    Well ****ing great for them. That stat is only good if you think tactical fouling is some sort of bad thing, it isnt.

    That would be great if Tactical fouling wasn't an integral and awesome part of football, and utilised excellently by many clubs for over a hundred years.

    I think it's pathetic to outspend your opponents by hundreds of millions of pounds and then also have to deliberately foul them whenever it's their turn to attack. Makes the whole thing less interesting to me.

    I suppose Spanish fans are fine with watching their players simulate career ending injuries every time an opponent approaches them, but that's unwatchable to me.

    You can draw the line on acceptable and unacceptable cheating wherever you want but for me Pep's football is unattractive.

    I've got no argument that Pep is a very, very good manager. I do that he's some sort of genius though, that's just bollocks.

    Got tactically out thought by a clown who gave 90 minutes to a championship turd yesterday though.

    The latest i know from bobstats.com liverpool are only winning the league due to their +43 tactical fouling differential.

    They also have a +31 goal var goals differential

  14. Yep.

    Today, it would cost well over £100m. Plus, there’s the asset value of the land,infrastructure, players, etc.

    £250m doesn’t seem a lot, to me.

    Don't think player valuations are used to calculate a clubs value.

  19. So, you’re trying to tell me that a buyer isn’t going to take into account who plays for the club before making an offer to buy the club?

    Okay.

    They wouldn’t add much to ours anyway tbf. We’re probably in negative equity, when you count in all the overpaid cloggers currently on loan.
