    I always wondered why NFL teams didn't have shirt sponsorship, or other things like pitchside advertising but when you look at these numbers and stack them against the amount of money coming in through the TV deals you realise that it's all kind of peanuts. I would imagine the NFL sells it's TV rights based upon an advertsing free product, where the broadcasters can chose whom they partner with, like the Verizon red zone or the tools to the success presented by Home Depot. It's a whole different approach, I wonder if the PL will eventually go down that route themselves. Not any time soon I'd reckon. Part of the TV lucrativeness is the NFL has enforced timeouts for commercials and several other opportunities to broadcast them.

    Two more miserable games still to go
  5. Hard to know what everyone was thinking but I think the general feeling was Ritchie, Diame (at the time!!!) and Gayle were perceived as the best bets while Lazaar, Atsu, Yedlin, Gamez, Hayden, Murphy, Clark, Hanley were the "meh"s or at best "we'll see"s.
  6. I hope he means Sir Charles if only to replace Ando. "That shot was turrible."
  7. Not disagreeing but even in this age of ever increasing sky money/fees/wages, there are still a class of clubs that will have to pay a premium just because of who they are. Stones to City being a prime example of them having to pay way over the odds because of who they are.
  8. sigh. I guess I'll start hoping again, then.

    sad geordie bastards?
  10. I am having a boring evening as well. Your Mitro sub row looks way off. Quick rundown from nufc.com's match reports shows nowhere near 25 sub appearances. Brought on when trailing ======================== Wolves - down 0-2, lost 0-2, didn't score Norwich - 2-3 became 4-3. didn't score @Nottingham Forest - down 1-2, lost 1-2 already down to 9(!!) men, didn't score Sheffield Wednesday - down 0-1, lost 0-1, didn't score @Sheffield Wednesday - down 2-0, lost 2-1, didn't score @Ipswich Town - down 2-1, lost 3-1, didn't score. Brought on when winning ======================== @Villa - ended up drawing, didn't score @Rotherham - maintained lead, didn't score Ipswich Town - already up 3-0, didn't score @Leeds - already up up 2-0, didn't score Birmingham City - already up 4-0, didn't score Nottingham Forest - already up 3-1, didn't score @Cardiff City - already up 0-2, didn't score Brought on when drawing ======================== Aston Villa - Gayle off in 33', 0-0, wound up winning 2-0. Didn't score Not exactly "impact sub" material tbh.
  11. How come your played column says 46 all season when it adds up to 57?
  12. If Rafa gets his way i can't see that not being the case tbh. The mere fact he wanted a CM and winger in January means he knows we need both, plus it's obvious to pretty much everyone we don't have a 10 fit for purpose. Probably worth giving One Lung another punt tbh. Aye, into the Tyne. Why has he only played half of PSV's games? Injured? Sounds like he got rested/rotated a lot. 10 starts, 9 games off the bench and 13 games as 'unused sub'.
  13. Solid 3. +5 for securing promotion and for rafa -1 for never being able to fully enjoy anything while Ashley is in charge. -1 for not walking it undefeated
  14. tell me more about this fat lass edit: TELL ME LESS, TELL ME LESS
  15. Doesn't sound like you have, but you definitely have paperwork relevant to the investigation. It did sound like someone at HMRC laid out two options and they went with #2 1) go the slower route of requesting all documentation through formal channels, run the risk of someone in the org being in on it and tampering/destroying evidence 2) surprise raid the offices at dawn
  16. Strange how sometimes immediately professing your innocence makes you sound shadier.
  17. Despite their surnames starting with the same letter, however, they are not related.
