Personally, I don't like that there is a group of clubs with tiny support that are successful mostly due to being located in places that are desirable for players to live, which have pushed out well supported northern clubs. I don't think they're actually plucky underdogs.

Torn between watching the parade from Haymarket/Civic Centre area or around the Great North Road up by the moor. Thinking that everywhere will be packed but there's a bit more space around Haymarket. Any early indications where's best?

It's not green belt. That and some other dodgy terminology indicates he doesn't have a clue what he is talking about from a planning perspective.

Maybe it could have been seen as counting chickens and tempting fate, but it really should have all been planned for beforehand.

The club itself is actually a freeman, maybe a herd could be a potential PSR income stream?

They obviously thought that £0.5m would tip the balance

Isak rejects Newcastle scarf at 5:20. Worrying.

It really looks like they missed out and we dodged a bullet on both of them.

It could be said that if Mike Ashley didn't come in we don't have the club we have today. Ashley is rightly judged by what he did over his entire ownership. John Hall's ownership also included letting Keegan be forced out by bankers, paying his family out tens of millions in dividends when the club went backwards and finally lining his pockets with the sale to Ashley.

Yeah, me too, I've been dreaming about what the open top bus parade with us winning a trophy would be like since 1998, but I can also see why it might be a public safety nightmare.

I think a lot of Guardian readers genuinely will, and I think David Squires genuinely does. I think it's a bit tired and overdone by him, and so a less effective message, but I think it is coming from a genuine place. The Farage and Robinson loving, human rights act abolition and bring back the death penalty supporting mackems on the other hand...

My eyes are literally sore from crying so much over the past 3 days, everything sets me off thinking about all of those years and crushing falling at the last hurdles, the people who never got to see us win anything, and there I go again!

I used the free trial of keepstreams to download it to keep FOREVER!

Big game player, he was magnificent today!

Past a certain point I doubt capacity makes 'that' much difference to build time. The rebuild element of Spurs' stadium will have made it more complicated and would have almost certainly extended the build time. Progress in technology is likely to have reduced the time is takes to build over the past 20 years.

Wouldn't a more useful measure be stadiums bult in this country rather than the searing heat of Qatar? Everton's stadium has taken 4 years, with the first year being preparing and filling the dock, so actually more like 3 years. Spurs' stadium took 3 years. The Emirates took 2 years. 2-3 years from breaking ground seems realistic.

And we also know from the Man City tribunal that the PL required the Sela deal to be reduced before they accepted it.

Although, notably the most positive article Edwards has ever written / fabricated.

The club is liable for the debt, including the debt from them buying the club, as far as I understand... That's capitalism.

It wouldn't have necessarily been about reputational damage, she literally couldn't afford to keep her stake, that's the most obvious reason why she left.

Her impending bankruptcy was a more obvious reason.

Aside from the 1st half against Forest our performances have been awful since the second semi, irrespective of injuries.

I'm not so sure. There were interviews with players that have suggested our poor early performances have been at least partially down to the players' mindset. Players have talked about how they'd had it out, that their attitude hadn't been right, and that led to our run of good form. It's seeming like they've slipped back into that malaise. Also, Burn and Trippier said in their interview after the second semi that their heads hadn't been right in the run-up to the final last time, that they had got distracted by everything around the final. It seems like that might be happening again.

Unless it's the CL the additional revenue probably only just covers the additional cost of bonus for European qualification. Even then, we didn't actually make that much from the CL because it's fixed to pay out more to the regular CL qualifiers.
