Has the Premier League or FA ever done a points deduction for financial things? Happens all the time in Italy, lol.

I know FFP is UEFA, so they can't do anything, but would the PL/FA even consider doing something like that?

The 10 point deduction for insolvency has happened a few time. Never for something like FFP

Think it's only been the clubs that entered administration. I thought West Ham got hit with a deduction for the whole Tevez thing, but it turns out they were cleared.

Since Leeds were relegated from the premier league they have been deducted a total of 25 points for financial matters

Dumb US fan here. I'm going to be London on March 16th and i'm hoping to get tickets to the Liverpool Fulham match at Craven cottage. Do I have any chance through the general sale or are the £200+ tickets on Stubhub my only option? I'll need 3 tickets, so if buying a Fulham membership would help, that could still be cost effective.

Almost no chance through general sale. Also FYI don't buy seats with the Fulham fans if you're going to be supporting Liverpool

Craven Cottage is tiny as well so that's going to limit your chance for tickets even further plus they're playing Liverpool which is always a big draw.

The two options are expensive seats from stubhub with an okay view but amazing atmosphere or box seats with a great view, amazing food, but poo poo atmosphere.

Buy the stubhub tickets and support Fulham.

it’s alleged but likely seeing how much racism there is

making an issue of it solely based on what sports teams a person likes or dislikes doesn’t seem likely to eradicate it any time soon. hopefully clubs will seriously investigate and go after these people. it’s only just

also, did you post about the incident during the nld shrapnig?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here but I put the match on while Sterling was grabbing the ball for a City corner and he had the "someone said something dumb but we're trying to play football" look on his face.

If you're talking about the banana in the NLD I'm not sure anyone who was watching the match live knew anything about it. I first heard about from the Guardian.

There's a video of a gammon clearly shouting something. To me it absolutely seems like he's saying "gently caress off you black oval office", though some have argued he's saying "Manc oval office" which would look similar.

Sterling raised a good point regarding that today, that the British media are definitely feeding the frenzy. An example was raised: two young footballers, both playing for the same team, both buying £2 million pound houses for their mums.

For the white player, the headlines were along the lines of "footballer buys house for beloved mum". For the black player it was hand-wringing about irresponsible young footballers wasting money before they've established themselves.

E: it was two City players.

Raheem Sterling posted:

Sterling posted two photos, contrasting different newspaper headlines for similar stories involving black and white teammates at City -- Adarabioyo and Phil Foden -- who bought new houses this year.

The headline referring to Adarabioyo, who is black, focuses on how he spent £2.25 million on a house "despite having never started a Premier League match" while that on Foden says he bought a £2m home "for his mum."

Sterling added: "For example you have two young players starting out their careers, both play for the same team, both have done the right thing. Which is buy a new house for their mothers who have put in a lot of time and love into helping them get where they are, but look how the newspapers get their message across for the young black player and then for the young white player.

"I think this is unacceptable both innocent have not done a thing wrong but just by the way it has been worded. This young black kid is looked at in a bad light. Which helps fuel racism and aggressive behaviour, so for all the news papers that don't understand why people are racist in this day and age all I have to say is have a second thought about fair publicity and give all players an equal chance."

Football fans are idiots - United fans singing "You scouse bastards" to Liverpool players/Liverpool-born players when their captain was a Scouser being an obvious example.

That being said, it's pretty clear he's saying "black".
