Almost a total nightmare for the whingers that is SURE to become an article in The Guardian about how "depressing" it is to have these 4:
City, PSG, Chelsea and RM

Manchester City v PSG semi-final suggests darker side of sport’s fairytales
Champions League clash could be described as sportswashing derby with rich royal family owners going head to head

These cockroaches take turns to crawl out of the Guardian dung heap and spray their effluent. I shudder to think I once subscribed to Blizzard.

I’ve just read a quote from Pep over the last day or two... “There’s not much history in this club, but we are starting to build it.”

Can anyone link me to the original quote? I’m sure he’s not come out with that bollocks, and it’s been dissected to get to that, but I can’t find the interview anywhere.

Cheers mate. I can’t find the “there’s not much history in this club” part and I’m hoping it wasn’t said because Pep should know better.

I know what he means, he means specifically in the CL there’s not much history. But he knows full well what the media are like, so to give them that sound bite is silly.

He said that or something very similar in his post match interview on Wednesday. TBH, I was only half listening, heard that and thought I'd misheard.
In fairness I think he was talking about history in the CL

I found the video, but I think you'll need a bt account to play it.

He actually says "It's the second time we've got to the semi finals, it's not much history in our club here, but we start to build it."

He was obviously talking about history in the CL league, but it'll no doubt get twisted into something else.

Brilliant, thanks PB. Yeah it’s already being twisted, that’s what I wanted to see the full context. He’s done nothing wrong there, just the media scum as usual

Hearing rumours City are joining the rags, dippers, spuds, Chavs and Arsenal to form a new super league, anybody else heard anything?

Just got this off the beeb -:

Premier League condemns Super League proposal
The Premier League has just released a statement criticising English clubs who want to sign up for a European Super League (which reportedly includes Manchester United).

"The Premier League condemns any proposal that attacks the principles of open competition and sporting merit which are at the heart of the domestic and European football pyramid," it says.

"Fans of any club in England and across Europe can currently dream that their team may climb to the top and play against the best. We believe that the concept of a European Super League would destroy this dream."


Now a joint statement from several different official organisations criticining these new proposals...

"UEFA, the English Football Association and the Premier League, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and LaLiga, and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and Lega Serie A have learned that a few English, Spanish and Italian clubs may be planning to announce their creation of a closed, so-called Super League," it reads.
And there’s more off FIFA/EUFA
"If this were to happen, we wish to reiterate that we – UEFA, the English FA, RFEF, FIGC, the Premier League, LaLiga, Lega Serie A, but also FIFA and all our member associations - will remain united in our efforts to stop this cynical project, a project that is founded on the self-interest of a few clubs at a time when society needs solidarity more than ever."

[belleebee]

The Guardian quotes the Times as reporting 5 English clubs have signed up, City being the only member of the 'big six' not to have done so.

We'd better not have anything to do with this whatsoever.

I hope so. I think if we tell them to do one we’ll come out of this looking very good in the media.

I will be disappointed if we join the shower of cunts that tried their best to fuck us over with ffp, we should distance ourselves from this shower

We will be involved if it happens
There is too much money involved for us not to be

[aaron bond]

We have signed up now according to Martin Samuel:

Shameful behaviour from all 6 clubs.

[Harry Dowd scored]

This could be massive, it’s timed just before UEFA announcement of change in CL format, I always thought any player who played in such a breakaway league would put their international career in jeopardy

[Dameerto]

If this is true it's a mistake by the club.
It's worth mentioning the new adustments to the Champion's League are supposed to be announced on Monday, maybe this is an attempt to influence it?

[PeterParker]

Fuck UEFA.
But also the other 5 snakes that would love to see extinct.
