    Lovely - I love stuff about my club - thanks

    Think the only thing you've left out was winning the Prem League having spent only a fraction of what it took the others (comparitably) ... oh ... and winning the FA Cup in the last 5 years too ... you missed that as well ...

    ... and FFP is still a farce ...

    Hope you enjoy the rest of your day ... <cheers>

    Not me mate - can't stand them ... but some peeps would rather get an excel upgrade than watch a game ...

    There is no fair play - there never has been - the clubs that spend the most win the most - do they? - well give me a lobotomy and change my name to Denizen Daft - the spend to honours equation is especially true when it comes to winning league titles (with a couple of notable exceptions) ...

    So tell you what - let's introduce measures that we'll call 'fair play' that make football less competitive and inhibit the development of clubs with ambitious, incredibly rich, owners ...<doh>

    Hope so too but extremely unlikely.
    If City get an early goal it could be a landslide.

    I use to think he was someones sock, but there is nobody on here that writes that much, and even @Treble wouldn't lower himself to pretend to be a Spurs fan.

    Tbf mate I've seen you quoting reams of numbers trying to defend Lesta as much as anyone trying to criticise it. You're all bonkers <laugh>

    You only got into the PL in the first place by overspending and fiddling accounts when you were in the Championship.

    You should be stripped of that title and it should be handed to the team who finished second.....




    Arsenal <wah>

    Yes.

    We sit around all day with Levy analysing spreadsheets in our nice and spacious trophy room.

    It's not Levy though is it. Nobody's knocking him, it's his job. It's you and the rest who post pages on this bollox that I find insane.

    There’s a rumour some West Ham players have caught a bug, Bowen also has an illness.

    I'm not defending my club against breaking the parameters that have been imposed mate - not one bit - if there are technicalities that the lawyers can exploit, fair enough, give them a go ... otherwise guilty as charged ...

    What I'm having a pop at is the concept off FFP and 'sustainability' as applied to footie in the first place and the myths behind it's introduction...

    Bring in spending caps on transfers and wages but we're going to exclude infrastructure costs from outlay restrictions even though they are likely to dwarf the former ... and even though they all have to be met from the same financial pot ... what utter contrived bollocks - who does that benefit?

    I'm sure Spurs new ground, Liverpool's extended stands and United needing what's looking like a complete refurbishment of Old Trafford had nothing to do with permitted exclusion thinking ... <laugh>

    Football is a business ... unfortunately but it is - but in no other business I can think of are investors prohibited in investing or have their investment funds inhibited in terms of the area of the business they seek to improve ...

    The whole thing makes the Premier League less competitive... those that think otherwise are either in cloud cuckoo land or support the Big 6 and don't want to have more competition for CL etc ...

    Just my opinion of course ...<laugh>

    Sorry mate - you can only make 500 under the FFP rules as your chairman's failed the utter **** test for more than 5 seasons in a row ... <whistle>
