I really doubt they'll do anything meaningful to City. Those guys know how to cheat.

The way they are dragging their feet with announcing the outcome, I'm starting to feel the same way. If it were so cut and dry, they'd be following a similar fate to Juve.

the only thing that saved them so far is that a corrupt (2 of the 3 judge panel had Citeh ties) voted 2-1 that Citeh's cheatig was 'time-barred' from being upheld

the neutral judge said no, not time barred and they should be punished

the 2 Citeh related judges said yes, the infractions werre time-barred and not allowed to be acted upon for punishment

ther easiest way to avoid the Conference League again is to win it this season

then we at least (at a minimum) have Europa league next season

and can still sneak into the CL as well via 5th or better in the final EPL table (or even 6th, IF Citeh are smashed by the PL for rule breaking)

I know.. but I am not super confident we can beat Betis or Fiorentina any day or night. They are not thay bad teams, and we are few injuries away from total disaster. So losing that and finishing 7th is possible..

I will never understand why a ball that doesnt hit the ground outsides the lines is called out

like a curling corner that is ruled 'out of play', or a long pass up the sideline that curls out and then back in

as long as the player's body is not on the ground passed the lines, they can reach back into play (even if some of their body has crossed the inviible vertical line) and not be adjudged 'out of play'

why is the ball (in the air) ruled out?

it's diabolical IMHO

You can always thank Arsenal for choking. The fact they've won the same number of league games as City despite everything sums them up. Liverpool will hopefully have nothing to play for when they face us.

And hopefully we will play like we have something to play for..

7 years is a long time without a league win...
