The cup holders to boot or should that be title holders;-)

Not seen any inplay shots but even then if a piccy of ours was taken in 85 mins we'd look bad.


Anyway scum!!!!!!! ;)

Is it true that burton put out a second string against the rags?

Sad day when no one gives a shit about a trophy

 

[better dead than red]

I didn’t.

Ha!!! Your bad (or good?) fortune gave me a wonderful laugh. Thanks, mate. :)

You would have a job putting circles around all those seats.

I'm sure we can all enjoy this:

So they definitely don't get any money for the league position prize pool but this tweet seems to suggest they won't be getting money from any performance related prize pool either.

It says market pool, not prize pool.

Money is:
(a) 'prize money' for winning/drawing/progressing - 12.7M euros for making the group to start with.
(b) market pool share, - split 40/30/20/10 between the top 4 - this is the market pool, a %age share of cash based on the relative TV deals

City get 20% of the market pool for finishing 3rd.

Ah yeah, completely skimmed over the market pool part of that tweet, one of those days. Hopefully they're knocked out in the last 16 (can't see them being knocked out in the group) so they won't reap much from it this season.

let's hope so.

Will still get 18.7M euros from the group, plus 1.5M euros a point, so 35M euros quite probably.

Market pool 3 seasons ago was 22M roughly for the 3rd place team.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Top 4 will be
City
Rags
Chelsea
Spuds

 

[Wigan_Citizen]

659 million fans (bollocks) and their shitty old outdated dump of a stadium in Trafford was half empty ha ha

 

[argyle]

So when do they actually play a half decent team this season?

 

[Big_Alan]

Apparently they made nine changes too. Although nothing has been mentioned about that.

 

[mosssideblue]

Top 4 will be
City
Rags
Chelsea
Spuds

Will be! that's quite a prediction after a handful of games where they have played no one of note.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Unbelievable that some parts of the media are bigging up their win over the might Burton reserve side.

Did any of the media show the price comparison between the two sides?

No, but I expect someone did a price comparison between City and Burton.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

659 million fans (bollocks) and their shitty old outdated dump of a stadium in Trafford was half empty ha ha

No, it's true, 10% of the worlds population apparantly. You wont get a burger at half time though.

 

[goater555]

I had the channel 5 highlights on in the background last night, I should have turned it off for their game as the commentator was knocking one out at every opportunity. I had to double check who they were playing. I know they only do it due to the gormless masses that follow them but try telling a trafford fan that. They buy into this fawning crap.

 

[Bodicoteblue]

Speaking of fawning crap - talksh*t's news bulletins today contained, for no apparent reason, a 'story' about peg's pride at their 'attacking football' and an account of how lingard thinks martial strikes fear into the hearts of defenders.
Two non-stories based on quotes from two raggies with no relevance to anything other than to keep up the media presence.

 

[Blue Mist]

And they did it because one of them has OCD, apparently. Must be really bad OCD if it makes someone need to put an apostrophe at the end of every word that ends in an "s" whether there should be one there or not. If I didn't know any better I would think it had nothing to do with OCD and was just that they are thick red twats'.

Edited for accuracy. (not)

 

[cookster]

On the Premier League Debate at the moment. Absolute bell-end of the highest order and an ugly c@nt to boot.
