    ST’s - average 9.7% increase

    I understand the points made, but no one is "forcing" anything upon anyone. They are just the terms for next season's ticket as stated by the new owners . No one has to renew. I do understand the comment regarding marketing wording, though. Our women's team have been improving and the board...

    Racism in football

    Lived here (Spain) on and off for seven years. This is a country where they think black face is still okay and calling Asian owned shops "Chinos" in a similar sentiment to how corner shops in the UK used to be referred to as P*** shops is also okay. Obviously sweeping generalisations, but the...

    Non - Manchester City

    Real Madrid fans are more insufferable than fans of Liverpool or United for entitlement and arrogance. Last night was a good night for teams in sky blue. I will be enjoying work today.

    Gary O'Neil

    I can't remember the last time I posted, and I'm sure everyone has already said what I'm about to say, but here we go. I have been very pro GON since his bounce post Parker. I am of the opinion that he should be kept on and the reasons are this: * He is a young, homegrown coach learning his...

    Singapore

    Hi Red_Dez. Already got the Singtel stuff on order. I live not far from Holland and have been told plenty of the bars down there show football. I'd imagine tomorrow's game will be shown... Not so sure I'm fancying going out for that one though. I'll definitely check out that bar, cheers for the...

    Singapore

    Possible long shot, any Cherries in Singapore? Just moved here so it'd be good to know if there are any others who know a bar or two who will show our games.

    Qatar World Cup

    What a bonkers and tragic world we live in!! The stories in the news yesterday is what is raising the question about Qatar going ahead. Not the horrendous worker slave abuse and conditions happening!!! How anyone could attend that event as a spectator, athlete or other and enjoy it, is beyond...

    Eddies messed up

    Hang on, claiming bad management during the game which we came back from two down to draw 2-2? It's also not really hindsight, more of a reflection that the decisions made clearly worked.

    Jefferson Lerma

    So, not sure if there was an answer after my brain jam and then the completely relevant tangent this thread went along. But... would he be our first Uruguayan Colombian player? Also, should we sign him before Colombia get knocked out, would he become our first World Cup player?

    Who's your dark horse?

    Mine is Mexico. I know their qualifying region isn't the strongest, but they have done very well on the quiet. I think they should get at least quarters. But then four years ago, mine was Belgium and they were relatively garbage.

    Jefferson Lerma

    I didn't think that was the case. I thought Spanish contract law meant that sport contracts of employment have a buyout price meaning that no one is locked into a contract by an employer if a prospective employer or the individual is happy to buy it out before its expiry. I have never known any...

    Summer transfer rumours

    Not an incoming rumour, but not starting a new thread for it. Marc Wilson released by Sunderland. One of the oddest signings we made at the time (not talking about the loan from Pompey).

    Summer transfer rumours

    Fabiansky would be great. Boruc signing another year is good (and I am a fan of his), but that's all it will be. Fabiansky will be a great competition for Begovic for another few years at least. Not sure about Ramsdale. He is still young in goalkeeping terms, needs a year or so in the...

    Non.....Guardiola and Africans

    I'd love him to come to AFCB. Alas, I'm not sure we could fund his bazillion pound a week wage, even with Benik going offsky.
