Yes I have - indeed had an Uncle who played in the same academy side as Duncan Edwards and Bobby Charlton ... but doesn't change my point ...

Real Madrid are the most successful club in World football - they have also spent an absolute fortune to be it ...

You and Liverpool (I haven't checked this) have likely set more 'British record' transfers per player position than any other club - but there's no correlation between spending and success ... <doh>

Now back in your 'executive' box ...

It doesn't prove anything.

We've had this conversation before, success brings in crowds and sponsorship and that in itself is money to be invested on more success.

Its not the same as the conversation we're having. It isn't, why do you keep saying it is? United were not given a load of money, it's made up bullshit.

Were Leicester in the PL when it started, pretty sure you were, right? So, you got the same opportunity as everyone else in that league, which included West Ham and Newcastle and all the others moaning it's not fair.

You pap on enough about how we got relegated in the 70's, like it's relevant to anything, but during that time we still have the largest crowd in the whole league. Why was that? Were United given those crowds, or did they create them.

Ergo, this is money through the turnstile. Organically. That's how football has always been, big cities create big clubs with big crowds.

Not sure why Real Madrid are mentioned, everyone knows they are bankrolled by Spain, basically. Or should do, if they knew anything about anything.

What do you want mate, the same as NFL and drafts where the **** teams get first pick of the best players, is that what you're after?
 
Feel really skinny although the scales say differently. Without gym I find I look for the pleasure from sugars.

Been a bit off it diet-wise the last couple of weeks although strength has been good. Ham and cheese Omelette with a side of chicken down the cafe today. Got a lads lads lads weekend in Portugal in seven weeks so will knock a few kilos off for the pool.
 
The great escape continues today in this ****test of semi-derbies.

Highly doubt it mate. I'd be happy with a goal tbh.

Even semi-derby is pushing it really. Not arsed about them in the slightest and actually like seeing them do well. They do tend to get overexcited though bless 'em and sure they'll bring plenty of knobbers along so could get interesting with the new ground layout.

Play up Bompey, Bompey play up.


Pompey away next week actually. The local away day for the Sussex QPR supporters’ club.

Didn't come up until 93/94 under Brian Little with a team full of centre halves -

I'm not complaining about clubs being able to maximise their chances of success by spending - as I've said repeatedly - that's always happened - as the trophy lists attest ...it's why fans outside the Big 6 love to see the applecart upset from time to time ...

... and all I want is for ALL spending restraints to be removed for PL clubs - only realistic way to make it a more 'level' and competitive playing field- and that because no way would the bigger clubs agree to something like a transfer cap per window for us all ... <ok>
