Beat me to it! 🤣

Political pony? WTF! He was just commenting on the point that had already been raised about the lowering of editorial standards at the Times. There was absolutely no need for that kind of abuse.

Stay classy Duck.

Even with the misspelling of morale, the statement is clearly still valid anyway.

Exactly, which is why the punishment has to be proportionate to the crime. we broke a rule, yes. But we gained no significant advantage from it (like benefitting from having players we couldn't actually afford over an entire season), therefore a huge fine and expulsion will be excessive and they know we will appeal it, throwing everything into utter chaos. As much as the EFL may want to make an example of us, the reality is they can't because of the total mess they would be creating for themselves if they do.

I thought about doing the same when people were talking about odds of 8/1 the other day. But knowing my luck with betting, I'd have lumped on only for Boro to replace us in the final and then get spanked by Hull.

Tonda Wonka.

It certainly does feel a bit like Groundhog day on here at the moment.

No doubt the PGMOL will come out next week and apologise for the error, but refuse to give Havertz a retrospective ban because it was already dealt with on the pitch.

It's just a repeat of the rumour that was flying around on Friday. It's bollocks. Seeing as the panel haven't even convened to decide the punishment yet, and won't do until tomorrow, you can safely ignore anyone who claims to be ITK about this.

Looks more like Fernando Alonso.

Who you gonna call!

You've won the internet today with this. Great work Mods - any chance you can replace the @Miltonaggro post with this one?

We wouldn't realistically be able to have our appeal heard until the full written report has been made available - after the final. So on that basis, the likelihood of Boro replacing us in the final on Saturday, with the looming possibility that our expulsion could be overturned later on appeal, would appear to be extremely slim to none.

On a similar note - people who say "One hundred percent!" when what they actually just mean is "yes".
