That’s a hefty chunk of turnover/profit to spend on becoming a clubs sponsor, something very iffy here, wonder if they are the clubs official legal advisor/partner 

clearly something questionable but certainly a better route than using a faceless Far Eastern betting company to put owner funding into the club.

I think that’s correct 

You’d probably fancy whoever gets the Conference league spot to win it .

It occurred to me looking at the Premier League table that it’s a similar points distribution amongst the top six to that of 2015/16.

 

I remember that much was made of that at the time and the relative poor quality was given as a reason that we won the title. 
 

I wonder if a similar analysis will be made to explain Liverpool’s success this time around

Danny Kelly made the point on the radio recently that this is what the league would look like if relegation was taken away. I hope teams coming up can make a fist of it. You can't have crap teams from 13th to 17th being able to wing it from 10 games out.

You get the feeling Man U and Spurs have sacked off a few league games recently but still totally appalling seasons for them.

I mean have they been in the top half at all ?

Why are all the fixtures all over place this week?

Not sure, but saw a stat earlier that Man Utd haven't won two games in a row in the league this season. Only third time in their history that that's happened. 

 

Edit: Spurs were 10th just before Xmas. Haven't been in top half since.

Ah I presume this tweets means in the PL rather than overall .

Plenty of people on here have commented similar things about Liverpool not being great.

Intrigued to see how Sky manage to squeeze in these extra 80+ games with 9 (maybe 10?) teams in Europe next year

Imagine if they lose that UECL qualification play-off. Their European tour ended by a WiFi password before the kids are back at school.

What he doesn't mention is the months and months of results that went their way and the absurd luck they had.

And the absurd luck they had to come up in the first place and the absurd luck they had in their first season up.

Doesn't affect them.  TNT have the rights to all the European games.

And the absurd luck they had in the second season where their deadliest rival in a relegation dogfight was Luton Town.

Great list but why they decided that the year they'd put in would be the one the club was established, I don't know
