Totally didn’t know this started this weekend, but I’ll try to catch some games. Trying to give my marriage a break from the constant football so I can make it to the start of the PL with some credit

The queue told me 10 minutes but it let me in less than a minute.

Nice to see the website is still as awful as it was Tried to buy a membership, got restricted access block. Then tried to log in, said there was an error but I actually was logged in. Back in the lovely familiar queue now.

Everyone needs their own membership sadly, and groups of 2 I guess are much harder. I've only ever managed one success when looking for 2. Going to the match is a solo thing now. It's worth a try though, you might get lucky.

I get the restricted access error now, can't log in.

Doesn’t seem to be any real reason to get plus. All I have it for is access to tickets.

I wanted Ashley’s Newcastle to lose most of the time.

I think if we sell that RW slot as a transformational signing to go with the likes of Bruno, Isak, Gordon and Tonali we would have a chance. Not we would necessarily get him, but it's possible.

Bellingham is the issue, Southgate isn't going to have the bravery to play him further back so that Foden can play in the middle. Both good options obvs, but since we don't have a brilliant second DM I would play Bellingham alongside Rice.

Some people just want to see the world burn.

Dia dos namorados - yes I have to celebrate two valentines days now.

Got a Joelinton shirt from the wife for Brazilian Valentine’s Day - it’s really nice TBF.

Surely you have to heckle or assault Bruce if you see him? Like you have to murder Mike Ashley.

I don’t know when this starts or when England play, but once it does I’ll be in.

I’m sure I told someone they could’ve had half an adidas top for what they would spend. Tut tut.

It kicks off about every 36 hours

How about Fabian Hurzeler then lads?

One tweet from a random bloke results in three pages of worry. It’s odd.

I wish I could make a living tweeting what I've been told about someone else's rumours. Easy money.

Some nice cafes around there, sound choice.

Fair enough, I know business stuff can be way more complicated than it needs to be.

Yeah, fair point. I guess the practical answer is that away tickets are more rare and it's easier to do the checks. Since there's not concept of loyalty for home fans their doesn't seem to be so much reason to restrict where the ticket ends up (is one view).

That’s the ultimate problem really. The only way to stop touting and passing on tickets is to check ID. IIRC at Man City they had a QR code that was dynamic and changed every few minutes on the app. But I think I still got a ticket by buying a membership (although obvs not a fan). There’s not really an incentive for the club to look into this IMO, since there’s no money to be made and it would cause lots of side issues.

Don't clubs just talk and agree a price? I really don't get this bid then reject thing, are we talking in the course of one conversation?

2 for applying 3 for attending maybe, luck is really the only difference.
