Yes pal, and if you're there, I'll change the plans and see you there. Are you in?

Paying £70 odd quid to watch us piss down our own leg, again, and then get kicked from pillar to post in the media, isn't my idea of entertainment.

Last night was do or die and it was flat from the start - the crap atmosphere transmits to the players (clichy example. Clichy was the one quoted as saying he needed the fans before kick off FFS).
An empty stadium sends a message out that we will not tolerate blatant bias. On the flip side, this would get reported as 'crap city fans glory hunting'.
i'm just out of ideas as to how we speak out against the bias. Vince needs to speak out. He respected throughout the world. How is there no aftermath with the ref booking a completely different player? Why can't we appeal the result?
At best the ref will disappear to some obscure league just like the paid off ref did In the Europa in the kiev match (Mario got sent off). People forget that we had even worse decisions in the Europa - yet we had a better atmosphere in a lot of those games.

This is an extreme and ridiculous idea but if we finish in the top four at the end of this season [or, especially, if we were to win the League], we ought to then refuse to enter either of the European competitions, as a form of protest.
This would cause a stir which the media couldn't ignore and distort and which even the Fat Frenchmen would find it difficult to sweep under the carpet. However, as a consequence, it would probably then cause us to be banned from European competitions 'ad infinitum' and, in any event, such a course would be very distasteful to our owners.
It would certainly be a way of protesting though.

but it won't happen as the steer from the clubs top brass is ''bend over backwards for UEFA". I thought we had lawyers building a case for this FFP bollocks? I thought the reason we didn't challenge was because we would be 'banned' from Europe for a year pending investigation and this was something that 'was not feasible to the fans/or from a financial perspective".
Well in hindsight, I'd much rather we weren't in Europe this year pending a dispute with UEFA about FFP whilst we proceeded to buy players like Barkley, Pogba, Isco, Di Maria (spit) and a striker....
