Top bins is football slang for goals that are scored where the ball hits the very top corner of the net - near the stanchion or the ‘postage stamp’ where the crossbar meets the posts. It takes high precision and power to place the ball in such a hard-to-reach area of the goal. It’s the peak of shooting, often a worldie.
In the penultimate match of the 2018/19 season, Vincent Kompany scored a thunderbastard of a goal, right in the top bins. Manchester City beat Leicester 1-0 that night and won the league with 98 points to Liverpool’s 97. Top bins, big grins.

An initialism for Financial Fair Play. Introduced by UEFA as a way to prevent clubs spending beyond their means. The basic idea: you can't spend more than you earn, with some allowances for infrastructure and youth investment. Clubs that break the rules can face fines, transfer bans, or even exclusion from European competitions. Manchester City and PSG have both been investigated, though the punishments rarely seem to stick. UEFA replaced FFP with new "Financial Sustainability" rules in 2022, but people still call it FFP.
How are they able to spend that much money considering FFP?
