I read the Sun. I'm not a snob you see. Many of the broad sheets print as much rubbish as the tabloids plus they are far more influenced by their political leanings and often try to sway the reader to their way of thinking. And you think the Sun doesn't do that? Seriously?! Of course they do. Did I say that? They all do. Some worse than others though. I think we all know that. I read other newspapers too. Some are better for certain interests than others.

When I lived in London I read the Daily Mail & the Evening Standard. Over here I'm considered a progressive liberal, whatever that means. I won't read a Murdoch owned paper because the one he owns in NYC, the Post, slandered my mother when she worked for the New York City Board of Education. Meanwhile, back on the farm, no white smoke from the league. Any word when they will emerge from their conclave?

You make a good point. I don't think ALL misbehaviour will be ignored. But I do think Cardiff's request to swap the points gained in that match will fall short. For one thing, Pulis makes a fair claim that he did not change his team. He used the same lineup as he had used previously. For another, the game was played for the full 90 minutes between two capable sets of professionals, so it's hardly going to be an advantage - as they say, you still have to play the game. Knowing Man. City's lineup doesn't mean you can stop them. I also believe people who say that this kind of thing goes on all the time. If so, that fact will not be lost on the league. In short, I think the league will find insufficient evidence to overturn the result. If I am wrong, we might be seeing a lot of lawsuits and frivolous claims in the coming years.

The only fitting response from the PL after hearing both sides will be to fine Cardiff for wasting their time. Docking of points or match forfiture would open the biggest can of worms imaginable and they can't allow this to happen. Most of the press have already condemned Mr Tan for being a very poor loser. Most Cardiff fans are probably cringing in their (true) blue shirts.

I don't understand this whole 'they knew our team so we had to change it' thing. Surely you just pick your best 11 players and rely on them being better than the opposition's best 11. Doubt Real would drop Ronaldo to the bench because the opposition knew in advance that he'd be starting...
