What is it measuring - turnover? If so, City revenue is weird. As is Arsenal's.
Increase in subscribers to the teams' Reddit.

Subscribers for Wolves, Cardiff and Fulham all spiked after promotion while the numbers for The Sheikh Mansour Team are just weird in that, even after winning a huge spike in subscribers after winning the title, they only have around 800 more subscribers than ours (but then again, given how dead their Not606 board is, maybe it's not that surprising)

It certainly maps with the r/soccer circlejerk though, given how that's overrun with Man Utd and Saltypool fans - although the cool off in Chelsea subs is interesting
 
Funny how subreddit growth charts look uncannily like a mass migration of plastics to certain teams, isn't it?

1. I guess the reddit increases in the usual suspects could be banter
storms from supporters of other clubs.

2. There definitely appears to be a Mouser spike on the Poool stuff
(this year IS their year bravado etc - would be interesting to see the
charts for 2012-15 to confirm that :) ) .

The stats are for subscribers only, while lurkers usually don't subscribe (unlike Twitter, where plenty of the lurkers are subscribed to our Twitter feed so they can troll at a moment's notice - and then find themselves immortalised in the Goon Garbage thread when we win anyway)

It's interesting to see Southampton's growth, though, but again if we use Not606 as a rule of thumb their board is pretty active

They should never have paid Ozil all that money then they might be able to afford vinny on loan <laugh>

Mentioned similar to this on the Prem board. Wasn't even saying it as a wum (although I was smirking) but they've had an absolute mare with his contract. Long standing and good players will eventually want some form of parity with what he earns and realistically Arsenal won't be able to match it because it'd be unsustainable. Add in that he's currently out of favour under Emery, that's a lot of money literally being wasted. What's worse for them, is that he's likely to have zero admirers if Arsenal decided they wanted to sell in order to get him off the wage bill, there was little-to-no interest when his initial contract was running down, there'd be even less now, especially as no one would be daft enough to match or better the wages of someone who's been on the fringes of late.

Been quite a funny few days with our rivals actually. Arnautovic wants to join an unnamed Chinese club as it's obviously a step up from West Ham while Chelsea are getting the tapping up treatment from Bayern for one of their brightest prospects.
 
"We've got Marrrr-koooooo,
Marko Arnauto..............."


Marko Arnautovic's brother and agent says the player wants out....now.

"What do you mean the fat **** wants to **** off to China?"

KUMB'S gonna melt.

These two posts were nearly 24 hours apart on the Prem board:

Unnamed Chinese club, whoever it is, I’m sure he’d jump at the chance to join a bigger club.

****ing called it.

He actually wants out! <laugh>

Just call me Mystic DH from now on.
