But Jos and Osvaldo had been out on loan, perhaps we were subsidising those a bit though. The rest are just small beer and probably don't make half of Gaston alone.

Well no, we know that the wage bill went up from 13/14 to 14/15, it's in the accounts. Then if you're suggesting that the sums paid to Cedric, Juanmi, Stekelenburg, VanDijk Clasie, Romeu and Martina+ Gaston coming back are less than those paid to Morgan, Toby and Clyne then I'd suggest that you need to think again.

Not really, the problem is incoming fees tend to get overestimated and outgoing fees underestimated. We have sold players for somewhere around 120 million over the last 2 summers, with the purchases made and the loan fees paid I don't see there being a whole lot left.

I see that Chip has been fired then, much ado about nothing I suppose, expected him to do a lot better than he actually has. Mind you with his revolving door QB and RB policies I guess there's no real surprise. Whatever gave him the idea of trading Foles for Bradford is anyone's guess.

An extremely flawed character, not to be touched with the proverbial barge-pole.

Where is he now then ?

But the "lot of money" we got in over the last 2 summers has all been spent, Ralphie's honour. We do not have massive stockpiles of cash just waiting to be wasted.

I'v not seen all of the match yet but I didn't see much "discussable" about the first goal, well apart from some poor defending by Arsenal that is. Arse were poor, Wenger needs to accept that.

Sunny and mild but a bit parky in the evenings. Best winter we've had for years, mind you I expect we'll have snow on the ground mid-June to make up for it.

That'll be handy for him then, I think he's fallen out with the old one.

Why ? Are there ever U21 regulars on the bench of late ?

Well I'm going to see how it goes, I don't really expect to get anything from this match so I'll not be overly disappointed in any case, unless of course we're just absolutely abysmal. Most have written the game off anyway and sometimes we get a pleasant surprise when we've done that. Like Everton last year, mind you Arsenal...well it's not Everton is it.

Wouldn't count on it if I were you. Hardly played at Boro I believe so he's probably no more apt for the PL than when he went away.

A completely middle of the road 4 points.

No, the total salary mass including directors, cleaners and sales girls went up to 70 million in 2014/15. Whereas FFP refers only to players and coaches salaries and does not include anything else.

Absolutely, unless we're going to pension off Stek or send back Caulker. The Red Tops do not consider PL rules when speculating though.

French bloke, came from Auxerre originally I think, has had a few decent games for the Bleuets so that's good but Utrecht is way way down the ladder and I'm surprised we're looking that far down.

My my what a surprise, the "pathway" disappeared up it's own backside about 18 months ago. Probably why Hunter hasn't been much in the news of late.

Another commercial stunt then.

But we kicked out of the slump before Christmas last year although it's true that we lost 4 on the trot, both Manchester clubs at home, Arsenal away and surprisingly Burnley, we were also far better placed before the slump started. This season we've lost 4 out of our last 5 in the league, with a miserable home draw in the other game and have suffered that ignominious defeat at home by Liverpool in the league cup, a defeat which seems to have totally demoralised many a fan.

Bloody well hope not, FIFA is already a banana republic, they need someone straight as an arrow to sort it out . Mind you having said that Lord Seb looks to be in a facheuse position already at the IAAF. I think the answer is for all those global firms to stop giving that sort of institution shedloads of cash for doing fark all, it's just asking to be snaffled up in devious ways.

Didn't we beat them last season ? The Arse have off days you know.

But he did carry out some sort of mission for which he was paid much later. If he hadn't got involved with the Qataris he might have got away with it.

Causing me serious problems, wife insists on watching Downton Abbey at the same time, I'll have to PC it I suppose.

Can't they afford their own high grade booze then? I know the Arse are stingy but .............
