Man City beats Liverpool 3-0 amid financial breaches controversy

I've been largely of the view that the harshest punishments Man City face should be directed at the owners and protect fans. But you'll struggle to find many who support that stance after the full-throated backing for Khaldoon et al in the away end today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxyt...

Difficult to analyse results and performance concerning Manchester City while the Premier League is stuck in this purgatory over their weapons-grade cheating for nearly a decade. Verdict from Anfield on a strange old day. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...

I have a theory: that football enables people, usually men, who never developed an emotional vocabulary (beyond rage) to feel things in the safety of a closed-loop system. And Man City have broken it.

The ‘statement’ is ‘we cheated for years to get the money and status to allow us to attract all the best players’.

Brewery I'm at has Man City vs Liverpool replay on. Got to celebrate all over again

Man City: “We did nothing wrong. We’ll prove it.” Also Man City: reportedly explores a settlement before the verdict Nothing to see here. 👀💀

I think its a real shame that the Man City guilty verdict hasnt galvanised football fans across the UK to demand a better system which is effective, transparent & promotes competition & innovation. Instead everybody is just shitposting like normal, incl me.

Before the red card: Liverpool (0.92) 0-0 (0.16) Man City

I can't take any credit for it but I heard the line "even the Man City bananas were inflated" #shamcity #Arsenal #AFC #Gunners

You can see from Maresca’s press conference how important it was for Man City to hire a new frontman before the verdict came out. He can, rightly, give the appearance of someone totally ignorant of what’s gone on.

Listening to Man City fans trying to justify the club's massive cheating on @bbc5live.bsky.social is actually hilarious. Some of the excuses, and re-interpretation of events over the last decade, are comedy gold. #CheatingCity #SCAM #MCFC #ManCity

Ah fuck Liverpool are playing at 2:30am but it’s against Man City, the first game after the guilty verdict on the charges, at Anfield. Right, off to bed

Man City players and fans had every right to celebrate yesterday. Totally understand that. But, fuck me, it looked shit to non-partisan eyes.

Funny seeing Liverpool make the same mistakes as last year in the summer transfer window with the same results (a 3-0 loss to Man City)

There were just two minutes and 37 seconds between Ryan Gravenberch been sent off for Liverpool and Erling Haaland putting Manchester City 1-0 ahead. Our data-led match report from Anfield: theanalyst.com/articles/liv...
