All totally true. Oligarsky will foot the bill to a value X. And (Total - X) will be a value small enough to ensure that Chelsky do not have to resort to stadium name rights to get the final X quid.

1. It says Spurs have been the only challenger since March. <PL bottlers noted> 2. Given the gap was 4 pts with 4-5 games to go, the probability must have been a lot higher than 12.5% by definition.
BBC Sport 'Gossip' strike again, running a Manchester Evening News story of Utd 'thinking of recruiting' Paul Mitchell and conveniently overlooking the fact that Mitchell has been on gardening leave for 9 months!!!! Good to know there ****-poor reporting extends to our ex-staff as well as current players and coaches!! Strange this comes out 2 days before we play them - surely only coincidence!!
There's even more fail in the headline than that: they say Mitchell was the scout who discovered Dele Alli, but according to David Pleat we'd been scouting Alli since 2012 - but Mitchell didn't arrive at the club until late 2014. So either the MEN haven't done their research and just assumed that, as we hired Mitchell three months before signing Alli that the two are linked - or they're saying that Mitchell was secretly working for us for two years while employed by Southampton.
I'd say that the biggest fail of them all is that Dele rose to stardom and planted his name firmly on numerous large radars with a mesmerising performance in the EFL cup against a well-known PL side. Three guesses who that side was
I know I grouch on about the generally poor quality of modern journalism (notwithstanding any political bias), but the BBC continue to provide me with ammunition. Radio 4 Today have an interview with Roger Waters of Pink Floyd on the 50th anniversary of their first single, prefaced by this comment. 'they came to the fore in 1979 with the release of The Wall, a concept album tribute to the dismantling of the Berlin Wall' They must have had a ****ing time machine as THAT wall came down a decade later!! And a simple search online would show it had not the remotest link to that event or even the possibility! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wall
The BBC ran a story today talking about a referendum on leaving the Eurovision Song Contest, saying the vast majority want to leave This has nothing to do with how, several times this week, the BBC have trotted out the excuse that the British entry will get such a low score entirely because of Britait, and not because the song is ****e that nobody with ears could enjoy.
We should have a contest for the most inaccuracies in a single sentence. That one would be right up there. Unless you don't really accept that their previous 10 albums put them "to the fore" I guess, or the time travel thing previously mentioned, or the inconsequential matter of it not being about the Berlin Wall. Or other stuff. I do like Radio 4 though, particularly the comedy.
Dark side of the Moon definitely didn't bring them to the fore It's only one of the biggest selling albums ever. Only sold 45 million and became THE biggest seller until Thriller and (weirdly) Back in Black by ACDC were released.
AC/DC have sold over 200m albums. This country tends to ignore or sideline rock music, though. Def Leppard have sold over 100m albums and are seen as something of a joke, possibly understandably! Madonna's sold a lot, but she's had a lot of hit albums, rather than one or two massive ones.
Apparently, according to stories in one of the tabloids, Mourhino is going to put in a £110m bid for Walker, Rose and Dier. This is, obviously, on top of offers from various other clubs, that are going to come in for Lloris, Eriksen, Alli, Alderwiereld, and Kane. According to the hacks, we're going to be lucky if we can field a team of schoolboys, next season.
