@jim_keoghan Nobody can predict how a football match ends, there are just too many permutations. Yet this goon somehow worked out that because we overspent £19.5m on loan/interest repayments we somehow gained 4 extra points. Amazingly, just enough to make Burnley safe 🤔

@fasc1nate Can't really be called a kamikaze pilot if you made it back, that's just a pilot.

@AntMill5 @ALANMYERSMEDIA Couldn't play him but still paid him, because it was the right thing to do. £30m USM sponsorship wiped because of war, a changing of the rules for interest payments mid-season. Constantly screwed over by the PL because they don't have the balls to do the big boys.

@heno07 @ElBobble And that applies to every Club that finished below them, or got beat by them. Big can of worms opened there, and once again EFC are the guinea pigs for the PL shithouses.

@Everton Do we now do legal stuff the correct way, with bona fide lawyers rather than that Lionel Hutz 'Simpsons' one we had last time.

#EFC GOLD DUST ALERT. Film from the European Cup match at Keflavik in 1970 has been uploaded today. First time it has seen the light of day in this country. Magnificent stuff.

Brighton bought a teenager for about £4m and sold him to Chelsea for £115m. The man running the club is a professional gambler. This week he did it again, paying £21.5m for an 18-year-old from the Swedish league.

The gambler is Tony Bloom. Before football, he made his money at the poker table and in sports betting, where the whole skill is spotting something priced too low and betting big on it. He bought Brighton and ran it the same way.

Caicedo is the one everyone remembers. Brighton signed Moisés Caicedo from a club in Ecuador for about £4m and sold him to Chelsea two seasons later for £115m, the most a British club had ever paid for a player at the time. Marc Cucurella cost £15m and left for Chelsea at £62m. Liverpool paid £35m for Alexis Mac Allister, a £7m buy from Argentina. João Pedro went the same way last summer, £30m in and up to £60m out, also to Chelsea. Same move every time. Buy a kid cheap, give him a season or two to get good, then sell him to a giant at the peak of his price.

The trick is that Brighton barely guesses. Bloom owns a sports-betting company, and the club runs a private piece of software that scans players across the planet and flags the ones going for less than they are worth, usually teenagers in leagues the big clubs cannot be bothered to watch, in places like Ecuador, Argentina, Japan and now Sweden. They look for the position they need anywhere on earth, plan a year or two ahead, and have a cheap replacement ready before the star is even sold. In late 2024 they let go of most of their human scouts and leaned on the computer instead.

And it works. Brighton made the biggest profit any club has ever posted in the Premier League, around £123m in a single year, and the Caicedo money had not even come in yet. They pulled it off with the 13th-biggest wage bill in the league and one of the cheapest squads in it.

Chelsea alone have now handed Brighton about £237m for Caicedo, Cucurella and João Pedro. They are paying for the very machine that keeps beating them. And two of the four clubs Brighton held off to sign that Swedish kid this week were Chelsea and Newcastle.

So an 18-year-old from Stockholm, bought for £21.5m, is just the next chip on the gambler's table. If the pattern holds, some giant pays over £100m for him in a few years, and Brighton starts the whole thing again with the winnings.

Aah you see it's quite simple,most national anthems rally the country together and take pride in its own culture, our national anthem is about begging god to save a bunch of inbred pedophiles/ pedophile defenders,hope this helps

[David Day @Dayv1D72]

@Everton Doesn't really count though does it, because bitter arl bastard Souness says these games don't mean anything. That's coming from the man who signed George Weah's cousin.

[David Day @Dayv1D72]

@Gre9orypeck09 @Everton A bit like most home games last season.

[David Day @Dayv1D72]

@edgyt10 Defo mate, see ya both next seaon. Enjoy the calm.

[David Day @Dayv1D72]

@Powelly1985 @Everton Possibly too busy spending his pay off.

[David Day @Dayv1D72]

@edgyt10 That's it mate. The players might get the Summer off but the fans have to endure for 12 months solid in an ever constant recurring cycle. Fuck that shit, I'm enjoying them not pissing me off just by watching them every week. I'll practice my boos at the beginning of August.

[David Day @Dayv1D72]

@SG_EFC @Everton When you go shopping, if given the choice would you pay the price that's advertised or would you try and get it for less? Pretty sure that's how the transfer market works. Day they wanted £20m for him, and we paid it, there'd be fans moaning that he wasn't worth it.
