Commercial usage I understand but by sky/BBC/Daily Mirror etc having a man of the match make it commercial and not selling that phrase is it commercial usage ?

Fair enough if they invent something themselves but this is shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Spent my evening watching the 95/96 season review (So Close!) I used to watch that fucking thing every week on VHS Been a while since I've seen it, was nice to dive into that nostalgia trip and remember just how good we were. Still hurts seeing us drop points after Christmas Hope we can have something similar for the next generation of NUFC fans, except with a happier ending (a cup win or two).

leffe186 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Swiss Ramble (an Arsenal fan tbf) has done some educated estimating and reckons they should just about be OK under UEFA’s new rules. Seems like Arsenal have done the maths…but they’re walking a tightrope. It’s one reason why they really really need top four this year. An injury to Jesus and/or Partey could make things very interesting: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Arsenal have spent A LOT of money. Interestingly, they are looking to spend more on a RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't built a galactico team in years. Being in debt isn't that important if you are able to cover it, Tottenham are the most in debt club in the world, I don't think that means UEFA should be sanctioning them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-FFP but the sale of their training ground was the biggest grift ever.

Watched that "Rise and Fall of the ESL" documentary and couldn't help thinking that Ceferin had a whiff about him. How UEFA subsequently dealt with the scab clubs sort of confirmed it.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Arsenals spending has been fairly consistent over the past 4-5 years at £120m to £150m. when you consider that each year rolls on and off the same value of cost for a consistent annual spend the FFP rules are only in jeopardy with a drop in income. Basically their costs are not increasing with the outlay Covid losses take care of the last 2 years of no Champions League but they will need a season of CL income you would have thought in the next year or 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
