Just seen a piece on SSN about proposals to replace the latest "financial controls" in the Premier League...I'm sure someone can describe it better than me, but it seems to be that clubs can only spend up to 85% of revenue on players, agents, transfer fees etc......but capped to 5 times what the lowest earning club received the previous season from broadcasting revenue.... Could be interesting to see if it is voted through ..read more

According to the daily fail [forgive me] beef, pork, poultry, garlic, onions, artificial sweeteners, and vegetables [so everything really] make your farts smelly. Personally mine are smelly but the dogs are ..read more

Another music voting thread! Several people have commented that the randomizer in @BlueHammer85 's Top 1100 album review thread isn't doing a great job of selecting albums. Some people have suggested that we'd be better selecting the albums ourselves. I would argue that the randomizer is doing a perfect job - it's completely random after all - but I understand the sentiment. However, it got me thinking: given that some of us spend a lot of time on the thread, wouldn't it be nice if... Read more ..read more

So I am on the morning train to Wimbledon for my customary Wednesday charity tennis tournament, when I see this rough looking fellow, with long greasy hair, dressed in a scruffy brown suit and an old, torn shag coat, pacing back and fourth in the aisle, spitting on every other passenger, and mumbling something about “VAR has made football better, I tell ye” under his breath. I was amazed at the restraint many passengers showed not to belt the geezer, with most of them just changing cars to... Read more ..read more

I got the train into London today and this scruffy feller gets on, no fashion sense at all and starts coughing and spluttering every 4 seconds. People were changing carriages rather than breathing in his dirty germs. Anyway, as it happens, he took his coat off and put it in the luggage rack amd then got off and left it up there. I had a quick look around and everyone else had got off. A quick look in the jacket and there is the wallet, nice wad of cash in there and a few credit cards, a... Read more ..read more

What are blues opinion on the amount of points at which it becomes pointless paying extra for a platinum season ticket. I've given up jumping through the hoops in an attempt to keep up with having enough (loyalty) points to get tickets for away games. I have 21,200. More and more are ending up in the hands of fans that have a lot less points than I have, whether that be via corporate, working, or knowing someone who works for City or being part of a group of supporters that use...
