Colos Short and Curlies

You know that if was against us Barnes would be scoring the winner in the final and only there because of the red card here. Still not convinced it's a red with some of the challenges that didn't get a yellow, seemed a very high bar for a yellow then very little room to differentiate for a red

It's the flip side to an Isak when the club aren't ready for them. We're so reliant on him that we fall apart when he's not there. Need to build up the squad around him

Don't even need that tbh. Break even on the £24m and you can replace him with another £40m player without any impact on the SCR or FFP calcs.

That's ignoring the way referees now officiate though, a number of decisions referred to VAR would be dealt with differently if the ref was the only one able to make a decision.

Open air gladiators specials imo

Probably as good a game week as we could have expected, actually as good a final position after our last three games as we could have realistically hoped for

Can we blow for full time now?

You mean Isak not in the squad

Doesn't the Grealish sale summer drop out of the PSR window this year. They've done some decent business in selling since then but that's still a hell of an adjustment on the calcs

With his history I really hope those bets weren't with Gillespie!

I thought 4 points from the 3 game run would have been amazing, 3 and no major knocks or suspensions a good result. Especially with the 3 coming against Forest anything midweek is a bonus imo. Just don't get a trouncing please

12 games left, I'd be amazed if Forest and Bournemouth get more than 18 points. This is the point where no matter how well they done for 20-25 games you see how difficult it is to be consistent for 38 games to get top 4. Question is who will put the run together of 24-30 points and pull a little clear of the pack or puts a bit of pressure on. Second question is then what NUFC turns up for the run in

Spurs hitting form would be decent for us now, they've got pretty much all the top 5 challengers still to play

You need add Scandinavia to that map, and I'd say they dominate all of Wales for English club support

So basically like JDT for us back in the 90s

I know they put 7 away against Fulham but their form since Jan has been won one, don't win one, won one etc. not cliff face but a drop all the same

95-97 kit was more white than black

The sensible thing Slot did was not to change things too much this season, yes the style has been tweaked but its essentially Klopp's team. Lets see if he can resist the temptation to do a mass overhaul this summer (Salah/Trent/Alisson/VVD not withstanding) which could see them drop quite a bit next year as they bed in

Or play the young athletic player who's played pretty darn well all season instead. I hate to say they are excuses because they aren't, they are reasons for a number of challenges Howe faces in getting this squad to where it is. Playing Trippier isn't one and is on the gaffer

I've heard that the players are coming out to the Million Dollar Mans theme and then all fans to put aside the rivalries for 3 minutes and belt out a rendition of Money Money Money.

Without APT market value is super easy, barely an inconvenience. Just look at what other countries spend in the lead up to a world cup and then look at what was put into PSG. That's your market value

Anchoring seems to be the fairest way to prevent unlimited money being spent. You'd need a secondary measure on having the cash to service any losses made and if you want to limit direct sponsorship into this then you would need to apply interest to loans

FMV and APT are at least cousins who fuck. APT goes away and FMV is merely a lonely wanker

We'd have to go at least £100m to prove the point

Yes and know, you've made the point but missed it's relevance, we had to sell to meet PSR but we were only on danger of breaching PSR as a result of our income potential being strangled by APT. So if APT wasn't in place we would not have needed to sell to comply and we'd still have Anderson with Minteh on loan in Germany
