Arsenal had 50 points at halfway stage of Premier League and Manchester City win the league with three games to spare. On course to finish with 10+ points lead at the top.
Man City now won 5 of last 6 Premier League titles. All will be won by 90+ points. Serie A has had 4 different winners in a row. La Liga has had 3. Premier League reaching levels of Ligue 1/Bundesliga hegemony.
Nottingham Forest staying up a really impressive achievement by Steve Cooper. Moulded a squad of strangers into a well-drilled, impactful team. Fan support was crucial in club sticking with Cooper throughout concerning runs of form #nffc
For context, Premier League one-team dominance has two important caveats. Firstly, the long-term continuation of Guardiola feels like a definitive factor. And of course, the matter of 115 Premier League charges against the club.

Bombshell report reveals Barcelona paid a company owned by José María Enríquez Negreira €1.4m from 2016-2018.

At the time, he was a La Liga referee and vice president of Spain's Technical Committee of Referees.

None of the payments were invoiced.
Barcelona statement does not deny report and insists such payments, described as "advisory", are normal. They suggest the report is designed to destabilise their season and threaten legal action against those suggesting anything untoward with the payment.

Negreira was *not* an active official in 2016-18 period. He held the VP position within the Spanish FA 94-18 (responsible for delegating appointments). 2016-18 are tax years under investigation. Three payments were made by Barca to DASNIL 95, owned by Negreira, in these years.

Sheriff Tiraspol vs Partizan Belgrade in the Europa Conference League will be played behind closed doors.

Partizan's fans were prevented from entering Moldova amid fears that they could be involved in a pro-Russian coup to overthrow the pro-EU goverment.

replicamedia.md/ro/article/L1n…
12 Partizan Belgrade fans were prevented from entering Moldova last night as "they did not fulfil all the conditions for entry."

It comes after Ukraine intelligence "managed to intercept a detailed Russian plan to destabilize the political situation in Moldova."
Moldovan president Maia Sandu claimed those with military training from Russia, Belarus, Serbia and Montenegro, were involved in a plan to overthrow their government. Official Andrian Keptonar told TV today that they may have been under the guise of Serbian football fans.

Unbelievable. No action to be taken over monkey noises and "Vinicius you're a monkey" chants by Madrid prosecutor. They acknowledge that such actions were "unpleasant and disrespectful" but reminds us "they only lasted a few seconds" and were "in the context of football rivalry."
The judgement reads as 'racism is bad, but if you do it in a football stadium to an opposition player that is understandable'.
Cádiz midfielder Ivan Alejo posted this, now deleted tweet, coinciding with Brazil's elimination. The tweet comes a week after the Madrid prosecutor argued that racism against Vinicius Junior was ok in the context of a football match. Predictable and depressing. Image

Apropos of nothing. Allegra Stratton is married to Spectator editor James Forsyth - the best man at Rishi Sunak's wedding. She worked on Robert Peston's ITV show alongside Cassian Horowitz, who is now special advisor to Sunak. This footage has now been leaked to ITV. A cosy club.
Senior UK political journalists/editors are connected directly and personally to government. Deeply unhealthy for any sort of democratic system and proper scrutiny. This story was not leaked for a year because of ulterior motives. Now it is being leaked for ulterior motives.
This speech was given by the Prime Minister to the UK on 19 December 2020. Less than 24 hours after partying.

Boris Johnson: "As Prime Minister, it is my duty to take the difficult decisions, to do what is right to protect the people of this country." (gov.uk/government/spe…)

Shambles in Portugal. 🇵🇹

Belenenses can only name 9 players in a matchday squad to face Benfica because of a Covid outbreak.

So they play with just 9 starters, two goalkeepers on the pitch and no substitutions available.

Remarkable that this game has not been cancelled.
Benfica took the lead in the first minute, thanks to an own goal from one of the seven outfield players that Belenenses can field. A suitable start to the most farcical match of the season in any league.
The image that should shame Portuguese football.

The framing of Manchester United fan protests is depressing, but entirely predictable. The Glazers are toxic for #MUFC and football. Tribalism on this issue is entirely misplaced. Protestors aren't the problem, they're the solution.
The “this isn’t the way to protest” mob are also entirely misplaced. Fans have tried every other way but were failed by government. Failed by the Premier League. Failed by the club. They set up their own club. They are neither acknowledged nor respected. This was their only vent.
Protests are for those who need a voice; who are ignored and overlooked, who are sneeringly told to “know their place”. There are enough right-wing media outlets who will gaslight you into hating protests - don’t let football tribalism stop solidarity with rival fans protesting.
