You must have been desperate - that episode (two actually IIRC?) is a stinker! Not the best but plodding back through all the episodes, better than watching the gravy stains, they used to make me laugh too but now it's more nausea. I'd normally be with you there and hate watching them and under normal circumstances it would be a Columbo afternoon but I'd woken up from a nap and it was one so I left it on, glad I did for once because it was hilarious seeing them concede that last minute pen.

Be interesting to see of anything comes of the alleged FFP breaches by the gravy stains, if Everton get 10 points deducted surely they get their titles stripped and relegated.

Everton deducted 10 points for breaking FFP rules. And still above Burnley...

Josep "Pep" Guardiola wouldn't have gotten some ill gotten gains through the means of cheating would he?
Surely not.

Apparently “monitoring investigations into other clubs”. Saw that in their statement. very interesting and not great for city. a precedent has been set with this and the myth has been destroyed about the PL not wanting to properly punish clubs. Don't forget Everton were actually praised for cooperating in the investigation,something city have been charged with not doing. Compared to city's case and list of 115 charges,Everton's 1 charge is minimal and nowhere near as serious in content.

Imagine they'll find a loophole to get out of any punishment, they funnelled money in via sponsorship and will argue its an administrative oversight rather than cheating. They'll probably get a fine.... easy for them to pay.

It's a hell of a lot more serious than that and not just something you could explain away. Have a look at the list of charges. These were over a 9 year period,not some isolated incident or single mistake.And some of the most serious charges are related to non-cooperation and not providing the league with information they were supposed to.It really is an unprecedented case and it's only the lack of scrutiny by their media chums that has let it all go a bit under the radar recently. I reckon this Everton case will force it back into the public eye.It can't be allowed to just drag on forever due to city's army of lawyers constantly causing delays.

Suspect Everton's punishment will end up being reduced / cancelled and that City won't get a significant punishment either. Good job in a way it looks likely Everton will get enough points this season to be safe even with this deduction.

Just done some quick maffs, and a 1,150 point deduction would cover every single point city have picked up over more than 14 seasons

City won't get hit by anything that anyone is able to make stick.

You have to remember how quiet all the major clubs have been over this; I reckon it's a deliberate silence they've been asked to maintain by the authorities who have assured them city will be properly dealt with.

Or they're in glasshouses. Don't get me wrong, I'd absolutely love to see City battered by this. I just think they're going to be able to worm their way out of it.
