Alright guys, make of this what you will but if you look back through my posts you will see that I am rarely wrong. I was one of the first to say OGS was on the plane, I was an early supporter of Barry Bannan, I stalked a certain female snowboarder and I was also caught in flagrante with a certain lady you all seemed happy to message. I was first to bring you news of Torres coming to Villa. In short I know my shit and once shared a car with Jack (less said about that the better). Speaking with my contact he tells me that Jack is hours away from getting a mixed grill from Broadway 2. Thank me later boys. 
 

Apologies, turns out Broadway 2 was closed and last seen heading to Deansgate. 

Which Broadway 2 that is the question

Hello, do we all get new season cards, even though renewed for the same seat, think i've lost mine some where in the house, been such a long time since we all used it!

Yeah, the letter said it replaces all old cards.

Just received mine no pictures are on them, that we had to upload to our account  

Weird question, but where to do you scan on the actual card at the turnstile? I thought there would probably be a QR code as I've never had one before.

Anyone have any info on when we are expected to receive our new cards? 

I've just received mine today, so should be very soon!

When does the window end? Can't wait to not have to worry about whether he's staying for the season or not.

Guess he's leaving now. 

Edit: unsure how to embed the post on mobile but the link is still there. 

Been listening to Stevie Wonder a lot more recently, his songs were all (I'm assuming as a '96 kid) released before I was born. Part-time Lover is probably my favourite.

The kids one? 

I take it as the juve director whatever his name was who was behind the super league did a statement where he moaned about the declining shirt sales in 16 - 24 year olds in South East Asia (might have been globally) and that they needed the ESL to boost sales

They don't need the ESL they need shirts that aren't dogshit... 

Cheers mate. Perez was saying the same thing with interest in football as a whole in the youth generations.

Now I want a Various Youth kit. That dude is providing depth at just about every position and never gets any credit.

Would be a bit odd trying to explain why you have 'Various Youth' printed on your shirt.

Would like to see Bertie in for this one, see how he links up with Emi. 

The Hundred recently started, been a good few matches so far with good crowds too!

Well everyone seems to hate Ben & Jerry's.

Their 'Netflix & Chill'd' is **** amazing. 

Also agree on the Biscoff beasts on sticks. Amazing. 

Also not a fan of Mars bars but Mars ice creams are the tits. Can't only have one though because they're tiny. 

Try the Snickers ice cream!!! 

Bog standard choc-ice. Beautiful. 

FIFA21 was probably my most detested FIFA in a long time. From the shit commentary, CBs running away from the opposition players, OP chip shots, useless GKs and much more. I'll still end up getting 22 and complaining again .

I've had the much sought after email and I can't buy.  Still says I'm on the waiting list.

Are the ticket office still impossible to reach by phone?

That happened to me. Log out then back in and should work. 

Can't go wrong with a solero

The financial side of football is an absolute mess… big clubs have been incredibly reckless and seem to be paying the price now… it’s about time but there’s no point if they revert to form and continue to pay players anywhere from £300k-£1.5m a week! Just look at the state of teams like Barca and Real Madrid, they can’t even afford to register players due to their inflated wage budgets, just continuing and being allowed to exist in debt… it’s crazy.

I just discovered that Bale is on 650k a week, Hazard £450k a week… was already aware of the Barca & Messi situation…absolutely ridiculous.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest that many players lose drive and motivation when they are living in such lavish wealth and luxury… what is motivating them when they become spoilt brats basically? They have more money than they know what to do with and still get greedy (greater demands, avoiding tax). Some seem to reach that status or get that dream move and essentially end or ruin their careers… it’s not the case for every player (Messi, Ronaldo) but many have ended up that way…  there’s no real justification or sense/reason for paying any player so much either, at least imo…

Didn’t they foresee any of this? It’s unsustainable and foolish…

The same goes for little teams like Arsenal They are a good example of some of the above too. Ozil?

So wasteful and reckless…it’s like there’s no strategy or sense… just a desperation and attitude of trying to win/compete at all costs without considering any ramifications or even the health and security of the club itself…

It has to implode…

Let alone that this is all morally corrupt and obscene…

This may sound crazy but I’d rather remain a sustainable and well run club at the cost of failing to eventually reach those top 3-4 positions in the league… I’d rather we exist comfortably and avoid debt and spending like crazy on mediocre, deadbeat, disruptive players…

If players/targets are demanding obscene wages, let’s simply move on and not fall for it…

These so called big clubs need to be brought down a peg or two and have to face the consequences of their foolish actions… with greater restrictions and limits placed upon them aswell as penalties/punishments.

Super League? More like Sleazy League…

Allow the clubs that are run properly to take a few steps up and create a fair and strict set of rules for everyone to have to adhere too… FFP has only served to protect those bigger clubs, they have t changed their ways. It’s simply not good enough…

I read somewhere that Griezmann was on around 800k-ish a week... I assume euros. Absolutely mental.

Im stuck in an endless loop of asking me for my fan id on desktop, but it works on my phone. Then some of the buy membership links just say details to be released soon. Going to clear cache- but this system is really user unfriendly. 

You know its bad when they have to produce step by step guides.

Now reading the above Im worried about my daughters ID on my email...

I think the 'link fan ID' link on the website stays there regardless, because it kept showing up for me too. But when I go into my account details it shows the fan ID. I was still able to purchase my ST so should be fine.

Would've thought so mate, I'm on the ST waiting list so will be pissed off if I get another email offering me a ST after paying for membership!

That's why I'm holding out just for the next few days.

Apologies mods if not the right place to post this, but I've just had an email to renew my Claret membership - all 2019/20 members are getting a code for 20% off the cost of the new membership. I think there were a few people wondering if the membership was going to be running next year, so keep an eye on your emails if that applies to you.

I've seen this, wondering if it means STs all sold out?
