So were the other league wins. That worked out well didn’t it?.
Talk about spoiling my metaphor?
Yes.
This season is the start of their dominance.

We are playing the game now and they are buying up all the properties and can afford too buy the Hotels before we can raise money to buy mere houses. The dice are loaded.So were the other league wins. That worked out well didn’t it?
The metaphor is dead. Stop punching it.We are playing the game now and they are buying up all the properties and can afford too buy the Hotels before we can raise money to buy mere houses. The dice are loaded.
They have jumped straight to hotels ?The metaphor is dead. Stop punching it.
And you don’t win Monopoly by buying Hotels. You win by buying Houses. Trust me.
I’ve no idea if we are still talking about football or not.They have jumped straight to hotels ?
When a players owns the majority of the properties especially the expensive ones and has Hotels on all of them- because they have so much money coming in, houses are chicken feed in comparison. They will win by default because there is no possible come back form other players. The game become boring and you lose interest.
£.4.46 bn BT and sky have agreed to pay to show English football average £2.7 million per game! Brighton v Huddersfield
West brom v Watford
Southampton v Swansea
They games worth that? Bubble ain't gonna pop just yet.....
Agree. When Leicester won, for us Spurs fans it wasn't something to cheer but it was something to feel emotional about. Having City do what they have done has left me emotionless, I can't applaud it, I especially can't agree with the regime behind it.With the climax of city winning the league of which was a bit of a damp squib and it was a forgone conclusion months ago and we all know how it came about? Will we ever see a last day decider again a relegation threatened club fighting tooth and nail against a team knowing a win will see them champions and the loser condemned to the championship or is this going to be norm league wrapped up with half dozen games to go?
Nazi salutes, in what context?Agree. When Leicester won, for us Spurs fans it wasn't something to cheer but it was something to feel emotional about. Having City do what they have done has left me emotionless, I can't applaud it, I especially can't agree with the regime behind it.
What always fucks me off is the media's position, Dortmund, St Pauli and only the other week another Bundesliga Club came our with Anti-Nazi stuff, which was applauded by the Broadsheet media, but today not one of the same Journalists (with the exception of Nick Harris) have mentioned what is behind City, the two things are linked, you can't separate the two, yet the media have chosen to do just that, why?
Anyway, aside from that I also think that deep down we all know that this is just the beginning of a Club that it set-up to not just dominate English football but World football.
Eh? I said they were against Nazi's.Nazi salutes, in what context?
These same German clubs protest against Monday night TV money football don't they. Maybe something has been lost in translation
Misread-sorry.Eh? I said they were against Nazi's.

That’s whats behind the bubble of the exploding tv contracts. But extrapolating out the US market results (whose live sports contracts have been exploding for years - until now) you see that it’s something of a fallacy. Increasingly, live sport ratings are dropping as well. Global sports tv contracts are entering a period of regression as networks find out they aren’t the value they were thought to be. The internet, and it’s effect on consumer attention spans, means that live sport is a dwindling ratings return.I don't think it will for a while - TV is still funded quite a lot by adverts, but modern TV where you can record / pause / fast forward as well as Netflix, Amazon, etc means that very few people actually watch live TV now except for sporting events..........Premier League football is one of the easiest ways to reach a large number of consumers
