Agree with this. Two industries that are ripe for taking to pieces and modernising; Estate agencies and conveyancing solicitors. Estate agencies are full of morons who really are only interested in their commission, despite the cr*p they feed you. I'd far rather do it all online next time. Conveyancing solicitors are just ridiculous. All the chasing and harassing to get them to DO the job you're paying a lot of money for only to get back "oh haven't you had that yet, we posted it ... " F**KING posted it?? POSTED! Okay yes, there are certain docs that need signatures, but most of the to and fro discussions can happen by email or phone or getting in the room. I'm sure the solicitors for both parties are actually making up questions to ask as well. Another letter another £19 either side. It's all a complete con. I remortgaged last month ... £900 for a solicitor to speak to the banks and do what I could have done. Seriously. Then they had to cheek to charge me to transfer the money to my bank, ARGH.

Reluctantly, I agree. Hence my totally apathetic feeling to the start of the season.

A signed contract means f**k all if another club is willing to pay for their services and offer them even more money. All the contract gives them is more money and if they f**k up or get injured, a few more years' pay. It's all a farce. B*llocks to them all.

This. I honestly have no interest or excitement, at all.

According to this forum, we should sack the manager, made half the first team redundant and then we'll lose 4-0 and not 10-0.

Up your ar$e, now bore off.

He won't - Jose will get that team flying and we won't hear the bloody end of it. Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose Klopp Jose Jose Pep Pep Pep Conte Klopp Jose Jose Pep Klopp Conte Jose. It's tedious already.

Just ... wow! I hope they return their season tickets, that's worthy of a proper boycott and more widespread recognition to ridicule Charlton.

Exactly. I remember on the old Saintslist and on this forum (well, the proper Saintsforever forum in 1999) that there were a couple of people who were genuinely interesting to speak to about club dealings (i.e. what Lowe was like etc). Also, you could still go in the training ground to watch any day you wanted, until during Dave Jones' time when someone (I think it might have been Minty??) went along and posted up what formation they were playing in training on the Friday before the match and the club/Jones got the hump. Anyway. Now the forum / internet seems to be full of people who WANT TO KNOW RIGHT NOW what is happening and aren't content with just waiting to see. They all want to know before other people so they can then tell their mates that they know before other people. It's tedious and boring. We'll know who has signed what, when it's up on the official site. The internet seems to be breeding and creating bores who want to be the first to know everything. Anyway, as you were.

Not as much of a **** as you though, hun

Knowing both Essruu and Turkish well, I know neither are full of ****

You been on the herbs? 1-0 and 0-0 will be more likely.

Taider

It was boring. The Guardian was well written as well as balanced.

Nope, it's a great article, nicely balanced.

100% this, well put.

Exactly this. I also know a number of businesses who simply have season tickets in the Kingsland or Itchen and entertain people in Oxford Street or South Western House etc. It sense as you get nicer food and you're more able to take your clients to other places if they so wish. I don't know anyone who'd be happy sanctioning £43k a year for that.

Thanks mate, appreciated ...

Of course some won't. But I'd hope that they follow basic UX principles like not using white text on a black background and that they AB Test the f**k out of it to make sure it's what the majority of the paying fanbase want to see. Pigs might fly.

I never, EVER look at the official site as white text on a black background is a UX no and it just completely f**ks with my eyes. Whoever designed that site format and the colour scheme needs firing.

Shamefully, I will admit I've stopped listening to/watching the conferences of YouTubes clips as I've found them all very dull. They don't seem to have the same spark as before. Maybe once the season kicks in and we're top of the league I will be more interested as it could just be that we had a great season and pre-season whilst always being boring, is just a huge come down. I wonder if Leicester fans are bored of pre-season?

LOL, as you do. It's not really the "hi hun, i got an i phone 5 s 4 free wich im sellin 4 £250. inbox me xoxoxo" that you normally get on forums

I remember that, they suddenly bought about 4 strikers that year. The hammer c*nt at work was boring me to tears about how they would all be world beaters. Fat f**king pr*ck. Ahem.

I'd forgotten about them as well!

Ah okay thanks, didn't realise we'd sent anyone on loan yet, must have missed that.
