Colos Short and Curlies

Masters and co furiously looking through the rule book to see if they can make us play Palace on the Saturday. (Half) Joking aside we've a hell of a run before the final to keep the minds sharp

Nope, he's low key produced top drawer numbers for a season and a half.

Just saying...

Not fair that we had to play the second leg up here

Take the Ando 'Morphy' and rhyme it with Trophy after he cores the winner in the LC final

Let the fun begin....

We outspent every other team in 97/98 on a gross basis and pretty much all on a net basis

Unfortunately yes, one of my favourite players but he was well on a very sudden decline. Could still turn it on, like Barcelona, but that was increasingly the exception

It's a great midfield bit limited supply to shearer. We had Ketsbaia, a past it Gillespie and Barnes to play out wide. Watson at a push.... Actually I think we may have put Rush out left for a few games. I suppose the £5m spent on Andersson could have gone elsewhere if Shearer had been fit. And yes it was that injury that created Shearer 2.0

I remember going down to Bradford to watch the friendly arranged as part of the deal. Not sure what was worse, Discos performance or Washington services

But that was Shearer recovering from injury. Shearer stays fit then you get the double boost of his goals and JDT not struggling as the number 9. It was scoring goals (or not) that killed us that season. There is a question on who would be supplying the goals mind....

If it stays like this then we've really got away with one this weekend.

CP30 is who I'm worried about

Under PSR I reckon we'd have a healthy budget in the summer if we got top 5. The problem is SCR then comes into play which limits is more than PSR would. Of course it's FMV that's the real limiting factor under with measure

That's not Teletext like

I'm looking forward to Burn shouting down the mic 'Ah've still got meee sooot, its getting cleened in the morning'

Villa have made £70m from the champions league this year, if we qualify we'll keep hold of all 4. It looks like we're currently on the limit of the UEFA rules bit fine with the current PL rules. £70m extra next year plus we will get more sponsorship deals through and we've got £50-£60m headroom minimum for wages and amortisation

We'll turn it on, got more faith in a performance against an established top 4 club than any other atm. Depends if Arsenal turn it on as well, then it comes down to who is more composed or gets the rub of the green in front of goal

Can see city pulling clear of Forest bit then it's anyone's game for 4th and 5th. Top 8 in danger of pulling away a little now but Europe comes into play for a couple of clubs so picture could change. 4th or 5th is there for the taking, right now I'd be disappointed with anything below 6th

Because there are 5 teams going for 2 places and strengthening one gives more opportunity for the other 3 to drop points when we play them

It depends on how they see him playing, he wouldn't be able to play against them but we still have games against Forest, Chelsea and Villa where City may see it beneficial in giving a greater chance to take points from those clubs

And its still more interesting then xG crap

Sales profits are spread over 3 years - so a £30m is £10m a year for 3 years, not £30m each year

Jokes on you, I'm an old bastard FCA ha

The 2 poorer qualifications then
