The bus from the black country parks up at the Etihad with Wolves relying on a set-piece & their keeper once again.

Doesn't matter as Citeh raise their game to a different level & smash in three goals in the last thirteen minutes to cull the beleaguered Wolves :-D

Says to himself "OK I guess I'll drop these 50 million pound players today and bring in these 60-70 million pound players instead. God do I have it tough".
Yes but it's wonderful to watch :)

Dreading our visit to the Etihad on the 10th April, I'll just sit back & admire the brilliance from both sides.

Justice served, just shows what can be done when you have quality players.

Justice served indeed Ian.

Wolves were lucky against us twice, tonight they got their comeuppance.

There's no real difference between Wolves & a Allardyce team.

Anyone agree that "Financial Fair Play" is a bit of a misnomer ...?

Team (squad) limits... 250 million quid...(Prem varying for lower leagues)

Salary caps (Team limit)... 50/60 million quid...

Could reduce ticket prices for the fans... more reliance on sponsorship/advertising...

Any superstars/egoists who refuse to play within the salary cap... show them where the dole queue is ...

Get back to the beautifull fair game...

Winning leagues and cups would still be the same ...but more open

I know what you are saying but that takes a global agreement.

Oh I am under no illusion it will ever happen, not with the greed involved... but it is only going to get worse... that Euro super league will happen, eventually, if something is not done to redress the balance mate .

Since when has sport not been about greed.

In tbe early days games were arranged do people could bet on the outcome.

THAT is what drives the modern game too.

Absolutely disgusting Velo whilst NHS staff, dentists & care homes had to beg for their supply of PPE.

Getting back to football the two clubs I love to watch are the not so wealthy Leeds United & the extremely affluent Manchester City.

I'll probably watch one of the teatime games today & tomorrow but it wouldn't bother me if missed them.
