dAVe80 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The Premier League, and the Transfer Deadline. Nearly £900m spent this Summer. Sky frothing at the gash. Although I suppose it's their money, the clubs are spending. Obscene really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Oven chips. Seem to take a hour to cook. Instructions say 20 mins. Something wrong with your oven? The '20 minute' ones take about 12 minutes in ours. Yep, fan oven, catches my missus out every time. My cooking style is to stand there and stare at stuff, poke it, stir it, add a pinch of something, add a pinch of something else. Wife's cooking style is to read the instructions, if it says 25 minutes she goes away for 25 minutes to do something else, returns after 25 minutes to be surprised by the fact it's all a bit 'well done'. I say surprised, we've had the oven 5 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted September 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2015 Sounds great. I dunno. They call it Indian summer here for some reason -- hot and windless and a lot of haze. It's def not the gray Ian Curtis weather of the British Isles, but it's like the grass and trees have gone stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisVillan Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The whole Sherwood 'facials' thing. Reasonably funny to begin with, but irritating now. Sorry. I disagree, It was never funny in the first place. I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegedly Indian Summer was when the Native Americans would not go to the hills for winter because it was unusually warm late on. They would stay around and terrorise the white man on his farm. Indian Summer not good for white man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PongRiddims Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The Premier League, and the Transfer Deadline. Nearly £900m spent this Summer. Sky frothing at the gash. Although I suppose it's their money, the clubs are spending. Obscene really. It'll be all over in a matter of years, as much as the new deal is for TV rights, the inflation of player prices, and more importantly wages, will result in some truly catastrophic collapses.

I can believe that, but I don't think footballers salaries have ever exceeded the fans salaries at such a great extent. The game is on the brink of becoming a rich man's play thing already, soon we'll all be priced out, then what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs will be required to comply with this request by reducing ticket prices. They won't lose out as the TV revenue is so much. If the broadcaster doesn't care, they can electronically create a crowd. I look forward to Football Manager having a stat for this so that Sky Sports / BBC will be able to have an opinion.

chrisp65 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 It is a rich man's play thing now, today. It's out of our reach, it's a worldwide franchised business. But you know what? Collectively stop going to matches and don't renew your sport tv subscription and it will die on it's arse around about August 2016. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Another example of the rich getting richer. When I was abroad, I met a family who were staying with missus' friend. They were Dutch and rich. Different European city every weekend. I ask the kids (22 and 18) what they do for work. Son works for his dad - fat wedge. Girl has set up her own business, funded by daddy. Rich get rich, fund businesses for the rich and the rich get richer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
