Koke Posted 25 August 2020 Share Posted 25 August 2020 Not a big fan of Simon Jordan but he's right about Man City & Pep. Pep is much bigger than Man City. And as I've always said, Man City have a small club mentality. Multiple titles and having world class players cannot cure that. Constant whining about the media, the refs, UEFA, the FA etc you would think they were Accrington Stanley with a budget of £2.50. ****ing man up and act like a big club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could apply that all these 'elite' clubs. Klopp is a master of the moan and Man U have been doing it since Ferguson moved in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually this moaning IMO from top clubs is more just the perception,from other fans because they get interviewed more and are usually need to be good/better at deflecting the Media attention,from their team or individual players..... Though we should not forget Sean Dyche ,he probably started moaning early for the practice hoping he would get a big club...

StriderHiryu Posted 25 August 2020 Share Posted 25 August 2020 This sounds genuinely mental: Harry Maguire’s legal team are requesting a postponement to the case, claiming they didn’t have sufficient time to prepare. Maguire’s lawyer Alexis Anagnostakis said the list of charges was finalised just yesterday, so he only received a hard copy of the file this morning - two hours ahead of today’s trial. He didn’t even have the time to discuss in depth with his clients, he says. Court is taking a break to consider this submission from Maguire legal team for an adjournment. The lawyer for Harry Maguire says he has in his possession a video from outside the police station on Mykonos which he says shows the three defendants on the night in state of “extreme agony” which he needs more time to verify. Defence lawyer getting very animated as he repeatedly asks for an adjournment and is repeatedly denied by the judge. the trial is now going ahead today - against the wishes of Harry Maguire’s defence team. Maguire’s defence claim two Albanian men approached his sister Daisy, they injected her with something and she immediately fainted. They called their van and asked to be driven to hospital, but driver took them to the police department. Defence say that when they arrived at police station they were assaulted by officers who kicked Harry on his leg telling him “your career is over”. The prosecution team say plain clothes police officers intervened to try calm the situation down but the “English men” did not calm down and one of the defendants said “****, **** the police” and one of the defendants punched an officer. Prosecution allege that once at the police station Harry Maguire said: “Do you know who I am? I am the captain of Manchester United, I am very rich, I can give you money, I can pay you, please let us go” Police officer (witness for prosecution) now being cross examined by Maguire lawyer. He says he didn’t see two Albanian men hitting the English group. He is asked by lawyer how, then, he would explain the serious injuries found on one of defendants by the medical examination. A second police officer called by prosecution offers a similar story to the first. He claims that at the police station Harry Maguire said to him: “please, let me go, I am very rich, I can pay, I am the leader of Manchester United.” Another police officer now giving evidence. He says during handcuffing Harry Maguire pushed him hard and he fell back hurting his back. Also says he was injured on the leg. He says he was injected with painkillers and took the next day off to recover. https://twitter.com/marthakelner/status/1298203304846131201 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachhere Posted 25 August 2020 Share Posted 25 August 2020 So this whole thing just took a bit of a twist didn't it.. It seems like the Greek authorities are really going for him here in not allowing the defence extra time to prepare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 25 August 2020 Share Posted 25 August 2020 The more this rumbles on the less straightforward it seems. Doesn't seem to be a case of a slap on the wrist and sweep it under the carpet. As amusing as it is it feels a bit wrong revelling in his misery but if he has tried to be all Billy big bollocks it's nice to see that they've not pandered to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 25 August 2020 Share Posted 25 August 2020 If all of the Albanian injection stuff is fabricated then he deserves everything he gets. Cant help but think they’ve come up with this as it’s something that can’t be proven to be made up. There’s a reason they would say Albanian and not Greek... as they know blaming a Greek would look bad on them for tourism. Blaming a foreigner for crimes is common in corrupt countries. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume fine and suspended sentence or banning him from returning to Greece for a period. Would mean any greek team united face, he couldn't play.
