also the flat structure removes a disincentive for the following plan: newly promoted team invests 0 money, sells the players that got them promoted, goes back down after collecting 6 points on the season. fans are furious, chairman doesn't care cos he's got same payout as man utd got plus upcoming parachute payments in his back pocket. reckon there's plenty of ashley/oyston types out there who would be well up for this
I'm not arguing for a flat structure really. I am just saying that we shouldn't be looking to weaken the parity that already exists even if it sounds reasonable.

am 100% in agreement that parity (relative to euroleagues at least) has maaasive value to the PL btw

You utter penis. You have to score that chance there.

Completely bottled it and allowed the defenders to catch up. Just shoot, bravo is useless in the sticks.

10-24-2017 , 05:23 PM

They've been pretty piss poor in the final third this evening - or at least form waht i've seen since i found a decent river after the united game.

Wolves should really have fired off a couple of those chances they got, this dilly dallying on the ball and allowing players to get back is so tilting at any level.

Now showing their [citys] best chances. All seem from miles out.

Quality pen from Aguero to win it.

What a tool running onto the pitch, enjoy your ban mate. Aguero was just laughing at him not even caring.
10-24-2017 , 06:00 PM
4 subs, how did I miss this? Great idea.
10-24-2017 , 06:31 PM
Week day matches are bad . Difficult to stream at work

Seeing that sterling and aguero played 120 mins is rage inducing. Bernardo has been meh so far.

Jesus playing 82 is lol. At least he’s 20 but someone like him city can not afford to lose. It’s the stupid matches like this where depths so important

Let us ALEXIS plz

Hugely depends on what he's playing. If he's just playing League of Legends, Hearthstone etc you don't need that much, if he's wanting to play GTA5 or whatever the cool game is right now on max settings it's a bit more expensive.

Would go to http://www.logicalincrements.com/ - take a budget, select parts within any given tier (they select so that everything's compatible), find a store/online supplier that'll build it for you if you don't want to do it yourself. While it's basically Lego nowadays, if you're not comfortable it'd be better spending £30 (what I paid for mine to be assembled/tested, better if you know a mate who's tech savvy and will do it for a few beers) than bricking a couple of hundred quid's worth of equipment.

KW's site I've seen a few times and also seems fine to use

QPR - rut roh

Under/over 0.5% of fine they end up actually paying in the next decade?

Or 200million for Eddie
10-25-2017 , 04:54 AM
I doubt anyone who's in for Walcott can afford his wages so I would be surprised if you get much in the bank account for him.

14m to West Ham/Everton/Southampton seems about right

England have had so much underage success in the last few years. When will it translate to the senior team.
10-25-2017 , 08:06 AM
"when coaches like us start giving the young lads more opportunities"
roughly Wenger's words yesterday
