Totally Unofficial 2011/12 Premier League Thread (NWT)

BIGGEST RESERVE GAME OF THEM ALL today

Everton Res XI to face the shite: Hahnemann, Browning, Touray, Forshaw, Dier, Weir, Gueye, Barkley, Vellios, Baxter, Coleman.
 
United, who are second in the table behind neighbours and bitter rivals Manchester City, released their financial report for the fourth quarter of 2011 today.

The figures showed that the club's total revenue at the end of 2011 stood at £175m, an increase of £18.5m on the figure of £156.5m, which United declared at the end of 2010.

The club have experienced increases in match day revenue – up from £52.4m to £54.5 million, media revenue – up from £53.7m to £60.9m, and commercial revenue, which has risen to £58.6m from £50.4m.

The club, who are taken over by the Glazer family in 2005, have a debt of £439m as of the end of last year, down from £508m the previous year.

The reason behind the decrease in the club's debt is because United have bought back some of the bonds that were sold as part of a £500m refinancing exercise at the start of 2010.

United also reported today that total operating costs rose sharply from £96.9m to £110.8m.
Net player capital expenditure jumped from £11.7m to £47.9m due to the summer signings of David de Gea, Ashley Young and Phil Jones and general capital expenditure rose by £10.4m, thanks partly due to the cost of refurbishment of the club's hospitality boxes at Old Trafford.
The figures show United currently have a bank balance of £50.9m.
The club are expected to experience a decline in income over the next six months after dropping down to the Europa League from the Champions League.

Happy birthday to PHIL JONES!

And RIP to Duncan Edwards, who passed away on this day in 1958.

@OptaJoe: 48% - LFC PL win percentage with Lucas Leiva in the starting line up since Aug 2010, compared to 32% without him. Fonder.
 
not sure how much it really hurts them. Cahill seems to be playing just as well as he was. Luiz seems inconsistent but you have to keep playing him as well.
 
West Ham vs. Blackpool has just started. Blackpool only five points behind. West Ham are two points out of first with TWO games in hand.

A win would take us back to the top. Haven't lost at Blackpool since 1966.

New signings Vaz Te and Maynard both start up top (Cole takes a rest).

Nolan and Taylor both suspended on red cards; Noble captains the side.
