Decent piece by Simon Bajkowski on attitudes towards Chelsea's spending

Chelsea signings blow up a vital argument from boring Man City spending critics

As recently as this season it was suggested by a rival that nobody could compete with Manchester City financially

Just goes to show these cockroaches know exactly what they've been doing and adds extra weight to the "Organised and clear" statement.
Are all the naysayers still of the opinion "it's all in our heads" and we all have a tin foil hat attitude to the medias constant negative bias with regard to everything we do?

Have we finished with all these americanisation (or is it americanization) phrases ?
Have we done the whole 9 yards ?

I agree. It’s too too much. We need to move forward on another topic. Gotta go to the store to get some eggplant and Wussterssshheshsheshire sauce.

Hate the creeping Americanisation of our language.

Not an Americanism I don't think but the word that is overused the most in the UK is:

Amazing

Everything now, not good, or very good, even average, its Amazing.

I mean the biblical coat of many colours was accredited to Lloyd Webber's eponymous character as:

"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat".

Fair enough, but that Scouse wanker Rimmer on Sunday Brunch makes a donut and calls it amazing, no, it's fucking not :-).

More than decent, and details pretty much every objection made by informed and sensible BM posters about media bias over the years. And Bajkowski’s not a Blue, which makes it even more on the money.

Love the bit about Boehly “who appears very much not to be a nation state” lol. This article should go viral, and probably won’t.

We're done, and you can take that to the bank.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

If I had a dime for every time I'd be wound up by stupid Americanisms... That's 4952 times and counting.

You do the math.

Omitting of course that fact that any deal has to be acceptable to the bean counters.
Last minute shit loan deals from skint europeans that were actually apparently never even made hardly count.
