Season Preview:
Man City and Arsenal have distanced themselves as the clear favorites for the title. With Arsenal closing the gap and beating Man City on xG could this be the year that they get over the line? There are some large error bars on Liverpool with klopp retiring and Salah getting older, will they be able to insert themselves in the title race again like they did last year?
For top 4/5 can Aston Villa repeat last years feat thanks to the normal culprits being completely incompetent or will one of Chelsea/United get their **** together finally (hopefully not)? Spurs went full Spurs throwing the match vs City to stop arsenal from winning the title while costing themselves top 4 in the process, will they be in the race again despite doing no business at all in the summer to address squad needs?
The relegation fight as usual has the 3 promoted teams as favorites to go back down, but with PSR looming in the background could we see a surprise team relegated?
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
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
That feels ominous for the rest of the league. Such a huge goal mentally for the big guy.
Bentancur is a legit moron.
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

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.

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
