That’s your choice. It’s no different to away games either. You don’t have to pay for things like food, a programme or potentially parking. Some people will look at as an opportunity to see class players. I don’t think it’ll be Spurs reserves at all, we’re a potential banana skin and shown last...

Yep, it’s an outrage and ‘something for nothing’ culture now. £20 for an U18 is a bit steep but what’s a ‘reasonable’ price for this game? £15? £10? £5? With it being a night game, there won’t be many U10s at the match anyway.

I used to take my brother to games when he was a child so I understand the costs involved. At the end of the day, Tottenham are a top 6 side so it’s a big draw. Prices will be as high as possible to maximise revenue and I don’t blame the club for that. With respect to Palace, they’re not as a...

It’s not been and gone at all as it’s not the kind of thing you fix over night. It’s a policy that requires continuous monitoring and policing. Look at how they’ve locked in people into buying certain category tickets for away games. Definitely cracking down on loopholes.

That’s up to QPR how they operate. Without the data to hand, DK has clearly identified fraud in the kids ticket prices that the club is trying to stamp out. Again, 20-25% of STHs being concessions was inflated and being abused. The club is trying to improve its commercial footing and the bigger...

Easy to do that when you’ve charged £85 for UCL tickets and play all the top teams once a season anyway. Tottenham is a big draw for us and for every person who can’t make it, I’m sure there will be day trippers who want to go.

We’re paying £37 to see Bristol and Watford away… of course this game v Spurs was going to be Cat A prices. £30 to watch a game of football just isn’t that much money when you take inflation into account. People want football clubs to spend millions on players yet moan when ticket prices are...

Fantastic post, sensible and the insights you seem to have is cause for optimism. If we were chasing a player playing in the UCL last season earlier in the window, I felt that we were going for a player of that calibre still. The issue is that they’re difficult deals to complete and as with...

Of the two, you’d take Stamenic too who played in the UCL last year… It’s a shame we missed out Browne and don’t blame him for being peeved off at being offered ‘a cuddle after sex’. Sunderland is a similar project to ours, but with respect, I think we’ll finish above them comfortably (again)...

We should just hand them the trophy now… 🙄

Which makes some of the comments about Rudoni seem even more ridiculous. He’s 4 years younger than COH and imo, will end up being the better player. His first half performance against Oxford in the league was quality. Our attacking talent are struggling atm because we’re not controlling the...

In 7 years we’ve gone from scrapping the dregs of the transfer market signing Yakubh, Stephen Hunt, Darius Henderson and so on… to spending 10s of millions of pound on players. You don’t get there by having poor recruitment. People are judging far too much on 4 games. Every year we get off to a...

The Bassette transfer showed that we were operating a ‘best available’ transfer policy. Midfield is a difficult area to sign for and the obvious candidates to bring are out of our price range. We know of 2 high quality targets that slipped our grasp and we don’t know what else went on. Had...

Agreed, I‘m sure many of us expected Sheaf to go. The only reason COH left was because it was on a free and outside of our control. Agreed. The ‘intangibles’ can’t be neglected either. Even in the 2022/23 season, as great as Vik and Hamer were, Kelly and McFadz were just as important. Every...

James would be brought in on a 4th choice basis. Which is pretty impressive. Eccles in particular would thrive having James alongside him rather than Torp imo, and vice versa. We need to take the burden off Sheaf too. When he plays, he’s 82 mpg on average, Eccles is playing 73 mpg. Having a...

It’s not a Pep thing, I remember us defending corners this way since Coleman and Boothroyd. This thing about leaving 1-2 players up top is something the fans feel good about. In reality, the likelihood of clearing the ball and a forward getting onto it and then scoring from it is low. Keeping...

He’d do both Torp and Eccles a world of good. Robins put it quite accurately that our press was off - I don’t think either Eccles or Torp are capable of ‘leading’ that midfield area. Certainly not as well as Sheaf.

Compare our squad from 22/23 to the current one and you should have your answer. Unequivocally, it’s been good. We don’t know the ins and outs but if we couldn’t identify the ‘right’ player at the right price, then it’s perhaps best we wait it out. James as a placeholder signing wouldn’t be...

The ‘meta’ seems to be for teams to pack the box with all there players. Not many teams leave anyone up nowadays. The issue, in my view, was was a failure of organisation. To use an example, if McFadz was playing I’d assume he’d be talking to get people out pushing out. The worry going into...

Yes. Even the Oxford goal (first one), Simms was a scapegoat for many on here. If Binks wins a header in the box, it doesn’t lead to Simms poor touch and the goal. There’s just too much indecision and/or disorganisation in the box. Ironically, I felt more at ease watching the Bristol cup game...
