If only they had built a bigger ****ing stadium.

Nope - wife it going crazy.

I wonder if it depends how many joint applicants there are at the lower points end. We had 3 of us on 36 and didn't get in. I wonder if on the low end to makeup single seats they might chose single applicants? Who knows! Hopefully we make it this time with 63 points

Goals on film.

They showed the lines for a split second so no one watching can see how it was worked out. Kept the stadium waiting for minutes for something that looked offside and no one has any proof that it was actually onside. About the worst advert for VAR you could get.

Lines were shown for a split second. Nonsense.

Thanks for raising this - and it's a really staggering position that they held here regarding safe standing when they could see what was happening throughout the game. Very brave for calling it out as well. Will be joining.

It depends on how complex the problem is to solve. If the tool was created over the course of a few evenings then the business won't find it difficult to replicate. I am presuming the problem is specific to this business due to how the software project was scoped.

Firstly, congrats on building something you are really proud of. I recently visited a contact from a client i worked with 4 companies ago and was astonished to find they are still using one of the first systems I ever built. It was an amazing feeling, although i got paid a junior wage when i built it and certainly wasn't reimbursed adequately for something that ran a business for over 20 years. With your points about when and how you worked on it, be a little bit careful about how you frame this. Even if you worked on it out of hours and to solved something for you (that you think can be scaled out), you wouldn't have thought about the tool if you weren't working for your employer. Employment contracts generally cover this by pointing out that IP is owned by the business and saying you did it out of hours won't matter here because the value of what's built belongs to the business. Time is money, but when building time saving tools developers aren't paid in hours saved. Our dev team has recently released automated trading, which introduces massive savings and scale opportunities, but everyone on the project is paid their wage. I don't know what you've built or how it works, but there is another consideration with deploying software in that there are licensing / documentation / training / long term support considerations. Also, the business and suppliers usually require a level of quality assurance. You may say it works fine but software teams go through processes to prove this and have to prove it. I think Raj hit the nail on the head. Find someone senior who you trust and explain how / why you did what you did. In our organisation, when we have seen aptitude like this, we see if there are long term opportunities for upskilling into the technology team. In my last company / team, one of the best QA testers on the team was someone from the business who took a keen interest in the technology, and has now retrained into a web developer.

Has the meeting with Enzo happened yet?

We had a goal difference of 10 better than Leeds (we scored 8 more), and they had a striker and a defender in the team of the season. Rutter being picked was a disgrace.

Unpopular opinion, but now the dust has settled and we are watching Leeds / Southampton boring everyone to tears in the playoffs, I think the time is right for him to move on and something like Como will probably suit (although i can't see them getting anywhere near the sort of salary we would pay). Think the fans gave him a great send off and he clearly let his hair down at the parade. Think he had a huge impact in getting us over the line. But i can't get his last prem season out of my head, nor can i forget that he was barely training in the final quarter of this season. Genuinely think its time.

They've got 26 points. We had 31 points after 37 games last year. It's been a seriously shite season at the bottom of the table.

Invest in facilities (ie don’t have a Man U begging for the government to build them a stadium), charge less for tickets, provide more services for the local community and grass roots football. Maybe pay off some of the horrible loans that have been accumulated. Make sure that the clubs own the assets rather than evil Saudi Corp ltd.

Leeds have been shit for a while now. Their last home win was 1st April. They will be cagey.

We played both Norwich and West Brom as 12.30 and the atmosphere was brilliant both games.

You really do support Leeds don’t you.

Leeds remain the greatest team that was ever put together.

Woke up and had a chuckle to myself. Leeds are in the playoffs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🫣🫣🫣🫣🤣🤣

Depends what Torinos offer was. At the end of the day is might have been so low the club felt it was better to retain him as a squad player.

Perineum ... arses - someone already said that

They spent a lot on moolah on dross they are going to need to try and get rid of. Going to be a tough season for them.

Don't think Yunus was their either and Daka isn't in that photo is he?

The difference is that Man City used that money build great foundations through the club, from backroom staff to media / revenue opportunities / academy management and monetisation, through to the overarching player recruitment strategy which is built on long term goals around the managers vision. Compare this to Man Utd or Chelsea who have spend gut-wrenching obscene amounts of money and look like the pits in comparison. If it was easy just by throwing money at it, the Chelsea and Man Utd would be battling them consistently for the top spot. No one debates the money was/is dirty. But in football its far too easy to spend that money on nothing, which Man City didn't do.

And maybe a bigger ffp issue?
