He should have just played his Playstation instead.
Eamon has been brushing up on his Bundesliga, though he's stuttering on the stats, forgivable considering the unfamiliarity of the topic.
Some revenge was exacted on Robben for his exaggerated antics last week getting two Barca players booked with Alba being suspended tonight.
interesting... didnt expect PSG to be so high up there...
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
I'm surprised to see Milan so far up there. PSG don't surprise me - they've been forced to offer a ridiculous premium to attract player like City have been.
edit: and surprised to see Malaga so low, even below Celtic!
Those figures don't make any sense in relation to what they are supposed to be about - relative player wages; £ per year on average, 1st team players. How can Celtic pay £80m to their players, with an income of ca £45m p/a and still record a profit at the end of the year? For sure there is some calculation used, which is not clear to me.
These are the Deloitte figures, revenues by stream 2011-12
Galatasaray ca €95m.
Possibly PSG and Malaga don't register on this table, because much of their revenue comes from other sources.

Amazing how a lot those other players won two European Championships and a World Cup without Messi.Originally Posted by patrickccfc
So it's an all German Final, can you name the following from the squads the last time both clubs won it (Dortmund's 1997 CL squad and Bayern's 2001 squad)?
1)2 British players (1 from each winning squad)
2)2 Swiss players (1 from each winning squad)
3)2 Brazilian players (1 from each winning squad)
4)2 Scandinavian players (1 from each winning squad)
5)2 Ghanian players (1 from each winning squad)
Good question!
Paul Lambert was with Dortmund at the time I think?
Lucio for Bayern?
Edit - sorry; was thinking of 1997 for both clubs. Hargreaves for Bayern is presumably the other Brit.

Lambert is one of them, Lucio isn't though - he hadn't moved to Bayern at that stage, he actually played in the final for Leverkusen the year after (2002).
Hargreaves definitely won with Bayern anyway.
Bayern Ghana player was probably the guy that was in bits after United beat them in '99, his name escapes me though!
Brazilian for Bayern would have been Elber, the Swiss may have been Sforza although I'm not at all sure. Just knew he was there at one stage. Lovely player. Haven't a clue about any of the Dortmund lads really bar Lambert. That's me out I think.
Swiss - Chapuisat was at Dortmund?
Ibrahim Tanko was Ghanaian? And Kuffour with Bayern?
Yeah Hargreaves and Lambert are the two British ones, You're right about Sforza (Bayern 01) and Elber (Bayern 01 you could also have had Paulo Sergio from this team) and the player from Ghana you allude to is correct (Bayern 01) anyone know who the corresponding Dortmund players were? I can give you a hint about the Swiss Dortmund player, he has the reverse* initials of Sforza.
*(in the sense that Steve Finnan and Frank Stapleton have reverse initials)
yeah it's Chapuisat and Tanko
Ah Kuffour, that's the guy.
Chapuisat was pretty obvious, disappointed with that. Tanko doesn't ring any bell at all.
I think its 800,000 rather than 80m or in other words the celtic first teamers are on average (800k /52) £15k per week whereas Barcas are on £100k or €120k per week (5.25m/52)
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

Thanks Junior, sometimes I need it spelt out.
I decided to Wiki the rest of those answers and I found a name to rival Danny Invincible for the greatest in world football. Dortmund's sub keeper for the '97 final and current goalkeeping coach, meet....
Wolfgang de Beer
Or Teddy as he was known to his friends.
