Summary:

Can't say I'm familiar enough with the EFL rules to judge whether that is a reasonable benchmark.

Was that a red? Looked harsh from the stands

They can only be in one wallet at any time but you should be able to remove them from the wallet, forward the email and someone else add them.

It isn't that simple though, especially with a young squad, new to this country, new to this league. You build a team around experienced solid performers. Hence a strong spine down the middle. We screwed up badly with hindsight, not keeping, or buying a couple of leaders on the pitch. I suspect, al...

It looks like it's an NFC ticket so it's not a barcode or qr you can print, you have to add it to your wallet and hold your phone to the reader.

Actually it does have a qr but only in the wallet so you can't snapshot it.

Honestly what makes you come to that conclusion? Take last year out of the picture. This season alone, be it man management, tactics, in-game decisions. What has he done that makes you think he'll have a decent management career at a pretty high level? His name alone will give him time and job opps...

Will we be spared ten pages of people judging it before it’s even been released this time?

I hear there's going to be a back alley and some cobbled streets on it so I would like to register my early disgust at that.

aggi

For the opposite approach it's interesting to follow Andy Holt (Stanley owner) on twitter.

He's very open and it's interesting to read but I'm not sure whether airing all that he does is positive for the club or not.

As good a manager as he is, I can’t see Dyche lasting much longer. As we’ve seen on this board of late, it’s very difficult to please the modern day fan and Everton fans are a tough crowd at the best of times. The Everton fans I know are just enjoying a bit of stability and pragmatism under Dyche, ...

aggi

Really? Potter has proved himself to be an excellent premier league manager. No one has managed to get a tune out of Chelsea so he can’t be judged on that. Excellent may be pushing it. Until Potter left, Brighton were underperforming their xG consistently. It took a new manager coming in to push th...

Above post was a joke of course, before it gets taken as too seriously..... I feel all Sean Dyche in a press conference now that I've confirmed that.

It was pretty obvious. We all know you've never drunk a pint of bitter in your life

On one of my trips to NY I went to watch New York City FC in the Yankees stadium. Particularly weird as it was the club's first ever game, a really bizarre atmosphere.

I've only been into any Walmarts in Texas and Nevada and nothing, my brother lives in Wisconsin so I'll ask him if he's seen any up that way - he's never mentioned it and knowing how anti-gun he is I'm sure he would have done. It must vary by state as you say. Where do you live aggi ? I'm in London...

aggi

Never seen anything gun related in a single supermarket or generic sports store. The ONLY non gun shop place I've seen a gun in was Bass Pro Shops in the hunting section - but they absolutely has AR15's etc. You can't just go in and buy one from those stores though, they do (for what they are worth...

aggi

I reckon in the 15 years I've been here I've probably been in 40+ grocery stores, not once have I seen a single 'gun' related item let alone ammo in any of them.......and that includes 6.5 years living in Texas !!! Doesn't Walmart sell ammo? It may be limited by state but it definitely used to and ...

Some sound information so far thanks. How do you go about getting insurance for a car here when you aren't sure of which car you'll get, and certainly the reg number? It's car hire excess insurance you're getting. It's basically insurance against being charged by the car hire company, not insurance...

I don't read red tops, or any other newspaper for that matter. I live close enough to and travel regularly enough into London and the smell of cannabis is omnipresent. Maybe not on the scale of NYC (this will be my first visit so i can't comment yet) but it is certainly one of the most pervasive ar...

Lots of places closed down since I last went pre-covid. https://www.eataly.com/us_en/new-york-city has some decent Italian options including the rooftop bar at Flatiron. https://thedeadrabbit.com/ for expensive drinks https://mothersruinnyc.com/ for not as expensive drinks https://www.legends33.com/...

Hi all, I'm looking to rent a car abroad and I have come across Kayak. Have any of you had experience with them, and are they any good? TIA Kayak have been around for years, they're owned by booking.com. They're just an agent and the booking will be with a specific hire firm. I normally tick collec...

I enjoyed the Payton episode. Interesting contrast to the Duff one and the difference in the two eras of football not that far apart.

Just seen it on MOTD. Was nowhere near the blatant foul people are making out on here. Embarrassing blaming the officials because we make schoolboy errors every week.

That's what I thought. Was looking for something blatant but seemed a bit of nothing.

https://twitter.com/AndyhHolt/status/1756199906287448305?t=Xsr-PsMAZpQrmoRxUO0EqQ&s=19 I don't think Burnley are sounding like the good guys on here. I don't think that's specifically aimed at Burnley. They're just an illustration of a club that has spent more time in the football league than premi...

aggi

No of course. But a world class passer would get a lot further in the game. Tackling itself isnt the skill, its reading the game and anticipating where the ball's going to go so you can intercept. World class players dont get tackled very often. Pep also famously said he never practices tackling, i...

aggi

Well it does if you read the rest of what i said. Well that's a speculative the amount of change was fine, it was just the wrong change. Obviously it's hard to tell but going from a team with 100+ points in the Championship to this position suggests that something is the problem. It's not unusual t...

aggi

The amount of change has been absolutely fine, just a bit unbalanced and lacking physicality needed for this level (which we’ve clearly gone to rectify in Jan). If we had these 3 signings since the start we’d be over 20 points right now. Absolutely fine doesn't really tally with 3 wins and 13 point...

