Dear me…

That’s exactly what it is.

Became competitive, it’s a disgrace…

Of course they are, basically this whole comment section is a circle jerk of Arsenal, Man Red and Liverpool fans just talking absolute bollocks.

Nothing. People are talking out of their arses.

Hey, he’s not biased!

I think some people seem to inexplicably conflate having rich, none Western owners in and of itself with breaking FFP rules. I’d say generally fans of the Red teams and Arsenal because only they’re entitled to have money and win stuff.

FFP didn’t exist in 2004.

As a Newcastle fan I would have had a grumble about it at the time and that would be it. Had that been the same goal in reverse against us and it was given I’d have done the same thing. Had a bit of a moan then moved on. Because it’s a 50/50 decision some you win and some you don’t.

Your last point is exactly the issue. Bizarre thinking.

Oh yeah, it’s wonderful.
