That's the spirit!

What was the point of getting promoted if we can’t spend any of the extra income?

In total.

But do they?

And why is that a concern? Is it really a good idea to be training up the rest of the world to compete with us?

600,000 a year, every year? How many new houses is that?

Yep. We’re full.

More importantly, why Britain? There are at least a couple of hundred other countries in the world.

Did the linesman (assistant) wave his arm back and forwards?

We also owe it to the previous games last season that got us into that position.

It’s the system that allows such shots in the first place. These shots are for the most part coming unchallenged from inside our own goal area. In no way is McCarthy a better goalkeeper than Bazunu. We’ve seen enough of him over the recent seasons to know that. There are significant differences between them but neither is anywhere near good enough for what we need

Not to mention hair style or eye makeup.

I’m with you here. It’s the system that leads to the mistakes.

That would mean revealing our hand before sealing any deals.

You cannot possibly say that. He was part of the team that got us into our position at the end of the season and whilst McCarthy got us over the line he was also responsible for our stuttering performances near the end. in my view it was the move away from possession based football to a more pragmatic style which also meant keeping the ball away from our own goal that was a bigger reason. Even then it was a close run thing.

And they would have to be pork sausages.

Are you OK GM? No airbag or seatbelt burns? 😧

That is a worry. It doesn’t matter who you have in goal if you try to keep the ball as near to your own goal as possible and as far away from the opposition’s then you’re going to concede a lot.

When do yo ever see St George’s Day mentioned in the media, as compared to Burns Night, for example?

I found this on ticket-compare.com The away allocation in the Premier League varies from stadium to stadium. The rules state that home clubs must offer the visiting team a minimum of 3,000 tickets if their capacity exceeds 30,000. If their capacity is lower, the minimum away allocation in the Premier League must be 10% of the seats in the stadium.

I didn’t even have to log in. In fact I didn’t even have to have a phone or an internet connection. Even simpler.

You bothered because you have a point of view that deserves to be heard.

Unlike a lot of people, this not ‘all about me’. I have empathy for others. People less able than myself, people with disabilities of various kinds. For the elderly with arthritic fingers and failing eyesight on a cold day operating a modern smartphone is not the easiest of activities. That’s if they even have a smartphone and an email account. Sure the theoretical option is there to have a physical ticket but in practice obtaining one is not as simple as you might think.

Unwilling, or unable. You really don’t have a clue about customer relations. The option of a physical ticket should have been made available at the point of purchasing a ticket. Anyone wanting to spend several hundred pounds should have their experience made as simple and efficient as possible. They should not be made to jump through hoops in order to get what should be readily available. You obviously didn’t read completely, or maybe didn’t understand, what I wrote. My process involved a phone call and a hold of more than ‘a little bit’ after which nothing happened for two weeks despite the promise of being contacted, followed by a visit to the stadium office in order in order to be served properly. When you say it ‘seems pretty simple to me’ perhaps it’s because you yourself are pretty simple.

I take it you’ve never had to rely on customers for your livelihood. There must be a reason that you hate that line. Possibly because you hate customers? Going back to your earlier post, my experience did not prove that there was a simple solution. Quite the opposite.
