    Congrats to Man Utd, thought they deserved it over the two legs. Barca don't appear to have the quality and desire they have had over the last few seasons, especially in the final third. Zambrotta was poor, as was Abidal, who when ever I have seen him has been useless, even as far back as the 2006 World Cup.

     

    And come on Liverpool tonight!

    Hmm Man City did have a good first half, but have fallen apart since. Sven didn't have the greatest England reign and hasn't had the best time at Man City, but will they find a better manager if they let him go? If they want to progress and buy Ronaldinho (!) then they need a manager with reputation and experience.

     

    Looking forward to Man Utd Barca, hope it's a good watch!

    He mentioned that he played these people because of his friend Dani, so I am assuming that his friend has a high rank, and he dropped into a gap in his friend's session. Wish I had my wii. It's decided! I am heading back to london to reclaim what is rightfully mine! (getting my wii and bringing it back to leeds with me :yay: )

     

    Yeah that's what I thought, but having spoken to him, it seems it was just a fluke. He thinks that maybe his "MT" clan members helped him reach the 9999 feat (by only shooting at others etc.) so I don't know how "real" his ranking is.

     

    I'm also trying to get at least 1 star on every Grand Prix, but it's really difficult, blue shell there, red shell there. Of course it's been said before, but it's damn annoying.

     

    Not entirely sure what the rank is based on, but I think it's predominatly time. Therefore if you fall off a circuit, it will naturally effect your time and rank.

    You aren't far wrong with your assumptions, but...(there's always a but!)...it's not that we were the first to break "these rules", as you put it, it's the fact that the FL punished us retrospectively after introducing new rules. How is that fair whatsoever? Retrospective punishment for a breaking a rule that did not exist at the time of breaking it...

     

    As for the backlash you speak of, yup entirely possible. But if the likes of Donnington, Carlisle, Southend and Swansea proceed with a legal challenge to the FL if we do get 10+ points back aren;t they admitting to throwing some of their own matches and relying on Leeds being -15 at the end of the season? It's a minefield for the FL, an absolute quagmire. But it's their own doing. Leeds and the FL agreed for the arbitration decision to be binding, so whatever the outcome nobody can change it. There will be hell to pay either way.

     

    What I would like to say is that my respect for Forest has been totally proven in this scenario as they are the only team ahead of us who haven't said a word about the "Leeds points saga". I hope they gain promotion with us, regardless of whether we get the points back or not.

     

    Didn't realise we were punished retrospectively, doesn't seem fair as you say. I also hope Forest go up. They do seem like the only team not to have threatened action, as Swansea, Doncaster, Carlisle and even Leyton Orient have. On another note it's quite funny how Swansea aren't allowed to have the championship trophy until the ruling!

     

    Sky Sports News are aparantley reporting that Sven is about to leave Man City, joke of a club if thats true tbh.

     

    The BBC is reporting Sven is to be sacked at the end of the season!

    I've just been playing in an worlwide online race and came up against the toughest opposition I've played yet. I'm at 7700 now and at times my rating was the lowest. One guy "Paco MT" was at 9999 at one point. I also had another 9000+ and several in the 8000s and a couple in the 7000s. I found playing against them very enjoyable; very hard, but it was great fun to compete against some of the best. I did come 2nd a couple of times, and even when I was as low as 5th I still gained points ;-)

     

    I'm Pierrepont and I guess my friendship with Dani hooked me up with some of these guys. Hope to see some of you online : peace:

    As far as I know, Leeds got deducted 15 points because you went into administration after you had already been relegated thus the 10 point deduction for going into administration was effectively worthless. Boston United also did the same thing as you last season but they did not get deducted an extra 15 points instead they get relegated an extra league down.

     

    I've also heard this and it seems ridiculous. We were deducted 10 points for administration after we were relegated from the Championship and they didn't like it so deducted us another 10 the following season? Give us our points back...

    Interesting comments regarding the Leeds points saga. I'm a Leeds fan and it seems very few people (myself included) can state exactly why Leeds were deducted 15 points.

     

    We were deducted 10 points the season before for going into administration, and another 15 this season. That's 25 in total. Seems a little over the top. I believe the problem is that we are the first to break these certain "rules" and therefore no penalty has ever been given before. As far as I know Bournemouth and Luton have broken the same rules and should receive the same punishment, which may of course change depending on the ruling over the next couple of days.

     

    I can't rightfully say whether we should get any points back. However, I think we will get some, 5 being most likely, which is just not enough to send us up in the automatic promotion places. I partly believe this as 5 points won't upset any other teams, whereas if we get 10+ I dread to think the backlash. The FL won't want any of that to deal with.
