Sky and BT have agreed to pay £5.1 BILLION for tv rights to show the EPL for three season as of 2016/2017 season.  That's absolutely mental!?!

 

Also, says it all that they premier league are only investing £57 million into grass roots football.  No wonder it's on the decline in England.

 

Sky got 5/7 packages.

Liverpool won't blow it from where they are. Although I do think City will narrow the gap down to around 6 points by season's end. Leicester, as RS says, will likely drop points before New Year and will lose the odd game over the course of the season that the other 2 won't....somewhere unexpected like Bournemouth or Burnley.

All over now. Staggering lead for Liverpool with more than half their games to play.

Did not expect that result, despite the sending off.  It would take a fuck up of monumental proportions for them to fail.  Shame.

Watched Spurs again tonight, they really look to be toiling. So many players just not on their game.  Do you think that levy will let Jose spend in the summer?

 

He has genuinely managed to make Ericson, Alli, son and sessegnon look like league 2 players in a matter of weeks. Can he turn it around?

The squad has gone stale, there just haven't been enough ins and outs the past few seasons.

Only saw a bit of the first half on TV. Spurs looked like they were cruising it early doors

Some finish by Lamela for their second goal

 

On a seperate matter see Everton have announced an annual loss of close to £112 million

Seriously, how do you survive like that

To lose over £2m a week would be almost impossible but for two reasons; gross incompetence or financial engineering.

 

The latter takes many forms including a long term asset control plan, money laundering, tax avoidance, tax evasion and the legitimisation of ill gotten gains (also a longer term plan). Abramovich at Chelsea was the latter. Milne at AFC was the first mentioned. Donald Trump has spent the last 20 years evading tax posting losses in every venture he's been involved in. It doesn't come out of his pocket, nor the select few he greases.

Hi Rocket

WTF 

 

Manchester United have made a substantial offer to Birmingham City for England youth international Jude Bellingham as the English Premier League club attempts to broaden Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's midfield options in the winter window.

 

According to a source at the Championship club, United's offer for Bellingham would guarantee £25million for a midfielder who has been a regular in their starting line-up since becoming Birmingham's younger ever first-team player in August at 16 years and 38 days. Bellingham's performances have attracted scouts from across Europe, with Arsenal also understood to hold a strong interest in securing his signature.

So in the "best league in the world"  Liverpool have 2 games in hand to go 19 points clear after just 23 games

I have no idea what this post is trying to say but I know where the poster is coming from.

 

The world includes many who are full of resentment. The success of others is unpalatable to them as it reinforces how spectacularly unsuccessful and sad their shit lives are. They miss the beauty of the overachievers and they deny facts in their desperation not to face their own personal truths. Tragic really.

That explains your constant bitterness towards Stewart Milne perfectly. Thanks for enlightening us all with your nuggets of expertise.

I'm not "bitter" towards Milne. I detest him for who he is and what he's done. The way he abused his contractors doesn't bother me. Nor how he used inducements to influence public sector workers. I don't even care that he doesn't care about his customers. That's life. But when his actions affected AFC plc, it affected me and that's unacceptable. The key is to understand what the truth was. Fools can't see truth.

As I've obviously completed misinterpreted your post, perhaps you might explain it?

 

Liverpool have done something no team in Europe has ever done, in the history of the game.

 

Eventually, the commentators and even their opposition's managers are describing them as the best team in the world, including the most successful manager in the league (although his success was in the past and came to an abrupt halt after he abused a pretty young Spanish physio, karma following its true and natural path as always).

 

What's your point?
