    Cristiano Ronaldo

    Unfortunately it's one of the biggest misconceptions ever. What do you think addidas/Nike etc pay the kit deals for to clubs? Kit deals are not traditional sponsorship deals – they are licensing deals, which enable the kit manufacturers to use the club’s brand to sell branded apparel. Clubs...

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    Not surprised Man United have ended up in the driving seat for this. Good in footballing terms for United, will score a crap tonne of goals and provides yet further winning mentality to their team. Genius really.

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    Is he? Based on what? I'm assuming it's not the old 'shirt sales' argument?

    Agreed. If ever there was a game that had draw written over it then this is it to me. 1-1

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Apologies didn't see earlier post! I have to disagree on the breaking of the clause though, they have been fighting ISIS (K) since before the withdrawal and a number of battles have been noted between the ISIS and them. I believe they do have the capabilities I just don't believe they have...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The attacks were carried out by Isis, not by the Taliban. The Taliban have actually been fighting with ISIS also. And intelligence is suggesting they have actually stopped a number of other attacks. So using this as an excuse to renege would be a hard sell. However, there are many more...

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    You're right they would have to give us Curtis and a million for Shipley just to make the deal fairer.

    I agree except about klopp, he's probably one of the more sensible coaches in my book. He has his views which you can either agree with or not, but his fundamental beliefs about how football should be played and building a squad is rather refreshing. And compared to the rest of the top 6 their...

    To me I think it's Perez trying to placate the fans more than anything. I have a feeling it was a Win-win for him the bid. If they accept he gets a world-class player. They reject it, then at least the fans can see you have tried to spend substantial money and there is a reason he has let...

    Yeah they asked all of their 'captains' to take a paycut about a month ago, it was only because Pique agreed that they were able to register their signings for this summer.

    I'd be amazed if Ronaldo goes to Man city, would be very interesting if he does! I also don't see Mbappe going Madrid this summer simply because PSG are demanding so much for a player who can sign on a pre-contract in 4 months! Still think the financial impact can be seen everywhere except Man...

    Robins said as much weeks ago. Said he was training with the u23's to keep fit.

    I'm not going to repeat an argument with you, I was just warning SBH. Where have I spoken about him like he's George Best 🤣 I'll wait! Not like you to use hyperbole G 👍

    I had this argument with Grendel a few weeks ago he doesn't understand! I think 25% is over generous mind you. Given the rumours i'm at about 5% now!

    The walking dead starts again tonight

    Agree with most of this tbf season 4 and 5 were okay as well, it was 6&7 where it struggled and you are right it seemed to be Scott Gimple being the show runner that saw the drop in quality. Angela Kang (who has been producing on the show since day 1) seemed to go back to the routes of what...

    Anyone have inside info on when multiple home game packages will be released?

    To be fair it depends on if the system is even capable of doing that? If it's not then the cost involved in setting something like that up is potentially extortionate, speaking as someone who worked in HR and we just wanted basic functions for new systems the cost to adapt things was ridiculous...

    Derby

    Yes because Grendel said it was the same teams at the top before tycoon owners? Which even you have proved isn't true considering Derby, Forest and Leeds are no longer there who consistently finished above the teams you mentioned, during the period he used. So again, not really sure what you...

    Derby

    Where have I disagreed with that? Nowhere. Seems odd you are trying to argue with me about something I haven't disagreed with.

    Derby

    It depends on the definition of big clubs? I'm not sure the argument is a solid one for Man city at all. Chelsea maybe at a stretch but still debatable. I more took exception to the point that he said the same teams from that period are at the top now, which isn't really accurate is it?

    Derby

    Didn't Man City only finish in the top 6 three times in the 70's? Does having a a few good players during that time make you a huge team? They were about the equivalent of Everton in today's terms? Chelsea in the 60's were pretty good consistently. If you are going that far back however then...
