Don't joke. Many moons ago as an impoverished student towards term end I was once reduced to buying a tin of Tesco Irish stew which was slightly cheaper than the same size tin of Pal dog food. It was fucking awful and left me wishing I'd pushed the boat out and bought a tin of Pal.

Tesco Irish Stew? Posh bugger, some of us proper skint students had to survive on 7p tins of Kwik Save No Frills Baked Beans. My god they were fucking shite! Mind you, it meant you were warm in bed! :-)
 
Re the excellent Howard Hockin article. I worked for many years with the atypical armchair red plastic. often away for months at a time on assignment I only saw him at work every 9 months or so. For a good while his screen save was that Utd trophy presentation shot - the one with David May on the ladder. He took every opportunity to land the digs and blows. One day after City’s rise and the red demise I was in the office alongside him and noticed that his screensaver had changed to a shot the England Rugby team who were in their pomp. When I challenged him he said that he was never really interested in football and rugby was his sport of choice. i began to rib him with some effort and for several months every time a British team did well I sent him an image along with a suggestion that he change his screenshot and allegiance. The images included the English Ladies hockey team, curling rowing and bowling teams. He didn’t seem to get the humour and eventually left our workplace. I like to think that I contributed to him leaving. Plastic reds are just that.. flimsy. Enjoy current times - turn the heat on them and they wither away. Never be worried that the wheel will turn. We have years of conditioning, can take the barbs and will stand by our team.

This post deserves more attention. It gets to the heart of the finances. Tried doing something similar and included agent fees. Really difficult to work out. Well done.
There must be a full analysis somewhere which reflects all this?
Would love to see a full spread sheet that could be updated...

I do have lots on a spreadsheet and am waiting for the 2020 accounts before making it more presentable.

 
Jamie carragher on Monday night football has claimed that even with the most wins in a row we canT be a great team without winning European cup.
Funny that....he won it and I would never describe him as a great player

even funnier that in the last thirty years his beloved dippers have won the champions’ league twice, yet only been champions once.

I’d say no other so called Self proclaimed big club has only won one league in the last 30

Yeah but they'd have done much better if the crowd had been in.
 
Levenshulme Blue on Football 365, please take a bow sir.
I would recommend reading his piece under “Why are journo’s an easy target”
Fanstastic pop back at United/Chelsea/Liverpool

Have to disagree with him on one part. Milton Keynes don't have any history, they tried to steal some but ended up having to give it back. They're not even a real club.

That's as ridiculous as saying we don't have history. They very definitely have a history, some would say an unenviable one, but they certainly have a history.
