This is creeping towards a sell out, if you're on the fence I'd suggest getting sorted in the next day or so!

Easily. Full back is an area where we haven't really had a massive amount of talent, even in the best teams the club has ever had. Unlike a position like in goal where we've got a pretty incredible history of talent for a club our size.

Most of those listed for resale will be full. It's part of the problem we have, people hanging onto STs with the hope that we'll get good again, and in the meantime they feel obliged to go rather than really wanting to be there. I think people have forgotten what the stadium plan looked like when we actually used to get 22/23k at home games. It takes half a dozen blocks to be virtually empty to actually get those numbers.

It's a chicken and egg situation really, they were targeted because they are racist against Arabs. It's almost as if these two communities have hated each other for 3000 years! The comparison with more "conventional" football hooliganism doesn't really hold water either, hooligan groups can be relatively easily kept away from each other on a matchday. Put a couple of thousand openly anti Muslim, racist Tel Aviv fans into Birmingham and every single interaction they have with a big proportion of locals from the minute they arrive to the minute they leave is going to be an incident.

There's a line between "unruly" and "openly racist".

They're scum mate and you know it.

Targets of the violence included an Arab taxi driver,[5] Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv fans,[6] and pro-Palestinian protesters.[2]

They're not banned becasue they're Israeli ffs. They're banned becasue they have a long, documented history of public order offences.

Well well well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2024_Amsterdam_riots

Where did you copy this from?

I've got a feeling Daka is due a penalty goal which will be used to excuse him from total incompetence for the next 3 months.

I really don't get how resale works this season. This was looking ok in terms of sales, not sold out but mostly full, then looking again yesterday there's seemingly thousands. What's the criteria for resale opening?

England band even more insufferable than usual tonight.

Are we good?

Follow Ingglund away lads sing along in time with the anthem challenge (Impossible).

He's probably still reeling from when he said one PL was in a very very bad spot and then the next day no one got charged. It's quite incredible that he's made himself some kind of oracle on this topic.

Which I think he was doing?

Really? This has him on 9 contributions from 19 apps at U23/U18 level last season https://footystats.org/players/england/jeremy-monga

The game is next weekend.

I think that's a tough argument to make. Monga was scoring and assisting for fun at youth level but since making the step up has "only" (please don't pull me up on this stat, it's purely illustrative) contributed 2 in 16 so the step up is obviously huge. Completely reasonable to suspect Evans' numbers would drop off a cliff as well if he was starting games at senior level. Equally as reasonable to think Caranza would score for fun if he played U18 games now.

Snap your hand off for any fee in Jan. He's half arsing it at the best of times, imagine how bad it'll be in the last few months of his contract. Exactly what we don't need in another crucial run in.

More reams of nothing.

Since he was last there!

Currently managing Weymouth, badly.

Have to admit I dipped a toe back into Lost Prophets after Saturday's (good) news. They were awkwardly good.
