It's no fairytale, that much is obvious to all other than the wax lyrical SKY like to bang out.
I simply disagree the money they spent means we have to congratulate them with a 'but we did it more fairly'. I'd like to think that they are fully aware of how ****ed up the financial divide is...
Now that's some some rhetoric I can get on board with.
It was a wonderful story, one that betfair and others should have capitalised on. 'Gamble irresponsibly... It CAN pay off.. disclaimer: sometimes'
Our first 11 is worth more than 50M+. What does it matter what we purchased them for? Ours was a building project over years, they ****ed up massively by getting relegated with a decent PL squad and didn't have the luxury of time.
Totally different situations, Toon were relegated with a bunch...
He was referring to respective budgets. Not club 'size'.
I've actually had Hudds fans congratulate us while referencing our losses, so yes we do know what it's like.
Think it's a new PL rule mate, see here:

Issue is you only have a narrow view of your own games. That kind of shit happens every season in this league, it was only last game in fact that one of our players got scythed down in Norwich's box and nothing given - less than a minute later it's in our net for 2-0. The refereeing standard...
When was the last time PNE did us a favour?
They've ****ed us all season, including taking 4 points from us and losing to just about every other top 6 team home and away besides Hudds, and I guess they beat Norwich early season.
