Proud of the club for this. After doing away with anything remotely altruistic during the Ashley era it would be great to see the club be more of an incubator for social initiatives.

One thing jumped out at me on the recent season ticket quote:

Quote


The club has once again frozen prices for all junior categories, while thousands of supporters will continue to pay prices set during the 2011/12 season as part of a long-term price freeze deal.

 

 

This is mental - almost 15 years of the same price set under Ashley. Do supporters under that deal have the right to just keep renewing indefinitely?

Next season is the last season of that deal

Listening to JT getting quizzed on the Simon Jordan podcast. One little nugget of info was Charnley & co went to speak to him (& Arteta) before deciding to hire Bruce…

Thought the Arteta link was well-known.  Apparently Arteta sought advice from different people about the job and was advised not to go near it.

I was reading somewhere (can’t find it) about this being our highest scoring season. It is going to be. We are on 74 already (2.18 goals per game; GD 19).
 

Converting all PL seasons to 38 games (was 42 in our first two seasons) means that best we have done previously is 1993-94, 1.95 gpg, so 74 overall (82 actually), GD 41; 2001-02, 74 scored GD 22; 2022-23 scored 68, 1.79 gpg, GD 35; 2002-03 scored 63, 1.66gpg, GD 15; 1999-00 scored 63, GD 9. 
So Eddie’s free scoring Mags will have two of the five highest scoring seasons in his first two full  seasons.

Following on from the manager 5 a side team yesterday, whats the best XI of footballers in their prime, ever to play for us at some point?

 

                       Given

 

Trippier  Campbell  Woodgate   Pearce

 

Beardsley   Gascoigne  Keegan   Waddle

 

                Rush    Shearer  

 

Quite attacking heavy. A couple in there who were possibly the best in the world at a point in time.

Kenny Sansom was meant to be a quality LB in his prime. Second most capped England left-back behind Cole.

 

Talking in their prime, 1998 to 2002 era Owen & Kluivert might push Rush?

John Barnes ahead of Waddle?

Kluiverts prime was when he was a kid still at Ajax probably. Was supposed to be the next big thing at that point. Cant get much bigger than that but not sure it was fulfilled from Milan onwards whereas Rush was on fire for a decade. Tricky one.

 

Terry Mc in centre-mid instead of Keegan to be technical about it.

Ginola was in the European team of the year in World Soccer when we signed him. Still not seen anybody play better than his first few months here. Just a shout for a wide player on the same account as the above.

Kluivert walks into that side. Incredible footballer, which we saw in patches here.

He was awful here must have had 1 good game off the top of my head
