Prize money for each EPL club by table standing:

http://www.101greatgoals.com/wp-content/gallery/gimages/the-premier-league-prize-money-table-2012-2013.png
LOL @ Liverpool's Total money and/or Live TV money :D
More than/close to about 4 teams that finished above.
^ the money for league position is pretty small, 700k per spot.

tv money just reflects how big the fanbase is, because it is based on how many of the clubs' games were broadcasted live on tv.

liverpool obviously has a bigger fanbase than chelsea and everton for example, so you'd expect more tv money. for me the curious thing is why chelsea and arsenal got less tv money than spurs? especially with them crashing out of the cup matches so early (or are those tv payments separate?)
If anyone wants to see, here are the 5 or so best Bale goals this season:

+1
I have to say he is getting really consistent with his long efforts lol. So many times he'd cut in on his left foot and just thump one in the top right corner or top left doesn't really matter.
When a player scores one long range effort some consider it as a fluke but Bale has been scoring goals like that all season and I liked his goal against west ham.
he's getting better an better
whoever said dat long range goal are "fluke" should just shot themselves

its 10% luck,
20% skill,
15% concentrated power of will,
5% pleasure,
50% pain,
And 100% reason to remember the name!
Brace your self PL teams ! the special one is coming !
It'll be very interesting next season with the top 3 all signing new managers.
+1
U mean that special guy who lost the final of CDR to AM. The special guy who probably got sacked.
+5
Yes chelsea will now dominate the league lol.
@KingLucas yeah the guy who has won leagues in four countries,and actually finished 2nd in the league in his "worst" season ever as opposed to someone delusional, building castles in the air of finishing 2nd in the league and actually finishing 7th......

@cjay i'd worry more about Moyes who has never won an away league game at Chelsea,United,Arsenal or Liverpool in his 11 year managerial stint at Everton in 46 attempts
+6
madrid finishing second is as hard as celtic winning the spl this season
+3
@greatchelsea No disrespect to everton but you can't compare them to United its a totally different team. I wasn't suprised when you mentioned his away record because thats the only negative thing you could point out?
Moyes kept Everton consistently in the top 10 with the little budget he has and now he's going to manage a different team, along with different players so write off United at your own peril its something we got used to by now.
Bearwithfish wasnt meant as an achievement just a ridicule at some outrageous claim....here is the pic of Jose achievements at Madrid...

@Cjay its not something trivial but a glaring miss in his CV especially from United point of view...no disrespect to Moyes but it shows the way he sets up his team for away games and that he has been unable to nick an odd victory even with a very decent Everton team of previous seasons...he has to adjust his approach at United to win away games and be a little less conservative in team setup...the time he takes will determine where United finishes next year
+1
@greatchelsea Its funny how most of you think since Fergie retired it means United won't be competitive just because Moyes is going to manage it. Don't forget he's managing a side who just won the title. With most of you lot writing us off already now I'm looking forward for next season to start lol.
^Wrong, never said United wont be competitive, they always are....i just pointed out it will be a season for transition for most of the top 4 clubs and the title race will be much much closer to what this season's was.....might even go down to goal difference as last season....
+1
Ohhh nooo "won leagues in four countries"
Give him a team that DOESN'T have a rich sugar daddy and let's see where he will finish.
A self-righteous ignorant twat who doesn't even have the self-respect to bow out of Madrid in a graceful manner.
The only team that he has done a great job is at Porto, and I don't even see that as a huge merit given the fact that Porto was already a force to reckon with in the Portuguese League.
And the only team that proved to be any challenge in their Champions League triumph was ManUtd and it was smooth sailing from there to the final.


"and actually finished 2nd in the league in his "worst" season ever"
Yeah, with players like Ronaldo, Ozil, Di Maria, etc .. I would actually expect a 1st place finish even if it IS his "worst season"


Give him a team like West Ham or Swansea in the EPL or Sampdoria in the Serie A [without a RICH owner splashing 100mil on players each summer], THEN lets see what he does and where he finishes in the those respective leagues.



"building castles in the air of finishing 2nd in the league and actually finishing 7th"
Well, I'm sorry we can't fire a manager every 3 minutes and buy our way to cups. The Great Wall of Chelsea has won a lot of trophies without the help of their money .. oh wait ..
Teja, Rich sugar daddy's want him because he is good at his job. And in fact he finished the job that Ranieri could not do.

Show me one source anyone predicting that Porto would have won the CL at 2003....???

Next time instead of making flawed arguments like that, just say you hate him. Everyone can respect that.

+4
Joke, give Martinez the Madrid job and he'd finish in top2 every year too. With players like Ronaldo and all AND spending 100+ million Pounds EVERY summer, it would surprise me had they finished anywhere outside top2 or even top3.

With all that said, Mourinho wasn't even able to take Madrid to the CL finals.

LOL one source? After they defeated ManUtd, every game from there on, Porto were favorites to win.
Even Celtic won against Barcelona this season, so Porto winning against ManUtd at that stage, 10 years ago, was unexpected but it worked out for Mourinho and Porto.

