    It really should have been last season - they'd have been 19th and finally flushed.

    With the dross at the bottom now, I expect they will survive comfortably.

    Given a bonus 10 points because they are so transparent in everything they do

    If they'd spent the money a bit better, they wouldn't even be in the relegation zone after the deduction - essentially meaning no punishment. What's the point?

    So is it likely that this deduction will actually kick in this season then?

    Wasn't sure where to place them. Behind or before QPR maybe.

    10 point deduction for the scousers with only one charge

    Citeeeh have about a thousand counts against them. They will get relegated to the Vanarama league…just will take 20 years for the Fa to evaluate all the charges

    That only applies in the sense of "we can still catch them..." so when we are in the same division again then maybe. ;)

    No chance. The Government will get a law passed which says that Citeh are absolutely clean.

    They're definitely on the list. The way their fans behaved over Silva, Richarlison and Doucoure, always gloating about Moshiri's money propelling them into the upper echelons of the Premier League, it would be lovely if this sent them down. Unfortunately they'll be fine as the three promoted teams are collectively the worst the top flight has seen. Going to be weird wanting them to get a few results to make sure the scum only have one season in the sun though.

    Apparently we have to feel sorry for Everton and hope they stay up according to the likes of Sherwood and Mills as they are a big club.

    Guess it just shows how much pundits really care about most sides .

    I wonder if Leicester, Leeds and Burnley would try to sue them for loss of revenue?

    Despite 1984 I’ve always liked Everton because they are not Liverpool in the same way I liked City until last season when Pep Ball started to bore me .

    Also their fans seem decent bunch, when we beat them 5-2 recently most of their fans outside the ground were really complementary and humble .

    I have also had multiple pleasant encounters with their fans in Liverpool too, in fairness to them

    For a short while 1984 was known as the “Friendly Final”, due to the better than normal relations between the two sets of fans on the day, especially in the context of the bad hooligan problem of the time.

    Goes back to the 70's I believe. There was also a rivalry with Southend around that time and Ipswich in the 90's. Brentford still has a little bit of niggle when we go there. Bournemouth I simply don't understand
