On one hand, I can see yanks pushing for it but on the other I really don't think they understand just how ingrained and tribalistic football is to our culture. Could see groups of fans just blocking a team bus from parking.

Did Newcastle or Villa circle the drain this badly before going down? I can't help but feel there's a will from the league for them not to go. They seem to get so much slack.

I also liked Perez. We paid too much but as a player, he was fine. We must not repeat that sort of spending. Buy smart.

Christ has it been 7 years? I remember him signing and thinking we'd got a real coup.

17th. We're not mid table Leicester on a wobble. We're a championship team that have been promoted.

Seems a bit crazy but they must have someone in mind to pull the trigger so soon after the end of the season.

My Saucony pair was about £140 but the difference is HUGE to your standard £60 off the shelf. As an aside - I did a relatively flat 9 mile route yesterday and flew round. Accounting for traffic stops and road crossings, it was a healthy sub 10 mins average and it was hardly cracking 160bpm.

He can't be real, surely? Absolute mess of a man

Well I suppose the way you do it is that you make clear that you don't direct swearing AT the ref (and where possible, oppo players). I think we can all accept a CB shouting to his full backs "fuching track him" etc but if you swear at the ref, it's recorded and you get a 1 match ban.

I don't quite think the idea of Russians escalating if the West did a joint massive conventional response is right. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY knows that nuclear is a no no. I can imagine if one was used, there'd be a clear statement of "you did this" and then it would be HEAVY but on the right side of fair. I picture Western Europe and the US just absolutely gutting Russian troops that are currently within Ukrainian borders. As noted, China would stay right out of it.

Got something in my eye

I think I'd genuinely be a bit sick if he went to Wrexham

I don't get Spurs. Can't just be the run of games and fixture schedule.

Gutted I'm not there to be part of it but christ that's got a lump in the throat

They've really just been out of step with the times. I regularly go to Manchester but just avoid the big shopping areas. Cities are increasingly serving less purpose. People buy online and can't afford drink. So what do they actually do?

Echoing others. The run the other night for Vardy's second was some FIFA nonsense. Yes, it was against a woeful Preston defence but he's capable on the ball. In my mind, he's another Maguire style player and I'm not sure I want him in central defence.

You'll kick yourself when Sean gets the job

Is there a breakdown of other EPL club's nonsense "admin" costs compared? Admin fees per ticket, membership, etc?

Think you're overestimating Buxton's ability to be interesting there mate

Whatever happens next season, we'll need cover for him. Can't do a repeat of this year.

Slightly heartbroken I'll miss it but got my regular volunteering and no way I'd get to the game

Come on you tractor boys

We moan because the club got relegated from a stable position, is possibly facing serious financial sanctions, charges fans stupid costs that other clubs don't and has rested on its laurels. Last night was absolutely fantastic but it's important to remember this is a commercial enterprise and we are customers.

The thing for me is he's unlikely to take a 1 year extension on lower wages, so that's money tying us to a player who has been demonstrably on the decline at top flight level. I'd let him go and use that money elsewhere. Hamza can do the Ndidi role. Not as well but Hamza's best is better than Ndidi's worst.

Tbh I hardly saw any. Crazy really but I passed about a dozen near Sainsbury's and then nary a peep out of them all game
