Since when has a league season had 26 away games?
Who said it was a season? It is just 26 random games spread over various seasons.
Nevertheless the return we achieved was very good

Payment terms of a transfer fee doesn't have any impact on the calculation of profit/loss for FFP.
Exactly.
Or a club could buy a whole team on instalments and go bust owing fortunes to other clubs. prevention of this is one of the prime objectives of FFP

Can’t believe the pessimism of some of our fans, automatic promotion is the only target we should have. Yes, we’re a team in transition but we’ve removed a large number of ageing players and replaced them with young, keen lads who will be desperate to do well. Couple that with a manager with the re...

Clearly it will take time for our squad to gel together but the potential is there. I expect a slowish start but steady improvement as the season progresses. Whether or not this means a promotion push or not who knows but teams last year came from well behind to fill in the play off places. What is ...

Unlike football the result isn’t everything
My wife, daughter, son and I had a ball. Bumped into a claret or two and, after beating Yorkshire, nothing else mattered
Maybe the best bit was hearing how 20,000+people hate Leeds s*um

The window may have 7 weeks to run, but our 1st game is only 18 days away, so ideally we'd have a new proven forward in by then. It's been a decent window so far, but no better than simply replacing lots of the quality which we've lost, and many of our signings are relatively unproven at this level...

I can't get too excited about most of these proposed signings. To me anyway they are mostly unknowns, mostly no experience in first teams or The Championship, and don't look like players that can give us the capabilities to return to The Premier League at the first attempt. Couple that with the los...

First flush it seems similar to what they did with Roy Evans… they didn’t see him as up to it as a top footballer, but saw the potential for a top coach. Sadly for Roy by the time he took the hot-seat himself Liverpool as a club was on the weign.
never met a weign. How many legs does one have?

I think Kompany is a good choice. Unlike Buchan and Waddle he has had a manager's post and performed ok. he has far more potential than the likes of Wilder, many of whom are simply just short of the mark. Kompany, if he has learned anything at Anderlecht, has the potential to be very good. Wilder an...

Depends what the cruciate injury is doesn’t it. Do we know what the injury was?
I am no medical expert but it was described as a tear. To my mind that is not as bad as a rupture so maybe recovery and retraining is less than usual. Maybe back for Christmas?

Pieters came in at Arsenal and played the next seven games with only Liverpool beating us. I like Taylor but I think he’s had an awful season. I totally agree with you, but if Taylor, as a younger model, is the way forward then Pieters just prevents a development player moving up the ladder. Maybe ...

We wont know how good he is until he plays for a better team. I guess at 197 minutes per goal he will be as good or better than Harry Kane this season, and H plays for a team who's only reason to exist is to put chances on a plate for England's best player

Hopefully Collins has kept under the radar . With Roberts and Taylor we could have an excellent defence . Pieters / Lowton as back up too ( maybe ) .

Never mind Henessey
I studied Will Norris in the warm up before the Watford game.
He was crossing the ball for Pope to catch. He is clearly two footed
Come shooting practice he showed tremendous outfield skills
Wasted as a keeper

We have taken points of everyone we have played twice bar Citeh and Liverpool. We also beat Spurs
So we can expect points v Villa and Newcastle

It is very hard to draw conclusions about accounts that are over 12 months in the past. Another season has gone by and it is reasonable to assume the Balance Sheet has improved since then. This is because the P&L Account is likely to be better, attendances at the ground and a further years trading. ...

Recent form counts for little. All that matters is what happens next.
For instance, if the OP calculation had been performed 5 games ago it would be very different
That all said we have momentum, can we keep it going for a couple more games
