Ok we were brilliant yesterday, our high crosses in the box all game were gleefully accepted by our new 6ft 4in striker, our ability to play the ball to them on 3 occasions in the first half.to put them clean through was just us being hospitableDon't ever be a match summariser, clueless all over the pitch? More chances created, more possession, more shots on and off target, they sucker punched us twice.
We are in a position to crow, we're the champions, holders of all domestic cups and second in the league. This red pile of wank are 3 points off relegation, have a clown in charge and spent nearly a billion quid to be light years away from us.
This thread is to gleefully stick the boot into the red mardarses not to disect our performance.
Go and have a lie down.Ok we were brilliant yesterday, our high crosses in the box all game were gleefully accepted by our new 6ft 4in striker, our ability to play the ball to them on 3 occasions in the first half.to put them clean through was just us being hospitable
Perhaps they could have money barrels outside the ground - now where have I heard that before
It was in response to what somebody put, I am stating that yes they got beat and were poor but we were in no position to crow over it after our performance, I was at the city game yesterday were you?
There's a more serious (for them) element to their decline. In the recent investors call covering their accounts for the year to June 2019, Woodward said that not being in the CL this season would mean a loss of revenue for the current financial year. The estimated revenue for the 2020 financial year was in the range £560-580m. If they don't make the CL again next season they lose some commercial income. If they don't even make the EL that'll cost them even more, maybe taking them down to close to £500m for 2021.
The loss of that cash will hurt them badly & they will probably have to sell a couple of their better players to make up the shortfall. I doubt they will be short of candidates to desert the sinking ship if they aren't in Europe at all. The better players, if they get replaced at all, are replaced by cheaper players & the cycle of mediocrity continues.
We, on the other hand, should be reporting just over £560m for 2019, with the Puma deal plus the new PL TV deal kicking in for 2020. That's at least an extra £60m, giving us a revenue of £625m+ next year. That means we overtake them financially, by some distance. That's something I didn't think was ever going to be possible but it's going to happen in 12 months.

Fuck him, he decided like others to take the devil's coin.DdG post match interview was quite telling.
Lost for words, head shaking, looking everywhere, thinking about what he wants to say and then adjusting it as he can’t say his real fax.
Compare and contrast to OGS interviews (since the Chelsea 4-0 aberration), doing his best comical Ali impression every time.
Coupled with PB’s financial analysis...it almost makes up for the Liverpool penalty and our performance.
