The email read out in episode 44 of the podcast. Alright Gents. Lots of talk about scum/bluscum reactions to Saturday’s tragedy. Gooner mates have been fine, actually.

You’re probably expecting this article to a be a lengthy breakdown about the amount of TV revenue, sponsorship, merchandise and prize money lost from being unceremoniously dumped out of our well earned Champions League place? It’s not. That breakdown can be found in great detail elsewhere. There is another way to generate that amount of […]
