I get that but surely not to the extent of the big increase in the last couple of years ?

Haha - a tad too much emphasis on pissed off there my friend. But thanks for the advice.

WTF I agreed with this: "our commercial income is always the biggest source of ammo for people to fire at us, id love too see a full breakdown of who sponsors us (outside of the main ones like etihad/puma/nexen/ etc ) and for how much" As the poster said, our commerical income is the biggest...

Very much this.

Understandable as well. Stefan (@projectriver on here) made a comment in his instant reaction to our accounts on the excellent The City Spaces last week. This is not to challenge the legitimacy of the accounts/auditors but we simply don't know the source of the big increase in commercial...

The Wolves EFL Game game was an exception but not the rule. Normally midweek EFL games suffer - in 18/19 Fulham 35000 and Burton in the semi 30,000. Early round FA Cup different - often not on TV, weekend afternoon, large away support and cheap tickets marketed for the family. I love them...

This and also not fussed about CBs Also think it would be the front 6 Pep would pick because they are his best 6.

As is the strong City connection with young players who support us: Haaland 22 Gomez 22 Reyna 19 Foden 22 Lewis 17 Palmer 20

Sportswashing is oh so 2021 now. He's moved on :) The twin forces driving the game now " On one side, Gulf states buying clubs and influence in the game for hard political purposes and soft power. The phrase sportswashing is now not fit for purpose because it is too soft a phrase. Then on the...

It's not a small point IMO. We are now lumped in with Newcastle and PSG in the "state owned" stakes. But as far as Amesty and HRW are concerned, shirt sponsorship is still "sportswashing" but rarely mentioned as such anymore in the UK mainstream media because the focus is on the 3 klopp clubs...

Same for me - highlight of the 1st half. And a complete contrast with Palmer/Mahrez where there was zero connection.

Net spend isn't utterly meaningless. It is an indicator and one that Swiss Ramble has used more frequently in his posts because it is the language understood more widely by football fans. Like you, he also explains (and always has) that it is more nuanced - wages + amortisation, transfer profits...

Most important games are PL and CL k/o ties. We've played 35 of them in 2023. Jack has started just 13 of them. Think about that. Just 13 starts out of the 35 most important games. Even the "want away" Sterling started 16 of those games despite the fall-out and he hasn't been here for 11 of...

"Sub-human scum" This is how Liew described us - the posters on here - back in early 2020 . IMO this is the Number 1 all-time classic of the genre and well worth a full read without any click-bait benefit at the open source archive link: https://archive.ph/cfQUf Below is an extract to...

" Scousers are offended by everything and ashamed of nothing. This stunt they pulled after Joe was bottled was a riff off the old 'I'm Spartacus' 'No I'm Spartacus' gag they used to pull in Liverpool's pubs when the police/DSS/criminal enforcers came looking for someone. In fact, it was such a...

You are including the start of 21/22 where Grealish played loads. Sterling got something like 4 starts from the 1st 15 PL&CL group games. Sterling then was back in favour from late 2021 and was ahead of Grealish in the rotation. This calendar year Grealish has started just 13 times from 29...

Volume looks great. 2nd behind KDB for Key Passes p90 in the PL as well >4 90s. BUT the eye test suggests he is not creating lots of bigger xG shots. The data from the same site backs this up. Try it yourself for all PL players on the "passing" tab filtered for xGA. He's 15th overall, a...

The deadliest striker in PL history is Aguero. He finished with a strike rate of a goal every 108 minute and is miles ahead of the likes of Henry, Shearer and current heavy goalscorers Kane and Salah. Haaland's 17 league goals have come from 925 minutes and a strike rate of a goal every 54...

Stefan knows :)

Let's be clear on one thing - Sheikh Mansour is NOT our owner. How do we know this? Because Delooney said so and probably on the back of conversations/recent tweets from McGeehan. "Log-rolling" in action, (Thks Longsight for that expression). Miguel continued to decline the...
