26.1 million £ in salaries for an NPC team is astronomical though. Take away the riff-raff and it means that all of our high profile players were probably on at least 20K a week

there you go, no point looking at out of date figures. NPC revenue has nothing to do with the PL, that's why we're so out of sync.

probably not worth 18 million €. Far too many cards, would be suspended half the time in the UK.

so did Phil Jones about 3 months before he signed for Utd., contracts means nothing to top teams when they're recruiting. If the decision has been reached to sign any of our players they could have contracts until the year 3000 and it wouldn't make an iota of difference, you know like AOC. Now with the financial fair play system teams will look for value for money and I think we have plenty of that. We know absolutely nothing about player's contracts, for all we know they could all have release threshold clauses.

such as? If these players move on it's because they're looking for an "upmarket solution" and not the inverse.

why bomb the tail-enders of a marathon anyway.An hour earlier would have made much more sense...well to a terrorist anyway. Perhaps someone has something against slow marathon runners, real runners don't take 4 hours +. You never know with them crazy yanks.

no they don't

cos he wanted to make reference to Dyer nicking stuff of course. Old joke worn out years ago.

In fact Fox seems to have a wholly negative influence on our play. More pressure on Jos, Morgan has to drop deep and wide half of the time to at least shepherd wide players into Fox's path cos he doesn't get close enough etc etc etc. That's why we absolutely need a new left back for next season, Shaw seems fragile and probably can only be expected to play about half of the games as yet.

we should be OK for a couple of kung fu drop kicks on Michu then, Halsey won't notice.

In my view Gaston still lacks fitness both mental and physical to last any more than 55/60 minutes as of yet. Other than that he could be clapped out for this season, played in the Olympics and has been shuttling back and forth for internationals. I suppose he's on about 35/36 games since the start of last summer already.

tbh we have absolutely no idea what Forren's real level actually is. He obviously wasn't MP Saints fit and is working on that. Mayuka seems to be the same sort of thing. That's the trouble with players coming from Micky leagues, they can be as good as you like but if they aren't fit enough to withstand the intensity, both physical and mental, of the EPL they'll look rubbish.

Perhaps I should have written Basel, less confusion.

adverse reaction to a cautionary MMR injection because some other team had a case recently put 5 Clermont Rugby players out of the game yesterday. Fragile as Lucho seems perhaps we don't want to do that just now.

Spurs couldn't beat Bale and they aren't that good. Think the season is too long for Spurs, expect them to finish 5th. We could well assist in making that happen.

I think we have to accept that as we progress up the echelons there will be some rotation. Rooney doesn't play every week, Torres and Ba seem to alternate. Anyway it's just a bit of a whimsical idea of mine, Torres will return to Spain this summer I think, unless of course Rafa gets a "big job" elsewhere.

I have been, known to chide for the use of "defense" from time to time. Usually by explaining that they wouldn't write "fense" so why defense. But as the french word is in fact defense it usually doesn't register nowadays.

they might get a draw, still think Villa have it all to do myself. Awful fixtures, 3 relegation scrappers, United and Chelsea plus an awful GD. Just can't see them getting out of trouble with their sawtoothed form.

wrapped up ? 2 losses and Chelsea could be on their heels and Arsenal ahead of them albeit wiuth more games played. Can't see them coasting at all. It's going to be tight for 2nd 3rd and 4th cos there are 4 candidates for 3 places.

Ahh an Epsilon...got it.

Anyway I'd put in a cheeky bid for Torres.

Remy is about 26 I think, Astori the same although I would be very very circumspect over him, a card king, 8 yellows and 2 reds in 26 league games is really a bit shameful.

Always been the target for survival as far as I'm concerned, now we need to get as high as possible because at some 750K a place the difference between 17th and 11th buys you a handy player.

perhaps he's a fair play afficionado and was outraged because Vaughan was clearly offside. Awful reffing, penalties refused by the score,offside goal given, good goal disallowed for offside.yellow cards instead of straight reds, clueless all of them.

but you need to take GD and remaining fixtures into account. 38 points and a respectable GD is enough. Not all of the teams below us on or potentially on 34 points will get 5 more than us. We're just playing for the place money now.
