there is a saying that the quickest way for a wealthy person to lose some of that wealth is to buy a football club. Not many football clubs make a profit. I reckon we would be worth max £250m now. (And that’s gone up recently due to performances of players like mads and fats) king power have basically written off way more than that over the period they’ve owned us. you can’t really put a value on the uplift of their brand over the period but I wouldn’t say that just investing cash into shares in a premier league football club is ever going to be retrieved unless you get lucky (or you employ very good people who get lucky).

He has a problem atm with textor who clearly doesn’t want to be there any longer. I wonder if parish has sole discretion over decisions like that. Of course textor hardly wants to see his investment shrink with a relegation but you wonder how much the owners are all on the same page.

Imagine us doing that after our debacle home to spurs a few seasons ago …… a bit tone deaf

You might want to put the link in 😄

Same as having a cup or euro game in the week Four days with a home game and then an away game where they don’t have to travel seems reasonable to me

Feel a bit dirty not wanting palace to win this evening …..

maybe they know something we don’t 😂 Definitely take him

Financially, maguire is clear and unlikely to be beaten. this kid seems to have it all - I would expect him to fit Man City, arsenal or Chelsea best and given the existing situation, I can see Chelsea making a move at the end of the season. (Unless ederson heads off ).

The increase in ocean temps in the n Atlantic and n Pacific over the past forty years is likely more driven by geo thermal than any other contributor. The issue for the planet is that the oceans are its natural air conditioning (over a long period which is also relevant ). if we’ve been unlucky enough to get our massive co2 contribution occurring at the same time as a notable spell of ocean based geo thermal input then we’ve lost what might have mitigated some of the mess we’ve heavily contributed to. the red herrings are only going to get bigger if trump makes it in two weeks

Been reading some stuff recently ref geo thermal input into rising sea temps its feasible that this is a sig contributor. now the deniers will point to that as meaning we aren’t responsible for rising air temps (they are obvs connected). Have we ever been accused of being fully responsible? However, we can’t do anything about the geo thermal stuff and it may well be that bringing our contribution way down won’t stop the rot but we have to try because where we’re headed isn’t survivable for the global population as it currently exists. we don’t have the option to sit on our hands and hope for the best.

This is it imo He’s young and everyone tells you that young players are more prone to inconsistency We saw enzo leave him out on occasions last season. We saw him come into a game and have a big impact and then the following match he’d start and sometimes be quite meh so the challenge for him is to hold his form and make sure he keeps his place on n e he’s knocked the door down (as he’s now done) the challenge is for cooper to work out how to play both wide men within his pragmatic systems

And Norris has possibly screwed himself on track limits aswell He looked very inexperienced in that battle with max

Lando needs more than just finishing ahead of max needs to pass him and make sure max goes off the circuit at the same time! can’t work out why Norris is trying to pass him everywhere - just wait for the main straight and get right on his tail as they go 8nto it

They don’t need him this season. They could use him but they obvs feel he’ll get more game time with us and develop then they get the choice of selling for a fortune or using him next season

Yes - I’m confused it’s being questioned much silva is onside when he’s competing with the keeper once it’s headed, he’s offside but he’s not in his line of vision and not close to any contact

Non story then - expected it would be Twitter nonsense

I think you have to hear it for yourself rather than take a description I’ll wait to comment until I hear it

It’s subjective Some officials will give it, some won’t. If the ref sees an incident and judges it to not be a foul then the var can only intervene if the refs view of the incident is plainly wrong - basically if it’s a howler. My view of that shirt pull was that the striker never seemed to attempt to run any faster and ayew simply seemed to be running along whilst holding his shirt. If Taylor had given it then fair enough but he didn’t and therefore it’s referee’s call. watch leeds’ second goal on Friday night and you’ll see the striker holding the defenders shirt to keep them at arms length. Shirt holding and pulling in one on one tussles has become part of the game. If we go down that road we need to make sure that it’s for absolute cast iron decisions where the party sinned against had no input themselves and where the pull has definitively had a consequence.

Reason that var didn’t intervene with their claim was that Taylor said he saw the incident and he didn’t think it was consequential. It’s not clear that it was so it’s not a clear error Taylor obvs didn’t see the vardy pull so it was easier for var to intervene (and it was clearly consequential)

Yep - probs at Chelsea next season

Interesting game now we’d expect Man City to win this from the same position

He’s got thirty yards before he reaches the box he would get to the ball around thirty yards out I can see what you’re saying but he doesn’t have the ball at his feet so he’s able to sprint onto it given that the ref didn’t send him off you could definitely argue it wasn’t a clear DOGSO and therefore shoutdnt be a VAR overturn.

I reckon he easily gets to the ball before the keeper and white and then he has a shot on goal available to him so it’s a red, even though the offence is in the centre circle

Playing Abdul as a marauding right back isn’t how anyone would start a game so he has to play on the right and facundo needs to be further inside

At this time, you wouldn’t back him to adjust to the pace of the PL and we don’t really have the time to indulge him ……
