Surely even ones with long memories can forgive burnley for this match. Up the clarets. Taxi for pep. If Burnley beat City, City will still likely win the league. If they were both shite I'd be really struggling to know who I'd want to win/22 players break their legs etc. However, City are now never going to come down from the top 4 of the league it seems. So 40-0 to City please and lots of pictures of bearded Grandmothers clutching their Uncle Dad's crying. Never want citeh to win. To paraphrase Churchill, if citeh were to play hell I should find occasion to make a favourable reference to the devil.

How the hell can anyone take the Premier League seriously? The competition has lost it's whole integrity. A club in city that is faced with the biggest scandal ever in the league's history and with 115 charges is just allowed to carry on as normal whilst constantly delaying the investigation process. They are now doing their usual trick of employing endless lawyers to continually delay and block justice.Incredibly some of the charges relate to non cooperation in the first place yet they are just doing it all again. YCNMIU. The fact there is no timescale to any hearing is ridiculous - how can it just be allowed to drag on endlessly. And yet there are other clubs,for much lesser offences,who have had to accept punishments- especially in the EFL. city's whole 'success' has a massive question mark against it. Many in the press seem happy to give them an easy ride hardly mentioning it as though it's some minor technicality they're accused of. And before anyone goes on about ffp etc,that's not the issue. Other clubs may not also agree with ffp but they followed the rules and if breached,were punished.

Liverpool paying £111m for Moises Caicedo from Brighton. He's good but he's not worldly good. They could get Croasdale for a tenth of that

The league is a new version of the emperors new clothes. Many will feel they are missing out on something if they do not show their interest after all the hype and free publicity it gets. Many of the evils and unnecessary changes in the game started up their but quickly dripped down to our level. I do not ever want to see us involved in that circus and a new 90,s version of County is all i wish for.

Think clubs should be able to spend as much as they want (providing the owners have the money and don't load the club with debt). Correct me if i'm wrong but spending limits never used to be a thing so why is the sporting integrity being questioned now when owners have many times before splurged money and 'bought' titles (see Blackburn in the 90's).

Surely it was better back in the days when all clubs spent what they wanted but it was usually dependant then on the size of the gates and not the size of the pockets of owners.

Not really sure what difference it makes to be honest. Size of the gates vs owners deep pockets... both are fairly arbitary things. Size of gates is hardly a baramoter of sporting fairness on the pitch if we're talkiing about the integrity of competition. Without Elwood / Stott we'd have done absolutely nothing over the last 40 years so it feels hypocritical to bash others for lavish spending.

Sorry but you've completely missed the point. This with city is not about whether anybody agrees with ffp or any other rules for that matter. It's about them not following the same rules as all the clubs sign upto and allegedly deliberately misleading the authorities with false financial information. You may well be right over ffp but what if some of the other clubs didn't like ffp but restricted their spending to comply. Is that fair,whilst city just carry on blatantly. You sign upto a competition and all have the same rules. That provides the integrity or fairness.

Us in 2021/22 👀 What rules did County break? Or Wrexham last season? If either did they'd be charged. All clubs submit relevant paperwork to the league.

Agree we did,as do most teams within the rules of the competition but again,with respect,that wasn't what i was talking about. ffp by the way would still enable city to spend a lot more money within the rules than say a burnley or brentford etc.

I agree with you.
