Over 3 years since Manchester City were charged with 115 breaches of Premier League financial regulations.
Meanwhile, they carry on as if nothing has happened, signing the best players, competing for titles and trophies.
While other clubs lose points, are financially crippled, for nothing in comparison.
Everything City have achieved since 2008 has an asterisk next to it, and always will have.

@JohnCleese You can legally abort a full term baby, but God forbid you offend anyone.

@CharZiyanah Yes, he wasn’t very convincing was he. I think he’d jump at the chance to come to United.

Cole Palmer’s body language is uncertain when asked about him staying at Chelsea.
Firstly, to find a baseline of his typical body language, I looked at other video’s of Cole. When confident and relaxed Cole rarely moves his upper shoulders and smiles evenly.
Here though, he replies ‘Yeah, hopefully’, and does a double shoulder shrug. Breaking eye-contact, he immediately looks over to the left ear side which is generally associated with audio recall (NLP eye accessing cues). This correlates with him recalling what he said in interview as he recalls his previous interview answer.
It’s interesting to me that he feels the need to recall his previous interview answer, if he genuinely is confident about staying at the club. Why not just speak from the heart rather than provide a managed response?
Just prior to this when the interviewer says it sounds like he won’t be leaving Chelsea, he does a small one sided smile which to me suggests he’s trying to respond positively but isn’t internally convinced.
The double shoulder shrug returns when he talks about ‘hopefully’ winning a lot at Chelsea. The choice of the word ‘hopefully’ in itself suggests a lack of confidence, especially when repeated.
I’m no body language expert. This is simply my personal interpretation having studied my favourites over at the @behaviorpanel

@AndyMitten @AlexStepney1 Always remember his save from Eusebio in the ‘68 final! Game changer

John Brooks was on VAR for Man Utd vs Leeds on and City vs Arsenal this week.
He decides to intervene and send Martinez off for violent conduct for an accidental hair pull but ignores Gabriel trying to head butt Haaland.
How is Licha getting a three match ban while Gabriel gets a yellow for that?
Clearly scared because the impact of Gabriel missing three games would be huge for Arsenal.

Would the @PGMOL_FA like to explain how a deliberate headbutt is not violent conduct but lightly tugging someone’s hair is?
It has been another weekend of farsical, contradictory refereeing. Refs have shown leniency or indifference on multiple occasions, failing to give what should be clear red cards, judging by the standards Manchester United players have been held to!
This inconsistency warrants urgent investigation. Similar offences prior to the ones ‘committed’ by Maguire and Martinez have warranted red cards, including the secondary ban for Maguire, yet have gone unpunished.
But fast forward to this weekend and these offences continue to occur without any repercussions.
Meanwhile, United continue on, disadvantaged by the absence of two key players. The discrimination is disgusting.

Mount really doesn’t want Bruno Fernandes to get suspended so he can break the Premier League assist record.
Busby Davey@UTDavey
Anyone see Mason Mount skyrocket the ball just to take a yellow card instead of Bruno Fernandes last night, why? 😭

Fun fact!
Paul Tierney was the referee when Antoine Semenyo’s hair was pulled no red card.
Paul Tierney was also the referee when Calvin Bassey’s hair was pulled no red card.
But when Paul Tierney officiated and Lisandro Martínez accidentally pulled Calvert hair red card!
Make it make sense 😡
