£20m. :roflmao:

 

On a serious note though, it does show the gulf in sponsorship value even between Premier League teams.

 

If you take the Man United deal with Chevrolet over 3.5 years (it is a 7 year deal) you get a good idea of that.

 

The West Ham deal is worth £5.7m per year.  The Man United deal is worth £52m per year.

 

Still, not bad for an irrelevant little club in London. :bike:

Exactly that I was thinking when I posted. Add in the current limited attendance figures and it's no wonder they're not a consistent top 6 team.

 

I also shows that as the money goes up the returns deminish. i.e. twice the budget doesn't mean twice the ability but then you don't need that. You just need to be good enough to win.

 

More money coming and a bigger capacity ground can only help.

 

Not looking forward to today's game. We'd need to be at full strength to challenge and with a crippled defence it could get nasty.

The United game is tomorrow, not today.

 

I won't be surprised if it is a draw.  I think it'll be a tough game.  We've been very poor and scraping through games recently.  Defensively we aren't anything like as bad as people make out but we've been struggling for goals and any form of fluidity.

 

The defensive frailty comments puzzle me most though from pundits.

 

In terms of goals conceded, this is the Premier League...

 

17 - Southampton

20 - Chelsea

22 - Man United

23 - Man City

----------------------

25 - Arsenal

----------------------

27 - Liverpool

27 - West Ham

28 - Stoke

30 - Swansea

30 - Spurs

30 - Aston Villa

 

..yet United get constantly criticised for their defence.

 

Bizarre.

I feel for you. NOT.

Since the beginning of the Premier League in 1992, Arsenal have generally dominated this fixture, winning 18 matches out of the 44 played and losing only 8 times. Arsenal also lead in the wider context of the Premier League, having won the competition three times to Tottenham's none and by finishing above their rivals in the table 19 times in 21 seasons. This fixture is also notable for being the highest-scoring one in the Premier League, with 126 goals scored in 44 meetings (as of March 2014).

Good old Wikipedia:)

Gareth Bale will be massacred in La Marca tonight and tomorrow.

 

The Real fans have already turned on him in a bizarre fashion despite a very good season for them so far (all for not passing to Ronaldo a few times).

 

However, the reports already suggest he was completely anonymous today (they also say most of the other Real players were too though) and the fans seem to like picking on him whenever a result goes the wrong way.

He's like one of those embarrassing middle aged blokes in the pub who suddenly regresses to an 18 year old and wants to take the world on. Likes to give a bit of 'banter' out but can't hack getting it back. Thinks he's the hardest man in the world at an age when anyone with a sense of self respect knows enough not to get involved. And takes himself far, far too seriously.

 

 

Not entirely unlike one or two on here ... we all have our moments. :uhoh:
