Norwich officially relegated, hard not to see Bournemouth and Villa joining them now.



Villa and Bournemouth giving it a go.

Good results for Bournemouth, Villa today they aren't going down without a fight.

At the other end of the table it's looking dodgy for Leicester, it will be poor by Brendan Rodgers and his team if from such a great position don't finish 4th at least.

The result of City's appeal to CAS is released in the morning, has huge ramifications for a whole load of reasons.

The highly anticipated battle for 8th is underway at the Lane  8)

Lively start. Some strike for the opener, David Luiz as poor as ever for the Tottenham goal

Ah in fairness to him the other lad sold him down the river there. It is end to end though
Ultimately it was not his fault but he definitely could have done better IMO.

There's plenty of milage in blaming Luiz but in this instance I reckon blame is 80/90% with other guy. Luiz got to be mindful of another red card?

City have succeeded in overturning their ban. Free to play in the Champions League next season. 4th place has just become very important!

Pathetic stuff. Caught rotten money laundering. Why bother having rules?

Yes. General consensus was CAS would reduce the ban, not decide that financial fair play itself was illegal.

That's the end of FFP.

Good luck competing for players (and thus trophies) with the likes of City and PSG now.

No, at the end of the day money talks.

Wonder how they got off  ::)
MC were allowed to bring in "new" evidence in the appeal to CAS, evidence  that they had previously not allowed Uefa to access. Apparently  that "new "evidence was enough to  get them off the hook. CAS just  found them guilty of not cooperating with the original inquiry.
Of course one may wonder why Man C denied access to UEFA  to that evidence  that would have cleared them in the first inquiry and  how much of the new evidence was constructed or reconstructed in the interval period.

I'm willing to bet this "new" evidence was in a big brown envelope.

I never gave this a moments thought when I first heard of this ban. I knew for certain it'd be overturned. Money talks.
