That's a great idea!!!! This is my third Euros in a row and whilst it is good, Europe is tedious and overpriced. Will go to the next one as it's UK but then out of Europe world cups only for me. Going to some random 50p a pint all inclusive bumhole TUI resort is something I have never thought of, but I can imagine being a load of cheap and easy fun!

Way more money tho. My ST works out at around £21 per match. They’ll be charging three figure $ for entry level tickets. Plus new commercial markets for us. It’s workable for all 20 PL clubs.

Harvey's is my favourite UK brewer. Will as usual 100% be going through the cask range at the John Harvey Tavern in Lewes when we have Brighton away next season

Live fast die young, the man was a menace, lived everything to the absolute max. My first port of call when I was going somewhere totally random and he somehow had a box of tips from when he went there in 1973 or something. I’m going to Dortmund for a euro match in June and I was well looking forward to debriefing him afterwards

**** sake, sorry to hear that. Very good move speaking to the renowned barrister, praying he can help you. Keep messaging on here if it makes you feel better, or not if it doesn’t. Goes without saying DMs are open, replies will ALWAYS be same day

How did you get on today mate? Hopefully something promising?

Not having a dig at McKenna at all, but I strongly dispute he's got 'strong managerial talent', and to be even in the same post as Pep and Thomas Frank is punchy. What he has achieved at Ipswich is extraordinary but I do not think he's a great manager. Watching the championship this season has been an eye-opener in how bad football at this level really is. Everyone has one way of playing and no plan B (including us), no physical ability, just Warnock type 'gerrintoem' abilities to razz up a team and make them care a bit. Teams in the PL will work him out, he'll have no response and Ipswich will go down. That's not saying he's a bad manager, but he's not elite (yet). Luton performing best out of the 3 is just like me performing best in our group of 4 men when Naomi Campbell was on our table at Mahiki in 2012. End result is failure. At least Luton went down tbf, unlike any of us that night

Disagree, disagree, strongly agree. There's no way most managers would win the league with Man city, Man Utd and Chelsea have spaffed more money than them and are horrendous. We've seen first hand how truly diabolical a level of football the championship really is, with little to no tactical awareness or competent teams. You don't need a great manager just a great motivator to take someone out of that league. Ipswich will come straight back down next season, just like Luton, because everyone will work McKenna out within a few days and he is nowhere near good enough to combat that. Yes, Thomas Frank for three seasons and Irioala this season have been incredible. Would say the same for Gary o Neill at Wolves.

The moaners will in charge of FT again.

****** hell mate. Genuinely, all the very best to you. Sounds unimaginably cruel. Take as much professional advice and experience as you can and try to stay level headed.

Bloody well did in 2013 that’s for sure. Had a few exams in York hall, the overpowering stench of vaporub for 4 hours whilst you’re trying to concentrate

These interviews are so inhumane. They’ve just had their heads knocked around for an hour, will have no idea where they are never mind what they’re saying

Quality fight. Rematch apparently in October, will look into a Middle Eastern sojourn for that

Haha me? Do you have the right person lol? Report back on Doha pls! Flown Qatar airways a fair bit, decent quality airline and brilliant connection airport.

That sounds way more fun than the Canary Islands. You won’t get arrested and you don’t have to dress like a nun, don’t believe the media scare stories. You’ll be able to drink in hotels and licenced bars in muscat, not heard of the other place and never been to doha. Had a fantastic night out in muscat in 2015. It’s a different culture, explore, learn and enjoy

I love it, had my stag there. An exceptional weekend

I agree hence my dislike of him is contrarian. I usually can't stand the 'non league mate game's gone mate KPFC mate ticket office shambles mate non league mate' daily mail crowd and agree if City had Terry from the street in charge lumping it forward every chance, our wobble from Feb - April would not have got as much negative attention. However Southgate has somehow managed to turn a group of elite winners into losers. Man City, Liverpool, Real Madrid even West Ham!!!! have won things in recent times, these players can cope with pressure and have elite mentality. However they won't win a thing under Southgate. An average manager shouldn't be celebrated simply for YoY growth IMO

One I'm happy to join all the middle aged daily mail moaners with, I am completely disinterested in England matches. Even had tickets for the game against Serbia on the Sunday but gave them up as I'd rather go to Munich earlier to enjoy the delights there in advance of the Romania game we have tickets for. Which would've been unheard of as a teenager as I dreamed of watching England in major tournaments. However I won't constantly profess 'England's gone mate' I will watch matches and vaguely hope they win. For me Southgate has lost all interest for me. We have on paper the greatest crop of players possibly ever? Subjective as that is I know. We are benefitting from our players playing under elite coaches like Pep and Klopp. Other nations are under historic declines (have Germany ever been this bad?). And absolutely nothing to show for it. Reminds of a competitor firm here. They have invested heavily in worldwide talent, they have an all star crop, they should be cleaning up the market. But they are happy patting themselves on the back because they are 9% up YoY, when they should be at double digit growth. Loser mentality.

You’ve got a property with high quality tenants in situ that want to stay, you’re sitting on a goldmine. Advertise to BTLs only and say the tenant has an AST beyond the point of sale/explicitly state tenants remaining is a condition of sale

Agreed, this sounds most reasonable. It seems they periodically release stories like this to assess reactions. If it’s only a load of ‘footballs gone mate ticket office shambles’ people it tends to proceed a bit. When the likes of lineker get involved it seems to shut up for a while

Man Utd are a completely failed business, held together by a superstar CEO who had control and gravitas over all the operations. Once he leaves, no one knows what to do, as we've seen. Liverpool and Man City appear to be very well run businesses, can imagine the infrastructure is there for another manager to slot in and maintain standards. Much like Brighton for example

Foreign office can go do themselves. Tories out. If we get Pyongyang away in the carling cup I’m going

Not sure about security, it's football, ie a totally frivolous pursuit designed to entertain and deflect from actual life. I am not sure the hordes of city fan moaning about us being in the PL are insecure, they just want to enjoy championship football. Bragging rights is a key part of British football culture, think you're reading too much into/comparing it to real life which it is not. Financially absolutely the CL trumps everything. But again speaking as a non-rational football fan, the trips in the conference and europa league were a lot of fun. If I had a choice of European competition, I would pick conference league. I would relish the chance to see City in Kazakhstan or Moldova or Slovakia et al.

Sounds brilliant, never been to Croatia, never thought about it tbh. Report back pls

Surely any self respecting Spurs fan wants them to lose tonight. Yeh Ange can say what he wants, and I think he said it really well, but he's been there for a year and he'll be gone in a few years. Spurs fans will be left with a generation of Arsenal fans at WHL singing for 90 mins about how Spurs won them their first league in 20 years. It's surely a no brainer, LOSE. Champions league football is not that important.