Yeah, I do hate Mourinho. But there was nothing "flawed" about my arguments.
Teja, What about Intermilan? He beat Barca and Bayern another job that this time Mancini could not do. His resume speaks for itself.
Again I totally understand why would anyone hate him,he is kind of a jerk, but you can't say he is a bad manager. I dont think any Barca fan would agree with you.
+1
First of all let me say that there both legends in english football history but for those who thinks lampard is better than gerrard you dont know nothing about football whats ever let me break it down for you this wa..people compares how many trophies lampard have won than gerrard then saying lampard is better than gerrard well you need to understand that not one Man wins trophies you win trophies as a team, chelsea has been better than liverpool in past decade...chelsea fc is a billion dollar club which makes players that sarround lampard very expensive andand way better than those that sarrounds gerrard chelsea have had better managers than liverppol the so called best manager in the world the special one and the likes of carlo ancellotti who had done so well in the biggest clubs in the world such as ac milan what happens when you get sarrounded by quality players and managers arround you? Things become.easy for you with no disrespect if you can compare for me its pau scholes and gerrard Those are the ones in atleast the same level even if i steel preffer gerrard. Why did the scientist himself the master of all zidane admited that gerrard is the best in the wol, i wish you could go aroung every leagues in the world top flight proffesional or not and and ask which england midfielder inspired them trust me me the answer will be mostly gerrard and i have alot of them for example de rosi who said stevie g is an idol of his , this is kind of the same way i used to compare ronaldinho to zadane there barca madrid era i used used to think ronaldinho was better just because of his magical tricks and the fact that he had better scoring record than zidane but what the likes of ZIDANE,GERRARD,SCHOLES,TOTTI,T.HENRY are capable of is that they motivate there teams they inpire those players that sarround them and give the team strength to perfom to maximum level england is also retarted i don't know why england's captaincy came to qiestioning JT never deserved to be captain of england wit, his controversies gerrard not winning epl or as many trophies as lampard is not his fault its 11 men that win trophies and of course a better team with Man great players,and the main point now is that just cause lpard broke chelsea record people are trying to make that effect how great gerrard is here is what mskes gerrard an overall way better than lampard gerrard plays as a left back , both wings defensive mid cemntre mid second striker and attacking mid not to mention how much he always put up into a team that have no great players arround him go back a DECADE AGO PUT LPARD PUT LAMPARD IN LPOOL AND USE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR AND SEE HOW MUCH LAMPS CAN FEET IN GERRARD shoes beckham was good too his a living legend yes only thing i know about him is freekicks and modeling, and there is just no way in hell that lamps is better than gerrard cause if you think so please just stop supporting football cause you have no clue what you talking cause if lampard is better than gerrard because of his goal records or whetever then your saying his better than scholes too which is absolutly not true..SORRY I USED MY FONE TO WROTE THIS i might miss spell alot of words thereNo looking for a fight with anybody here lpard is steel one of the greatest midfielders i have witnessed in past decade am just sharing my thoughtsSomebody down there laughed for mentioning stevie g's name in same sentence with david beckham well i got a question you what is that beckham can do that stevie g can't take out both players in there prime and exchange to opposite clubs and see what beckham can do for liverpool and i can tell you what gerrard can do and that becmham can't the only thing that beckam can do better than gerrard is freekicks and modrling point blank period winning trophies in many leaguez nothing its not like him and lpard played for avrage team or played 1vs11 all season and won trophies single you guys need to grow up learn some more about football before you start talking just cause you hate liverpool dont mean you should hate the legend STEVEN GERRARD cause you deep down in heart he is one of the greatest england has ever had.

A friendly advice, you should never write like you talk!
+5
friendly advice, you should never judge people withh how they talk or write!

My grammar teacher like this^^
+1
Can someone translate ?
+2
LIke i said used my fone so grow up and dont act lime you didnt get what i was saying
+1
You guys actually read the whole thing? you got time on your hands.
+3
wtff??? this is a enough for one newspaper lol!!
+4
the bottom line is ... Scholes is better than both'em .. whether u compare the number of trophies or what ZIZU and other legends say ... ! That's all folks... !
I understand its a hinderance to type all this on your phone mate but its difficult to process that much information when it's written that way and would have been much easier to read had it been written in paragraphs etc. If your phone has the capabilities to post something on footytube then it should allow for paragraphs and grammar :)

Overall though I understand your point, had Gerrard been around players of similar quality as himself he may well have achieved as much if not more than Lampard but alas we shall never know. Gerrard certainly does seem like the more all round player out for the two but Lampard's success and goalscoring record kind of speak for themselves at times.
Either way this debate is never going to gain a conclusion, all it does is just incite arguments these days lol. Both are brilliant players, can't really say more then that.
Watch out for the grammar police BNTH4LIFE.

