Revenue from commercial aspects. It's a serious question - obviously it's sponsorship, does it also include merchandise? Ticket sales? Other matchday revenue?

What does commercial revenue comprise of?

Unless I'm misinterpreting "retail", does that include pints/pies and all that? Point still applies mind.

They only make 100-200 grand profit on merchandise? It's either another massive lie or they're doing a shit job of it. The margin on those shirts must be huge, take into account shop rent and staff and all the other costs and you'd still surely expect a margin better than 2-4%. Fuck me.

Needs to say that for the "greedy bastard" angle to work tbf.

Did cross my mind, seems inevitable.

Why settle for that level? We've proven we can replace and improve on infinitely better players than Taylor seemlessly and on the cheap. We should just fax Athletico bilbao a check for 2 million pounds with a question attached " Which one of your players can we get for this" and the outcome would likely see us very well off. That's definitely how it works!

Fuck's sake man. So bored of this now.

does it matter ? we know he wasn't an nufc fan originally. however if i bought burnley i'm damn sure i'd become a burnley fan. Not saying it matters man anyway. You're allowed to comment on stuff without there being deeper meaning.

Aha thanks. Few things to note but I find it strange that he's outing Ashley as a Chelsea fan.

Where are those quotes from?

If that's real (no idea if it is) then I don't know how the daft twat can justify devoting 80-90% of his spiel about 1 team every week, it's pathetic.

Manchester clubs thinking they can cruise to the final do you think?

Bilbao could have had loads of goals here.

Cheers Fugazi, will stick it on record.

We'd do well to get Spurs 'away'. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Tottenham-eye-deal-with-FA-to-swap-Harry-Redknapp-for-rent-free-use-of-Wembley-while-White-Hart-Lane-is-redeveloped-article874116.html But yeah, I'm just being a smart arse.

Ban's harsh when he was simply standing up for the name of the stadium. Warning would have shown a bit more class and balance.

Was just wondering if we could beat them if they play like this. Do we get a 4 goal headstart?

I can't see them keeping a clean sheet for a start personally.

Would love Arsenal to make a good fist of this now, just for the entertainment.

Goal.

Arsenal are only 22/1 to go through? Seems really short to me, I know it's a one off game but it would be one of the craziest outcomes of recent times.

Couldn't believe Waddle yesterday like, shouldn't bother trying to have a quiet pint in Newcastle ever again.

I think if Sessegnon had stayed on the pitch then they'd have maybe had about 2 or 3 breaks in the last half hour, the sending off didn't necessarily make it much easier for us as they abandoned all attacking intent and concentrated solely on defending.
