There's been a definite narrative in the media that the PL has somehow done us a favour by deducting the points. Heard it from a stoke fan at a family do yesterday so it's clearly stuck in the minds of the population.
Which worries me as it could well be a way of trying to soften is up for not getting anything back in the appeal.
I don't think I ever want to hear the world "galvanised" again.
