Couldn't have come at a better time for us tbh, they're in pole position to finish 3rd, and with the pressure already on them because of their spending, this could really affect their form.

 

[Kyras]

:lol: wish it was Tevez

Surely a player failing a drugs test won't deduct his club points unless it can be proved that someone on the club's payroll gave the dope to him?

Anyway, :lol:

Well thats what we need to hope for isnt it

If Kolo is doing it I wouldnt be surprised if his big bro was involved too.

I'd have thought every game he's played in should be the three points to the opposition, if they already won, then just give them three more. Harsh but fair

The World Anti-Doping Agency defines a specified substance as one that is "more susceptible to a credible, non-doping explanation".

The Wada punishment for such a positive test ranges from a warning to a two-year ban.

Forgt City being punished and you can probably forget Toure copping for much of a punishment too. Providing he has a 'credible' explanation.

They are NOT in pole position to finish 3rd.
It is pretty even.
If anything we have the better fixturre list.
Don't get me wrong,and I apologise if you think I am having a pop, or speaking out of turn, but they ain't that good. The media cream over them because of how much they have spent...is all. Pretty good players, but not great (for themost part), replacing pretty good players, but not great, who were overpriced and then (stupidly) not allowed to settle (probably because their owners want to get the best squad possible beforre new financial regs). Win our game in hand and we are above them...how doesthat equate to them being in pole position for 3rd:shrug:

Oh, and in regard to the story = :rofl:...:rofl:...:rofl:...:think:...:rofl:

 

[peter_the_yid]

I wonder what it was, I assume it was more
recreational drug than performance enhancing.

Sure he'll get away with it anyway once his b sample
comes back negative or his lawyers plead
some rubbish about how it was contaminated meat/ cough medicine/ spiked protein powder, or any
of those other stories people believe that are not possible.

Na, thats fair enough, I know its basically even and recent results show how much it can change during one set of fixtures, and am still confident we'll get top 4. The point i was basically trying to make was in regard to their spending.

On paper, City and Chelsea, because of their spending, should both get top 4 and thats why they'll be favourites for pretty much the whole run in. This suits us down to the ground, but yea I think because of the media those 2 clubs are always going to be seen as favourites. Personally I don't have a problem with it because we have been written off at every stage over the last year, and we just show them up.

Man City is clearly a drug den..shouldn't the entire place be cordoned off til further notice ? allow forensic time to do their stuff .

 

[DoublePivot]

* that was a quick hack job by me, so forgive the fonts being off

 

[kishman]

I bet his brother is on drugs as well.

 

[nedley]

Well Paddy Kenny got a long ban for taking cough medicine.

I hope he's banned for a while too.

 

[3Dnata]

City shouldn't be held solely responsible for this. Whoever Toure's previous club was should also be deducted points and perhaps thrown out of the League. That's an impartial point of view.
