Yes i'm referring to parachute payments, and what you're describing doesn't go against what i said in the slightest. If clubs that go down are financially fucked without them then it just proves how badly broken the game is

It's just disgusting, the game these days has been completely sold out from under us, it's not about civic pride anymore, it's a product sold to telly clappers with no link to the place "their" team is from, backed by oil countries and billionaires to sell advertising and tat to people who quote stats & pretend to "know ball". Of course it's business but that doesn't mean i like it. Do i think SR are doing the "right" thing trying to get the most they can in a corrupt market? Yes Do I think that much money for an unproven young player is fucking mental? Yes Do I think this is just another example that football is catastrophically f*cked as a competition? Yes The points of view aren't mutually exclusive. In fact you can also extend that to the fact that us getting £100m (we won't) for a single player, plus getting parachute payments will massively skew our chances in the championship of promotion. But i also think that's a prime of example of how rotten the game has got. Because we can be an absolutely failure of a club and yet start next season with a massive benefit. Like i say the game is rotten to the core, corrupted by money and greed, and needs to collapse to get better. Personally i'm just glad i saw the game when it was a competition, before it got fashionable and trendy, before money ruined the game and stats ruined the game. Back when it was cheap enough for you and your mates to wander up on a Saturday having decided that day you wanted to go and pay on the gate a sensible amount and know your team actually had a chance against almost any side.

If we sell a 19 year old kid who's only played half a season, and only scored 2 goals, no matter how good he potentially is, for north of £60m then all it shows is how completely fucking broken football is and the utter pointlessness of most clubs even trying to compete in the sport

It will provide a constant booming of songs stolen from other clubs, followed by renditions of we sing our songs, whilst also proudly declaring it's hatred for portsmouth by people from sallisbury. The stuff of dreams.

The RED WALL is the envy of the world, in no single place has there even been such a high concentration of vloggers, wools & inbetweeners BANTA! It can't actually get any worse. We are putting local pubs out of business with the gulags in the most efficient manner possible. We have broken everything, which surely means we're doing a brilliant job

I'm happy with the manager choice if it's correct, not convinced by the player though
-
Change of manager and year long loan of a key player already agreed for next season from what i'm hearing. What do you make of the news @Turkish?

For all those people saying "i prefer the championship" or the ones at games singing about us going down and going on "championship tours" those european aways were like nothing else. That's why you want to be in the top flight, moments like that are incredible. It still blows my mind i had piss ups in holland, went to the Danish equivalent of Eastleigh, 20miles from the gaza strip (and a lot less distance to "strip" in Prague), and one of the most iconic grounds in the world. What I wouldn't give to have those days back again -
If you watch that video closely - and know what you're looking for - you can see one of their other myths being shattered that night in it too 👀 They're proper desperate, also them thinking they're some sort of terrifying undefeatable force of nature means when they actually come up against us they get shown up and unstuck. It's the same as them being obsessed with what Millwall think of them, or the books and bullshit they spout everywhere. It just reeks of insecure weirdos which makes it all the more funny to mock them for it.

That away end was one of the best away ends i've been in in 40 odd years of going, a load of the bingo bus lot swerved it and it seemed to be mostly lads. The celebrations for when the goals went in were incredible and the noise was something else. Also one of the only times i'll join in with the scummers stuff, especially coming out of the ground when we were lined up behind the stand and you just had that ominous "Scummers, Scummers" ringing out. It wasn't at a million miles an hour, it was slow and purposeful, fucking great way to mock them. Sadly next season we'll end up with a bunch of out of towners and posh kids grabbing the tickets and singing about players cocks and pantomime songs instead of real vitriol and hatred like it should be.

Think the reason for the lack of bubble was to do with how little time the Hants old bill had to organise it rather than anything else. Personally think they'll have a bubble again this time sadly, which f*cking ruins it. Wonder if we'll get a load of "free" tickets like we did at the league cup game with the saints fans coming in two to a ticket 👀 Also wonder if the skates will pump crowd noise into the away end using their tannoy system again? That league cup game really shattered a lot of their myths to pieces, not that they'd admit to it.

Yeah because being a skate and being spurs are exactly the same 🤣 Obviously I couldn't give a shit if Le Tiss supported spurs in the same way I don't give a shit about who Ron Davies supported. The skates is a different matter, and your straw man is bollocks. Prowse was born in a PO postcode, his family are season ticket holders there, he was a season ticket holder there, he was a mascot for them at a game, he said their FA Cup win was one of his favourite days and he said Andy Awford was his favourite player. For a fanbase that bangs on about hating the skates a lot of people really fucking don't do they?
-
Why would anyone care if Le Tiss supported Spurs? Fairly sure that the Kane/Arsenal thing was shown not to be true wasn't it?
-
Nah i'm not having that he's a skate and always will be a skate. Was he decent for us? Yes. Does that stop him being a skate? No.

Yup not sure what relevance that has now, unless you think the side you support changes as you get older?
