BARNES OUT
I'm here. I'm not counting my chickens, this is City we're talking about here.

BBC Sport - Tottenham apologise for tweet mocking Liverpool's collapse
They also apologised for liking your vine, and made out like they'd been hacked!
A bit gutted for Liverpool actually, wanted it to go down to the last day, and the football they've played almost all season deserved the trophy. Going to need a miracle if they're going to win the league now though.

So City are apparently being fined £50m. Where does this money go? EUFA back pockets?

It's a dreadful idea, but I'm not surprised crap like this ends up being talked about, given some of the experts on the FA's Commission.
I mean, Danny Mills, Glenn Hoddle, and Rio Ferdinand are terrible when talking about a game of football, so I doubt they have any understanding or appreciation of the structure and inner workings of the Football League itself. I mean none of them, so far as I can see, have any meaningful playing (or other) experience or involvement with lower league sides, which would obviously be the ones most seriously affected by these proposals.
And as for Greg Dyke...well... The less said about him the better.

What's galling is the fact that the proposals, on the face of things, aren't supported by any real evidence whatsoever. The only justification seems to be "Spain has a similar system and look how good their players are". There doesn't seem to have been any investigation into how well such a system would/could be introduced here and the knock-on effects it could have. It also sounds as if none of the lower league clubs have been consulted about this, which is madness.
Really hate the FA.

Caught Danny Mills on some program on BT Sport a while back and he actually spoke quite well IMO.

Well, I can't even express how awful that idea about B teams is, so I won't try.
Seems the England cricket squad went to watch United tonight, I'd have refused point-blank myself. Can't stand Prawns.
Oh and Phil Jones injured, can't say I'm gutted, but obviously horrible for the kid.
