Fenham Mag Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 West Brom Fan: Firstly, what is it with a 90 minute wankfest by the commentators over the Geordie massive? I thought I'd pressed the fooking fanzone button by mistake. If I was a Forest fan I'd be fuming. I think the only Forest player who got a mention was Perch and that's because he managed to keep 'world class' Gutierrez in check. Who is a diving cheating bastard, while we're at it. They're on telly more than Jeremy bleeding Kyle. Secondly, time for a reality check. Newcastle are in a similar situation to us. They have one or two players who are Premiership class. Andy Carroll, for instance, will be made to look stupid by Prem defenders. As will Routledge, Ameobi, Guthrie, and most of the rest of the squad. And no. despite the dribblings of the local rag up here, Carroll will not be on the plane to South Africa unless he's going there on fucking holiday. And Messi must look at Gutierrez in training for Argentina and think 'how the fook has this happened?' Thirdly, the fans. Has there ever been a group of fans so firmly stuck up their own rectums? I had a row in a bar last year with a lad who told me that I should want them to stay up as they are such a massive club and a credit to the Premiership. You deluded fucknuts. Yes you're getting 40,000 crowds now but where the hell were you all in 1991 when you had 11,000 against us? You are not 'the loyalist football supporters the world has ever had'. Although you may, indeed, be the fattest. Which brings me on to another thing. Not wearing coats and taking your shirts off when it's sub zero and pissing it down doesn't mean you're hard; it means that you're retarded. If you must show off those pecs that you've obtained by drinking dog and eating pies, at least go to the gym so you don't look like walking heart attacks. Lovely city. Odious club.

M4 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I like how in so many other fans' views the few seasons of low attendances 20 years ago carry so much more weight than almost constant full capacity in the 20 years since then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBA basketball teams carry 12 to 15 players. NFL football teams carry 50 to 70 players I think, and I believe American baseball has somewhere around 30 players. Therefore, there is a massive difference as to what the teams are actually paying as total wages. Only American baseball is comparable. Also, all the American sports seasons, with the exception of baseball I believe are shorter than European football seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, all the American sports seasons, with the exception of baseball I believe are shorter than European football seasons. Baseball season is 162 games (+ the possiblity of playoff series). The NBA season is longer as well-- 82 games (+ playoffs) . Another important factor is that each MLB club sells its own broadcasting rights for whatever the market will bare. The Yankees make a lot of money from televison. Smal market clubs like those from Cincinnati or Pittsburgh relatively little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Our wage bill Reportedly it's 60% of our turnover which supposedly is healthy. But still. We also paid a HUGE amount of bonuses this year due to all the trophy wins, which I don't know if it's accounted for in that list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Notts County striker Delroy Facey was arrested last weekend by cops armed with tasers after a man was stabbed in broad daylight. More StoriesRiot police pepper spray footballers Adebayor gun T-shirt sparks outcry Bulgarian club promised calf for Cup win Match abandoned after less than a minute Beckhams 'must endure sex ban' Bookie to ignore Henry's goals ..The League Two player was ordered to kneel on the ground with a friend after police stopped their car. The arrest happened in Huddersfield just minutes after a man with stab wounds appealed to drinkers outside a pub for help, and the police were called. Facey, 29, and the other man, 22, were arrested on suspicion of wounding. They were questioned and released on unconditional police bail later in the day. Three suspects aged 30, 22, and 16 were then later charged with assault and public order offences. Facey began his career at hometown club Huddersfield before spells at Bolton, Tranmere, Rotherham and Gillingham. He has also been capped twice at international level for Grenada. A cult figure at current club Notts County, fans this year named March 19 as 'Delroy Facey Day' in tribute to the player's hard work for the club. Notts County confirmed they were aware of the incident but refused to comment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
