All Activity

I currently have a membership for myself but have another adult and junior account linked to mine as family. Am I right in thinking if I bought memberships for those 2 accounts also, each game I could apply for 1 adult and 1 adult and child as two separate application/chances of being lucky, or can I only apply once for either 1, 2 or 3 tickets together?

Were there not comments from Eales last summer that Eddie just needs to focus on "his job on the grass" or similar? Certainly seemed as if Eales was making a power play last summer, prior to his diagnosis understandably changing his focus.

Disagree, Londons better than any place in the UK if you’re poor. So many free attractions (British museum, science museum, Natural history museum ,Tate modern /Tate Britain, The Welcome Collection, and public spaces like the National theatre, The Southbank centre and British Library reading rooms) so you might not have much in the bank but you don’t need to be bored. Countryside and seaside within 60-90 minutes depending where in London you are. Most London boroughs give those on low incomes free/low fee gym and swim membership at their leisure centres. Also it has more opportunities for education, training and job opportunities to pull yourself up.

The most annoying was that their debt was cleared in the force sale

6th highest average attendance in England across history. About 800 behind us, but ahead of Villa and Everton et al, according to a random website*. *Can't be bothered to look properly but that conforms with my understanding for the past 20 years.

Marseille are the most popular team in France in terms of support. If you didn’t support your local team, you supported OM, they were France’s version of Man Utd, or Bayern Munich. They had won the joint most amount of titles, along with St Etienne, although OM had won the Champions League. Monaco were the 3rd most successful side in France, and had recently had their own big money takeover. Lyon had just came off the back of winning 7 league titles in a row and competed well in Europe. Nantes were another club who were more successful than PSG before their takeover. In their final full season before their takeover, PSG’s average attendances didn’t even break 40k. In fact they only broke an average attendance of over 40k 6 times prior to their takeover. A low attendance when you could argue that they had the whole population of Paris to themselves considering Paris FC and Racing Club de France languished in the lower leagues and in and out of professional status.

Nkunku was a PSG reject before Leipzig where he got Bundesliga player of the season. So he's already resurrected his career once. I see potential value there, especially with the crazy valuations we keep hearing for other players. He's versatile and that's something we could certainly do with. All depends on whether Eddie likes him though.

Chelsea are of course a decent proposition for any player. They can pay big wages and win trophies on a regular basis. The annoyance is that their PSR headroom, which is already miles above the likes of Newcastle due to pre-PSR investment by a Russian oligarch, is artificially inflated by the sale of hotels and women's football teams to sister companies.

Airports still an advantage I’d imagine. That and a ever so slightly warmer climate.

Isn’t the London thing outdated from a time when footballers went out on the town and into nightclubs. Most players are teetotal and committed to their fitness and health nowadays, where London has no advantage whatsoever. Unless he’s just really into theatre?

O'Reilly is a really good player, if he falls down the pecking order fldue to all the midfielders they have, then we should be all over trying to lure him away

Man city not looking the best, I still say Pep should have left after he won the Champions league.

I'd be surprised if Joao Pedro didn't already live in London or nearby anyway tbh, it's hardly far.

Aye it's not great news and we do have a track record of moving early. The last 3 were all considered coups and have proved important to us in different ways. It's not the end of the world and we can still do great business in the window. But it hasn't been a good start and there's obvious disruption upstairs.

I was going to say, the area Chelsea is in is really nice if not expensive (not a problem for footballers obviously) Unlike say where Spurs is located, which actually is a shithole

Can Chelsea just get their signings over and done with so the rest of the league can buy players without them reading about it on Twitter and putting a bid in too?

Guessing an owners and trainers badge

Fair

Lovely suit Harvey has on but what's the tag hanging from his button?

Other than that though...

Aye, Benwell.

Yep, it’s horrific looking back. Great documentary though.

They bought PSG due to the WC bid - Nicholas Sarkozy is a fan of the club and wanted them to buy it, and Platini had a key vote on the 2022 WC bid, along with the Al-Thani ties with France. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jun/18/sarkozy-psg-bein-sports-questions-michel-platini-qatar-2022-world-cup

Fuck me, that's an uncomfortable watch. Don't remember it like that at all. 😬

Chelsea is high end London as well. It might not have a historically huge supporter base, but you can imagine it would be a top attraction for foreign players wanting to be in London.
