So for those keeping track, our biggest creative threat from central midfield - and one of the best in the whole league - is...a centre back? please log in to view this image
Someone calculated touches in the box per penalty for each team a while back. Arsenal and Chelsea was about a hundred. Ours was close to a thousand!
Fouls against (per game) : PL average = 10.74, Spurs = 13.7 Fouls committed (per game) : PL average = 11.11, Spurs = 10.9
Liverpool were 4th at around 130. The other member of the "Top 4" was Sheffield United. They've had half as many penalties, but also take half as many touches.
Also, bit rich of Kid Starver to talk about beating hope out of people over the course of 14 years when he did it in a little over three...
Agreed, And accepted, if somebody can show me : 1. how this in the main helps the likely number of Forest supporters from their parish who will be attending the game. 2. that supporters from all sides will be compensated for any financial hit that the change causes.

Via https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/the-club/investor-relations/annual-reports ... https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/media/v24hfkyo/tottenham-hotspur-limited-300623.pdf (FFS why can the club not generate a fully indexed PDF doc !!?? ) ... Page 4 is the salient "executive summary" . My musings on what IMHO are key points of note : 1. Peak match day revenue appears to be stabilising. 2. The revenue streams from PL participation (placing, broadcast interest) are similarly stable (and for all the money sloshing about - quite equitable) 3. If the above is true, then regular CL participation is now vital 4. Commercial revenue (club and new WHL related) is increasing, and if that is peak + stable it alone covers the debt interest servicing on new WHL (so "zero sum" in that regard)
So, the final part of the jigsaw has been found (why did it take so long) and is soon to be put in place... ENIC are looking to take on new investment to expand the equity in the club... "the board and its advisors, Rothschild & Co, are in discussions with prospective investors as the club needs to continue to invest in the teams and undertake future capital projects, the club requires a significant increase in its equity base". Finally, we're going to have significant non-football money to carry out all of the non-football activities!!! Halle-****ing-leujah!!
I am unclear as to whether people are seeing the same things (so would welcome differing comments on this) . My reading on the annual report + "equity" statement is that short of a new WHL "naming rights" cash injection, and regular CL income, that revenues from domestic on-pitcn performance are not going to keep pace with PL transfer/wage fee inflation. With the creeping FFP regimes, if that meant a PL crash on those fees (a "hard reset" ) , then that would be good. But given that means Citeh will need to be punished severely, I cannot see that.
