That's my point, if the bids too high though then it's unlikely to be sustained long term. At least with a traditional auction then there's a sense of awareness about what the price is and business models can be set accordingly. We are potentially going to be stuck in this roundabout where an...

Where does the blind auction come from? Surely it would be better if they could see each others bids, it encourages providers to overpay and then likely not renew. Changing these things is a pain in the balls, especially if there's a phone account attached and hardware like Optus/ Fetch.

Pep should suck it up. It's not like City haven't playing some pretty awesome football without crowrds.

Stonewall pen.

Definitely well done Chelsea. Klopp said they put in a proper shift when they went down to 10 and he's right. Could see them winning this year and don't see us on the same level as I think we've been pretty well worked out and we just don't have the bench quality. On the pen though, it's tough...

i just realised they had it. fking annoying tbh.

Yes, to be fair, he has lifted his game when he's playing for the national team and when looking to get some of that PSG free transfer money.

Touchy. It's almost like you guys don't like people questioning how you've been able to spunk down huge amounts of money for overpriced mid table hacks like Poggles and Slab.

He also needs to think about peoples' feelings.

But you're all right about net spend - who gives a toss? After the Glazers have finished siphoning off all the money and loaded it up with unsustainable spending, leaving it a gigantic debt riddled corpse of a football club, they'll just flog it off it to some 'royal family' or oligarch with a...

You like overreacting. He didn't 'attack' anyone - he just said that Chelsea and PSG and City have bucketloads of money. He said he 'doesn't know' how Man Utd have done it. This has triggered you into one of the most epic melts in recent history. I don't see how anything he said wasn't factual.

To be fair, I thought the autocorrect took away the real sense of what I though you were feeling. One must be accurate with these things.

He can't save you. You probably just need to take the b*tt hurt and move on.

Who cares about semantics, as if you are going to talk about spending and debt isolated from previous years. He's using this year as an example and referring to the overall spending model. I don't give a rat's arse what united do, but you can't cherry pick this year and say that Liverpool and...

he didn't really specify exactly what market he's talking about - it's just the general vibe of the thing - Liverpool spend money they earn, Utd have been spending money they don't have. The oil clubs spend the free money. Don't think he was whinging, it's pretty factual.

Not including this year..... Totals over last five years Liverpool spend: £476.19m (£95.24m per season) Liverpool income: £365.40m (£73.08m per season) Liverpool net spend: £-110.73m (£-22.15m per season) Manchester United spend: £698.74m (£139.75m per season) Manchester United income...

What happens for Kane if not City? If City went for, say, Haaland instead - Kane is almost locked out of anywhere else by his own price.

I'm disgusted with these teams and really think that they deserve what they get. But.... anyone thinking that UEFA turns around and kicks the (nearly) 12 biggest teams out of European football is smoking crack.

It's great that you've called it. Those that responded in the exact way that you wanted and those that didn't.

A thread about a proposed super league getting derailed by some muppet with an axe to grind against liverpool. Who would have thunk it.

Would love this. Pro This is pretty much it. Think we all owe Bayern and PSG a favor. I wonder if Boris Johnson's strong position (populism) had something to with it as well - the British government not being part of the EU can likely do whatever the hell they want now.

people bagging Bayern have nfi, they were/ are class - that whole game was played at a higher level than the others.

They should use VAR to book more players for simulation - they stand out like dog balls on slo mo.

There really is nothing that you could ask for that's better than Mou railing against the injustice of it all and having a massive sook. Merry Christmas everyone.

With VAR you're going to win some and lose some - I'm not going to cry about us losing the points there because we've had the rub of the green a few times. The dangerous play is worthy of a serious melt though - Pickford was reckless and has caused what looks like a serious knee injury to one of...

As part of the learning process you should walk us through what can and can't be said. I'm finding it hard to see the distinction - whilst Fat Frank might hurt Frank Lampard's feeling so might Slippy be upsetting to Steven Gerrard.

It's a melting of bad behaviour, is what it is.

I think we've all learned a valuable lesson today old sport. What seemed to some as some kind of mildly amusing, albeit childish, name calling has been exposed for what it is: calculated fat shaming and vindictive dysphemism. Heretofore, I will no longer use potentially hurtful names, that...

I thought it was more a term of endearment like Fatty Vautin, Fat Sam etc.
