Got told by a friend who works in the industry that the UK section is being heavily subsidised by the US success and they have less than 5,000 subscribers who have been so since they first launched over here. |  | |  |

Seems unlikely to be quite that low but international subscribers are heavily driven by the EPL coverage too in any case. |  | |  |

Anyone with an Athletic subscription on 11:41 - May 28 with 1687 views | enfieldargh | Great read. Interesting to hear from others aside from Clint & Shaun. Just a brief summary and not giving much away Nedhams part very in depth and as those who have listened to his podcast will know how deep this guy thinks and is able to explain complex feelings & emotions so eruditely. Anton Ferdinand comes across well, wanst my cup o' tea but seems he did care(maybe more about Rio than QPR) Jay Bothroyd says that Mark Bowens instruction was to lob the ball as far to the corner as possible whilst Derry is thinking wht the hell arent we trying to hold onto the ball? Re Joey Barton it seems he was well liked. Bobby Zamora telling him to take another City player with him prior to being shown the Red Card. Good insight from Jamie Mackie especially at the end. Also he roomed with Barton and said he was 'very tight with him' |  |

Good summary, Enfield, just to add rather than contradict Barton was definitely liked by some, even though I still don't get it. Barton was not liked at all by Nedum, though. Different type of people, he says, and Barton gets slated here by Nedum and Ferdinand for getting sent off. More talk of cliques in the dressing room, as we already knew. It must have been completely dysfunctional! Zamorra's paragraph on the "take someone with you" comments are weirdly funny, in retrospect. "Joey’s interpretation of that was slightly different from mine! We do laugh about it now. Joey says, ‘I can’t believe you told me to do that!’. I’m like, ‘No, mate. My words were take someone with you!’. I say to him, ‘It cost you a few quid in fines but it got you a bloody move to Marseille’. He lived in the south of France for a good few years, so he doesn’t complain too much. But at the time, we were all thinking, ‘Ten men. Shit – what are we going to do now?’." |  |
