And I have the same question I had a few weeks ago, where the fuck are Atletico getting their money?

That's possibly the best interview response I've ever read

John Guidetti has produced a few better ones.

"I know it sounds as if we're killjoys but we have to protect our intellectual property."

No, you don't just sound like killjoys, you are killjoys. Copyrights are not like trademarks, you do not need to defend them for them to remain valid.

I think these events have made it very clear that the United States in the 21st century is a police state.

But they're not in 'most European countries' they are in America where it isn't illegal.

I was just pointing it out.

Wouldn't achieve anything though, as far as the law goes what they do isn't illegal, however disgusting it is.

What they do would be illegal in most European countries. Much of it would be considered as harassment, breach of the peace or hate speech.

Why are their stores so crap if they can afford that sort of wage?

Because they are a no-frills chain.

Just applied for a few more jobs, not even getting my hopes up now. So soul destroying constantly applying for stuff and hearing sod all back, at least i have a job while i look though i suppose.

I'm split on whether it is better to hear nothing or to get one of those half-condescending form emails.

Not sure if it's been said already, but the Newcastle kit is fucking horrendous.

And of course Malmö ends up with the toughest possible draw. Yay!

Better luck next year!

Their results would argue otherwise.

Good to see Malmö turn the tie around against Sparta Prague. It's been 14 years since we had a team in the group stage now, that really has to be changed.

According to common wisdom. Barcelona think differently.

Barca seem to have sort of fetish for signing not very good defenders.

The culture at Barcelona makes them look for different qualities in their defenders than most other clubs do, they place a much higher emphasis on ball skills, even if it means signing someone who's weaker at traditional defensive attributes. Same thing with their goalkeepers.

1. Man Utd
2. Man City
3. Chelsea
4. Arsenal
--------------------
18. Aston Villa
19. Leicester
20. Burnley

I dread to think the length of Pardew's next contract extension if that ever happened.

He'd be signed until 3046, at the very least.

Am I getting old or are 'kek' and 'rekt' the two most annoying internet sayings of all time?

Even 'owned' was better.

Isn't that Scots for pants?

Expect there to be a pretty big exodus out of Shakhtar Donetsk the next few weeks. Going to be interesting to see where everyone ends up.

At least Everton fans can't carry on with the excuse of how little they spend, despite their net spend/income not being a great deal different from ours over the last 15 years or so before the Ozil deal.

Arsenal have and continue to spend a lot more on wages than Everton, something that correlates much more with winning than high transfer spending does.

Southampton have been linked with Biabiany as well.

If Spurs get Rodriguez, potentially only leaves QPR and Newcastle as options for Loic Remy. - Not what he hoped for.

Well there would be a new opening for a striker at Southampton, wouldn't it?

They're only spent about 10m net.

Assuming that they actually owned all the player rights for their outgoing transfers, which given Atletico's history of third-party ownership strikes me as quite a generous assumption.

Atletico Madrid have signed Greizmann for €30m

Where are they getting their money from?
