kind of surprised FFP came up with something this restrictive

Quote:
Under the complex ruling the club must also agree to a string of other conditions: maximum losses of €20m in 2014 and €10m in 2015, to cap their wage bill at current levels for the next two seasons and to "significantly limit" spending in the transfer market for the same period.

The sanctions will limit Manuel Pellegrini's options when it comes to naming his 21-man European squad, cut from the usual 25, of which eight must qualify as "homegrown". City pointed out, however, that last season they registered 23 players and used only 21.

If they comply with those conditions, they will get back €40m of the €60m fine, which will be deducted from their Uefa prize money over the next three years.

The club, who said they were on course to break even this financial year, claimed they had complied with the FFP rules but said they reluctantly accepted Uefa's sanctions in order to provide certainty.

City said they would be limited to spending a net maximum of £49m in the transfer window, bringing the splurges of recent years to an end.

Lucky bounces, and probably should have never been a corner to start with.

Well that should do it. Hull have looked spent for the last 45 minutes.

Fabianski nearly misplayed that ball too. He looks really uncertain

That's a poor shot. Just a lot of mental errors from Hull today.

Really would've loved to have seen Arsenal muck that up (and almost did), after they show the engraver chiseling their name on the Cup.

That did seem a little dodgy. Not Arsenal's fault though. As they say, the good thing about falling behind early is that there is lots of time to come back.

If there any Arsenal fans reading this who weren't at the Pig & Duke this morning, you missed out. Nothing like watching the game with a completely packed house of fellow supporters (other than being there of course). Great times in the end after a horrid start.
