Happy Face

What site is that?

Yeah, I see him the same way as Tiote. Much more valuable to us than he would be to just about any CL club, so we'll not sell at the prices offered. Not to say he won't go cheaper as we approach 2019, or for free in 2019. But think he's staying put for a couple of years, no matter how much he touts himself about.

There's a £24m difference between 6th and 16th on the current package. in 2016/2017 that's expected to grow to £38m. http://swissramble.blogspot.de/2015/02/the-premier-league-tv-deal-master-and.html

Maybe I've been duped. Maybe it's wishful thinking. I've written a few times that the finances are still a disgrace. But we're gettting to the point now where the TV income makes that an irrelevance. We'll report an operating profit for the first time in the 13/14 accounts and the club spends what it earns on improving the club. What does it matter if the Matchday income is down £5m over 8 years? Or commercial income is down £10m even, when the TV deal goes up £50m every 3 years? Net spend was £41m more in 14/15 than it was in 13/14. He's recouped his £29m from relegation and the club can now spend EVERYTHING it earns.

At 50 he's the richest person in Britain under 62 year old. 7 of the other 10 richest Brits inherited their wealth or the companies they grew into that wealth too. Basically the most successful British businessman of a generation, and entirely self-made. I'm opening myself to a world of hurt come the summer but I become more certain every day that he'll be pushing the club on with a better manager and a host of prudent signings for next season.

He's scored a fifth of their goals.

Nowt, this is just what we guess instead of scores now.

No, same prick on twitter who was spreading lies about scousers hissing at Spurs. I didn't realise that when I was sucked in by someone RT'ing him. Should have guessed, it was a Celtic fan who seemed delighted by the news. Fucker.

Dunno, but Sheldon Cooper off of the big bang theory is avoiding Sunderland for a few months for fear of lookalike reprisals.

A Twitter tosser

To the generic smalltime thread. The lawyers are watching and we don't know anything

Sorry to everyone who's posts I moved. Don't want Ant getting a writ.

It's all complete guesswork. That's why Luke Edwards has gone for £30m to £50m. Typo above though, absolute max is £65m. Think that would shock some people but no reason to suppose it shouldn't be that.

I'd guess the headline figures will leak from the fans forum tonight so the club will announce it so they can spin it.

I actually felt sorry for them when we scored. We'd been utter dogshit until then. Obviously not so much that I didn't laugh heartily at the disallowed goals and the ribbing at full time.

Junior tickets have been available for a fiver for the last 4 games running (Burnley, southampton, Stoke and Villa). Funny thing about that write up is they're pushing the cheap vill atickets, but not the cheap Man U ones. Kids can go for £12 to that game...unless those seats sold out, which I doubt, given it's a late kick off.

My prediction is a £69m profit

...just realised that might sound like I mean ANY credit card. It has to be one of a few specific ones. Please read the linked article and don't go withdrawing cash on any old plastic, some of them will have your eyes.

Best off using credit cards. Even to withdraw from machines over there.. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-travel-money

The table as it stands. We could go top of the league here lads and lasses.

Carver's getting like Pardew. Can't win either way. Leave him out he's a heartless twat, put him in and he's a desparate twat.

Ryder suggesting I don't understand what journalism is. He wants to look closer to home on that score.
