Could easily have been the frustration of a player knowing he might not win a major trophy again.
If he'd been in form the last few weeks we might have
Funny how players cover their mouths from lip readers but when we have footage of them not doing so no-one can read the lips

Granted, but it's 12 years ago. City hadn't started to completely dominate and were quite flawed in winning that title too. United were also so used to winning that it was almost passé at that point.

There's no way that the more modern United, after a long period in mediocrity, go close and lose out narrowly to the cheats and don't massively kick off about it now. It's a completely different situation and context to 2012.

Though you are right when you say we loved it then and we'd probably love it again if we're being honest.  Despite City being the worst thing that ever happened to the game.
I don't mind saying I enjoyed that afternoon, years of Ferguson and United made me want them to suffer and the fact that it was City made it better. It was a good game as well, the only exciting game I can remember City being involved in the PL.

I'm well over it now, nobody really knew what was going on then and they still had players like Lescott, Balotelli, Richards, Milner so it did not quite feel like they were cheating at that stage (front stage that is)

Ornstein dropped in the Athletic Podcast a few days ago that Kudus has a release clause. Probably more than the £38m they paid for him but not near Paqueta's £80m release clause. I'd guess somewhere in the £60-65m range. Edwards a massive fan. I would be very surprised if we didn't revisit that this summer and test West Ham.

Damn that Mane was good.

Or the teams that are not sportswashed to say fuck this and go back to the EFL. I cannot see the Arsenal owners putting up with this much longer, nor FSG, Levy, nor Villas owners. I can also see Ineos not being happy so could drag Utd away too.
It's sort of why I'd prefer City to win the league, it's meaningless (it also means we've won more than Arsenal this season unlike how it feels)

That’s a real shame, was looking forward to seeing him against GDC this week at Punchestown.

Very sad

How would you enforce an outdoor ban?

You could start with what happens indoors. Get non-smokers to point out to smokers that you can't do that here or anywhere. Parents currently do it at most sporting fields that have bans now. Then you have police issuing fines just like they do now for people smoking pot in public.

Force the cigarette companies to make a 100% biodegradable product. Price them at Australian prices ($50 for pack of 20). Ban smoking at all outdoor locations (only in households without children being present), reduce overseas travellers allowance to 25 cigarettes per adult.

What makes Arsenal so good is how good they are out of possession. I remember Arteta in his early days calling us the gold standard off the ball in an interview after we battered them.

For whatever reason, we’re not that anymore and haven’t been in a while, with the make up of the squad and first XI reflecting that. We don’t seem hungry to defend and harry and hustle like we used to… hopefully that comes back. It felt like there was a clear departure from our ‘be the worst team to play against’ model after won the title.

I'll keep banging the drum, getting consistent team selection and our best players on the pitch regularly has to be the aim for next season.

We've not been able to build trust or partnerships in any area of the pitch this season
