Take from today's Popbitch: >> In The Red << A new seat filling service News has started to leak out of Man United that they’re considering setting up a debenture scheme for season ticket holders. That means that on top of paying for your seat for the season you have to pay a fee just to be allowed to buy it. The Telegraph has a good story today on the subject - which indicates this debenture fee would be around £4k. Club whispers, though, suggest this is the lowest fee that would be levied. It could actually be more like 20-30 times the seat price. Which means that those in the best seats could be looking at an added reservation fee approaching six figures.

He was just quite far up the list for cheap defenders with a high teams-selected by percentage so guessed proper Fantasy Scout bores had spotted something like that about him. Reijnders is tempting me at 5.5 in midfield, but evben the best City players are subject to Pep Roulette and it's entirely possible he'll spend the season on the bench.

Rework. Apparently Thomas Frank seems to rate Kinksy so might be a starting 4.0 goalkeeper.

I'll curse a few of them by putting them in my fantasy team, you're welcome.

Ah, good shout. I'll always remember him for getting an assist in each half to win me 250 quid off a one quid bet.

Is "tapping up" still a thing or can you just unsettle a player all you like nowadays? Haven't even heard the phrase forever and yet it certainly still seems to go on.

Getting less and less invested in this every season but I've been running the work league for over a decade so feel like I need to keep it up and try and avoid last year's humiliation of being near the bottom of my own bloody league. Quick pick, feel free to point out anyone I've put in who won't play or who has an impending jail term. God, the desktop interface this year is AWFUL.

@_pauljoyce is. @pauljoyce, who is tagged, is the Irish Canadian director of "Kids Health Link" It seems the guy tags an abandoned account with a similar name to reputable sources so the real person doesn't see the mention and come in and spoil the fun, hence tagging @SkyGermany instead of the real account @SkySportDE in the Isak tweet

Not really, he seems to be a nobody from Canada who has posted nothing about football, and indeed hasn't used his twitter acccount since 2022. The "source" for this one is a dead account from 15 years ago And the other "stories" seem to be just low-effort made up rubbish

Hmm, I'd like a better source than a month-old Liverpool meme account

Nice. Looks canny!

Bought this just cos of how weird it was. Does it bear any resemblance to any official training wear/limited edition Asian Tour merch or anything, or is it just the fever dream of a Chinese sweatshop worker?

"Why the fuck is the guy from Home Alone 2 here?"

Reece james is 5'11" and Trump claims to be 6'3".

Lewsing to the Heed. Aaron Trialist with the goal.

Got one of these after seeing I think @Disco mentioning it and have had the odd compliment. Spotted someone else wearing it for the first time at the Hippy Green in town today 👀

Ela, la, la, langa Ela, la, la, la lang, lang-lang, lan-ga

Tin hat on - off to see Hamilton at Sunderland Empire, any suggestions for places to eat or drink nearby?

Was the intention of FFP to encourage clubs to flog off their women's teams? I don't know what their exact aims were but pretty sure it wasn't what's been happening.

Arsenal couldn't suspend him, he wasn't found guilty of any crimess yet! Meanwhile...
