    What’s even more worrying is that Fosse works in finance <laugh>

    Anyway the big question today is as much as @Big Ern hates Arsenal

    Will he sink as low as the fragile Spurs fans did last week and cheer on a City goal if they score against West Ham ?

    He probably caused the 2007 housing market crash.
    Doesn't know the difference between revenue and capital.

    Apparently The Big Short is based on Fosse.

    He don't want to chat about the IDF anymore on the war thread, he writes Spurs bolloxs instead now. <laugh>

    Just don't go asking for a two state solution in North London for Arsenal. :bandit:

    I think there's every chance West Ham could help you out, but that's not the question for me, the question is will you bottle it against Everton? <whistle>

    I do indeed mate - since 1986 and still in demand now ... but not the run of the mill spreadsheet jockey stuff like Citizen Blinkered <laugh> ...

    .. but what I actually do certainly enables me to see the flaws in directives and iniatives imposed or designed to favour the rich or the 'haves' ... and on an Global basis not just UK centric ... but that obviously means I don't vote Tory as well <cheers>

    We absolutely have to beat Everton that's a given, and that's our priority.

    After that we can only hope that West Ham get something at City.

    That part is out of our hands, but we're all Alf Garnett today right ?

    I'm always West Ham or Crystal Palace, I'm just never Arsenal...

    So I think the Hammers should just put their feet up today, they won't and it will certainly make it interesting. If I was a betting man I wouldn't know which way to call it, honestly wouldn't....fate will decide....it feels like a surprise is on the cards, it's been building up to this for a while, but fate can be so cruel at times. <laugh>.

    It’s Sunday and I don’t really want to spend all day discussing this, so a quick summary;
    • Leicester are one of the oldest clubs in existence.
    • In terms of finance you have pretty much been subjected to the same rules as everyone else. The fact you haven’t capitalised on it, as one of the oldest clubs, is a Leicester problem.
    • Whether it’s this ownership group or a previous one, Leicester city have entered administration, defaulted on stadium building costs, paid a £3m fine and are now in danger of a points deduction for overspending again.
    • Sky have created most of the issues we have today. The moment they threw obscene amounts of money at top flight football, owners have overstretched trying to maintain or reach this cash cow. Leicester have been no different.
    • Whilst not perfect FFP has tried to introduce checks and balances to manage some restraint that owners, including your own, are either unable or unwilling to do. The average fan think City and Chelsea have taken the piss, but still shouldn’t detract for what FFP is trying to do.
    • The reality is that the clubs who generate the biggest income will have the most to spend.
    In summary, it’s nothing to do with the big 6 clubs mate, it’s a history of Leicester city mismanagement.
    As a final point, what’s happened to the stadium expansion? This will generate additional revenue and is exempt from the FFP calculations. If you look at the big 6, they have all invested, apart from Utd, in infrastructure projects. You can’t blame other clubs when Leicester are sitting on there hands.

    Southampton installed triangular blocks on the touchline to stop West Brom utilising their long throw ins last night at St Mary’s.

    They ended up winning the match 3-1.

    Genius!

    Does Kalvin shake the hands of the West Ham players, then go and collect a PL winners medal ?

    Hopefully nobody is collecting a PL winners medal at the Etihad today.
