Agreed. We all want a level playing field if possible. We've already been investigated three times on this issue. Twice by the EFL and after promotion by the PL.

The worst thing when pirates steal and mis-use the trust of their fans. we have banned gambling...but isn't that what these people are doing ..gambling ,and playing around with financial laws and regulations,at the cost of what emotions the fans put into the whole game!!!

Foxxed Posted 22 November 2018 Share Posted 22 November 2018 (edited) Whoscored have done some new pretty graphs. The first part isn't new to anyone. The chart at the end is interesting though. It says we're as likely to concede at any point in the match albeit slightly more in the first thirty minutes but it's only in the last thirty minutes when we're most likely to score. Interesting for our next match too. It says Brighton until 30 minutes are on a +1 goal difference (whereas we're on a dismal -3) then go into a -4 goal difference until 60 minutes (we're on 0 goal difference then) and slightly improve in the last 30 minutes to get to a -2 goal difference (at which point we're on +4). So according to that, they'll batter us in the first thirty and we'll flunk our chances, then they'll drop off massively in the next thirty just as we're recovering, and then they'll recover slightly just as we're most likely to score. Interesting to see if it pans out. https://www.theguardian.com/football/who-scored-blog/2018/nov/22/premier-league-analysing-when-teams-score-their-goals Edited 22 November 2018 by Foxxed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 24 November 2018 Share Posted 24 November 2018 Kante’s enhanced wages likely to do with him refusing to accept money through a tax avoidance company in Jersey. Just to add on the Wolves story, the tax avoidance admittance is very ****ing annoying as someone who pays all his taxes to support this country. However it’s difficult to overly criticise Wolves over it because I’m sure there’s plenty at it including our own club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebfromgrebland Posted 24 November 2018 Share Posted 24 November 2018 The problem with tax avoidance is that it means teachers have to buy their own teaching materials for their classes, there's not enough police to keep us safe, that ambulance for your dying mum might not ever arrive, that pot hole that's never fixed means you fall off your bike, Oadbys Christmas tree is cancelled etc etc. Either that or Tories are just bastards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a matter that's been long debated but those weekly wages.... The keeper on £192,000 per week. There must be fat adults all around the country who were shoved in goal at gym cursing the fact they didn't give it more of an effort! I agree though, Kante, Hazard and Azpil are huge players for Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
