Robert Huth appears to have been charged by the FA for playing Cock or No Cock on Twitter.

WTF???

Ander's Brevik's cultural marxism in action.

I know I'm bleating on about freedom of speech in loads of threads now - but this is the reality of it and examples are everywhere.

28 million for Bony then. Makes you wonder why city got rid of negredo.

Perhaps negredo wasn't going to sign again as he didn't play that much

 

[Himse]

Bye Bye Wilf, bit part role behind Aguero from now on! But for 100k a week, why the hell not.

 

[Raven]

There is no doubt he is excellent...but 28mil?! Not so sure.

 

[Raven]

Rumours of 480 mil Man City deal for Messi. Firstly he isn't worth that, nobody is. Secondly, how the fuck would that play with FFP rules?

 

[Bodhi]

Lulz, as if City care about FFP. They'll just sign him to Melbourne then loan him to City or something like that.

 

[Vladamir]

Torres scores after 2 minutes at the Bernabeu, disappointing he never really got a chance at Chelsea.

It was an absolute dinger as well. Lovely finish.

 

[Himse]

Make that two goals!

 

[MrBic]

The world will end soon!

You say that as if they've managed to stay inside FFP rules so far

 

[Raven]

There is going a bit over and there is balls deep over

 

[Embattle]

I don't reckon any club could realistically afford to splash £500m on one player, even if you split it over many years it would just cost too much and as good as he is he isn't worth that kind of money.

 

[Himse]

We'll never get the old Messi back I don't think anyway.

 

[Vladamir]

Go on Dave!

I thought you were talking about Azpi-whatsit.

It's all the merchandising aground it that gets the money back

 

[Raven]

Messi isn't worth that in merchandising.

 

[Embattle]

Fuck me Swansea, I was expecting something harder than this.

 

[Ch3tan]

Jesus, will you please stop.

 

[caLLous]

Officials are so fucking bad, oh my days. Vertonghen was in his own half when the ball was played to him and he was flagged offside. Do they even know the rules?!

 

[caLLous]

Seriously the worst offside call I've ever seen.

 

[CorNokZ]

It is because you're watching it on Fox. Americans got no clue when it comes to offside rules

 

[Raven]

I didn't see it but if that was called as offside that is retarded.

 

[caLLous]

I wasn't watching it on Fox, that's just some random screencap doing the rounds. That pass happened entirely in our half therefore it cannot be offside. Foy was right there too. I just watched more shit refereeing in the Saints match as well, what's wrong with them all??

 

[Raven]

Even if it wasn't in your half, the defender is playing him onside by about 5 yards.

 

[caLLous]

Actually, it turns out there's some second-to-last-man rule (it came in in 1990 and I genuinely had no idea it existed - page 37 of this pdf) that means that, had Vertonghen been in their half when the ball was passed with only that one defender ahead of him he WOULD have been offside because Pantilimon had gone up for the previous set piece. I never knew there were 2 players on the other team taken into account for it to be offside because the keeper is always taken for granted in that situation.

ANYWAY, all of that is moot because it happened in our half. If that had been a game-deciding goal ruled out then Chris Hoy would've been getting hell on twitter tonight!

 

[caLLous]

You have to feel it's only a matter of time before City score.
