European clubs only have an "advantage" in that list over last year because all the values quoted are being converted to euros. So Bayern, given that their revenue is in euros, will appear to be in a better position than last year simply because converting that figure to pounds yields a bigger number than it would have previously. Don't think it's anything more complicated than that.

Come again?

I dare say Gomez might just have mixed up the phrase on purpose. As for your wife though...

I'd do a favour for a friend if he was willing to fork out a minimum of £2.5M for the privilege.

Not that you made that distinction initially, but even taking that into account, not everybody's mortgage has gone down - half of mortgages are on fixed deals, and if they're coming off a fixed deal with bugger all equity in the house they'll probably find they could pay more than before. Also take into account that savings income has plummeted and share dividends have been slashed - anyone depending on income such as that will be having problems. And perhaps, just perhaps people are looking at the unemployment rates rising and thinking "s***, that could be me" and deciding to actually pay off debt instead of spending more.

Because they have less money? ("people" that is, rather than WAGs).

Insult to our intelligence that is. "We're feeling the pain too" - b******s you are.

I have no friggin idea what that stat is meant to represent.

Ahh, looks like different regions got it back at different times then. I definitely got the picture back just before the cross came in.

Not on purpose. They fecked up and started to go to an ad break when they clearly didn't mean to. Missed about 20secs of the game only to come back and find Everton pinging the ball into the box and fecking scoring.

Pienaar should be off. Very lucky not to get a yellow for the first bad challenge on Lucas. Fellaini has been utter, utter gash. Long may that continue.

I bet you somewhere, on a Liverpool forum far far away, he's spitting teeth that we didn't make a bid to sign Quaresma instead of Chelsea.

Nope. Look at the youtube link. He clearly raises the flag just after Bosingwa launches his attack.

FFS Why do people continue to believe what they want to believe, so they can have a fit about how s*** we are in the transfer market? The details are pretty much out there, it's not difficult. We bought Keane for £19M with £1.3M of add-ons (which clearly aren't going to kick in now). We sold him for £12M initially, with a guaranteed £4M on top of that, and a further £3M in add-ons (which we probably won't see). Most transfer deals are structured in such a way as you don't pay the full amount immediately, and I've never seen these transfers reported as "player X signs for £5M (oh and with a further £15M over the next 3 years)". I can only imagine the newspapers are quoting £12M because it's a better headline - "Liverpool lose £8.3M on Keane in six months!".

From another thread

Just my good old sarcy self. Yeah, it's been known that the deadline was extended for a good few hours. Plenty of messages earlier in the thread.

Thanks for that.
