City to win 2-1. It is going to be tough. I was having a look at tickets before - bloody expensive. It is the first of four home group games. Never mind the players going on strike. I don't think that many fans can even afford to go to all of these games anymore.

Just how it should be.

Talking about the rags decline

This week
City V Inter CL

Man Utd V Barnsley LC

Say no more

The media is always full of bullshit and it just gets worse and worse over the years. I remember the days that the Saturday Pink was just full of football. Nowadays there are more stories on the internet about finance of football than football. I don't even think that there were financial rules back then and you certainly never heard of points deductions for breaking them. Strange how they appeared when City got good and the rags declined.

The media will be full of bullshit for the next month or two

Bring on league two

Back to Maine road days 

Or maybe we appeal like we did the UEFA two year ban. I'm not worried about watching City in lower divisions again if necessary. In some ways it is attractive. No VAR and away matches streamed at 3pm. But we must pursue justice until the end. Leicester appealed and win.

All kicks off tomorrow and sadly I think the judgement will not be formed on concrete evidence and the audit trail of money and transactions, but what the judges think of the inconclusive evidence (emails, circumstances). For instance, i wait to see what concrete evidence the PL presents to the tribunal that Roberto Mancini was given additional consultancy work in the UAE as a (underhand) supplement to his City salary.

City were exonerated by CAS, a 2 1 judges decision however. So, one judge believed (without concrete evidence or audit trail City were guilty) and these adjudicators might easily be swayed by PL arguments not fully backed up by accounting evidence (applying the balance of probability rather than beyond reasonable doubt principle).

That said the sooner this shit is sorted out the better, hopefully with City owners and directors vindicated (as I trust and believe in them and hope they will for the sake of the club and it's loyal fans). They have done more for City, the local community and Manchester than all the other club owners. Other club fans hate us from ignorance, misinformation and in some cases jealousy.

Whatever the outcome, we accept it and just move on, and upwards.

Hopefully, the Brentford first half an hour will be a wake up call at the right time. Two very tough matches coming up.

I am full of hope despite the relatively poor fist half performance against Brentford.

1  0  City win

C'mon the Champions, lets regain the UEFA CL title this year.

We are all Spurs fans today then
