Quote from: Risso on May 23, 2024, 03:36:49 PMIt's just a point in time. Like it or not, the Premier League is 32 years old now which means you'd need to be around 40 to even remember the old first division days. He could have said "highest finish in 30 years" but "joint highest finish in Premier League history is just as correct and relevant. The point of his piece was to emphasise how long it's been since we finished 4th, he wasn't attempting to write off our history before 1992.Another point in time that should be used as a reference point is 2003. Since Abramovic pumped his dirty money into Chelsea and latterly we have the oil state clubs everything has changed. Trophies are almost impossible to win now and we have the FA Cup final on Saturday which I want both teams to lose. It's like being forced to choose having my foreskin stapled to the floor or having my nuts shaved with a cheese grater.

When you're contextualising an achievement like breaking the top 4, I'd say it makes far more sense to do it in a Premier League era, as the game has changed at such a pace. We're all accountants now.

If you can find my foreskin, I'll staple it to the floor. May be in a pickle jar somewhere.

I didnt realise that the burden of proof for Man City at CAS was "comfortable satisfaction". No wonder they got away with it with such nebulous garbage more akin to a Trip Advisor review than a legal burden.When the time eventually comes for them to face the music here, it will be on balance of probabilities. Any casual reading of some of the documentary evidence would indicate to me years worth of hiding equity as sponsorship and should they be my client and wish to rely on witness evidence they did at CAS, my eyebrows might just rise so high they'd fall off my head. It would be useful to reacquaint myself with changes to CPR 81 if I was sat the other side of the argument too, in the event the witness evidence was relied upon.
