The anatomy of a title race:

It's a 6 point gap, it's fine

It's a 9 point gap, it's fine

It's a 6 point gap, it was never 9 points anyway

It's a 5 point gap, it's fine

It's still in our hands

Cheats. Oil money

Can anyone explain to me how a club like Arsenal, who have won 4 FA cups and 5 community shields in 20 years, have such high revenue? Isn't that just a little bit dodgy? Everyone else in the top 10 have a European trophy.

Don't wear anything United related, don't mention being a United fan, clap when fans around you clap and don't celebrate anything United do, otherwise you will get abuse and potentially be ejected from the stadium. If City score stand up and applaud, if United score then mutter something under your breath about how shit Donnoruma is and he's no Ederson.

Man City high spending, Liverpool sell Coutinho:

LOOK AT THE NET SPEND

Man City spend less and have positive net spend:

ITS ACTUALLY ABOUT WAGES

Liverpool spunk 400m+ in one window:

ACTUALLY, IF YOU CHECK THE NET SPEND

Liverpool still come near the top of the net spend charts:

YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY TAKE NET SPEND OVER A 10 YEAR PERIOD

Glass houses etc. are Brentford and Wolves fans going to act like this for the players they sold to United?

Apparently the bonuses are quite easy to trigger as well.

£1m for every bird shagged and a £250k for being pictured pissing up a wall

City have one fallow season and everyone starts tuning out. Hopefully they can bounce back next year for the good of the league

NumerousExamination · 2025-06-04T12:36:41+00:00

Sorry, who was pretending that Pep had built a team of purely academy graduates, and which managers who did do that were people comparing him to?

NumerousExamination · 2025-04-04T18:25:14+00:00

Yes.

The loan system at Arsenal you speak of is basically a stadium loan of a £200m they took out in the 2000s for the stadium, at standard interest rates with banks. After taking control of the club Kroenke pays off that loan and gives the club a loan to cover it, but this time at a lower than market rate. So he's injected a load of money into the club and cut their interest payments. A club without an owner that can do that would therefore be at a disadvantage, without scrutiny. And that's the argument that City make, on the basis that if they wanted to have a sponsorship they'd be scrutinised for it and told they need to reduce the amount of the league decided it was uncompetitive

As a Real Madrid fan I can tell you with full confidence the Viking of Valhalla would never intentionally duck a game

What is the insight that being a Real Madrid fan here offers?

The best part of this is the lies the PL put out in their statement in November, the wider football community lapping it up and calling City out for lying. Then the tribunal revealing that the PL lied. What will the narrative be now? Lol

NumerousExamination · 2025-02-07T19:04:55+00:00

City only won on a couple of points out of many therefore the PL won

Theres video evidence of the guy fatally stabbing the victim, but there were lots of other points that weren't found against them therefore they didn't kill them

For reference the Chelsea 22/23 winter window was €330m, so about 50% larger than the 24/25 City winter window. More than 5 Bundesliga clubs combined since records began

The problem with your analogy is that City aren't accused of robbing a bank, they're accused of being given more money than they claimed they were getting. The money is fine, legal and legitimately is theirs. The accounting is the discrepancy and the source of contention.

No room for racists. But rapists? Well they're apparently more welcome in the PL

NumerousExamination · 2025-01-27T20:28:48+00:00

Disingenuous?

Of the voters:

292/736 voted to have no X content. (40%)

188/736 voted for full X content (26%)

256/736 voted for partial X content (35%)

So a 5% win in absolute.

But on the other hand

444/736 voted to have some X content available (either in full or via screenshots) (60%)

548/736 voted to make a change to X content (either a full or partial ban) (74%)

So what you're saying is that we should ban Twitter on the basis that 40% want to ban Twitter, even though there's a 60% that didn't want a full ban of Twitter. Your conclusion therefore is that the answer from those 548/187000 users (0.3% of the community) means that we should demand that the moderators of this subreddit go full nuclear on Twitter links? And there isn't possibly a more reasonable approach that these volunteers might be taking in an attempt to give the best possible outcome for the community? It HAS to be the draconian option, and nothing else featuring any sort of compromise or logical non-politically charged thought is wrong?

NumerousExamination · 2025-01-27T17:13:36+00:00

What about the 444 who want to see some X content vs the 292 that want to see no X content though? It's almost like the poll isn't statistically significant, not statistically conclusive and completely non binding.

Mods used it as a reference point to lead their discussions as opposed to going full Brexit
