This is something I did in the previous season too, but never got round to posting my findings. Basically over the season, because I'm a sad twat with a numerical mind and too much spare time, I've tracked each Premier League team's on-pitch player costs. It took a bit of setting up, but once you've got how much players cost a club in transfer fees the spreadsheet is fairly simple.

It's not perfect, as it doesn't account for wages, which whilst probably correlated to transfer fees don't...

Anyone watching? Let's have a thread. I'll be backing Dortmund.

Lenny Kravitz on in a minute too

This has kind of crept up, and to be honest I'm not exactly looking forward to it. A Manchester derby, the only way I can see it being much good is if United take an early lead.

On the plus side, they reinstated the kick-off at 3pm.

West Ham United’s Lucas Tolentino Coelho de Lima (known as Lucas Paqueta) has been charged with misconduct in relation to alleged breaches of The Football Association's Rules E5 and F3. The nature of these alleagations sounds potentially more serious than the recent betting charges involving Kieran Trippier, Ivan Toney and Sandro Tonali.

Aberdeen won the U18 title last week. One of their number was given his senior debut on Sunday against Hibs, where he scored in the last minute (only 15). The U18 then finished the season against Celtic at Pittodrie. 2-0 in the 88th minute, they won 3-2. This was the late winner.

Tis a wonder to behold

Anyone got a working link for today's Leeds v Norwich game?

Please excuse me posting on this site.

A young Tooting & Mitcham Academy player is in need of an ACL Meniscus repair. Unfortunately the waiting lists would mean he misses yet another season. In an attempt to aid his return next season the club has set up a GoFundMe page.

If anyone feels able to support Dawid's cause it would be very much appreciated.

Please say from a Dulwich supporter if you are able to donate.

Many thanks

Anyone seen the new footie reporting on the beeb?
I don't like it, it's not nearly as clear as the old style.

That. Is. A. Disgrace!

Seeing as no 2024 CL thread was created at the beginning of the campaign, and that surprisingly this is one of the few subforums lacking a 'lonely post' thread, tonight seems as good a time as any to birth it.

Obviously highly biased a Real Madrid fan, but even if I weren't, I would have still been very pleased to see City dumped out the CL tonight. The thought of them doing two trebles in a row was too awful to contemplate, in particular as I fear those 115 charges won't even be allowed...
