City should have had that game out of reach and actually had better build up play but choked the lead away again.

@CQDog I don't think anyone will chase down Liverpool but low key Newcastle are the form team right now and have a better balanced squad than anyone in the league but the Reds. It's been a crazy turnaround from the start of the season. I love seeing the Magpies do well.

Yeah been an unreal turn of events. Just need to hope no injuries strike. We weren’t even that great today defensively yet we still managed a clean sheet. Big game against Bournemouth who Eddie hasn’t beaten since he started managing us

Eddie “doesn’t know Howe” will ensure they don’t finish in the top 4:tearsofjoy:

Great. Now he won't get service for another however many years. Although he's missed a few sitters lately.

wouldn't surprise me if use get point deductions as well
I think a hefty transfer ban like Juventus, Barca and other clubs have had for a year or two is a heavy penalty. Plus maybe no CL if they qualify. And a 20 point penalty for next season. They're hefty penalties and fuck the club for a few years. Relegation is too severe and stripping titles does nothing as those vacated titles weren't won the team that came 2nd no matter what the record book and asterisks say. You can't change history.

The transfer ban might actually be a good thing for City as it would mean Pep would have to trust the academy players and not give away superstars like Palmer again.

Salah can't get a 3 year contract yet Haaland gets 9.5 years.

Irrelevant. Salah is the best player in the world right now & deserves it for all he's done.
It isn't irrelevant because he drops off in the second half of the season almost every season and looks tk be doing the same again. He has been offered a fair contract and if he doesn't want to take it he can fuck off to Saudi and play in front of 1500 people.
