The Laughing Thread, the gift that keeps on giving.

You can't sell the league's tv rights for 2 billion without the rags.

Whatever the price tag, you are right Peter.
But as we are merely customers of this industry and the company we support has spread its commercial wings globally, we don't have to worry about that.
Just have to be aware that it exists.

When the rags went down in the 70s. the quote on the BBC was that it was a tragedy for football.
My view was that it was fukkin hilarious.

Just watching MOTD for the first time since god knows when.

Gooners get a second goal only for it to be ruled offside but VAR pucks up a foul by the rags leading to a penno

Then rags missed a penno

Then Tranny given off side for an equaliser

Oh and how wasn't that a straight red for Fernández wasn't even given a yellow the cunt.


What a fucking wonderful day

Second on MOTD for all the wrong reasons

Reck it Ralph in complete denial, the Rag cunts deserve him as Ten Hags boss next season

It has started.
Kane and Rice on the Rags radar.
Should be amusing if Newcastle move for the same players as the Rags. Newcastle have a lot more to offer.
Waiting on the next incarnation of FFP.

Must admit to not knowing the current made up rules but the barcodes not being in europe gives them an edge albeit that would be countered by players not wanting to go there..
I could see Kane going up there for big money

Is there not a domestic FFP of sorts?

This FFP stuff needs throwing out of the window .

Like the 'new weighting system' so that Rags can't get in Europe.

FFP is applied only if you are City, not if you are a red club run by a dodgy American that brought 1.6 billion debt.
With those figures, in a normal society, they should worry more about not going into administration rather than bringing 10 top class players.

Even the Rags cannot afford to spunk another £1B on transfers, particularly as their revenues are declining, infrastructure needs major investment, those loans need servicing and of course the Glazers need their dividends.
Another longer term concern for them is their younger fan base. Get them early and you have them for life as the RC church would say. They are no longer first pick with kids.
All good news.

You are talking logic, mate, but I am certain no one will expose them.
I can recall an article in the mainstream media about how fucked their income is, but still they can overpay for any transfer without anyone asking a real question.

It has been exposed, just buried as they have more immediate problems, ( they think ).
They are now entering the last chance saloon with this new manager, if it doesn't work out then you will then see the fan base and media take aim at the owners with the gloves off.

The rags are actually fighting their own entitlement. Something that is so deeply entrenched it is not easy to see for them, never mind deal with.

It is going to be much fun watching. Not sure what the odds are, but their entitled players are tipping the odds heavily in favour of failure.

Many kids support who their dad's support. Sadly there is plenty of Rag dad's in Sri Lanka and Indonesia still.
Sadly we have to endure them for a long time.

Let's hope the new man keeps up the form of recent managers.
