About my favourite chant. Dunno why? Maybe the randomness of it.

Sell him this summer and you probably get somewhere in the region of £50m, give or take. Next summer it’s half that. If you think he’s worth £25m to you this season then you keep him. If you think you could use that £50m to bring in someone that’ll improve you for the next 4-5 years, you’ll probably sell him. Two years left on a contract is always tricky.

But the question is still are you willing to drop ~£25m on Maddison not signing a new contract? (obviously it’s total conjecture at this point whether he will or won’t, could just be his agent prepping for negotiations)

If true, the fact that he’s allegedly keen and only has two years on his contract definitely works in our favour. Doesn’t sign a new contract and they get substantially less than £40m next year or nothing in two years. And sounds like that isn’t really a viable option for them in their current financial situation.

I think one of the biggest problems you’ll have in getting people to bring their own flags is the potential hassle they’ll get when leaving the ground. We’ve all seen the social media photos and vids of people walking out with flags, which have obviously been helpful on the whole, as it’s mainly been folk taking your flags. I don’t really know how you get round that tbh. Guess you just hope that the natural evolution of things is that fewer and fewer people take your flags ??‍♂️

Think ‘tricky’ might be an understatement…

He’s got 24 goals in 53 for Germany. I know you play the occasional pub team in qualifying, but you don’t have that kind of record in international football if all you can do is run fast.

Yeah, I’d agree with what @LFEE said. You should be able to get a parking spot in town, especially with it being a Sunday. I don’t take the car in often now, but if I did I’d probably go for Railway St by the Arena. About a 20 min walk to the ground but free and usually quick enough to get away.

Look at what we’ve been quoted for various attacking players. We’d have to really, really want rid to let him to go for that kind of price.

I suspect you’d need to double that…

Got to be massive question marks over his temperament after the way he chucked the towel in after Watford fucked him over with the AFCON. Yes, he had every right to be pissed off, but his performances fell off a cliff as soon as it happened.

You do realise Lejeune will be playing in the Spanish second division with the team that finished bottom of La Liga? There’s definitely an argument to say Bruce was culpable in him picking up the second knee injury, but ever since then his time as a PL player was long gone.

On sale dates for the first four home games now released. Details in Tickets forum.

Is it one stream per membership, and can ST holders get an additional stream?

Hope said there’s a scheduled sit down with the media tomorrow. Don’t think he specified who exactly, but assumed he meant Howe.

They’re going to have to considering they’ve lost their two best (by some distance) players.

Is he not a Muslim?

And actually the consequences of a member doing that as opposed to a ST holder, are less, as they risk losing a £40 membership as opposed to a £600+ ST.

Him having scored 11 goals for us feels like a surprisingly high number

Then you’re living out the narrative about our fans having ‘unrealistic expectations’

No, it’s not on about a swap deal - tweet should say *interest not *interested

Looking at what’s been made available today, I’d guess the general sale numbers are far less. However, agree they could have done a far better job of communicating how this was all going to work.

Nah, members sale covers that rule. Hence we had the odd game that didn’t go to general sale last year.

Totally understand his point. However, they’ve probably decided to hold a small number back for general sale to try be more inclusive and give people that are maybe only back in the region for a short period or something, the chance to buy. As with everything when it comes to ticketing though, there never seems to be a ‘right’ way to do anything.
