A million to one shot, but it would be sweet.

 

Bookmakers give Everton almost twice as good a chance of taking points off Arsenal (-550) as they give West Ham to take points off City (-1000).

But hey, anything can happen, right?

 

we lost 14-6 to Cleveland Heights.

no joy in Mudville

 

One more layer--Mancs beat City in the FA cup to take a Europa slot. That would leave Spuds out of the Europa conference and Chelsea in it. Wonder what the odds are on that parlay--United over city, West ham draw, Spurs loss, Chelsea and Newcastle win 4 games.

 

Damn, it's certainly been a while, what have you been doing with yourself since 2020?? Any new . . . hobbies??

 

In other news to take my mind off the cluster******** that was watching another Spuds bottlejob in their toilet bowl stadium...

 

That’s hilarious

There is one reason and one reason only why this case is not settled yet. When the PL launched the procedure for the 115 charges, City made sure that it got stuck in the courts for almost 3 years challenging every technical aspect it could to delay it.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Premier League clubs to vote on proposal to scrap VAR from next season. Resolution formally submitted by Wolves to abolish system + will be on agenda at June 6 AGM. Any rule change needs 2/3s majority (14 of 20 members) to pass @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/QXK5ZgP0Ht

that full text in that tweet is pretty incredible. I had no idea it took that long just for PL to get the data from City, and it certainly helps explain why the 115 charges may never be officially litigated.

 

Yep. On top of the 115 charges they need additional punishment for wasting everyone's time. In a "just world" if/when City is found guilty they would be forced to cut payroll and be relegated down to National League.

 

According to the timeline in the Swedish Rumble’s tweet the Court of Appeals dismissed City’s appeal on June 30, 2021, what’s been going on for the last 3 years?

Once the appeal was dismissed any kind of prompt sanction at all and Arsenal could be working on its second consecutive title.

 

My assumption it’s reviewing all their financials, identifying the violations, and now building all the evidence since City have had 6+ years to prepare their legal defense.

 

This feels very much like our current political environment.

 

Does anybody know anything about this ‘Swedish Rumble’ account? It all sounds reasonable and legitimate, but the fact their twitter handle is an obvious parody of Swiss Ramble gives me pause.

 

I couldn't agree more. The current state of American . . . . let's call it "public information" instead of "news media", puts me on notice anytime I read anything i know little about. So while I want to believe what I read above, I'm not close enough to the story to just accept it as fact. It's amazing to me how easy it is to steer public opinion in today's connected world. I look forward to pursuing supportive information on this narrative while combating the desire to pursue and understand 5,000 other narratives simultaneously. #2024problems

He has also posted some personnel stuff, so I think this is probably a legitimate account.

 

Hilarious how VAR typically works very well in other countries and at major tournaments, its just a massive dumpster fire in the league that has a referee "boys club" where VAR doesn't want to upset their mates on the pitch...
