His middle name is "Von Trapp", he's German alright.

[The Lusophone]

The Von Trapps was Austrian. :/

[brenchill]

Exactly!

[Gazz]

Exactly!

I'm pretty sure that was Hitler's attitude towards Austria.

[Chael P. Sonnen]

Exactly!

I'm pretty sure that was Hitler's attitude towards Austria.

And Poland.

[stokeriño]

Poland wasn't so much German as "in the way".

[Chael P. Sonnen]

Nope but they were the first!

[stokeriño]

Nope but they were the first!

[brenchill]

Then the Americans saved us all, the end

[stokeriño]

Not even Tim Howard can save Everton's Champions Leagues hopes, I fear.

[Chael P. Sonnen]

Then the Americans saved us all, the end

Took them long enough!

[Gazz]

So Man City and PSG have breached the FFP rules, City by £112m and PSG by the GDP of Sweden.

I expect both of them to get fines that amount to pocket change.

[stokeriño]

The whole point of FFP is to keep these clubs in and the poorer clubs out. UEFA couldn't possibly consider removing them from European competition - think of the lost advertising revenue!

[stokeriño]

Got my ticket to Cardiff away (from a 2,500 allocation). Very pleased with that. And renewed my season ticket for next season...*cries at money spent*.

At least now...barring a particular result on Wednesday night...that will be my football spending sealed off for a couple of months. Yay for saved income!

stoker, EWB's richest man

[stokeriño]

I could go with that as a gimmick.

[Gazz]

Stoker has indirectly bought Roman's superyacht.

[Noah]

Stoker should buy us a club in the conference and sign all the noted athletes of EWB on inflated wages.

[stokeriño]

Stoker has indirectly bought Roman's superyacht.

He lives in a kennel out back.

[Lineker]

I thought that UEFA offered a 'settlement' for their breaching of FFP. Laughable really.
