English Premier League 2024-25

The best bit is Andy Townsend saying that he thinks he shouldn’t go off for an elbow that wasn’t that far away and was likely to result in a nasty injury if it connected.

You don't even get sent off if you connect with the elbow as evidenced by bruno g's deliberate elbow on jorginho last year

No no you definitely do, just not when it’s against Arsenal.

Surprised how many people were saying it is not a sending off.

Its similar to Midget Martinez's double footer that "missed". Do we have to wait for it to connect with a cheekbone? Doubt Pedro missed deliberately

It is forever frustrating when you get a corner so deep into stoppage time that it is incredibly obvious that the ref will blow for half time as soon as it is cleared, and you don't chuck 10 men into the box to try to get on the end of it

And then you do the same thing again at full time

De Bruyne blatant dive, freekick for diving, no yellow tho

Haaland is not himself

Its Michael Oliver from the Saudi jollies pay roll innit. He blew for a foul on a Leicester corner near the start when nothing had happened also, tosser. Doku watching the Karate Kid rn before being subbed on 2nd half.

That feels ominous for the rest of the league. Such a huge goal mentally for the big guy.

Chris Wood?

Bentancur is a legit moron.

lol

Finance derail I know but does anyone know off the top of their head what time frame Spurs are using re: amortisation in relation to the new stadium? I'm sure I read 50 years somewhere, might have been the POF podcast, might have been swiss ramble, but can't recall and a quick Google/X search reveals nothing

Lold

I've got no idea myself, but out of curiosity I asked the X AI grok what the answer was (just copied your question from here exactly). Here's what it said

No idea if that's accurate or not but sometimes it can find stuff google struggles with - def seen it make mistakes as well though.

well done sir

Yep, I've tried to ask it when we built our Kop and all it can do is tell me when we bolted seats onto it

i had a close look and the answer is extremely spursy

this is the FY2022 accounts. they are depreciating different bits of the stadium at different rates. overall they took a 4.4% depreciation charge, so call it about 25 years

in 2023 they decided to stop depreciating the stadium and instead revalue it each year

still the 2023 accounts:

in the red bits below they cancel out all of the stadium depreciation to date (200 million) and whack on another 350 million of value for luck

this 'revaluation surplus' lands in the P&L (red), such that they made a 'huge profit' (blue)

this 360m FY2023 profit (bottom line) is literally daniel levy going yeah the stadium is worth 559 million more than last year dealwithit

so the answer of what time frame spurs are using to depreciate their stadium is: any number up to and including infinity years depending on what number daniel levy wants at the bottom of his P&L statement each year
