#EastEnders is so depressing. Every character has a problem. No wonder I stopped watching it 20 years ago. I need a lift! Bring on #TheTraitors

Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards CLASHED over Manchester City’s guilty verdict, and Carragher was right to get annoyed.
Micah is still in denial — the same denial a lot of ex-players and fans are stuck in. They keep treating the charges as if they’re still “allegations” or y’re not. An independent commission has already found Manchester City guilty. That’s a fact.
On @CBSSportsGolazo, Carragher correctly pointed out the reality:
“Right now they’re guilty. They’ve been found guilty.”
Micah pushed back with “it’s accusations”.
Carragher, clearly frustrated, angrily fired back:
“IT’S NOT ACCUSATIONS! THEY’VE BEEN FOUND GUILTY!”
The process took years. The club faced 115 charges of systematically breaching financial rules over the best part of a decade. They were found guilty on 114 of them. Blatant, deliberate cheating.
Yes, City are appealing. They insist they’re innocent and that the decision is flawed. That is their right. But an appeal does not wipe the slate clean in the meantime. As things stand, they have been found guilty as charged. The status is guilty until and unless that is overturned.
Pretending it’s still open or merely “allegations” or “accusations” is just refusing to accept what’s already been decided.

🚨📺 The way Kate Abdo introduced Micah Richards on CBS Sports... 😂💀
"For now, he is still a Premier League and FA Cup winner... until he has to mail those winners medals back to somebody at Stoke City or Manchester United." 💀

It's hard to disagree with a word Gary Neville says here...
🚨 Gary Neville has slammed the uncertainty surrounding Manchester City's ongoing case, warning that the situation is damaging the Premier League and casting a shadow over the title race.
🗣️ Neville: “This is really bad for the Premier League, and it's going to continue for a going to be a huge cloud hanging over the whole league.”
“If you could take me off Man City games for the next few months then great. It's damaging, it really is right now.”

🔥 A FURIOUS Piers Morgan goes SCORCHED EARTH on Manchester City and the Premier League!
@piersmorgan spoke for football fans across the country who are watching their sport be turned into a FARCE.
On tonight’s @SportsUncensrd he was boiling with RAGE. And he was absolutely sponsored cheating on a scale we’ve never seen before AND they’ve been found GUILTY!”
“Yesterday was a joke. We’re all watching this game thinking is this even gonna count? It is an absolute farce! It makes the Premier League look ridiculous.”
Simon Jordan spent the show bizarrely defending them. It felt like pure contrarianism — there is simply no defence left. An independent commission has already found them guilty of the serious breaches. The appeal changes nothing about the fact that English football is currently being hollowed out in plain sight.
Oliver Holt was equally scathing after watching City strut around Anfield:
“The City players are running around at Anfield as if they’re at the start of some redemption story, as if they’re the victims in all this.”
“Yesterday felt like watching Lance Armstrong riding through at the head of the peloton AFTER he’d been found guilty of multiple doping offences. It was a weird, unpleasant, unpalatable sight.”
Exactly. It was grotesque.
@OllieHolt22 finished by warning that the football brand is now deeply damaged and tainted, and that this is becoming a serious problem for the television companies, especially Sky.
Piers and Ollie are bang on the money. The longer this drags on, the more toxic it gets. Every single game City play while this hangs over them further stains the English game and wrecks its credibility.
This will snowball. Something has to be done or the entire Premier League ends up looking like a joke.

I’m glad to see the media and people like @SkyFootball continuing to speak out about this. The pressure needs to stay on the Premier League to finally make the right decision.
As @Carra23 rightly said, Manchester City are bigger than their owners. The club was here long before here in 100 years’ time.
This has dragged on for far too long now. The Premier League needs to bring this to a conclusion, whatever the outcome. The longer it goes on, the more damage it does to the credibility and integrity of the game we all love.
Football deserves clarity, fairness and accountability. #ManchesterCity

Again, Paul Merson is correct in everything he said here. The majority of the media aren’t holding back now. Anyone who tries to justify Man City’s cheating or defends it with the ‘they won it on the pitch’ narrative is embarrassing themselves as a pundit. x.com/triffic_stuff_…
