Figures 1-0 Football

Legia Warsaw arranged that and we struggled to get more than 1,000 fans to hold up nasty cards about Ashley and Pardew ffs

I am totally shocked that this Neymar deal appears to be as bent as everyone thought it would be.

Was trying to see myself, are you sure it's not Ritchie? Ritchie, I thought - but I only saw it live and not any replays.

Not sure how Neymar will take that mind, having to play with other players.

The guaranteed TV money is spread over the season, you get a monthly payment for it. So actual cash we've received so far, is not too high.

I found this, which looks fairly good: http://cdn.totalsportek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Premier-League-TV-rights-money-distribution-final-infograph.jpg

Last season: 8th - Southampton - £127.6m 17th - Watford - £108.5m

not sure he is, clearly didn't want to play for Bruce. Grayson got something out of McGeady last year when most thought he was done, he's probably thinking he can do the same with McCormack, it's a unecessary risk for Villa iyam. He's on loan. So he'll not be able to play against Villa, but will be able to play against all of Villa competitors for promotion. Villa wont look at the mackems as one of those promotion chasing teams (as nobody does), therefore it is win-win for Villa. They'll then be able to shift him for a better fee next season, if he has a good year. If not then they've lost nothing extra than they already have and will have saved a few quid on his wages. Plus, they'll have got rid of the bad attitude he quite clearly has.

Said it in the match thread but I'm really impressive with Lejeune from what I've seen so far.

He looked fairly neat and tidy today, to be fair.

Agree but he was dreadful until the goal today mind! And Gayle was dreadful in a lot of games last season, but scored, and people used that as a sign that he was a good striker. Mitro has done reasonably well this pre-season, looks a lot trimmer and fitter than he has been since he's been with us and has clearly worked on his work rate - closing down significantly more, whereas previously he'd just lumber around the field. As I've previously said, he's already knocked the ridiculous red cards/theatrics on the head and seems to be more controlled aggression. He's young and needs to improve more, but he's looking better and better the longer he works under Rafa imo.

What's wrong with that? We have too many players. It's quite staggering how people are still struggling with this.

That bit of play from Merino

FYP

Lejuene looks like a superb signing, from what I've seen.

We were 4/1 before the game, put a cheeky fiver on it. Currently on course to pay for my beers tonight. What a great day.

Wonder in what game we'll clinch winning the league then?

Hearing Rafa makes me like

MITROOOOO

Unreal that

This looks a lot like 4-4-2 like. Mitro and Perez staying high together.

Our fans treating this like a proper vocal warm up for the season

I'm having a class experience learning German this afternoon whilst working from home. Also learnt the value of an old wardrobe.

Just as one of their players has came out and said that nobody gives a shit, they go ahead and sign a player that doesn't give a shit
