Our referee on Saturday against Leicester, is Robert Madley. I had expected Chris Foy to be "stood down", unfortunately not, he is doing Cambridge v Manchester United.
Angel di Maria has his photo with Spurs legend Ramon Vega spoiled by some midget getting in the way: please log in to view this image Move, shorty!
Madley was in charge of the Newcastle v Southampton game on the weekend. You know, the one with the handball. Oh dear. He did our game at Swansea earlier in the season, too. Another Northerner. Yorkshire, this time. One of the young ones that's been pushed through. Not 30 yet.
Sad to hear that Nacer Chadli's dad has passed away. He was 72 and had been ill for some time, apparently.
I see we are 13th in the rich list,with Man u 2nd,and Chelsea,the goons,Man City and Pool,between 6 and9,so we are round about,were we should be in the p/l,pool richer,below us!
Not a bad position to be in. I've never been sure about offering players with cash especially if the proposed team has never had eyes on the players being offered. It seems a lightweight sort of arrangement to me. I certainly wouldn't want Spurs to accept a player plus cash deal especially if we'd never wanted said player. A slot has to be found for somebody not in the coach's plans so I hope we never do it.
And the Goons only 2 points ahead and Utd only 3. Their wealth hasn't had the full effect so far this season (I am aware they will both now disappear into the distance).
Page has posted a nice table of it here http://www.not606.com/threads/united-out-of-top-3-rich-list-for-first-time.289667/ Our Rev is £180m, Goons £300m and Utd £430m. The extra £120m and £250m has bought 2 and 3 points.
Southampton, Swansea and Stoke all in the top 30 - which shows just how much money there is sloshing about in the PL.
Interesting table posted on the Chelsea board about shirt demographics. Ours is ......... Some of the others are funny Pool, Utd, City having their own cities way down the list http://www.sportsdirect.com/News/en...5-Where-Are-Your-Teams-Supporters-Really-From
Umm... The distance from Lagos to Boko Haram's strongholds in the North is about the distance from London to Poland
Nearly as many people bought Liverpool shirts in Manchester as Liverpool (each only around 5 to 6% of sales)! Who are these people?? And 7% sold in Bristol Around 13% of City shirts sold in Fijnaart (Holland) - under 5% in Manchester! Almost a quarter of Villa shirts sold in Dublin, only 16% in Birmingham and 8% in Preston! Some weird stats.
Expect transfer window bids by United for Lee Cattermole, Tom Carroll and Tabby Agbonlahor. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...lled-squash-rodent-problems-Old-Trafford.html
