Romelu Lukaku used a Nations League match to accuse Gianluigi Donnarumma of owing him two Premier League titles and the Michael Sheen/Brian Clough “chuck all your medals in the biggest effing dustbin you can find” gif has been doing seriously big numbers on Social Media Disgrace.

While the Premier League has yet to confirm Friday’s leaked news that City have been found guilty of the vast majority of more than 100 charges, it’s already clear the ramifications will be far-reaching and potentially endless.

Of course while Martin Tyler and Sergio Agüero mournfully contemplate the fact that the goal they made more famous than any other scored in Premier League history may ultimately be consigned to the big dustbin of Didn’t Happen, it remains to be seen what effect the guilty verdicts will have on the current City team.

While they lead the Premier League, costly mistakes made by Nico O’Reilly and Marc Guéhi in England’s defeat at the hands of Spain suggest the potential for apocalyptic sanctions being imposed on their club may prove quite the distraction.

Before Sunday’s controversial Nations League fixture, the Irish players looked down at the grass with their heads bowed and hands behind their backs during the Israeli national anthem, and the Irish captain, Dara O’Shea, shook hands with the referee and his assistants but there was no attempt to shake the hand of the Israel captain, Manor Solomon.
