Wonderful. I'm going to assume those "other costs" are agent fees or bonuses or something, so not to NUFC. We probably get around £15m. Let's just say his wages were £100k and skip any debate about that. That means the combination of player sales income and wage savings is roughly £10m per year for the next three years.

It’d be nice to be 1/50 but we’re still in good shape.

Can’t remember Tonali being this sloppy.

We’ve had some moments down the left, but Isak has barely touched the ball.

Turning himself into the villain.

"I'm very much at home and living a dream," he said. "For me to leave, it must be something great for the club, not for me. "I don't worry about it. I trust the club and my agents. I'm so happy here and I want to stay."

If City beat Villa we could be five clear [City wins] I'm still worried Villa will win the rest and can't see Forest losing, but if we just take care of what we need to do we'll be fine. [Beat Ipswich 3-0] Now that Villa and Forest are out of the cup they have no distractions and Liverpool winning the title means they are now terrible [Forest lose to Brentford] Man United and Spurs and Palace and the Amex and everything is bad ----------------- You all are going to drive yourselves mad. The most relevant fact is since mid-December (i.e. The Rise of Tonali), which is the equivalent of half a season as of now, we are the second best team in the country and we beat the only one better in a cup final.

6 English teams in the CL and possibly winning two of the 3 tournaments is going to shine a light on how financially dominant the PL has become. Not really sure what can be done. It would be a shame if UEFA responded by making an example out of a club like Chelsea.

Please don't.

Yeah, I hope at least one of Leeds, Burnley, Sheffield United / mackems stay up next season. I think Leeds with their new owners, planned stadium expansion, etc. have the best chance.

Without even looking back at the numbers I don't see how Spurs could possibly have any sort of problem. What's the source on that?

People haven't really caught on to the gap that has grown. I said recently to a group of people that the clubs trying to create a mid-table moat around them like Fulham, Brighton, Brentford, Palace, etc. are arguably as big a problem as the ones at the top and they all thought I was crazy. The fact they are all southern clubs makes it worse too. Pulling the drawbridge up on clubs with long histories like Leeds, Sunderland, the Sheffield clubs, West Brom, etc. feels especially wrong.

I don't think the average footballer thinks about these things. But if the same Chelsea as we've seen recently shows up then Liverpool can beat them without being near their best.

Meslier is horrendous. They are going straight back down without a significant GK upgrade. If I were Leeds I'd be calling us every day asking if Pope is available.

Our GK can’t touch anyone going for the ball and we can’t stand next opposing goalkeepers. Got it.