I'm not sure who I trust the most between the conspiracy theorists and the people who believe everything they are told by the national media. The world would seem much less deranged if the sensible people in the middle were more outspoken than the half wits on either side, as seen on this thread It...

aggi

Well yes...and no. Obviously it was just a recent example, and I can't pinpoint a day in time where someone said "this is a conspiracy theory". But logic and evidence suggests that's exactly how it was treated. For example Postmaster X is charged but says he did nothing wrong. The community then os...

I don't know the set up of the Scottish league system, but rangers dropped more than one league I think forest would have to get rid of the big earners, Everton would be dependent on whether the takeover goes ahead or not. Rangers was very different. They went bust and are technically a whole new c...

Is it just me who thinks you'd be better throwing the food for them before offering up your leg for them to bite?

aggi

Just making a point here that I'm sure most people will recognise. You know that Post Office thing that's been in the news a bit recently, do you know what that was once branded as? Yep you've got it- A conspiracy theory. Being easily lead and lacking capacity to make an informed decision could lea...

Have we genuinely got more than one person on this board who thinks there is a global conspiracy led by Bill Gates?

Is George Soros still popular for this kind of thing or has Bill Gates now overtaken him post-covid?

I don't think we have ever complained once that the club don't engage with the podcast. In fact the club have engaged - the head of women's football has been on as a guest as has the women's team manager. We've simply said that Bobby Ball is welcome on the show anytime. And indeed he is. I doubt he...

aggi

It is a good listen - it’s like listening to a group in the pub after a game The one thing that does annoy me though is the constant calling of Russell Ball “Bobby”. I appreciate it’s said in jest but you keep saying you want members of the board/ALk to come on, and should they listen to any of the...

If we hadn't got promoted last season we would have had £20-30 million less parachute money. We'd have lost Tella, Beyer, THB and Maatsen with less money to replace. Cork, Barnes and Jay Rod would have been 34 years old.... A board teetering on the edge with so much debt unless we had a very good s...

aggi

For all the excitement around Beyer and Al Dakhil (and the improvement that Ekdal made when not playing) O'Shea has probably been our best defender this season. He's improved a lot as he's settled but the others haven't got to that stage yet.

aggi

I'm just wondering if we fail to get promoted next season if we are relegated this season what are the implications if any the following year with the debt we have acquired could it be disastrous for a club of our size on and off the pitch... I don't think one failed season would be too much of an ...

aggi

I think the thing that riles most fans is that VK has tried every single player in the squad to come up with a winning combination,every single one of them apart from Trafford has been dropped/rested ,even Sean Dyche had a light bulb moment when finally decided that Joe Hart even though an ex Engla...

aggi

It's always weird reading this thread before seeing the goals. I was expecting some absolute clangers from some of the comments. Instead there's some instances where a number of players cock up but it's judged by some to be all Trafford's fault. I'm not a huge fan of Trafford, I think we should have...

aggi

You'll never win anything with kids.... That's the perfect illustration. Their main back line that season was Schmeichel, Neville, Bruce, Pallister and Irwin. An experienced, solid foundation which lets you blood the young players with a lower risk. The algorithms say you can make more money by buy...

aggi

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, I didn't notice it but I didn't really venture into the massive transfer thread. So this window we've signed two 21 year olds and a 23 year old. Although I'm not against a decent number of young players I'm not convinced it's what we needed this window. ...

aggi

^^^^ By my reckoning though various investors need £202m in total to breakeven. That involves some remaining pre takeover shareholders, the club itself, and various external investors including maybe ALK themselves. As you note in earlier posts the whole financial picture seems to be deliberately k...

aggi

^^^^ 3 years of ALK. Crunch could be within another 3 years. Likely relegated this season, then parachute payments, bfc need to get back to PL fairly quickly for any chance of ALK or various lenders not losing money. For them to actually make money, seems to me very difficult. Stay in the Premier L...

Sadly that has now been turned into a gym. I miss it every time I walk past.

Decent service from Norwood Junction to London Bridge - we've usually used that route. The other option is Selhurst station, both about the same distance away and I think that goes into Victoria. Thornton Heath is also about the same distance (on the same line as Selhurst but the stop before) and h...

Simon appeared focussed on the walk away at nil cost/obligation. The club's debts, whatever the reason for coming into being are the club's and future buyer's responsibility. The repayment of the £115m would enable the club to clear those debts and return itself to its early December 2020 cash hold...

aggi

The number explicitly refers to the publicly stated debt ALK/VSL have with the club and what they have spent on shares in the club. The club's external debt is not a factor in the answer I provided or the question asked. They said "clear our debts" which I assume is referring to the football club's...

aggi

Break even on shares bought and debt to the club is around £180m - £190m I'm not sure if it would be this much now. The club has effectively paid off a fair chunk of that purchase price when they partially repaid the loans used to fund it. Of course we don't know if there have been further loans or...

What’s it like getting back into central London on the train after? Is it as painful as getting away from Brighton, or are the trains more regular? Thinking Norwood Junction. Not too bad from what I remember. There's not as many people heading that way and there are two separate lines nearby (Thorn...
