I think they also hide administrative costs inside City Football Group, so their wage number is much closer to playing staff only while everyone else's includes support staff. And who knows what else they are hiding in there...

Without a lot of upsets it seems like, barring a win in Paris, we're going to drop to ~14th. We get one of like Olympiacos / Galatasaray / Qarabag / Napoli / Monaco. And then Real Madrid or Liverpool. So much can change with just one or two results though.

I have no idea what the solution could be, but the last 12 months of European football have to be setting off alarms and discussions within UEFA and the other countries.

I'd be shocked if they don't come up eventually. And the first summer/season will be intolerable. Hopefully they will be served a reality check.

If Emery's smart he will sit back. I like our chances if they try to bring the game to us.

That’s wages. The numbers talked about for UEFA (and the new PL rules) include amortisation and agent fees also. The on the other end it includes a three year average of player sales profit.

Euro to pounds conversion a little wonky, but that’s roughly a £30m increase in commercial if accurate. 2025/26 with CL money plus all the extra home games is going to be a massive record (and obviously a player sale record also). We’ll also go back ahead of Villa, who only passed us because of the CL money. Their matchday is ahead of us, which is obviously increased by Europe, but still a big increase for them. But yeah, will be nice to get the real accounts.

The pots don't change anything. Six non-English pot 1 clubs spread around. Arsenal - Inter, Bayern Chelsea - Bayern, Barcelona Man City - Real Madrid, Dortmund Liverpool - Real Madrid, Inter Spurs - PSG, Dortmund NUFC - Barcelona, PSG

When we win the other team is shit. When we lose or draw we are shit. Keep up.

This is the most annoying part. At least the "happy clappers" are here rain or shine, other than sometimes needing a sanity break. We should probably be spending more time debating what he needs to do to guarantee a statue instead of whether he's the right man for the job, but for some reason there's a group of people only interested in the latter.

Elanga actually looks fast tonight.

Miley definitely freaking out inside.

Miley and Tonali padding their passing stats.

There's a lot to like about this ref. I don't even really blame him for the Wissa possible penalty - I just don't understand how that isn't a longer VAR check.

That would have been perfect for the two new boys.

They have USG in the last game so still a good chance of top 8.

2 points currently separate 6th to 15th. And 2 points from 17th to 26th.

Hall is a level above, but Miley too. Excellent and then you factor in their ages.

Apologies to many past and present NUFC players, but Lewis Hall is storming ahead of many of you in terms of my favorite players of all time.

Bilbao just scored twice against Atalanta. We're up to 7th as it stands and need one more goal to go ahead of PSG.

The whole front three have scored. Wonderful.

But, but Ramsey.

Tonali wins the ball and then retrieves his own pass. That's the Tonali we all know and love.

Worse IMO.
