I read a stat last night...

...Burnley's combined transfer fees in their 132 year existence are something like ?45m.

Chelsea's bench last night cost ?120m.

It's why it's best to enjoy your team are doing well, but not get too emotional or over-critical when they're not.

We can't compete on a sustained basis, despite what some of the people on the stupid pills Lee referred to might say.

QPR might be a small club, but they're being bankrolled by a chap with big pockets. We may have grievances about Delia and the other board members, but would you really want to be a club like that?
