I believe the rules on spending are different (i.e. more loose) in the lower Leagues so with the right influx of cash any team should be able to advance but once you get to the Championship it's a whole different gravy.
As said, if they don't get promoted this or next season (even that may be too long for the must-have-everything-now world we live in) the interest could indeed wain with natural consequences in regards to sponsors, players they can attract etc. |

That, to be fair, is comedy gold!
I do find this circus surrounding Wrexham a bit OTT but then I have to remind myself that was us once (although in a different manner). |

Sorry, but I'm sick & tired of hearing how something that happened to someone in the past is somehow an excuse. Boo-hoo, life's a cnt. We've all had stuff happen to us.
Infantino has recently being saying he was bullied as a kid.... so? does that give him the right to treat everyone else like schit? It's just a poor excuse IMO.
I was bullied as a kid, had a torrid time, but I don't go around all entitled and treating everyone else like schit because of it.
Quite the opposite and I instil in my own kids who are now growing up that I will 100% support them if they retaliate due to being bullied but I'll come down on them like a ton of bricks if they initiate bullying.
These footballers have £millions. They can hire a driver, then can get the best help/support available but no, they choose to jump in a car and inhale a schitload of stuff then drive off. Sympathy? Bollox to that. |

We all hate it when we feel hard done by. Wasn't boro's goal on Saturday offside? (I've not actually seen it but seen comments it was) but he acts like he's the only one it happens to.
Yes, decisions like that could get a manager sacked (see Graham Taylor's comment to a ref many years ago) further down the line as a result as a series of negative results but he's an absolute over-dramatic melt. |

Here we go again.... it's going to be a long season on here.
Every time we don't win a game it'll be"the wrong starting XI, the wrong tactics, the wrong subs" and so on. Comments you generally don't get when a game is won.
As I've illustrated many times on here, in order to win more games than you draw & lose, you'll need to finish top 5. Anyone finishing under top 5 will draw & lose more games than they win and from this season that'll easily get you into the play off.
Same when we conceded first, especially in the first 20 mins or so..... cue meltdown despite there still being 70+ minutes of the game to go. |

That’s a good point about memories. The last few have all been samey… pool/beach/water slide and they’ve all blurred into one.
Salou in ‘22 maybe as me and my son went to a Barcelona game and got to see the Nou Camp before it’s renovation plus my son was wearing the newly released QPR claret & blue Barca-esque away shirt.
The only recent-ish holiday I have strong memories of was Kyrgyzstan in 2015. Quite an experience as my son was only 9 months old (and was and has always been a brilliant ‘flyer’ on planes) and I got to see quite an extraordinary country. [Post edited 29 Aug 17:22]

I’ve never really understood XG. From the BBC sport app at half time possession was fairly even but we had two shots on target to their none, more shots overall yet the XG was something like 1.4 to them and just 0.1 to us. The only thing they had more of was touches in our penalty area but that doesn’t necessarily equal/guarantee goals. |

I wasn’t in Benidorm. ‘Benidorm’ was used in reference to characters on the TV show. We were in the Canaries though.
I did enjoy it as it was me and the kids and my observations were just that, observations, none of it actually affected me, just interested in observing. I started the thread whilst waiting in the airport to come home and the flight was delayed and it was interesting to see how some people were behaving (I.e arguing with the airport staff as if it was their fault there was a 45 minute delay) and it got me thinking about the broader behaviour in general over the previous week.
The holiday was booked through a well known family holiday company and it was done so for what the kids wanted and they really enjoyed themselves.
I kept away from the rip-off excursions (such as a waterpark where you spend more time queuing, basically a wet Thorpe Park, than actually engaging) so took them on a boat trip instead and we got to see dolphins and they had great fun launching themselves off the boat via the trapeze swing once we got closer to shore.
As they get older I’ll certainly be looking at other options just for the variety as all-inclusive family resorts get a bit samey and they will grow out of it I’m sure which is when other options will serve good purpose. [Post edited 29 Aug 16:14]

Average attendance in the SPL is 18k but that is skewed by the OF.
Take those two out and it drops to 11k, that’s 1k more than the EFL League One, which itself was bolstered by Bolton, Cardiff and Bradford who all had an excellent season.
Exactly half of the SPL is under 11k as it is so if the fans supported those clubs to get the figures up to between 11 and 18k instead of coach loads going to OF games each week, would it make the SPL more competitive by virtue of more income and better players? Also we’d need to take into account that the OF would then need to drop attendance figures and therefore income too. So, the SPL itself may then become more competitive but I doubt that would have any effect in Euro competitions?

When I was young free and single I most certainly did but it’s not so easy with kids. |

As me and the kids sit here waiting to board our delayed flight back to the UK it’s given me time to think of things (people mainly) that I’ve noticed during our week break in a family resort;
- English people really don’t know how to conduct themselves, no wonder the ‘brits abroad’ have a bad reputation
- Never seen such a large collection of broccoli-boys hair cuts
- Most of the teen boys look like they’re about to drive the wrong way along a motorway
- ‘Benidorm Grans’ can’t hold their drink and cackle at 110db
- All inclusive food & drink is consumed as though their life depends on it.
- it’s a family holiday, why are you swearing like a trooper in front of not only your kids but everyone else’s too
- All the English kids wearing Barcelona, R Madrid, Bayern, Munich, Inter Miami shirts and all the non English kids wearing Man Ciy, Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal etc 😵💫
- There’s always at least one family who are obnoxious, entitled, loud, complaining, aggressive (kids too) and generally a right pain in the butt
- Nothing wrong with wearing nice clothes but you really, really don’t need to wear a ball gown for dinner. It’s a Jet2/TUI holiday, not the Ritz
- Nicest people I met were from Wales or the North East, Yorkshire people… time to clean up your act unless you revel in the Millwall-esque “No one likes us, we don’t care…” act.
- The hotel has ‘cup bins’ every few yards for you to put your solid plastic cups in so they are easier to collect and be washed ready for quick re-use rotation but noooo, that’s far too difficult, much easier to just leave them by the poolside along with all your other crap.
- Hotel staff are saints putting up with this all summer long
Might start looking at alternatives next year now the kids are growing up!
Anyone else got any observations/experiences from this summer?

I was at the Fiorentina game and very impressed with his distribution. Forget what happened c Millwall, as is often said… there’s no hiding place for goalies and rarely any opportunity for mistakes to get cleaned up by others as happens with outfield players. |

Staggering isn’t it.
“Ah, but multiply than by 250,000 people a day and that’s 3.75m minutes a day saved” we’re told.
Does it really work like that?? Is the cost, the time, the destruction, the other things lost that the money could have been spent up really all worthwhile? |
