You saw me standing alone, everybody. Welcome to the Football Ramble! England lost at Wembley and Man City lost in court. It's Monday, twenty-eighth of September. I'm Marcus Speller, I'm Jim Campbell, and I'm Luke Moore.
Hello everybody, good to have you with us. What a momentous Monday we've had at uh As
the Bengals sang.
In a first draft. Oh my goodness. Um where to begin, where to begin? Well, as a lot of um uh uh uh football fans or some football fans, certainly in the north west of England, would often remind us, uh club before country. Yeah so we'll start with Manchester City. That'll teach him, Marcus.
Dagger in the heart that
I saw a while they're down as at Wembley on Saturday night, I saw a Wolves fan who had a t shirt in front of me, Wolves badge, England badge. It's a club and country. I said, Good boy. Can be done. Can be done. Thank you very much. Don't have to choose, they play in different competitions. Anyway, Manchester City, they've been found guilty. Um Of of most. Nearly all. The vast majority, a hundred and fourteen out of a hundred and fifteen.
What
was
the one they got off with? Uh the but people on Facebook were saying it's um overcrowding in their stadium.
But I I I I believe that when um these guilty verdicts were read out, that uh American chap who we saw a lot during um uh the the early noughties just said, ladies and gentlemen, we got Uh look, it's uh A hundred and fourteen of the hundred and fifteen. Ninety nine point one three percent of the charges. There we are. Jim, you once said, you know, I'm sure it's a hundred and fifteen misunderstandings. Tell us one. It would appear it was just one

Yes. Yeah. Um, okay. Uh seven. Just seven were for breaching Premier League profitability and sustainability rules from twenty fifteen, twenty eighteen. The

they failed to cooperate.

Yeah. Massively. Could uh
well, they could have learnt from anyone who who co cooperated Markers. Yes, they couldn't. Or
they could have learned from all the clubs who've not done any of these things.
Yeah. I mean look, I I understand that that there will be Manchester City fans listening to this and going, Oh come on, you know, you shouldn't be um gleefully reading all this. But but the thing is
Well to whom I would say get fucked. Yeah.
