Honestly think £50 for a ticket to Cambridge on the day isn’t bad.

A months gap between the 2 legs is excessive like.

Written in the stars for us now. Spurs have knocked out Man City, and Man Utd, they’ll knock out Liverpool, get us who should be the most winnable final they could have, and Spurs it up.

See how long that took. Why take so fucking long to do it? Fucking cunts.

Fuck same man, how many adverts do they want to put on?

Sick of Sky doing this. Just do a fucking draw tree from the 1st round. First game is going to be ready to KO by the time the draw is made.

We play Spurs the weekend before the 1st leg. Draws have a funny habit of repeating league fixtures next to it’s schedule.

Spurs would be our most realistic chance of getting to the final. I think whoever we get, we will be 2nd favourites. I don’t think we could beat Liverpool, or Arsenal over 2 legs.

Fuck sake. Why do they have to wait so long. I honestly wish they would just do a big draw tree instead.

No chance you give it to him. Was a header by the Spurs player to his own goal.

It’s an own goal.

Super Man Utd fan Ratcliffe has a season ticket at Chelsea (desire living in Monaco and having access to a private jet), and sponsors Spurs through INEOS.

Not having a foul for that like.

It is, their full motto is actually ‘Audere est facere est invenire viam perdere‘.

If Spurs lose this, is it the end for Ange?

Crowd has gone now as well.

If you are being told that in 10 years time, a month long event hosted half way around the world won’t have alcohol being served, and you think that’s a problem, then I’d say alcohol has some sort of hold over your life. Again though, I’m not advocating for a complete ban on alcohol in the U.K., all I’m saying is that we need to start looking at it and see how alcohol centric everything is. Even by western nations we are bad. In the majority of Canada, you can’t buy alcohol to take home without going to a government ran store, which has much tighter opening times than off licenses here in the majority of the U.K. Thats a country that has legalised marijuana in recent years. In the USA you can’t buy alcohol until you are 21, 3 years after you can vote, join the military, and buy a gun. In many parts you can’t go into a supermarket and buy alcohol. Australia has a coffee/café culture similar to our pub drinking culture. Alcohol consumption is on the decrease, and win has overtaken both beer, and spirits as the most consumed alcohol. Like Canada, you usually have to go to a government ran off licence to buy your alcohol if you want to take it home with you.

They absolutely do though, it’s called being a fully functioning alcoholic. I’m not saying that it should be banned though, I’m saying our relationship with it, particularly in the U.K. should be looked at. Hosting a World Cup in a nation that doesn’t allow alcohol shouldn't be the controversy it’s being made out to be.

We aren’t getting Cherki, everyone is after him. My guess is PSG will snap him up.

We got what we paid for. £20m was at best an average fee for a Premier League player at the time. He doesn’t have an end product, but if he did he would have cost more, or certainly have been sold on for much more once he was proven in the Premier League.

Man City are owned by Abu Dhabi, PSG are owned by Qatar.

The points made isn’t about liberty though. It’s all about how we live in a society where not drinking is frowned upon. My fiancée has had issues with alcohol in the past, so now she avoids it. Without actually fucking telling people about it, everyone pressures her to drink. Go to my dads where I have said she’s had issues without saying what they were, and they always offer her alcohol, even behind my back thinking it’s me disapproving of it because I’m not a drinker. Go to her foster mams who is incredibly left wing, has fostered children, dealt with mental health issues and fought for mental health issue related rights/help/access, and she’s always offering her drink and trying to get her drink. Go with her bosses at work who run a children’s mental health charity, and they are offering her drink. Without explicitly going into details of her issues, and just saying she has an issue with it and is avoiding alcohol, everyone still pressures. Go for a meal, go visit someone, it’s always about alcohol. We are going to the Christmas market tomorrow, and half the stalls will be selling craft beer, others will be selling Prosecco, and others mulled wine or Baileys. Name an activity people can do casually where alcohol isn’t a major part of it. Aside from McDonalds, anywhere you sit down to have a meal there is alcohol on the go. Go to football and people want you to go for pre-drinks, have a drink when you get in the stadium, and at half time, then have drinks afterwards. Coffee shops are closed after work hours, and those that aren’t are selling alcohol now. It’s everywhere, and unless you don’t drink, then you don’t understand how much it is the focus of any kind of social culture we have. I don’t have an issue with alcohol, I’m just not a drinker, I don’t enjoy large amounts of it, and I can take it or leave it. Seeing how it affects my lass means we have to avoid it, and it turns you into a social pariah. Fuck knows how people who have had bigger issues with alcohol function. Honestly it’s about time someone turned around and said ‘Hold on, this is out of hand now’. The very fact people are getting pissed about not being able to drink at a World Cup in 10 years time is telling.

This. It’s just overboard now, any occasion and alcohol has to be the centre of it.

I don’t understand why people expected any different. It’s not part of their culture, and against their laws. It’s a bit like the people who go to Dubai and get arrested for being drunk and disorderly, or for being half naked sunbathing. This is what it comes down to for most people though. All the talk about human rights abuses, and such. It’s only an issue because they own us and the clubs other fans support have a challenger, and the issue for fans attending the World Cup is that they can’t get fucked on Carling. I wouldn’t be surprised if we have an article of someone going to the World Cup, and being stoped in customs trying to bring Coke in, and facing the death penalty.

Good news as it will likely end the repeated breaches of PSR, however he’s not exactly done well with Roma, so I don't really expect them to be challenging anyone anytime soon. It’s another American owner though, so you know, a step closer to the locked Premier League with added PLAY OFFS!
