Just had a look at these. Remember this is for the year up to June 2019, so over a year out of date already. - turnover was the same as the previous year, although we only had a ten month accounting year in the previous year so on an annualised basis it was actually down (fewer tv appearances) - operating costs were £30m higher - turnover was £149m against costs of £140m - we made a transfer profit of £54m in the previous year but only 400k in this year - first team salary is £85m - total wages are £100m - total salary costs including pensions etc are £115m against turnover of £149m (77%) - we owe £47m in transfer fees - we are owed £21m in transfer fees - the company is owned by a HK company but the ultimate owner remains a BVI company controlled by Jisheng Goa - the recent loan appears to be for £80m ! This is not part of the annual accounts as it is post June 2019 but was confirmed before these accounts were published so is obviously material enough to mention. The previous working capital facility was for £20m.

Or a duel carriagway.

He didn't say it was dual carriageway.

Samba time.

He normally shafts us but today he's helped us out.

I always fancy a pint of Gazprom during the Champions League.

But a blatant red if it was a foul!

I don't think they can review if it was a foul. Just the card. Which is mental.

Then a mess from VAR as well. #mess

What a mess from Mason. It's a red card if it's a foul. And it wasn't a foul.

Everton defending like 90s Saints

Ings is quality. Armstrong and Redmond really enjoying popping it into him and running off him.

But it was at least a challenge. Unlike ours where Prowse fell into a defender. Neither should have been given.

That's more of a pen.

I agree that he fell into the defender.

are you serious? He just fell over.

Prowsey knew it.

That's never a pen. Haha

Stephens stitches Armstrong up.

Home one looks smart. The red trim on the white one looks shite and ruins it overall. I am told the away kit is black. LD Sports looks awful.

I believe I made this point many, many pages ago. A virus running rampant through the population causes economic contraction. People in the UK were adopting self-imposed measures before the official lock down began but this needed to be supplemented by a decent testing and containment programme. The government in the UK was slow, muddled and misguided. From the start, the proper experts in this field advocated rapid precautionary responses, with a focus on testing and tracing and isolating outbreaks. We did none of that and followed some sort of managed growth fantasy.

Agreed. Seems like a good bloke and did a good job against City but Valery has made him look better than he is. If we can get him signed quickly and fairly cheaply then I’m ok with it but you know it won’t work like that and we should be looking elsewhere as well. RB, CB and LB (unless Vokins is considered good enough) have to be our priorities.

Can I just say.... Hahaha, fuck you, skates!

Great performance. Shows how managers are on a hiding to nothing though. If we set up like that in the second half and conceded two, which we easily could have, this place would be full of people saying we were too negative and one goal was never enough etc... But anyway, fair play to the team for pulling that grit and effort off after we hit the 40 points. JWP, Armstrong, Ings and Redmond are really well suited to Ralph’s tactics. If we can add some competition at the back (really we need a RB, LB - unless Vokins is good enough - and CB) and a bit more quality in centre mid we’ve got a decent squad. It’s a shame we had such a shite start to the season as this is a “Europe opportunity” year with the Man City ban and Arse and Spurs not being great.

Adam's!!!
