This is also very true But then this would be priceless admittedly

They’ll have learnt their lesson from the cup debacle. They wouldn’t entertain allowing us to use their ground now. And rightly so.

Of course I’m not saying it would in any way be acceptable, but it would still happen regardless. Putting aside the vandalism issue. If the boot was on the other foot, would you want to help them out? I certainly wouldn’t. Imagine having to see your biggest rivals celebrate some potentially famous wins in your ground. Fuck that ?

Yes, massively. Those stadiums are genuinely shared, and belong to each team. The SoL would not belong to us and people would have absolutely zero respect for it.

He rarely plays as a DMC nowadays tbh.

It’s completely unworkable. Imagine the work that would have to get done covering and uncovering pro-safc signage every week, just to stop vandalism and defacement, which would probably happen every week regardless.

To be honest you could probably get away without transferring most weeks, it’s just a risk. Also that 10 transfers rule, isn’t actually hard and fast I don’t think. I think if you do more than ten they might contact you to ask what’s going on. If you’re always transferring to the same person it looks much less dodgy than if you’re transferring to a different person every time.

Does your mam never use it? If not that’s potentially a problem, as although you can transfer to an adult for any game, if you do it every week it’ll probably flag something up and they’ll eventually ask questions.

No one, on either side, would think that a sensible idea.

Literally everything that is deemed vaguely positive for us is now met with ‘Saudi corruption marra’. The ultimate coping mechanism.

Had us to beat Man City in the League Cup. Knows his stuff…

It’s seems a bit paradoxical that we’re saying that same website was unquestionably 100% accurate with his wages at Villa, but 100% inaccurate with his wages here….

It’s generally a lot easier to get a player from another league on lower wages, as they will only be something low to start with. So what would Joe have been on at Hoffenheim? 10/15k maybe? Offer to treble his wages and you’ve got him for 40/50k. Even a youngster in the PL like Gordon, probably wasn’t on too much at Everton, so you can double/treble his money without going particularly high. Once you’re going for established PL players like Targett, who’ve already had a move between PL clubs, and if they’re asking for double what they’re on, it becomes a lot more expensive.

I can see it. Although it’s probably a pointless debate to get too far into, as there’s no way of actually knowing.

It’s really not that difficult to believe given he’s had two eight-figure transfers between PL clubs (who generally pay the highest wages).

With the exception of Wilson, which I agree looks low given he signed a new deal whilst here, presumably on improved terms, which of those in particular seem inaccurate to you?

Wouldn’t say anything like the majority think that. People understandably more to see Tino getting more minutes somehow. But I suspect very few think he’s currently a better RB than Trippier.

This is what Capology reckon. Apparently the green tick means it’s been ‘verified’ (no idea how): *I’m not claiming this is 100% accurate btw. Certainly appears to have Wilson far too low.

John Barnes ahead of Waddle?

It isn’t really the PL’s decision. All depends on whether the local SAG decide whether any structural changes that get made subsequently make it ‘safe’ for away fans to located lower down.

Yeah, I don’t think they would increase ST numbers, even at 65k. Ballot success rates should be a fair bit higher though…

Yes, but it’s been like that all season. OK, it’s probably got a bit more obvious recently, well ever since the fiasco against us, and basically just sacking the season off from that point onwards. Clearly midweek is understandable to a degree, but why would there be so many missing on a Saturday in October?

His whinging made even more stupid by the fact that the BBC’s main football presenter, and highest paid employee, is a 63 year old white male.

Tbf, all major clubs count ‘attendance’ like that nowadays. We most probably do. The difference is most major clubs don’t give thousands and thousands of tickets away that don’t end up getting used. The most obvious example was when Man Utd v Bournemouth got called off on the last day of 16/17. When they did play a few days later, the attendance was still announced as 74k despite the stadium being half empty.
