Hahahah MOVED by the campaign!!! There are downsides of co-pilot doing all of your admin Asa. Also how funny is the most recent donation coming from Lewis is GAY. This message will obviously prompt a lot of twitter/sky sports/media/talksport backlash. Would suggest no one gets emotional, woke and/or snowflakey, just go with it.

Only other thing would be it'd be worth booking a cheapo hotel or at least an arrivals lounge at the airport. The power of a shower, clean toilet, brushing your teeth and new set of underwear is unparalleled on these short stops

Does this still stand for Glasgow, and does anyone have any other tips pls?

Yeh no idea what the faff would be. I went to Florida a few years back and did half a day stopover in Toronto. There is no faff. It’s a diff visa and ensure your luggage is marked as transit so you don’t have to collect and check it in again. Take advantage of the privileges our British passports give us, cheap/easy visas and freedom of movement around the world. We have no faff with it in our pockets.

Yeh good point. Maybe I’m displaying recency bias with those clubs. Its meant to be a piece of history logically, but that’s not reality. I hear far more complaints about our missed 4th place finishes than compliments about our fa cup win. Or maybe I’m just surrounded by very miserable people and most city fans are like you and realistic
-
My argument is Crystal clear. Winning trophies does not make football fans happy for anything longer than a few months. The average net happiness level of palace, Brighton, Fulham, Bournemouth fans is prob higher than ours and West Ham’s over the last 10 years. Given we were miserable 6 months after winning the league and we’ve been miserable for at least 3 years and counting I’m not saying anything shocking. I’m not saying I’d swap to be them. No need to read anything more into what I’m saying than what I’m saying.
-
I’m with you! I salute you. But the reality is a few months after the fa cup and charity shield was lifted the stadium was mainly Rodgers based rage. Just checked and Chelsea home, 3-0 defeat, was nov 2021 and everyone seemed to hate him then. Sunderland away was dec 2016 and most I spoke to after that game wanted ranieri out. Our trophies did NOT bring on years of joy, whatever anyone with rose tinted specs and nostalgia says
-
You are so detached from the average fan I see/overhear. You think we took advantage of our golden years and cemented our legacy?! Christ
-
Yeh i agree with you. I still go to city and dare say it, enjoy it too. I genuinely completed it in 2016 so now it’s just a pass time and not worthy of getting all worked up about. But that’s not the mass market view as proven at matches. Everyone is so miserable. We wanted ranieri out a few months after we lifted the trophy lol. The iron forced moyes out a year after they were ‘soooooo haaaappppy’ about the conference league. I bet this time next year Howe will be getting panned by the Geordies and not one of them will be talking about yday. Football fans want it all and are evidentially not happy with a trophy lift now n then
-
Again, as stated, speak to any West Ham or Leicester fan now and absolutely none of them will be saying ‘it’s all ok because we won a trophy.’ I have only heard city fans being shot down for suggesting they are ok with our current situation because we won some trophies. Of course we’ll all never forget the day out but I bet the average net happiness of Fulham, Brighton, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace fans is higher than West Ham’s over the last 10 years.
-
Talk to us and West Ham fans now tho, and Newcastle fans in 3 years time if nothing else is won. Will all be forgotten.

Leicester City and VfL Bochum - Blue and White Friendship

Just under an hour delay to ko at the home match v Frankfurt as away fans refused to move banners blocking emergency exits. Schoolyard scenes scenes as various authorities tried to get the ULTRAS to move their banners before they eventually did -
I’m there every 2-3 weeks. Average 30 mins from the train station to the lounge. Unless you’re getting hammered there’s no need to get there 2.5 hours before takeoff.
-
That's incredible. Going to Glasgow in a few weekends, anyone have any connects for Celtic home tickets?
-
This is a legit mental post. Its like those crazed threads in general chat forum where posters coalesce about how evil the tories/trump/insert popular culture item here is without any backing. The bloke won the premier league, he at the very least had a clue about how to run a premier league football club. Ofc the KP ownership will eventually be remembered for its glorious failure but wow this is almost demented.

Qatar, Etihad, Turkish, Singapore. Raised the bar to another level. Had 17 hours on a BA plane to Buenos Aires in November, once you've flown with a proper customer-focused airline you cannot set foot on the tired, cheap and naff concept BA push out. Dreadful airline. Anything under 5/6 hours doesn't bother me. Pretty much a bus at that time length.
-
I guess that’s the point, these places aren’t far away/one-off places to visit anymore. Few hours or so flight and a £20 Ryanair means you can go as many times as you like to explore. You’re not gonna experience the true Catalan vibe with 5 days in Barcelona speaking English and following a trip advisor tour itinerary anyway
-
I guess this is triggered from the cool Leicester story. What triggers you. The concept or the wording. The concept is great, we live on a tiny and interconnected continent, it’s a perk of living here to go on a day trip. The wording is stupid, it’s not extreme, Barcelona is a very short flight away. In my first job I went to work in Barcelona multiple times. I woke up at 430am in London worked a full day in Barca and was back in bed for 1030pm. That’s not extreme.

I went on that train during the euros. Over 6 hour journey! 🍻🍻 -

Bochum win at the Allianz after being 2 down. Late first half red for Bayern helped -
What do you mean by ESG investments? Full article 9 compliant? Wouldn't be surprised if you're losing money on article 9 given volume of redemptions, but article 8 funds are broadly up 3 YoY.
