gbandit Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I f***ing hate international football. Such lacklustre affairs on the whole. Just throwing a team together for one or two weeks at a time. Hardly surprising most teams look shite in these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 To be frank, most foreigners probably look at the map, see Newcastle so far up north and think it's just full of sheep. Dark age levels of Geographical education in mainland Europe or something else? I'm sure there are many similarly sized cities in Spain that you have little to no knowledge of... Regional characteristics squire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/sep/06/premier-league-salary-cap Salary cap seems reasonable idea to me tbh, it's getting more and more ridiculous year on year However apparently we're against it Other clubs, including Fulham, Everton, West Bromwich Albion, Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur, are also understood to question whether clubs need new regulations, rather than being trusted to manage their own affairs.

Now that makes no sense, does it? We'd clearly benefit from more teams being forced to work their finances properly. I'm content with the fact that Champions League is the key to mount a serious threat to the top four. However, that will not be the case as long as the FFFP rules do not apply. I think our policy, and experience from working within the limitations that we've set ourselves in recent years, would give us a massive advantage was it to be implemented. Strange.

So basically hoping that Manchester City & United, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and maybe Liverpool go bust. Would be the ultimate "Guess who wins again".

AlanSkÃrare Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 In 30 World Cup-qualifiers during the 21st century, Sweden have conceded only 12 goals. No Mellberg now though so that's probably about to change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 http://swissramble.blogspot.ch/2012/09/uefas-ffp-regulations-play-to-win.html interesting article on FFP. Hadn't realised how low our match day revenues were compared to rival clubs. We only generate 1.2 million a match, whereas Spurs with a capacity of 36,000 generate 1.6 million a match. Liverpool generate 1.5 million with a capacity of 45,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
