The Christian way of throwing shade?

Thanks. Doubt they’ve been told anything. Suspect it is playing on their mind regardless.

The below was mostly without Ø, Timber at RB, Calafiori at LB. The 3 keys to our creativity. All 3 come back in and Arsenal go wallop the most in-form team in Europe 5-1 away from home. It’s good Liverpool got a big headstart. It will make the league more interesting. Credit @markstats.club

@scott.cannonstats.com I think I’ve seen you post transfer fee analysis in the past that factors in inflation. If so, you use CIES as a source for rate of inflation in fees (see below) or something else? football-observatory.com/Inflation-in...

Ok. I’ll put you out of your misery. Here. Now… what context is missing exactly?

I second this. Those are great feeds. Only downside is most of these feeds are not run by Bsky. They are run by independent servers that can’t handle the load and now go down a lot. This one was brill… until it crashed.

See… This is why I mostly engage on Bluesky now. Mind you, I’ll be engaging a plenty on Twitter once the verdict’s in 😏

Pep has been clear, publicly. City were adamant with him that they’re innocent. Relegation would require findings of fact that show them to have lied. The contract would almost certainly be voidable. Why do you think they barely made any signings in the summer? Credit: @kimmoFC for the vid

Posted a controversial, convoluted mega thread and the feedback is all so kind! All of it. This feels weird. Really nice. But weird.

Not sure. Not examined it sufficiently yet. This was in Martyn Ziegler’s article. Might mean something.

Who are all US-owned. In fact, half of all PL clubs are US-owned. And in turn, US Govt will exert pressure on UKG. UAE’s influence will be infinitesimal in comparison.

A lot of talk about OM being relegated to Ligue 2 after financial trouble. This was brewing. Found this fantastic analysis by christoph_21 on X. Ligue 1 is in very deep 💩. Needs a complete reset. Ligue 1 2022/23 actual loss: €260m Loss if latest TV deal offer applied then: €573m 🤯

The fantastic @lu_class_ on twitter has kindly provided this historic analysis of commercial revenues for Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea. A few matters to note… trends of sponsorship revenues of these clubs reveal that you secure higher fees when: i) The deals are longer commitments…

…So what were those losses? The attached chart shows a drop of €48m in revenue year-on-year so that is a good benchmark. Given there was also a jump in broadcast revenues awarded between the 2 seasons, I think we can estimate the true impact in the €50-60m range. Arsenal would be able to do a…
