Yeah I've thrown in enough to make 75m on an edit there and I've estimated everything at the highest end possible, even with yours it's still going to be a struggle to make up £80m.

Anyone would think they were making it up.

So the question would be, 'why' did someone at Sky, make up that figure & hand it to the presenters.

My guess would be, one of the staff, doing what they have been doing for the last 20 years & getting their figures wrong, in an effort to be mister, or ms smarty pants.

Bingo. Knew I'd forgotten someone. That might make it £86m then, but why is what we spent in the 80s, 90s and 00s relevant now?

According to Wiki (yes, I know) it was £4m.

Highlights so you don’t have to click include...

City’s smug travelling support provoked their hosts by cheering whenever the home team got across the halfway line.

Guardiola had called for more protection for his players from match officials and he got it from this one. Marriner tended to give City the benefit of the doubt on virtually every 50-50 decision even though their dominance of the game meant they rarely needed it.

brilliant as they can be, it is getting to the point where far too many games they are involved in follow the same repetitive pattern. It is in danger of becoming a little dull.

To be fair to Pep, when he talks about protection for the players he is 100% correct. Gundy was clattered last night in a challenge that should have seen a straight red for a deliberate attempt to kick the player out of the game, yet didn't even get a yellow. The same Newcastle player had another go at kicking Gundy out of the game later on which also didn't didn't command a card.

Considering that one of our skillful and creative midfielder's spent most of last season sidelined through injury, then Pep is right; our players, as all players need protection from thuggish challenges that are dished out for the sole purpose of kicking creative players out of the game. Any manager that sees this as a valid tactic should be called out and punished.

Perhaps 7 was what we have to pay if we want him back.

I just have a memory of the figure 7. But perhaps it's just another side effect from when I was abducted by aliens.

We paid 4, they paid us 7, we have to pay 11 to get him back.
