What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorManchester City fans sang "We're going down with United" on Saturday, while their own club sat top of the Premier League.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorBrighton won it one-nil at City, and United had just lost to Chelsea, so the crowd was singing at a rival that wasn't even there.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBut United aren't the ones with a verdict.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCity were found guilty of all charges over the league's financial rules, covering two thousand nine to twenty eighteen.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIt's a taunt, Kenji. A rivalry taunt. Aimed at United, who, fine, have no verdict. So it's a taunt with terrible aim.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe league says City inflated revenue by more than a billion dollars with what it calls sham commercial deals, according to the AP.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThat's a lot of gallows.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe appeal is coming, and it is expected to be heard within twelve weeks.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentUnsafe, City says. Meanwhile the chant is the first thing this season that agrees with the verdict.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorOn the field, Notre Dame lead Navy fourteen to thirteen with fifty-five seconds left in the second quarter, and Wisconsin trail Iowa seventeen to nothing with forty-five seconds left in the half.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTop of the table, guilty on every charge, and what finally made the chant accurate was Brighton.
