I said 2 teams up on their numbers, not including the newer teams. I also said they'd fallen away from their starting numbers. See evidence below.

Who cares about starting numbers..?

Clearly me and not you.

Clearly. The league is in a different state now but the last two seasons have seen an uptick in attendances so saying they're objectively down is just silly.

I know it's a friendly but lol. Apparently Fernandes tried to rabona the keeper in a 1 on 1.

They should go on a US tour and see how they go against the Washington Generals.

Plot twist... they are the Washington Generals

Lopetegui was sacked as Spain manager "on tour" as part of the 2018 WC.

They've equalised with the mighty Hong Kong.

I told you last time and you didn't heed, so **** you.

Yes. I stopped watching football, more specifically the premier league because of how City have corrupted the game.

I shouldn't need to justify myself to you or anyone else because you're too insecure to see a post having a light hearted ribbing at one of your clubs, you jump all over Blues posts people make too.

But if you must know, as Cruyff14 will be able to attest to, I've had a miserable few weeks so thought that by watching my club in the UEL final, and watching the last day of the season it may not only distract from that bad time but also bring a little joy in what is a sad time.

Alas yesterday, I had to rush off halfway through a shift at work to a palliative care facility where not long after I sat and watched my dad pass away. So, sorry for taking a personal stance against Manchester City, and now loosening that so I can get a little joy in a dark time in my life. Sorry for taking the piss out of United, it's not like they don't deserve it or haven't provided the world with plenty of material.

I assume now that we're in the A League off season, I can post about news purporting to the A League that isn't positive...

Sure, are you open to discussion or are you just going to keep ignoring responses?

 

[RPCB]

Who knows how much money these two players were earning but the average A-League salary is apparently over $130,000 a season. Not sure why you’d risk a decent living like that.

There's a WU thread where Riku Danzaki is named as the alleged offender.

I'm sure he would have headed there if he was genuinely interested in what was going on.

130k is peanuts.

 

[Aussie in exile]

130k is peanuts.

Especially when even half decent players in Europe earn more than that a week.

 

[RPCB]

130k is peanuts.

$0 is even less, if they have their contracts ripped up. Football is their livelihood.

I understand mate but you were suggesting 130k is a lot of money to risk. It's really not. They'd just move off to some European league and get a gig somewhere.

Yeah, that’s fair. The footballers likely would just head overseas and find plenty of clubs to take them on.

Somewhat skewed by a larger than usual representation of youth team products playing and being given a chance this season. Total player payments up to nearly $5 million per senior squad (usually around 22-23 senior players).
