LOL, that's true

 

As Chelsea's biggest cheerleader and former Man U captain Gary Neville said, the past month or so has been great for English football. Too bad it will all be undone in Euro 2012 by the national team's performance.

 

epl is serious moniez:

The BBC retained the rights with a bid of £179.7m.
The first ever Match of the Day was broadcast on 22 August 1964 and top-flight rights have switched between BBC and ITV since then.
Premier League highlights returned to Match of the Day in 2004-05.
The show is hosted by former England striker Gary Lineker, with Alan Hansen, Mark Lawrenson and Alan Shearer among the regular pundits.

Yeah and thanks to Man City and Chelsea, they're completely upside down:

"Here's some not-so-great news on the heels of a thrilling end to the Premier League—no one's making any money. Actually, that's not true—five teams turned a profit in 2010-2011, the last season for which financials are available. But despite a record $3.6 billion income, the 20 Premier League clubs operated at a combined $566 million loss.

The biggest loser? Manchester City, thanks in large part to comical player spending, somehow lost $309 million—easily the worst financial year for any sports franchise ever. (Remember, these are the numbers from last season, not the one that just concluded, but it's not like City reined in the spending.) Chelsea, a year before their Champions League victory, lost $107 million, and required a massive loan from owner Roman Abramovich. Liverpool lost $77 million. Manchester United—Manchester United!— only turned a profit of $19 million."

Interesting, but I doubt things will change until all the big clubs stand up for what they want, together.

 

 

You forgot your customary "Init"

 

You just have to use your imagination that that is what he's saying, roit?
