As the Champions League reaches the last 16 and the Europa League the last 32, I took a quick look at the latest available revenue and wages data for those clubs still in the competition. Some analysis in the following thread.
Five clubs in Champions League last 16 have over half a billion revenue, led by the Spanish giants: Real Madrid £665m, Barcelona £612m, #MUFC £590m, Bayern Munich £557m & #MCFC £500m. Other English clubs: #LFC £455m & #THFC £379m. Lowest revenue by far at Ajax £81m & Porto £94m.
Barcelona £431m and Real Madrid £350m again have the highest wage bills (even after excluding other sports), followed by #MUFC £296m. Then come 3 clubs in a narrow range: Bayern Munich £268m, #LFC £263m and #MCFC £260m. #THFC £127m is 2016/17 figure. Ajax wages only £47m.
The English clubs have by far the highest revenue in the Europa League: #CFC £448m & #AFC £389m. Then a huge gap to Inter £249m, followed by a similarly large gap to Napoli £162m, before a group just under £150m: Zenit £149m, Leverkusen £147m & Sevilla £146m. #CelticFC on £102m.
It’s pretty much the same story with Europa League wage bills, as the highest are again #CFC £244m and #AFC £223m. Then a massive gap to Inter £137m, followed by Leverkusen £113m, Napoli £87m, Sevilla £86m and Fenerbahce £84m.
Obviously, high revenue and wage bills are not a guarantee of success, but they do provide a reasonable indication of which clubs should do well in the Champions League and Europa League. Let’s see if that is truly reflected on the pitch.

Deloitte have published the 22nd edition of their annual Football Money League, which ranks the world’s leading football clubs by revenue, this time covering the 2017/18 season. Some thoughts in the following thread.
Real Madrid £665m reclaimed top spot, while Barcelona £612m made it a Spanish “one-two” – the first clubs to break the £600m barrier. #MUFC £590m fell to 3rd, having been 1st last year. Bayern Munich £557m and #MCFC £503m retained 4th & 5th places, while PSG £480m were up to 6th.
There are no fewer than six English clubs in the top ten, including #LFC £455m, #CFC £448m, #AFC £389m and #THFC £379m (overtaking Juventus). Roma, Milan and #NUFC were new entrants to the top 20, replacing #LCFC, #SaintsFC and Napoli.

Arsenal’s 2017/18 financial results covered a season when they finished 6th in the Premier League, while reaching the Europa League semi-finals. Manager Arsène Wenger was replaced by Unai Emery, while Stan Kroenke took full ownership. Some thoughts in the following thread #AFC
#AFC profit before tax increased from £45m to £70m, despite revenue falling £35m (8%) to £388m, mainly due to participating in Europa League rather than more lucrative Champions League, as profit on player sales surged £113m to £120m. Profit after tax improved from £35m to £57m.
All #AFC revenue streams decreased: broadcasting was £19m (9%) lower at £180m, mainly due to lower Europa League distributions; commercial dropped £10m (9%) to £107m; match day declined £1m (1%) to £99m; while player loans fell £5m to £2m.

Following my recent analyses of where Premier League and Championship clubs source their money and what they spend it on, I received many questions on how a cash flow statement works, so I will explain the mechanics (using Premier League season 2016/17) in the following thread.
Traditionally, supporters have focused on a club’s profit and loss account, which is not surprising, because: (a) that is what the media tend to report; (b) it is intuitively easy to understand, being basically revenue less expenses (mainly player wages).
Nevertheless, the reported figure is an accounting profit, which is not necessarily a “real” cash profit, as it is based on the accountant’s accruals concept and this can be very different from actual cash movements.

The third day of Kavanaugh hearings is underway. Booker is currently telling the committee he'll release some emails that have been marked "committee confidential." (Feel free to mute this thread.)
Cornyn just described Booker's announcement as "outrageous" and compared it to releasing classified information.
Cornyn, to Booker: Running for president is "not an excuse to violate the rules of the committee."

BREAKING! CIG have filed their response to the latest SAC filed by CryTek.

docdroid.net/N0hyv2e/031128…

I took a quick look; and will delve into it briefly now.
TL;DR

Dec 2017: CryTek sues CIG/RSI for a litany of things which all but guarantee to put them out of business

Jan 2018: CIG answers suit, and files a Motion To Dismiss (MtD) all of it

Aug 2018: Judge rules on the MtD

Chronology:

dereksmart.com/forum/index.ph…
A few days ago, after the judge ruled on the MtD, Crytek filed an amended (SAC) complaint as per the judge's guidance in her ruling.

I covered the MtD ruling and the SAC (updated at bottom of article below) here:

So you might have heard that Facebook has suspended #CambridgeAnalytica and Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL) for fraudulent use of #data extending back to 2015. newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/03/s… Here's how to check your privacy and ad settings on @facebook. A thread.
Anyone that uses Facebook has probably given permission to an app at some stage. Maybe you use FB to sign into other sites, or you wanted to see some future predictions for fun. That's grand, but they retain access to your data even after you stop using them. Here's how to review
First go to your drop down menu & click Settings. Then click Apps. Review these carefully. For e.g. I use Kickstarter and 9gag frequently so those are grand, but see the ones like Klout and Giveaway widget? I'll want to remove permissions for those, even if only I can see posts.

Thread -> In publicity for his new book on depression, Johann Hari has repeatedly made the following claim: "between 65 and 80% of people on antidepressants are depressed again within a year". He says it in this extract: theguardian.com/society/2018/j…
Here he is saying it in a video, right at the start:
Disgracefully, no source is given for this alarming claim. Maybe there's one in his book, which comes out tomorrow. In the meantime, I took a quick look at the recent(ish) meta-analyses of research on relapse rates after/during antidepressant use.
