Pubs is the motivating factor. My mate's Canadian wife is keen to watch (in her words) the plumbers and plasterers play. She couldn't believe the concept of the FA Cup. We've swerved the Beach Hut, simply £120 for the hire - no VIP extras, that's additional

Cracking ground (amazingly LCFC played there in the league) and a surprisingly decent town too.

Both were still surprises. Particularly Wakey but then got the scent of blood when Wigan went down to 12 and completely steamrolled them. Leeds just went ran of steam come the semi and think that they had so many departing players hurt them in the end. Wouldn't have had Burgess down as the bloke what might break a 70 year plus hoodoo!

Trestellar is effectively the same thing what we did back in 2013/14. Set up a shell company, pump mystery money through it and claim a contract for some non existent nonsense

You can’t use cause and effort as the point of a legal challenge. It would be like Forest in 2004/2005 saying the reason they were relegated to League 1 is because Leicester were not punished in 2002/2003 when going in administration Or do Chelsea have a claim on the FA Cup when we won’t it because it’s further proven that we were cheating FFP?

The problem is the legal proof of that. That's the angle where people don't think we have a case. We were affected but try to categorically approve it.

If they get any relegations, it should be with a points deduction too. It would completely skew the divisions without.

It’s just about being sensible enough that you aren’t going to get in the clubs and the most ‘interesting’ venues there. Like be tough with those numbers in Neukollen or Kreuzberg. The latter isn’t everyone taste either, it’s a ****ing mad mix. You’ll love it or hate it. Kottbusser Tor is like sensory overload There’s lots of brewery / beer garden type places instead. Hofbrau have a hall there. BRLO another. Tiergarten has a couple of gardens with loads of tables. Have a little search at them.

Good move to Al Hilda

Valencia in October Sorted tickets for the main game, 9pm Saturday kick off. Could do Villarreal at 4pm but can’t really arsed for the rush on the train. Other games aren’t the most helpful so going basketball on Sunday night. They like a Sunday morning slot at third and fourth tier so fingers crossed something comes together. Off Lewes in November, the famous Dripping Pan. Seriously considering one of the beach huts

Pulled off 10k pb for 2026 this morning as well. The double dipper of Blackbird Road to Glenfield and loop back around using Anstey Lane. Probably taught me what’s a little too quick for next week

De Marco part of this has much has anyone. Him and his legal firm have been coining it in since the introduction of FFP/PSR. He can claim his holier than thou attitude all he likes but his career, status and financial success has directly benefitted from those organisations he likes to criticise

Very well put. There’s also one article flying about that says only three clubs hit the necessary time frames to have any right to claim on Man City’s charges. This is the problem when you allow an organisation to self govern within any existing ‘framework’. The big six put pressure because they use the TV deal like a weapon. To the big six if it was solely about money, they’d have pushed for a TV deal like other countries where the splits are lob sided to the size of club/crowds/tv audiences. They keep the status quo to yield power and use that as a threat when they want things pushing through.

Yep I’ve been a fool and grabbed one

Inter ‘won’ 05/06. The season was still deemed active at the time of hearing. Juventus were disqualified completely and deemed to finish 20th. Milan would have won but were deducted 30 points (still finishing 3rd!). Similar for Fiorentina and Lazio. Fiorentina were 3rd before punishment. So it’s more like the recent cases of FFP in the Premier League where the process was all done within three months. But the season of 04/05 despite a verdict of Juventus being guilty, there was deemed no title winner
