Wrong  Was mentioned again on monday night football, carraghers words; "They are divided, half of the Everton fans want to win, yet the other half want to lose so Liverpool wont win the title, thats football, thats football rivlary" Neville chips in; "Yeah, im divided too" Lols around the studio. Everton fans have Liverpool fans, Liverpool hate Everton fans. It is however more "banter" rivalry than a Chelsea vs Spurs though, but they still would not like to see their rivals have success. However this means fuck all to Martinez or the players, they go out their to win every game, it's just surely City will not pass this opportunity up with a firing Aguero, Dzeko, Yaya and fit Kompany. | ||

Manchester City and Paris St Germain have been offered settlements for breaching financial fair play (FFP) rules. It was revealed on Monday afternoon that UEFA's club financial control board had made offers to the English and French clubs, along with several others, deemed to have breached the rules ahead of its meeting on Thursday. There are fewer than 20 clubs involved in total, according to reports, and they can either accept the offer of the sanctions, which could range from a reprimand to a fine up to restrictions on the squad for European competition next season, or try to negotiate a lesser punishment. Source We await to see what the sanctions are. The limiting ones squad seems a bit silly. Im sure if you agree to say have a 18man squad instead of 23 man squad for example. Then have 2 or so injuries, then appeal to UEFA im sure they will let you add another player xD | ||

I am sure they will be suspended from CL, i mean they broke the rules and UEFA is known for not caring about the name of the club. Man i am so happy about UEFA and FFP, its such a great use of a great tool to keep the competition up in europe. ... ... ... Yea. No. | ||

Anyway, any EPL follower can explain to me that mysterious Crystal Palace run? Two months ago they were dead in the water and then they win six games in a row? I haven't seen stuff like that for a long time (not at all in any major league, I think). Oh, and lack of Sterling in this season's best "11" is a crime. | ||

They were dead last in the first half and then had one of the best 2nd halfs of the bundesliga. Like top6 or so | ||

Say Man City and PSG fucked up with their FFP, fine them $50 million each. Their rich owners will pay it off np and UEFA will have $100m to pump into grassroots football or something. edit: Just to make myself clear City getting fined $50m is financially worse for them than playing the CL (at least up until now) | ||

CL is not just money from UEFA it is more money from sponsors every round, makes the club more valuable, and more interesting for good players. Its like the LA Clippers right now. No one cares about a money penalty but if sponsors bail out you are in trouble. | ||

Funny that the ones complaining are the ones he decided to get rid of :D Anyway, he is very passionate, so he's a bit crazy, like most coaches that have this kind of football ideas (see Van Gaal or Bielsa). | ||

Oh, and lack of Sterling in this season's best "11" is a crime. im not surprised at all. Pep is the one who killed Ibra's Barca career. If he continued for three more years at Barca then im pretty sure that he would've won ballon d'or at least two times. But Pep sacrified Ibra because Messi was jealous of him. here: Ibrahimovic: Messi is awesome. Fucking unbelievable. I don't know him very well. We are very different personalities. He came to Barca 13 years old and is brought up in their culture. He doesn't have any problems with that school shit. In the team, the play revolves around him, which is natural really. He's brilliant, but now I had come, and I was scoring more than he did. Messi went to Guardiola and said: "I don't want to play on the right side, on the wing, anymore. I want to be in the middle." That was where I was. But Guardiola didn't give a shit. He changed tactics. From 4-3-3 he switched to 4-5-1 with me on top and Messi right behind, leaving me in the shadow. All balls went through Messi and I couldn't play my game. I have to be free as a bird on the field. I'm the guy who wants to make a difference on all levels. But Guardiola sacrificed me. That's the truth. He locked me in up there. OK, I can understand his situation. Messi was the star. Guardiola has to listen to him. But come on! I had scored goal after goal in Barca, I was lethal too. He couldn't adapt the team after one single guy. I mean: why the hell did he buy me then? i hate Pep even more now lol. | ||

Yea he kinda "sacrificed" him but he thought playing through Messi gives him a higher chance to win then through Ibra. Thats not really something special in pro football. And the results show that he wasn´t completely wrong The only "mistake" you can argue is buying him and i dont know how much Pep was involved ito that. | ||
