Are Wolves the most successful club in the Premier League?

No.

[Berober]

It throws up an interesting point about the money of the game. But I don't think successful was the right word. I think accomplished would be a better word to fit this article.

[EddieG]

They'd be the most succesful business company.

[Pesci]

Football is a business!

Chelsea season tickets are now on sale to members with...zero loyalty points.

LOL

The degree with which they have shot themselves in the foot with this is quite tragic. Or funny. One of those.

Oh Shteve

Lineker has a typing lisp.

[Pesci]

Nah, it all stems from this:

He went to FC Twente and within a couple of months was putting on a Dutch accent. Didn't help the widely held perception that he's a massive twat

He seems like a treat.

[Lineker]

Oh Eddie. Too clever for your own good!

I like that this season, Man City's income didn't cover their wage bill, let alone any other outgoings.

[Berober]

BBC are saying that Roberto Martinez will make a decision in the next 24 hours.

Randy Lerner's private jet has been to Madrid today, and has come back/is coming back to Luton. No word if Randy was in it, or whatever, but yeah.

Too much happening. I just want a good manager, ship out the players who want to go and replace them.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Randy Lerner's jet can fly itself?!

[Summers]

Just to ruin the joke.. I'm sure Randy doesn't pilot it personally.

There's got to be something seriously wrong these figures. It claims to be counting the average matchday spending including ticket. Since they no doubt add programme, drink, pie, etc. on top of that, Chelsea's average figure of £63 seems about right. But £11 for Blackburn/Wigan?? What are they doing, dividing the total revenue by the ground's capacity, ignoring all of Wigan's empty seats? :/

Seriously. Do not understand it at all.
