Was this before or after they spent a stadiums-worth amount of money?

Ah, so you think after spending £300 million they're still on our level?

In:
Memphis Depay £25,000,000
Matteo Darmian £12,700,000
Morgan Schneiderlin £24,000,000
Bastian Schweinsteiger £14,400,000
Sergio Romero Free

Out:
Nani £4,250,000
Robin van Persie £4,200,000

Spent: £76,100,000
Recouped: £8,450,000
Net spend: £67,650,000

Give it a rest with the comical estimations on their spending

Except language is usage driven and the cockney phrase is 'quiet down'. So you are right in a Roman sense but entirely wrong in a linguistic sense

But I'm right in a grammatical sense - which was my point.

Please excuse the hyphen - quite inexcusable.

As I said, if you believe we are speaking Latin, you are entirely correct. If you realize that we are speaking English, which is defined by usage, you will realise you're entirely wrong

I don't agree at all, but there you go. Are you a cockney by the way?

They aren't, as earning the penalty has no connection to being the person who takes it. You're confusing the measuring of two different things.

Completely disagree. If a player is fouled in the opposition box, they are statistically likely to be an attacking player (though of course, I know this isn't the case every time) so there is certainly an increased chance that said player is the striker.

For argument's sake, I decided to look at this thread's most recently discussed player, Saido Berahino.
Last season, he scored four penalties in the league, which can be summarised like this:

16/8/14 – Penalty against Sunderland (42’) earned by Anichebe

4/10/14 – Penalty against Liverpool (56’) earned by Berahino

25/10/14 – Penalty against Palace (90+3’) earned by Anichebe

18/05/15 – Penalty against Chelsea (47’) earned by Berahino

All four of these penalties were conceded by fouling West Brom's attacking players, and half of them via fouls upon Berahino himself. So yeah, I'd say he's at least somewhat responsible for those goals scored, even when ignoring the composure, etc, required to put them away.

And your whole point ignores the propensity of players (particularly attackers) to wish to take penalties they've 'earned'. Even so far as grabbing the ball off of their teammates.

It's not complicated at all - you picked off

Honest John for a grammatical error, and I pointed out that you're not quite yet an expert yourself. Drop it now, it's boring everyone.

That Telegraph article says that we are planning to make an opening bid of ... £10 million.

I understand that negotiating is a tactical thing and all, and that you gotta start low. But ...
Seriously? Ten Million Pounds?! WTF, Levy ... stop beating around the bush, FFS. Show some more respect.

Plus, imo Berahino is easily worth £15 mil, if not easily more.

Lamela on loan? What the flying fuckety fuck!!!!!!
