Can you imagine if he’d done this when we were still at Filbert Street? It’d just be some flowers from Morrisons forecourt and two blokes with laser pens on the double decker

Thought Patson played well personally

That was more of a penalty than Griezeman’s in 2017.

Their hearing is tomorrow, BTW.

The Killers of the Flower Snooze.

But they’re not any more?

@ross

4 relegations between them and they’re still Manure’s central defence partnering. Amazing.

Most dogs can't run themselves over.

I am reminded of a local craft beer they had in Cape Town when I lived there, called FOKOF.

Now we have a game on our hands.

Sorry, didn't realise you worked for Lidl

*****

Parked there last weekend to use the Phoenix, which the Phoenix said I could do when their car park is full. Didn't realise it was only for 90 minutes, so had overstayed for 17 minutes. Got back in the car at 10.30 at night, after Lidl had been closed for half an hour and the car park was completely empty. This morning got a £90 parking fine (reduced to £45 with immediate payment). Just loathe the mean-spiritedness of it.

The Lidl next the Phoenix in town. ****ing scum.

our rail network is absolutely unfit for purpose. It is SO BAD.

Kay Burley/Sky News. She just said “guess who’s going on tour again” then cut to OASIS PLAYING ROLL WITH IT and said nothing for 30 seconds, leading me to think they’d finally reconciled. Then she confirmed that it was the 30th anniversary of Definitely Maybe next year (which Roll With It isn’t on) and Liam Gallagher was taking it on tour. She sits on a throne of lies.

Not ****ing good enough

- Nothing about the corrupt TV deal of the Premier League - Nothing about the ways the club has been cheated in the last 10 years What's the point?

I did a massive post on this in the “sue Everton thread” The way the Premier League operates is profoundly corrupt and only in favour of the “big clubs”, plus Tottenham. We got promoted in 2014. In 2013 the Premier League had brought in an FFP rule called “Short Term Cost Control” (STCC) which essentially meant clubs were not allowed to spend more than a 7% increase on their squads from the previous season. Those are the constraints we were forced to sign up to by just joining the league. In practice this meant that when we won the league pretty much by accident after finishing 14th the previous season, despite being the actual reigning champions we were only allowed to spend 7% more on our squad than a 14th placed club. Every single club that finished 13 places below us could have spent more. And then when you look at how much money we actually earned that season - we didn’t even earn the most prize money - we were the 5th highest earners after Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd and Tottenham. 50% of the prize money is an equal share; every club gets the same amount. 25% is merit based, so the highest finishing club would get the most and the next club received £1.2m less and so on (now £2.05m per place). But the other 25% of the earnings is “facility fees” which equated to £850k per every game broadcast in the UK, which are selected throughout the season by the broadcasters. We only had 15 matches broadcast vs Arsenal’s 27, Tottenham’s 21, Man City’s 25 and Man Utd’s 26. Liverpool, Cheslea and Newcastle each had more games broadcast than us. Matches are selected based on popularity and what the broadcasters believe will earn them the most viewers. The summer after we won the league was indeed a shitshow, but we hardly had a fair and full amount of money to play with and what we did spend, wasn't spent well. So the Premier League has never, ever been about fairness. Ever. It’s a closed league for the “big clubs”, plus Tottenham and absolutely nobody else. Us winning the league was an unwelcome accident and the Premier League has made it pretty clear just how unwelcome it was. And that’s before you even get to the League’s failure to prosecute Man City for 15 years (Man City being allowed to appoint 66% of the CAS judges that decided in their favour based on “time barred” events that were only time barred because Man City absolutely refused to cooperate for 5 years; they should have been banned from Europe for 2 seasons - the 2 seasons we finished 5th should have been enough to qualify for the Champions League for 2 seasons in a row), or their failure to prosecute Everton for their years of over spending by more than 250% which kept them up at our expense last season. In short, yes the club made mistakes, and failed to capitalise on certain things, but at the same time we were absolutely *explicitly* cheated out of the future our title win should have brought us and we have very, very good cases for suing Everton and Man City when they’re found guilty of their consistent rule breaks. As a fan I'd ****ing love for a fan group like @Foxes_Trust to sue the Premier League for a corrupt system that cheats fans and consumers, and clubs like ours.
