Saw a little snippet the other day about this saying the purchase of the land is in the process of going through. No idea if it's just someone trying to put 2+2 together or it's actually happening.

It's noubt new really. Madrid smashed Liverpool, Arsenal got hammered home and away by Munich, Spurs were beaten 5-0 by Madrid. It only damages us if we never improve and appear again.

Don't the changes to the rules from City mean it's fine for us to have sponsorship from PIF now as that was the whole argument ?

Apparently knackered his groin so I'm guessing he's out.

Yep and that's the important part. The club said they were meeting what was necessary when we were in the CLs this season. Income will rise again this season with Sela money and CL cash so that's another bonus. Next season will be the first season of the Adidas money on the books as it starts after this seasons results. We'll definitely have space to expand with funds this pre season but we'll have to keep it manageable with lack of CL next season. The money will increase again next pre season and in the mean time we'll have to keep increasing our income streams.

Think that's generally the reason behind the gardening leave for a year. Probably makes more sense to not allow him to work for a year than to make them pay us more.

I'll be honest, with the Brighton tickets. I believe it's more a case of people with low points purchasing the tickets to get their numbers up than anything else. Until the club changes their terms and conditions so that points are only accrued on the attendance of the match and not the purchase of the ticket as it is now, people will buy tickets and be no shows.

Can't say I'm a huge fan of this one. Looks like they've squashed a football stadium inside the Birmingham Bullring. Much preferred the ground we were in, in America where everyone got top quality facilities and corporate got out of this world facilities. This probably has them but it's only really shown the ugly exterior and some seats. Balconies are pretty cool mind, wouldn't really work over here though.

The penalty being ruled out annoyed me more.

Yep I agree with what most have said, the big surfers for big games. The surfers do seem to draw people out of the pubs a little earlier when something big is mentioned which may be what encourages the atmosphere a little. Keep the rest of the flags for all the rest of the games. Not sure I agree with TheGuv about the big flags only being in the Strawberry though, I think it's been made to look spectacular when it's been all round the stadium. You'd hope the crowd are up for Sunday though without anything needed!

Whilst I agree with this, it would be nice if someone could get a hold of me if they needed to. At the minute it's like being back in the 90s (Though that's not all bad :))

Hasn't it already been shown that the Arena site is already taken for housing development and also isn't big enough for a new stadium either. Pretty sure it was on one of those Youtube videos about the expansion.

Didn't Targett miss 2 weeks of football with that

Under Ashley he'd have scored plenty. Long balls up, basic crosses into the box. Burnley football basically.
