I watched a bit of the Burnley one, and are they not, all of these things, just exactly the same. Lingering shots of city, kids on an unkempt field wearing replica shirts and playing an unconvincing game of Three and in. Grey streets and moody acoustic soundtrack. A pub and its weathered, seen it all landlord. A fan in their fifties in their kitchen in front of frosted mirror bought in the club shop filling in the exposition. Behind the scenes bits one bit candid to three bits staged.

Think she was phoning Everton wasn’t she?

Not sure how it works, but presumably they do a thing with all the players and use according to narrative? So if Longstaff had not scored those goals in the cup we maybe would have seen a different player meet school kids or whatever?

Not sure if you’re talking to me, but to bring up Amnesty International and then dismiss their concerns as ‘rubbish’ is poor. Like I say, if it’s going to be this glossy feel good thing then fine, but I would prefer they didn’t mention the issue at all in that case.

Address it properly and explain why it’s rubbish.

Either address the links to the Saudi government properly or don’t mention them at all. Bringing it up just to dismiss it as ‘rubbish’ is insulting.

People were moaning about the atmosphere twenty years ago as well.

St James’ is lush. If it wasn’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating it.

Ugh.

What indication has there been that our owners have any interest in spending the astronomical amount of money a new stadium would cost? As far as I know, the only time they’ve mentioned it at all is to talk about how they never want to leave SJP

Sounds like a particularly grim night in their otherwise storied history

Adam P

‘Even when we were certain to be relegated (alongside being the richest club in the world)…’

Why did he buy it specifically then? The takeover was looking way more promising at other points before summer 2021

Actually, mate, just re-read and you’re right. Didn’t register that thing about the relative amounts of ballot entries

Right, but you get the point. In this fictional scenario, it’s just as likely there’s somebody who’s being going for years who can’t get online at the time the tickets go on sale, and in that case they’re the ones that lose out to the gloryhunter selfie person

What about if Bobby Dazzler works a job where it is impossible to get online at 10am during the week?

That’s really shit though.

Then people would have to pay more money to become a gold member? Wouldn’t that be unfair on people who couldn’t afford to?

Instead of being drawn separately, they did a single ballot with everybody finding out if they had one or not at the same time (just like last night). Nobody in Pot 4 had one before anybody else. People were misled into thinking it would not be like that because of the staggered entry to the ballot- but it turns out it was the same ballot. I have not heard one single convincing argument otherwise (despite the weird amount of people on here trying to convince me otherwise for one reason or another.)

It is

If anybody is going wouldn’t mind a few pics of the new standing bit

Good point, but that was all bollocks anyway. The ballot was drawn at the same time, so despite ‘pots’ nobody got priority

Hope that Man Utd fan that pointlessly posts on here will give us his view

You’re conflating two entirely separate things here.
