Colos Short and Curlies

There’s a good chance that we will be 4 behind Spurs before they play again with 2 absolute stinkers for them in a row. that would really put some pressure on them. If can see it only being one win that separates us at the end of the season

Let’s be honest here. If we challenge for the league or wear that top in a cup final it’s going to be looked back on as a great kit. if we finish 10th it’s going to be the worst kit ever

We need 2 money signings, a keeper and a centre forward. We might be able to get away from a freebie at the back and go with Schar/Burn/Newbie until Botman is back

So it’s Andy Cole’s record of scoring in 8 consecutive home games he’s aiming at, equalling Sir Les yesterday. but shearer scored in his first 15 home games, that’s just insane and probably will never be beat

We’re going to end up 2 points short aren’t we

nope. the ticket money will be in next years accounts regardless on when money is paid. in simple terms you recognise income when it is earned (or when the games are played) and not when the cash is received.

Most minutes of any outfield player from the prem (including internationals) this season

If they stay up (likely) then I see Wilson going to Bournemouth with Solanke leaving

Hopefully the game is won (or lost) comfortably with 10 mins to go so we can take Bruno off and avoid a late yellow.

If this is the season where we finally finish above ManU then the world will officially have gone nuts

Portsmouth 7-4 Reading is the one to beat. we’re actually joint second in the highest scoring game rankings, losing 7-3 to Arsenal. Spurs have 2 10 goal premier league games, both wins

You haven't got the FFP bit quite right. Lets ignore wages and make it easy with a £100m sale for a player with no book value left you create a one off profit of £100m. If you gave everyone a 5 year contract you could spend £500m and the in year cost would balance against the sale profit but this is for one year only, you've really got to use that as a catalyst for future income growth or you will be left in year 2 with a cumulative £100m loss problem which then goes to £200m in year 3, £300m in year 4 and 5 as the sale drops out. (All that assumes you start at nil profit or loss and breakeven before this spend each year) Spending anything over what you generate creates a risk so you need to spend it wisely

The terms of the Lua Lua loan.

they’ve got the Barnes and Maddison sales in this year and you’d hope some relegation clauses in there, but they did also spend £40ish in the summer as well. do they have anyone who will bring in decent coin this summer?

Put FFP to one side that statement basically means the auditors can not give any assurance that the club has the finance, or access to finance, that enables it to fund its obligations for 12 months. or in football speak there are no guarantees that they can fulfil their fixtures. the Premier League should be looking at that and deciding if that is a risk they are happy to carry
