Has anyone pointed out that link to PB. If Tony wanted to sue for libel (I think he could afford a much better lawyer than some Twitting nerd) he could win enough to buy us a striker!

Certainly is very bizarre, I seem to remember this vaguely being brought up after the play off semi v Palace in 2013 and the entire blog was taken down. Very Strange account.

Largely because they are different people I guess
See you next season.....
Hello. I come in peace! Congratulations on your historic win against us, you do right to enjoy it.
Howler, I’ve been genuinely shocked by the childish vitriol on this thread. To answer one poster - I’ve been a MCFC season ticket holder since 1968, so I hope I qualify for a reasoned point of view.
I came to Brighton to watch us win the title - we all had a great day, thanks in large part to the superb attitude of Albion fans, but also the Real Ale and best fish n chips in the sunshine- oh, and special mention to the fantastic disco band !
Both home and away we’ve always found the fans to be sociable to share a beer and reasoned point of view. We have always appreciated the style of play Albion try to play. Sadly, thanks to what I’ve read on this thread, all that now appears to have changed.
Let’s go straight to the officiating ‘issue’. Having been alarmed at the ineptitude of the Atwell and Moss (VAR) I sought opinions from supporters of other clubs - we, like you disagreed on the cancelo sending off - let’s be honest, it could have been seen three different ways, and I still maintain welbeck kicked the back of cancelos leg, but tbh that wasn’t the big issue for us. What’s concerning, and should concern ALL fans, is the incompetence of VAR. to put a bit of balance to it; Brighton were denied a blatant handball penalty. The Brighton winger should have seen a straight red for his assault on gundogan - totally unnecessary given the game was of no importance.
Jesus WAS fouled for a penalty. Foden was ‘washing-lined’ in the throat as a petulant reaction to his dancing around the defender before scoring. Constant niggling fouls, kicking backs of legs that went unpunished. That’s with my blue tinted glasses on of course, and we’re definitely not premadonnas, and as PEP said ‘WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT SEASON’.
What can’t be denied is that Atwell was yet again out of his depth. It’s his first season and he bottled it infront of fans. Moss was VAR, he’s been awful for years whoever he refs. we had the reverse combo earlier in the season with same ineptitude shown.
It’s not just MCFC - What about Mike Deane at the WBA game - a self confessed Liverpool fan who was banned from officiating their games for several years UNTIL that game, and makes what dermot Gallagher said was “an unusual mistake for a seasoned referee ; in allowing the quick free kick that they scored from. The disallowed goal is debatable too IMO. Leicester won’t be playing in the CL because Liverpool, ‘somehow’ won. THAT MATTERS TO THEM. There have been countless examples this season for ALL clubs - and it starts to look more like corruption involved as opposed to ineptitude. But I rather thought we, as supporters, were all in this together, but the idiotic comments in this thread, suggests otherwise.
And, while we’re at it, the MEN is biased towards United, not City - the fans here don’t buy it, so don’t quote that rag! VAR issues should be of concern to us all, whoever you support.
So, thanks for listening. It’s a shame after being supportive of what your manager/club are trying to do, that after reading the garbage written in this thread, that me and my fellow supporters, now feel very differently towards your club and its fans- and that’s a shame...........see you next season.cheerio.

well.....i'm not really sure what Peps plan is with De Bruyne , apart from completely scuppering my dream team efforts i doubt the guy will be match fit ....he probably is wondering what a ball looks like ffs......for one of the best players in the world Pep has locked him up .....money down the drain again ...last season i bet on football i think.

Even with what happened, I will be struggling with that
I'm afraid it isn't as simple as that - they are playing Chelsea, remember, and the only club as repugnant as Chelsea is Leeds.

Personally, I will be hoping City humiliate Chelsea. A few internet twats taking some justifiable disappointment to ridiculous extremes is not enough to swing that.

This. A club owned by a corrupt oil magnate and the other is owned by....
Despite the recent spat with some City fans, can't get behind Chelsea to win.

Feel sorry for them really. They've had their club taken over by a sportswashing PetroState.

City fans are entitled tossers. Looking at the Manchester evening news, it seems even 'respected' journalists are in on the act. All moans and groans about a match that they simultaneously can't bear to have lost but which was also completely unimportant. No one mentioned the definite penalty for hand ball that we were denied. There is a reason i was one of the few booing as we did a guard of honour. They exemplify everything that is wrong with football. They even make Leeds fans seem good. I will be happy if they leave to play in their own crappy league but preferably hope their owners sell up and they go the way of poor old Pompey, never to return to the sunny uplands of the PL.
If nothing else this thread should remind us of where we came from. Since The semis though I’ve gone off their fans and went to Maine Road many times and found them goods fans.... Just shows supporters not to become Billy Boots when their time comes. Now back to Tinpot Reading.

I think that because it had the official Albion twitter account hashtagged, whoever manages our social media will be aware.

Would someone be kind enough to do the sums:
What has their 83 points cost them to buy - £££ per point - using most recent squad cost / value
And then compare that with our 41 points / squad value to calculate how much each point has cost us
