Chelsea want Krasic

Think you need to buy to cement a top 4 place. Gonna be tough with Arse Chels and Liverpool all vying for that spot..

If we can beat City, we can beat any team in the league. If we beat Spurs today, there's no reason why we can't push for third. Liverpool slipped up yesterday and Arsenal's win wasn't the most convincing (both good games though), so why not?

Just wait for Jan and the summer transfer windows anyway. I'm sure Roman will give AVB pretty much anything he needs to rebuild the club. They both know it's needed.

Did you see AZ's keeper kick the pitch invader? He went nuts on him lmao.

Aye so funny about the keeper. Good on the coach for taking them all off too.

Are Chelsea immune from financial fair play? You can't splash out anymore...

Doesn't it officially start June 1st? I don't know.

Regardless, we can still spend as much as we want as long as we breakeven by 2014. Not to say we will as it's not viable, but that's how it is.

City are in an awful position for Fair Play. Your wage bill is ridiculous. Not to mention how you're not going to get the extra Champions League money this season.

Yeah us and Chelsea are in trouble tbh. But I feel that we don't need to spend as much as Chelsea do to bridge the gap.

We are building that massive new training and youth complex though which apparently doesn't count in your balance sheet. And that crazy sponsorship deal with Etihad..

Isn't that Etihad sponsorship being looked into by UEFA? I know it was, but I didn't follow it so I'm not sure if it's been sorted out yet?

Chelsea are in a bad position for Fair Play, but not as bad as City. I've been reading up on it and I've come across these quotes from football finance expert Andy Green.

"For Chelsea, I think if they can get a bigger ground they can probably get there,"

"For City, they've got a long way to go. They need to get into the Champions League, stay there year after year, probably put their ticket prices up and really turn around their commercial side - in fact they need to make it one of the best in the world - to even have a chance of meeting these rules."

Like I said, we can still technically splash out within reason. "Uefa's rules allow clubs to run up losses of £65m over the first five years." But of course, you want to meet those regulations.

And yeah, your new training ground is going to look lovely tbh. It'll be up there with Cobham.

AZ Alkmaar is my team, was kinda shocked to see it happen and I think the manager made a good call to get everyone off the field. Even if they were save for the rest of the game, it wouldn't be fair to play when the entire team is in shock.

This is how we waited for our players to get back home.

[cityfan31]

I guess it's a 2 horse race then.

Now, fuck off Man United!

I watched from 77', was at a high school reunion with my mates, so I missed most of the game, but from what I saw, DAMN!!!! Must've been one hell of a game

That it was. Either side could have won it. I'm suprised just how solid defensively we were considering we had Paulo at RB and Boswinga at CB. Fantastic performance from the back 4. Not to mention JT's save right at the end.

Great game, we played well but I think the draw was the fair result.
