Far too many things done for show. I don't get why people do it though. I get photos before kick off when I'm at an away game but that's it. I'm there to watch not record. It's same as when I'm at a gig and people would rather stand with their phone in their hand. But social media plays a big part in this now like you say. Someone could be threatening to jump off a bridge and people would stand and record it. Edited 25 July 2019 by Fox92 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll happily grab a pic of the ground before kick off and grab a few pics during a gig; but the number who sit there intent on recording bits annoy me.

The Horse's Mouth Posted 25 July 2019 Share Posted 25 July 2019 I record bits at a gig when im pissed and singing along, just for something to look back on. I can't imagine ever doing that at the footie though, that DT lad from arsenalfantv does it and it's embarrassing, can't even imagine having a phone in front of me face for 90 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 25 July 2019 Share Posted 25 July 2019 Tottenham have signed a new shirt sponsor deal with AIA, worth £320m over eight years. The life insurance company has been on Spurs' shirts since 2013, but the new deal is a significant rise in revenue for the Champions League finalists. It matches the reported £40m-a-year deal Chelsea signed in 2015 with Yokohama tyres. Manchester United's seven-year deal with US car brand Chevrolet remains the biggest, worth about £50m per year. AIA will continue to appear on the front of the club's men's, women's and academy team's shirts until 2027. Spurs have recently opened their £1bn stadium, much of which was paid for with loans. Despite that cost, in April they announced a world-record profit of £113m after tax for the 2017-18 season. Earlier in July, Tottenham paid a record £53.8m for France midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, having not signed a player last season. Asked if Spurs felt pressure to compete with their big-spending Premier League rivals, chairman Daniel Levy said: "If I'm honest, we don't feel the pressure. Our view is wherever we can, we will improve the team. "We have embarked in recent years on two very major capital projects, which I think in the long-term will be of great benefit to the club. We will continue wherever we can to improve the team." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they are pretty much skint or trying to keep costs down to a bar minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope he ain’t bogged down by Arsenal being Arsenal Well I kind of hope he is, so we can finish above them! He is a very talented player, but that is no guarantee he'll be a hit for them. I personally feel that Arsenal's spot in the top 6 is there for the taking not just this season but for the next 5-10 years. Their owner shows no interest in improving their club, it's clearly a revenue earner for him to spend money on his actual interests in the NFL. And as that club will generate a ton of money for a long time (10 year waiting list for a season ticket at the Emirates), that provides the perfect opportunity for a more ambitious club to surpass them, regardless of the difference in revenues generated.

Looks like panic stations as they lost so many players. Think they might regret it as it’s difficult to put together a team that functions from so many new players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusko187 Posted 25 July 2019 Share Posted 25 July 2019 Inexperienced manager with seemingly a bottomless bank to spend money on players... as good as they turned out towards the back end of the season, I fear this might come to bite them on the backside.

If I were a Villa fan, I'd be hoping the board haven't been splashing the cash for the sake of it. Dean Smith has got a job on his hands in trying to get the new signings to settle, let alone make them to perform consistently well.

In fact, i actually think fulham bought better players. Guess it all depends on whether they can get them playing as a team quickly enough Definitely more like Fulham than villa to me.

urban.spaceman Posted 25 July 2019 Share Posted 25 July 2019 Isn’t their budget £45m for this season? And they’ve spent 2 thirds on someone in a position they need desperately, only to send him back for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Posted 25 July 2019 Share Posted 25 July 2019 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49120077 Looks like we're signing Real Madrid CB Jesus Vallejo on loan for the season. I know nothing about him but apparently had a few injuries and has obviously been firmly behind Varane and Ramos. Won the U21 Championship with Spain this summer so he must be decent. Definitely getting someone in just in case, while we try and get Ruben Dias. Cutrone is supposedly all agreed now between the two clubs, just waiting for the player to say ok. He's still unsure about a move away from Italy. Edited 25 July 2019 by The Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
