Utterly ridiculous that we're the first team this season to be charged like this. Of course, us threatening Liverpool's place at the top of the Fair Play league wouldn't have anything at all to do with it eh?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21750909 Only 3 votes against. I was expecting it to be heavily one-sided, but that's incredible.

One thing that might work against them is that the last punishment applied outside of the FL's rules under their own discretion (ie. ours) WAS carried over.

Fixed.

Think we have a case of suspiciously specific wording here...

Nope

My advice is to try kickstarter. http://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/kickstarter%20basics?ref=nav

Maybe we shouldn't be favourites to win on our current form, but by that same form, I certainly wouldn't rate Norwich as having enough to contain us to nil.

PPs are a percentage of the total amount of revenue the Prem gets IIRC, so all the teams due PPs will be getting the extra, if true.

Honestly, right now, **** off. Come back later.

FFS >_ At least other results are going our way.

Great news! When was the last time we lost a player we wanted to keep hold of? Oxlade-Chamberlain?

Pretty sure we would have needed the win because Pompey laid down against West Brom? But yeah, I still get ****ed off with the ref remembering that Arsenal game even now.

Maybe it's the PST missing it? Really wouldn't surprise me. It's blatantly obvious that the players made a huge mistake agreeing to any compromise at all if they wanted to see their money.

So, they've promised first dibs on the August parachute payments to the council, according to the BBC. That means they need to renegotiate with the players, no wonder the PFA isn't happy. Guess the former players already owed money are easier to negotiate with than PCC who they're trying to get to lend them money.

The replies to that are funny.

Glad about that personally, normally calls our games right down the middle.

The only possible out I see left for them is a rich backer throwing their lot in with the PST, backing them with enough gifted cash to bail out the club.

http://www.sportsclubstats.com/England/Premier.html This one is good as well. Uses previous results to estimate strength and simulates all remaining fixtures two million times. The numbers are percentages that the team finished in that position. They also do League One http://www.sportsclubstats.com/England/LeagueOne.html

Decent set of results there, with the added bonus of Reading losing a player for three games. Giggs is unbelievable, next appearance will be his 1000th senior game!

Get in Arsenal!

Should a miracle happen and they survive til next season, they have the prospect of possibly facing Kidderminster Harriers or Forest Green next season

Considering the fact they played Thursday, have some of their best players out, we're above them in the league, we're coming of the back of some of the best form we've had all season, that form coming against top teams, aaaand we've had a two week break for Tino to get his style across to us more and improve fitness, not to mention we humiliated them at our place, and I can see where their fans' confidence that they'll beat us comes from.

Looks like Ben Arfa isn't going to be risked yet either.