Also I read the whole thing, wasn't that long really. Compared to some of the stuff Magneto posted in here it's short :P

BNTH4LIFE at least gave reasons on his opinion and why he felt like that. Then you get "the bottom line is ... Scholes is better than both'em" hmm quite fitting lol
This post is so not needed lol to many times debates on whose better and it's all a matter of opinion at this point.
come on its not so hard to use paragraphs and at least simple grammer. That is just one huge mess, my eyes hurt.
+3
wait..are we supposed to read this? haha
I actually read some ^^

"there is just no way in hell that lamps is better than gerrard cause if you think so please just stop supporting football"

Basically all those who disagree with your opinion should stop supporting football, lol grow up
+1
Dan, since you seemed to ask for it....

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/11/16/paul-scholes-birthday_n_2142400.html

Not trying to start a Scholes vs Lampard vs Gerrard argument.....BNTH did enough of that. All three are world class.

One point that BNTH made that struck, is the England captaincy.
Pointless discussion that's been argued many times and doesn't need to be brought up again via a huge block of text. Keep these sort of debates on your own forum thanks
Don't have a problem with the huge block of text. Just can't tell where sentences begin and end.
For the last 4 years the average amount of goals a game has been between 2.77 and 2.81 in the EPL, much more consistent than the averge amount of goals scored in the last 4 years per match in La Liga (between 2.7 and 2.9)
Ok
+11
LoL
So many legends retired this season, so many managerial changes are going to happen along with player acquisitions.
Looking forward to this transfer season!

Fergie's 'last chewing gum' for sale on eBay. Currently at £620.00

What the?
Is it even real?

At least the money goes to charity.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sir-Alex-Fergusons-Chewing-Gum-RARE-/290919060028
+4
haha this is hilarious!
I hope they picked the s**t up with an acid resistant gloves
+2
I remember when he once spat that filthy gum of his onto our pristine Highbury pitch, unbelievable.
+2
lol
wow it has gone up by £100 in 15 minutes.
who are we kidding here? Is that really Sir Alex last gum?
Maybe the buyer is looking to clone their own Fergie?
ughhh... the current bid now is £60,500!!
£150,000.00? this can be real
Did he lose his mouthpiece? It's not like he is not going to chew anymore

no disrespect!
Lol must be QPR
I am back!!!

OPTA TEAM OF THE SEASON

Cech,Zabaletta, Chico, Vertongen, Baines,Hazard, Mata, Cazorla, Bale,Van Persie, Suarez.
+2
I suppose that's a team purely based on statistics...however in reality that team would have hard time winning against top teams without a proper midfielder but a good team nonetheless.
+3
was there a team this season that had an easy time against top teams? maybe arguably bayern. pretty wicked team if you ask me.

prophet just wants carrick to be in there.
+1
Cech, Zabaletta, Ivanavic ,Evra ,Baines , Mata, Bale,Cazorla,
Michu, Surez, Van persie
Because Evra is a Centre Back.....................................................................................................
Rio Ferdinand should be in there!! Consistent throughout the season having to play with different partners but was always brilliant
Who saw the trolling at white hart lane yesterday when the news came in that arsenal had conceded a goal? that s**t reminds me of the utd fans at stadium of light last 2 season
+1
Living in the past lol thats what a trophyless season does to you lol.
+21
do you mean the trophyless season you had last year? cool story tho
+5
If only city spend more time preparing for the wigan game instead of organising the parade I wouldn't be talking of city being trophyless now.
+13
thanks for your good advise
Dwelling in the past, that's what people do when they have no future. See you at Community Shield game.
^ Community shield?
shiwa community shield would be between premier league winners and fa cup winners,so its between man utd and wigan! I don't understand why you mentioned community shield in your comment.
Lol shiwa I hope you're being sarcastic because we are playing wigan not city.
Im not tryna hate or anything. I respect beckham and he's one of my idol growing up .

BUT, im sure he wouldn't be where he is now, immense fame/fortune, if he's ugly / looks like Rooney. Right? lol I means seriously. all those endorsements, model, fashion etc.
+4
and also im not sure if it was a cry
actually no one have a one move on Fabrice muamba who sffer in the pitch heartattack for loving the game

and Michael Ballack , / scholes
Beckes is good at marketing him self and make him self very known
of course @aaron.just try comparing cristiano and messi.cristiano is more of an idol,popularity,fame and everything except football skill
Ljungberg was incredibly good looking but didn't earn the same sort of accolades that Beckham did, so I don't think it contributed as greatly as you think, unless you count marrying a Spice Girl as meteoric in terms of his popularity lol. I think it's more the fact he was so damn good and the respected Captain of England's team, that earned him his status. Underwear ads just don't compare to that.
+7
@aaron. if u take the looks away he is still much more charismatic than rooney. behaviour on and off the pitch has to do with it as well. some ppl can't even understand rooney when he talks. Beckham has an appealing accent and easy to comprehend.
why does it matter
I don't get why people doesn't accept that the fact Beckham is actually a good footballer and not because he's a good looking guy
You all are suspect:D
i dont think anyone is denying beckham being a good footballer, its when they say he was a world class player that it starts to sounds lame.
+2
Beckhams behavior off the pitch has never been the best. he almost lost his wife. But u cant take it away from him, he may not be as good as zidane but he put the spotlight on "deadballs" and dats enough to term him worldclass
