:) Well, because it's obviously discriminatory to have a rule like the one you suggest which bars people from particular countries from owning a club. The first hint of a legal challenge and the whole thing would collapse Fit and proper owners teste have been talked about for ages but never...

No such thing as cheating in football. There's only being clever, or cute or using all your experience

So a businessperson couldn't own a club on the basis of what country he / she was from? Yeh, that one will last a long time

You can't totally ignore the irony that the Premier League, an institution created 30 years ago to horde power and wealth away from the majority of clubs and the grassroots, is now under mortal attack from a small number of clubs within trying to horde power and wealth away from it. Just...

And it's hard to enforce a fit and proper owners test, when with some clubs, it's increasingly difficult to determine who the actual owners are

Is that what we should be aiming for though? PL hegemony over other leagues? It is desirable or healthy that low ranking PL clubs can lord it over euro challenging La Liga or Serie A clubs by taking their players at will? What is most important in my opinion is the overall health of the game...

Yes, it would. And I think we're going to get a chance to see how much better off the league will be next season when they are banned from the competition

We cannot of course ignore the narrow, but oh so tantalising possibility that Facu's goals fire Leicester to safety at the expense of another relegation candidate. I wonder if reading this you have the same club in mind that I do

Goes a bit beyond not very nice in my view. But hey ho this is a moderated forum, so guess it's all ok Sure it was just a joke though. Banter can very easily be misinterpreted if you don't get all the in jokes

One thing I don't get about this process, is that there were these clubs who were witness for City and clubs who were witness for the Premier League. What were they witnessing? What is it they can have observed? This is surely just a procedure whereby City were testing some rules?

Igor hasn't impressed me massively. He did an alright job at the weekend. But I've watched enough football over the years to have seen plenty of fringe players have remarkable breakthrough performances. New coach, new season, new team mates new playing style. Whatever it is, there's a chance...

Is it because when people tell you they love you, you reply "I know"?

Definitely played a significant amount on the left for England

Unless Leicester really kick on and knock us out of a Champions League position. Have the club even considered this possibility?!?!?!

When we were a small time operation. It's a bit concerning that players too ill to eat can play now. You'd hope Yasin would be honest with the club. But you'd also hope any dip in performance would be picked up in training

Great to see Facu is doing so well at Leicester and great that he's been called up for Argentina. But like many i'm still wondering where he fits in with the log jam of forwards and attacking midfielders we've bought into the club. If I were a betting man I'd say summer sale to a mid ranked PL...

Have rollerskating serving wenches in Hooters tops arrived for their first shift?

I need to get on board with this sort of, very 2024, line of logic

Hmmm, in that state, how did he get on the pitch in a pro football game? Did the coaches know?

I guess the thing about the Loch Ness monster, is that unless they an individual, which just happened to be the last of it's species can live for hundreds or thousands of years, there would have to be a whole community of monsters there, producing young and hunting very large prey. Something...
