£140m and counting recouped. £20m out. Hell of a war chest they are sitting on. Nicely covers the PL money they’d lose if they were relegated for financial irregularities…

Hurst is the Wurst.

First decision that goes against him we’ll see the twat in him come out. He’ll be a great fit for the World’s Most Soulful Club.

Hodor-k.

Hot take but any thoughts on Man City’s lack of spending? Priming their PSR for a season in the Champo and loss of PL/ECL revenues for 1 year/2 years?

The “poor sellers” aspect of the window has been the thing that’s grated. How a team that’s finished 4th and 7th can’t shift its fringe players beyond its most exciting potential winger and a PSR scam remains a puzzler. No appetite to sell, too high wages, manager wanting to keep them? Answers on a postcard please. Let’s see what the last couple of days bring but the window has been underperformance in terms of both ins and outs.

Uneasy Ryder

They’re doing us zero favours. Their league is part of a much bigger project for them, we’re a side trinket.

It’s not just us - PSR is throttling the market. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c74ljpezv1lo

A point more than we got here last season. Add that to the two additional points we got from Southampton vs their equivalent promoted club that was relegated (Luton), we’re conceivably 3 points off than the same games last season.

Had it been someone else I’d have dug them out too but he’s arguably the most high profile face and view on the UK’s premier platform. Hardly a glowing endorsement when you’ve got him and thick as mince Jamie Redknapp carrying the torch.

I mean even a throwaway comment about a West Ham or Brighton, or NUFC, would have given the piece a bit more credibility. Carragher is ahead on his awareness.

Sat and watched the Gary Neville Podcast on Sky Sports YouTube this morning and he was asked who had a good/bad transfer window so far and he couldn’t answer beyond the Cartel 6. Really shows what the Other 14 are up against, this ingrained focus and attention span on six clubs only. Defaults to Chelsea and Man Utd inevitably. Think it starts about 25 minutes in:

Snap call. If Arsenal win this, they win the title.

Meh. I’d be struggling to see any of the three hitting 20 points by Christmas and Leicester are expecting to be brutalised by a points deduction.

Boro aren’t going anywhere. They’ve choked the last couple of seasons and now they’re treading water. Always love the Dirty Yorkshire puddings in the PL.

“Touching me, touching you…”

They’ll be ok, the three promoted teams are absolute dogshit.

Hopefully the gimpy Palace Ultras might retire their black hoodies for a couple of weeks.

It’s a win-win. They either fuck up and end up blowing their season up and have another loss making year in the 6, or they come up and become whipping boys for a year.

Loving Southampton folding like a cheap south coast deck chair. The useless shites will be Championship check ins by March.

He’s being very tender with the skipper, no headlock so far.

I actually think this happens after today. They’d be wise to cash in and think that’s what’ll happen.

The useless nerd cunt will be drafting some equally inane babel on formations.
