Just allowed to pick the ball out of the air with your hands now?

Fuck sake man, why take fucking chances?

Get in! As poor as we have been, I don’t think we deserved to be behind.

None of our wingers have passed it. Just Gordon and to a lesser extent Toni running down the wing and not passing.

Are we just allowed to challenge a player from behind and when the ball has gone now?

Can Schar please stop shooting?

Fuck sake man, they were offering fuck all as well. One of the weakest goals ever.

That’s my point. So let’s say for example our revenue was £100m and we ran at the 70% for wages and transfers, so that’s £70m. Now let’s say that non-playing squad expenses (stadium & training ground upkeep, travel & transport, and everyone else’s wages) runs at say 15%. That means we would be spending £85m, and would have £15m in the bank that we could never spend. Year 2 and it’s £30m, 5 years down the line and you are at £75m, 10 years you are at £150m.

With our current wage budget, and our current income, over a 3 year period we can spend £384,612,000 on players. That would obviously be amortised, but would then mean it would accounted for in our revenue to spend ratio. What I don’t get is that if you are only allowed to spend 70% up to 85% on your transfers and wages, assuming your none playing costs are below the 15%-30% ratio, overall you’ll end up with a massive surplus of cash that you could never spend.

Year on year.

This new rule will just replace the £105m cap over 3 years, which still had the sponsorship rules in place. They want to keep the glass ceiling, saying you can spend more if you earn more makes them look forward thinking, but keeping the glass ceiling of not being able to earn as much through the sponsorship fair value test will be what holds it back.

I very much doubt that they are going to throw those rules away, especially when they only voted for some a week or so ago.

The problem is that they will still have the rules over sponsorships etc still in place. It means fuck all until that is dealt with.

If we did that then it would be nice for some sort of paths to be put into the Town Moor, just enough for the hoppings and potentially other festivals, but not enough to interfere with the grazing cattle.

I was just looking at the rules there, apparently it can be closed before the game, or at half time, but at no other time.

Isn’t there still some weird laws that prevents football games being played in stadiums with a closed roof? I remember when the cup finals were at the Millennium stadium, there was one that had loads of rain and usually they would close the roof for the rugby, but were not allowed to for the football. It seems pointless now when modern stadiums with roofs are the size of a 30 story building.

If they don’t go up, price it right and we could sell out SJP for that match.

This. No need to dive. This is the sort of stuff that should be punished.

He still fucking dived. He was clearly going to get clattered, and he still fucking dived.

WBA are currently beating Burnley, so if the results stay the same then you can realistically say that Burnley will be out of the title race and it would only be down to Newcastle, and Forest.

You were so close to a great Simpsons reference there.

Is there no streaming?

No you won’t, everyone knows that the North Sea Dolphins are Sunderland fans, North Sea is mackemland guys.

I’m playing along with your joke man.
