Not a chance these are better than they were in the 90s.

That's how it was under Ashley. Anyone good would be sold. Anyone shit could get a testimonial. The key to the illusion is probably young players and reinvestment. The same risks, anybody good will be sold, hung over during Ossie Ardiles reign but because they were young players it didn't seem so sterile and cold plus there was some expectancy it would be reinvested in the club not disappear into some fat c*nts portfolio of scams businesses

Good intel. For further context it was £26 in 97 (literally PSV was the stub I found) and £32 in 02 where I sat. It was the perspective of having to pay for them all at the same time that brought it home. Hull (bottom of the 4th division) in the league-cup was more expensive than Barcelona in the CL a month earlier.

Three Euro finals, one Euro win and a world cup win since the PL became the richest in the world - but Italian players not good enough for England.

£20 in the mid 90s for Bristol City and Oldham might justify the CL pricing in 2023. I dont see it as a disgrace as much as that's just the way it is as it pre-dated me. Think the problem is mostly it all mounting up. Like a financial version of players tiring after Europe and two cup runs. Individually its probably not that far off for what's being sold - number one league in the world and the biggest competition in club football. For all I far preferred the 90s

Don't care for her attitude there to be honest. Three CL tickets in my seat was a weeks wage in 02/03, factor in travel to Turin and Barcelona was the best part of a months wage. Its hardly a disgrace. Its always been that way. So someone else can go instead. Think that's quite good actually. Keegan used to like it when people didn't take up their option for cup tickets and it allowed people who couldn't get in to go, take the kids and stuff. Cant argue with that bloke.

The major reason big Italian players dont often leave their league is because they've never had to. Serie A was the biggest league in the world until the 2000s and their top clubs can pay really well even in todays climate. Its not a homesick, culture thing. Not many English players have gone overseas for the same reason.

Eranio and Baiano from Milan and Florence to Derby Ravanelli, Festa and Branca from Turin and Milan to Middlesbrough Santon from Milan to Ashley ran NUFC Sereni from Genoa to Ipswich Silenzi from Turin to Nottingham Di Canio managed Sunderland ffs There's no way a club in the champions league with a boat-load of money can compete with that. Cant believe there are people that still don't think money is by far the most important factor and always has been when players have been coming to English footbal and every rinkydink club and town you can think of for decades.

Nice difficult start there. Can see the glisten from the knives in the media and on here already

I can easily imagine there's nothing in it. The scenario where Inter are needing to sell (apparently) and that being the sort of thing our team will be all over I can quite imagine. I don't think Edwards is good enough to have factored that in and has just stumbled across something. Given his past slagging off of Amanda I cant see how he'd have any legit intel.

Man United in 94/95 and Boro 89/90 (to the ground) and mackems away 96/97 (arena) were shown live. Platinum club beambacks too showed live away matches. This sounds like an extension of that. The place was drunk dry for a match at Bolton. That plus the price of tickets, probably made a fair wedge for them. Wonder if something has changed with the rights. *just sifted through my ticket stubs - Sheffield Wednesday in March 94 was £10 a ticket

Think he's always been a former human. Been at least removed from the human condition since we've known the cunt

Miserly there's nothing in Wigan for him. Just a question of whether his being a vindictive cunt overrides that.

Our doing business with their football friends Feyenoord probably sticks in the throat a bit. What next? Having an actual relationship with Athletic Bilbao or something!?> *they can keep Everton

Spares us the Scott Minteh puns

Our set-play taking hasn't been the best either. WImbledon was more chaos theory though than Arsenal's near-post flick on to the attacking planks routine, we can manage that.

Seems right up our street. I quite believe it. Gonna swerve everyone at some point and go all Wimbledon get it in the mixer style with our giant team

Thing is though, this will be maintained. So if we fall out one year its not like we'll miss a generation or may even never get back, we'll be back competing for it indefinitely. Building all the while.

Two additions per se and then upgrades on any additional out-goings I hope is more like where we'd be heading.

The 3-3 with Man City was better than both

Biggest club he's been associated with

Never even disliked Man City let alone hated them. I despise and always did Liverpool, Man United, Spurs and Chelsea. Arsenal not as a bad. I think this helped when the takeover happened compared to Chelsea. Man CIty's fans deserved it Chelsea's didn't and as I've discovered recently, predictable though it is, I'd take that over any of those other c*nts and a few besides.

That is true. You could count on one hand the Man United players I didn't despise in the 90s and one of those turned out to have been a massive cunt all along too

Was looking at the Fender stuff on twitter linked on here and saw his name was trending. Not on twitter so couldn't follow up and had a nice few hours hoping it was something to do with jail or at least chronic gout

Didn't somebody think they'd been established in 2023 when it was copyright 2023?
