EPL Man City charged

This is just another stage in their process to stifle the charges. There will be more lawyers employed on this than at the Post Office enquiry. Particularly liked the "a tyranny of the majority" line, attacking the whole premise of the premier league setup as being the envious majority unfairly targetting the successful.

Pity the Football Governance Bill didn't get through in time.
 
Man City complaining about financial regulation.

They want it removed so what, they can win 10 titles in a row? 20?

I hate the PL and everything it represents.

Wolves fans not renewing STs in record numbers due to price hikes and VAR.

It's supposed to be what we want to get there. Football is well and truly broken.

Premier League is just a league for the telly and tourists.
 
Did anyone see the "scenes" when Man City won the title by the way?

Quite genuinely, I've seen our support go more mad about beating Crawley Town away. And I'm not joking.

Soulless drivel

My thoughts exactly...

On the back of our incredible day and joyous celebrations it was even more stark as to how flat it was. At their own ground too!!

From the clips I saw, the parade looked just as flat.

How sad to not be able to feel the sort of emotions we felt.
 
I think sustained success over a long period of time removes some of the joy from it, that’s just inevitable.

I personally don’t really see the difference between Man City spending money given to them by a country and Man Utd spending money given to them from hundreds of thousands of Asian and Indian fans buying cheaply-made replica shirts… both are technically good for our economy, but bad for footballing competition…

The Constable injury time winner to put us five points clear at the top of the Conference? We probably went more bonkers that day than Man City fans have at any point since their "Aguerooooooo" moment.......

As an aside, was just looking up our team that day, and saw that Jamie Cook was starting. I had completely forgotten that he was part of our squad for the conference promotion season......but just couldn't get into the matchday squad most of the year. Whatever happened to him? My main memory of him (cleverly bringing things back full circle, and therefore keeping this thread on topic ;)) is scoring at Maine Road when we beat Man City!

About ten years ago I bumped into him at Heythrop Park Golf Club (doesn't FK own that!?). He was the golf pro there at the time. Anyway we got chatting and we reminisced about his goal v Luton. Nice bloke and he seemed genuinely pleased to be talking to an Oxford fan. How times have changed though from using the 12th man fund for signing him to where we find ourselves now.
 
My main memory of Jamie Cook is him going past Desailly at the Manor a week after I had been chatting to him at Fifth Avenue, that and calling him a cheating c**t when he dived for Henry Box against Oxford boys in a school match, to be fair I did foul him, although the penalty he scored was only enough to cancel out my (very rare) opening goal and take it to a replay which we won, goes to show that (not really) cheaters never prosper.

You don’t get those sort of memories supporting Man City.

Maybe we should do that again.

If every season ticket is anywhere between£50 and £100 less than expected… just donate the difference into a player fund 🙂

Around £400k - £500k right there .
