[JRockBlues]

Any reports of us disrespcting the competition by fielding a weakened team yet?

 

[levets]

7 minutes into the game, they showed it on screen.
Burton starting line up £1m
City £323m

surprised it took 7 minutes

£317m the graphic showed, followed by “317 times as much as Burtons squad”

“City are disrespectful motherfuckers”; headline in the Mail.

Not yet but some of our fans are moaning that it wasn't weak enough.

Must say I was concerned for Mendy. It was slippery out there. Steve G would have had a field day.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

I make it around 180m so I don't know how they've worked that one out.

Add the subs bench. Jesus, Mendy, Stones = about +125 to that. Very nearly 317 at that point.

Fancy City having a miles more expensive squad than Burton Albion.
You could hardly believe it could you?

Yeah, the figure was broadly right. Might be wrong, but don’t recall them doing the same (i.e. having an on-screen graphic) for other David-Goliath clashes though.

Oh fair enough, thought he was just talking about the starting line-up.

Pretty much the same as the cost of Pogba, lukaku added to Sanchez’s wages (when do Sly ever mention that?)

 

[warringtonblue]

The sport on north west late news started with Beckham buying into Salford, “and elsewhere, city qualified for Wembley”

States that Man City are 5th Richest based on revenue with Real, Barca, Rags and Bayern above us. It then proceeds to include a picture of the Dippers playing the Rags with a caption saying "Man Utd (blue) and Liverpool (red) were the top two placed English teams in the money league".

That’s brilliant, keep to the rules & start with Rags & give the bitter blues a mention as a side note.

Problem is the only relevance is “retired x Rag from good old days buys a stake in a shitty non league club owned by x Rags.

Meanwhile little old Citeh secure place in first final of 4 major trophy’s that they are competing in this season.

Noticed that as well. Trouble with the BBC is, hard to tell of it is intentional or just the continual slipping standards of reporting there.

They may have claimed they were, I have no idea. It wouldn't be the first time Sky were 'interesting' with details.

I am shocked.

How the fck they get to £317m. Sergio - £35m, Kevin - £55m, Danilo - £26m, Mahrez - £60m, Delph - £12m this comes to £188m the rest of the team were kids, just goes to show the thick twats cant add up as well.

Oh yes they can.
The ‘mistake’ is entirely intentional.

They added up our bench players they said squad amount

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Well anyone just having listened to Radio 4 will think Burton won 1- 0. Obvioulsly they'll also be aware we paid more for our players, a fact of great surprise.
