I think that's fair.

It goes well beyond Liverpool if any wrongdoing there. But honestly the PL looks pretty stupid about all of this really.

It's actually all a bit depressing, when you factor in the faux integrity a lot of these managers behave with, yet you soon see the other side.

I think the RS agenda was barely camouflaged last week when they referred the press to "suspected" positive results. Integrity would've suggested that "suspected" implied because of symptoms.... which of course none of them had as they weren't positive, Arnold apart.

Even the Special Dispensation Febreze spray can't rid the stench which envelopes their duplicity.

Obviously a gaping chasm of a loophole and every club has taken advantage of it from City last season at Xmas/New Year which set the precedent to this season in the same time frame where clubs repeated the same exact action.

Look at Leicester twice in 3 weeks shows how pathetic and easy the rules are to manipulate.

To late to punish a club when 80% of the PL have used the loophole to their favour.

Baffled why Chelsea were far to honest though, their honesty ruined their title aspirations while other clubs bent the rules to their advantage.

No other club apart from that absolute apocalypse that you support have outright faked tests though.

You melt.

Love the 'but what about them and the completely irrelevant thing happening over there' defence.

I can just imagine in court that opening statement for the defence, of any given charge would be:

'Thank you your honour' [pause for dramatic effect]. 'MANCHESTER CITY', [sits back down]

Typical Liverpool fan reaction. Deny, deny, deny, and when that fails, shift the blame, and when that fails, claim everyone is doing it.
It's never your fault.

He is right though…. The standard chartered money laundering case where they have been proven guilty (I think) has gone very quiet.

It's a separate issue. And he's just trying to deflect.

Its the faux superiority and hypocrisy that people find objectionable from your manager.

Take advantage of exemptions around use of inhalers, questionable rejuvenation cocktails and covid regulations all you want but dont fake indignation at other clubs doing similar.
