    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    And as more clubs within that 20 are threatened by the rules, there are going to be more potential votes to soften those rules. As fans we kind of buy into the idea of black and white rules, and loads of clubs being handed points deductions. But if the long-term objective is to level the...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Another thing to remember is that it doesn't really matter how many points the 4th placed team got in seasons gone by - what matters more is how many points the 5th place team got. That's the total that's more important if we look at things historically. For example, last season saw Newcastle...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    I think that's a real stretch in your thinking. Draws are not that common (I believe around 15% of the season so far) so I would suggest that those draws you are predicting are less "calculations" and more just games where you can't predict the result. And it's totally fine to not be able to...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Totally fine to have an opinion, and of course anything can happen. It would be interesting to hear where you think the points swing is going to come from. We play the same teams apart from us having Wolves, Villa, West Ham, Forest when they have Everton, Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton. The...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    Whilst that is true, it is also true that having academy players make the grade is still the cheapest way to build a squad. The Chelsea situation isn't entirely unique... I think it's just extreme and is throwing more light on the rules than should be normal. Selling your best academy players...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    No matter what your views on Levy might be, top level football clubs have to be successful businesses now in order to be successful on the pitch, bar a few exceptions. It's the nature of the beast. If that is going to wind you up, then I fear you will be frustrated as a football fan. I do think...

    The Naming Rights Thread

    You're probably right about certain companies not wanting to get involved based on existing sponsors, but that would be true of all clubs, and it's not like there's a shortage of companies in the world! I think part of the hold up will be that we want a partner rather than just a sponsor. It...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    It makes you wonder if they will go down the Barca route of selling off future this/that/the other in order to avoid getting hit with a penalty that would relegate them. They will surely be waiting for the Everton/Forrest judgements and then come up with something that keeps them in the league...

    Will FFP finally put spurs where they belong?

    The City case will be different because it's not strictly about what they spent on players... it's more about them not being clear about what they were doing and not cooperating with investigations. Trickier stuff to prove and there will be loads of fighting from City's side. If Chelsea get...

    Will FFP finally put spurs where they belong?

    I'm totally with you in terms of those arguments being shite when it comes to what Chelsea have done. I just imagine that those judgements are going to set a precedent, which from my limited understanding is a huge deciding factor when you get into the legal nitty gritty. There is a universe in...

    Will FFP finally put spurs where they belong?

    I don't full agree with the idea that all other clubs will be lowballing Chelsea. For example, if Ange really wants to sign Gallagher then I think it's fine for us to come up with our own valuation of him and still offer that. If we made a crazy low offer out of spite and ended up losing out on...

    Mid-window review: ins/outs?

    The outgoings have been really important this window as well. The loans for the youngsters could be hit or miss, but moving Lloris, Dier and Perisic are all signs that the club is looking ahead and being more focused on moulding a proper Ange squad. I'm not sure you can ever create a perfect...

    Fair play for owning that. I thought you were a bit over-dramatic with the whole "gazumped by Brentford" thing if I'm honest, so it would have been easy to stay quiet when we did pull off a promising signing. These wonderkid signings are easy to get caught up with, but we can't sign all of them...

    I instantly thought of Berbatov when I watched a compilation, but to be honest we are probably all wrong because these videos only show a small amount. He will have his flaws as well, but certainly looks talented.

    Dominic Solanke (!?)

    Is it just me that can't help thinking about DenverSpur whenever somebody posts a scoreline? I'm wondering if he had that Palace vs. Sheffield game on record but has now spat his coffee out in anger at Stoof!

    Player Watch: Bryan Gil

    He might be looking at it in a similar way as Sanchez. If Ange doesn't think Gil is going to be of much use to him over the remaining games, then why not get him out of the door now (even on a loan) to make things potentially a bit clearer come summer. Like you say, there will be options...
