    In 2014, the annual Deloitte Football Money League had eight Premier League clubs in the top 30 richest in the world. When the new deal kicks in, all 20 of England’s top-division clubs will be among that list. Bournemouth could feasibly be in, and Internazionale out. The last data had Burnley as bigger economically than Ajax, four-times winners of the European Cup and next season the team that finishes bottom of the Premier League – hypothetically, let’s say Brighton and Hove Albion – will receive £99.5m in television revenue. Bayern Munich, to put into context, took in £90.1m from broadcasting revenue, according to Deloitte’s 2015 list, and Paris Saint‑Germain £69.7m.
    Blimey.

    I never realised Everton were in the bottom half. They've got all that world class talent as well. Their manager must be shit or something.

    I fear it could get quite 5-0y, this.

    Atletico are top at the moment (though Barcelona have the game in hand) with 25 goals in 18. So shite.

    It was great when they were the gatecrashers, now they're just boring.

    They are contributing to a title race (for now) though, so can't complain too much.

    There are two ways of doing shite football, one is performing an honest trench job with vastly inferior players, which is heroic. The other is being a pikey twat, which is Simeone.

    I was just looking up Aymen Abdennour to find out how on earth the lumbering shitehawk I know from African Nations past has made his way to Valencia, only to find a report from 29 August stating that Chelsea made an 11th hour bid to lure him to Stamford Bridge instead. Well, one man's loss is Papy Djilobodji's gain.

    "Clear penalty". Hmm, I wouldn't have given that. Looks like one of those plant-the-leg scoundrel dives.

    "Two of the finest free kick takers in the world". Does he get paid to say that? Ronaldo scores like one in 700.

    He needs to be out he's knackered. He'll miss two games at Spurs which you'd expect us to lose anyway. I was strangely pleased when I heard.

    If he misses a further game it's Villa. They could pick me and we'd win that one.

    How the hell did you sleep till 1pm? How many hours sleep have you had? Over the recommended 7-8 hrs?

    Guillem Haringey was saying at half time that the Valencian press have been pumping shite at the referee all week warning him not to favour Real Madrid, so it's definitely cowardice. The First Rule is never broken.

    I think so. Studs up.

    Ah, I tend to go out of the room at half time, Jim.

    Slept from perhaps 1 or 2 till 4 on the train, arrived at 4:30, then slept from perhaps 5 till 12:30 or so at home. But I was behind on sleep from the previous night so I've caught up more or less.

    Are handballs no longer an automatic yellow card in Spain? Was that even a thing or am I imagining it?

    Terry Gibson's getting a bit Andy Gray here. Just needs a roar of "Absolutely top draw!"

    Great game.

    I laughed in the pre match sequence when it showed Phil Neville saying he could read a newspaper and take training fully in Spanish, before cutting to Gary saying he can't do half time team talks, which just about sums up their careers.

    Wow, Valencia really blew that chance at the end. Glad I caught the last 20 minutes of that.

    So about the Neville stuff: http://www.theguardian.com/football/...lencia-manager

    On Sunday in an interview with Sky Sports, he said: “I’m not going to say where I want to end up, and it isn’t in management or head coaching, so I want to be clear about that.”

    But last night he said for the first time he intends to carry on at Mestalla, if given the opportunity. “I was talking about 15 or 20 years’ time! I don’t want to be just a coach for six months. I hope I am here beyond six months but I have to prove myself.”

    I dunno. David Moyes had balls for taking on Real Sociedad. Unlike him, if Neville fails over there (he will) then he has myriad other things to walk back into with his credibility still maxed out.

    How did Neville appear to be a clueless twat? He was one of the most naturally untalented footballers at the club, yet he was made captain and was probably the best right back of the modern era.

    Wonder what the other sponsors are thinking and how much noise from them all it'd take to have him sacked.
