Re: From The Bee Hole End - live this Thursday
For a start, 111m euros is £95m. Quite a few of them are also incorrect. Ramsey was £12m, not £14m. Amdouni’s €18m will undoubtedly include bonus clauses. Odobert was reported at €11m not 12. Not sure why Tresor gets added to this season when he won’t be permanent until the summer window (see Beyer...

Re: Football games growing up
60’s was always a favourite… chance for a spectacular volley to bounce down off the crossbar, which was often the frame of the swings.

This Burnley way over values style over substance….. but when people pay £90m for players like Anthony, sancho, Aubemayang etc…. You can see why it fits the business model.
