BBC match page: I'm going to surprise you. Bruno Fernandes is down on the ground whinging. This time he was fouled to be fair. You never know with him.

 

Hahahaha

Someone at BBC Football is getting a verbal warning.

I've only seen that still but if it's the same it's unacceptable and shouldn't just be brushed off as one of those things like all the rest. It's bordering on match fixing now.

 

Forest should have legitimate beef.

I think the difference is that Varane doesn't have any impact on the goal.

He's stopping a defender from making a run towards the goal/ball.

They were only guessing that Endo's block was.

Seen loads of these trophy haul lists the last couple of days and the mancs still saying they've won the most trophies. Even counting charity shields as trophies including the ones they've shared.

 

Then they say the Super cup and world club championship aren't really trophies but for some reason include them in their haul.

 

According to our Champion's Wall we are on:

 

League titles- 19

FA Cups - 8

League Cups - 10

European Cup/CL - 6

Europa/UEFA Cup - 3

European Super Cup - 4

World Club Cup - 1 

 

Total 51

 

Man Utd 

 

League titles - 20

FA Cup - 12

League Cup - 6

European Cup/CL- 3

Cup Winners Cup - 1

Europa/Uefa Cup - 1

European Super Cup - 1

Intercontinental Cup - 1

World Club Championship - 1

 

Total - 46

 

The rest of Europe treat the Super Cup and WCC as major trophies whereas the Charity Shield was always just a pre season friendly to open the footy season in August. It's never been treated as a Super Cup like in Italy or Germany and has been shared in the past when the game ended in a draw.

To be fair it’s boss winning the charity shield.

They just don't get it do they....

 

John Textor, the Crystal Palace co-owner, has attacked the Premier League’s spending rules for stopping smaller clubs closing the gap on bigger rivals.

The current model on financial sustainability is designed to stop clubs with ambition challenging the so-called Big Six, said Textor, who also owns Lyon.

“It doesn’t matter if you have a billion dollars of cash in a wheelbarrow, you’re not allowed to spend it,” said Textor after Telegraph Sport reported on Monday how other top-tier clubs were also in favour of relaxing rules.

The American, who also owns clubs in Brazil, Belgium and the United States, was addressing reporters after 20 top-flight clubs met separately at a nearby London hotel to discuss potential reforms to profit and sustainability rules [PSR].

Textor, who had earlier appeared at the FT Business of Football Summit, took issue with recent punishments handed out to clubs. Everton have had six points docked, reduced from 10 after an appeal. The club is now set for a hearing in relation to new charges, while Nottingham Forest are also the subject of a PSR complaint. “It’s clear that (the rules are) built to make sure that clubs which do not drive significant revenues cannot catch up,” said Textor.

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, he said, “has plenty of money to fund his team but he’s not allowed to”. “If he spends too much and does what the fans want, somebody comes along and docks him points? That’s not right.”

As it stands, the PSRs do not permit clubs to exceed losses of £105 million over three seasons. “Financial fair play is a fraud of a term, to say it’s about sustainability,” Textor said.
“Sustainability should be about the quality of your balance sheet, not ratios against your P&L [profit and loss]. There’s nobody that actually thinks that makes sense.

“We have got three billionaires in our ownership group (at Palace), maybe more. We’re not allowed to spend at the level of teams that are in the top six.”

Palace shareholder and general partner Josh Harris, Textor added, “has no trouble with money, he just bought an NFL team [the Washington Commanders], he owns the [NBA franchise the Philadelphia] 76ers.

“But (Palace chairman) Steve (Parish) is not allowed to go out and spend that kind of money, he gets docked points and sent to the second division,” Textor added.

IMO european super cups, that intercontinental cup nonsense and the world club cup shouldn't count, and of course the charity shield should not either.

 

Can't see any measure though now that sees the mancs ahead of us even if count mickey mouse trophies.

Leverkusen can go 10pts clear if they win
