He's a twat. Takes banter about getting things wrong on the chin though, such as Howe and the takeover actually happening so fair play for that. But he's still a twat.

People chucked it for various reasons, hence why the 'give the STs to those who walked away back' isn't a valid route. People chucked out of sheer protest of Ashley, Benitez leaving, Keegan leaving, Hughton getting sacked, after 2013-14 and some were just bored of it all. I chucked mine for a multitude of reasons; the club put the prices up and I longer could qualify as a 'junior' for my seat ( ) because I turned 18 midway through 2018-19. So my ticket went from being around £100-£200 to £811. I moved to uni as well in September 2019 so logistically and cost-wise keeping my ST just didn't make sense. On top of that, Benitez left, there was no takeover and Bruce took over so there was extra incentive to chuck it.

Touts is my only worry with general sale tbf. Only way they could police that is if those touting STs are reported by fans and that ticket/account is rendered invalid and that seat goes to game by game sale as well as banning the tout. That would work but they'd have to delve into every ST holder and member and find prioritisation that way, be a very complex and drawn out basis. Would work for me, like. Match going, Ashley enabling scum™.

They knocked new memberships on the head in February so that's a tad unfair. In addition (I'll just tell you my situation), I've been to every game post takeover this season bar Spurs, Norwich, Everton and Wolves and I've been buying my old ST seat which I had, next to me dad, from 2016-2019. I've been getting singles through my dad's account as he's a ST holder which also comes with first dibs on tickets. This is to save a tad more money, I'm a student so am a penny pinching cunt by nature and I've had to pay for train travel back to town from Derby every other week on top of the cost of the ticket and beer/food money. Doing it membership only rules me out as I was using my dad's so that is completely unfair from my POV. General sale/first come first serve gets rid of all of these asterisks, favourability and prioritisation.
-
That wouldn't work. Never happened in the past and doesn't happen at any other club. First come first served is the fairest method and lacks any loose ends.

2019-20 was bigger, 39 places; 13th v 52nd.

Looks like he's been dipped in a FEV vat from Fallout, skin faalin' off his skull. Abhorrent bloke. Also see he's been deleting tweets from January when he mocked the signing of Wood and Howe's record. Absolute bell end that he is. I muted him ages ago but his AIDS-inducing patter winds up on here all the time.
-
100% penalty conversion rate for us so far.
-
Got 41 points post Christmas in 1993-94, though that was a 42 game season.
-
He is quality, like. Great striker but just can't ever stay fit.
-
Absolutely brilliant job that he's done and deserves all the plaudits that come his way. Push for the top 7/European places next season, I'm sure.

In case some haven't seen it, I made this playlist of all of our games with other bits of news in. Season review lite. Absolutely mental season and great that I've been able to share all those highs and lows with this place. Howay the lads. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKTgmPJceX_Hloe_3k7YTB7cluUXWB75i

Player of the Season: Joelinton Most Improved Player of the Season: Joelinton Most Disappointing Player: Probably harsh but Chris Wood Signing of the Season: Bruno Goal of the Season (feel free to rank your top 3): Bruno v Southampton Game of the Season: Tough one, Leeds (a) was the turning point but Everton (h) and Arsenal (h) were brilliant. Probably Arsenal. On the pitch Moment of the Season (we all know the takeover was the off-field most important): Either Trippier free kick v Everton or Bruno last minute winner v Leicester Manager rating out of 10: Howe 9.9/10. Bruce 0/10. Season rating out of 10: 9/10. Some depressing lows but unbelievably good highs that out weigh the lows. A truly bonkers, at times depressing, fantastic season.
-
We were really good up to their goal, played much the better football and clearly were the better side. Should probably have scored 3 or 4; Almiron not squaring the ball, Maxi missing his 1v1, Bruno slipping over at the last. We dealt with the onslaught really well and the bottom line is that under Howe we're a good side. Bruno had a bit of an off day but would pop up with a great pass or tackle to relieve pressure in the second half. Ah well. Great way to end a truly mental, great season. Up the fucking mags.
-
Doubt it. 4-3-3 or variations of it is what the top sides play now, and we saw against Arsenal a glimpse of how he wants us to play next season and that was in the 4-3-3.
-
No problem. Will stick the game today in it later on. And I doubt it, they haven't released a season review since 2011-12 I think?
-
Aye, doubt it's us. Which is a huge shame, in need of a no. 6.
-
We'll be lightyears ahead of them in 2-3 years, if we aren't already. Can't see them ever getting close to us again, if we ever play them in a derby in the future it'll be like the Merseyside derby post-Klopp both in terms of dominance in the difference in league position but also in the actual games. We'll be having like ~75% possession and shit.
-
Would be happy with that. His link up play is superb alongside his goals. Brentford would demand a high fee though.
-
Can't see us not winning tbh. Think it'll be either a tight 1-2 or we'll dish out a pasting, say a 0-3 or 1-4.
-
Gap between League One and the Championship is the biggest one in the pyramid imo. National League, League Two and League One are very similar in quality but in the Championship you've got clubs with PL level talent and clubs with big parachute payments coming down whereas the clubs coming up from League One have minimal income and quality by comparison. Be a big step up for them. They have to recruit well or they'll struggle to stay in the league.

Milan game is on BT Sport ESPN and the Inter game is on BT Sport Extra 1.
-
If Leeds go down its a shame imo, aye quite a few of their fans are whoppers but games against Leeds are far more of an occasion than games against Fulham or Bournemouth which we have coming up. But Leeds have some players I'd certainly take and relegation for them would making getting them much easier.
