Squad player now, squad player in the future. That's about it really.

People seem to forget how few ST holders we now have, ergo it's bloody difficult to 'fill' the ground for any game as you have to rely on vast numbers of walk-ons to rock up. But to sell c6k walk-ons is fine, it's double the usual, and this is a Sky midweek at top whack pricing to boot. End of the day there is only one solution - SELL MORE SEASON TICKETS!

They are turning up, we’ve sold a shed load of walk ons, especially at those prices for a Sky midweek. It is what it is when you only have c9k ST holders.

5k in the end lower tiers.

To be fair you’d imagine more ST holders will turn up for this one (unless they are hiding under their stairs like Merce).

‘Not done a lot wrong’ is what you hear, no he hasn’t. But has he excelled? Not particularly. He’s a decent number 2, and that’s as far as it goes for me. But as he is supposedly better at passing a ball five yards to a centre half, I imagine the superior *goalkeeper* will be off in the summer. Which in my view is a very short sighted decision.

Yet Sky pick us pretty much every week 🤷‍♂️

Not fickle at all, the very opposite in fact, we normally sell c5k walk on tickets for a Dingle game… we’ve sold c5k walk on tickets. Indeed that standard 5k normally is at a weekend too. If the club wanted more they should have priced a Sky midweek game more sensibly, not £30-£35….

I do like how Merce is the first one to bang on about ‘having bollocks’ etc, yet he can’t find his in order to go and watch a football match in the genteel surroundings of the JWU. 😁

You know what you need to do George, Jon ‘Now I can’t make you do it. You got to look at the guy next to you. Look into his eyes! Now I think you’re gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You're gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows, when it comes down to it, you’re gonna do the same for him! That’s a team, gentleman! And, either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals. That’s football guys. That's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?’

Maybe ‘the data’ tells them not to bother.

Christian Gross in at Spurs, for me.

The amount of modern footballers that can’t even swing their weaker leg is pathetic.

Friday, definitely, I would say.

Where’s @goozburger when you need him? But I’d estimate a total gate of around 16,000 by KO. But that’s with a late flurry, maybe even c15k. £30-£35 was a good idea for a midweek Sky game with minimal away support, wasn’t it…

True, only three of the starting XI on Saturday was an actual TM signing…

Every man and his dog tuning in on TV will be expecting a ‘massive crowd’… they will be soon scratching their head.

Well that’s certainly the ‘plan’, the ‘model’, we’ve been hearing about for a good while now, doing the actual ‘selling’ part of it seems to elude them though…

You been on Wiki? 😁

He was Greek. The Turks were a long way away from reaching Anatolia in the 4th century…

‘Form goes out the window in derbies’ is one of those lazy cliches. The team with the best players tend to win them… ergo why Everton have hardly beat Liverpool for about 25 years.

A lot of pros are initially gobbled up by Academies at 7 years old, so they never really get to be the fan in the stand and it’s a job to them.

You will never be ‘self sustaining’ in the Championship however many academy grads you sell.

If Lamps can keep getting a gig, then why not Rodgers.
