    This is the shittest match thread ever...

    Thursday is going to be a disaster. Luckily Jim won't be at the game and the kids will put up a valiant effort in the hope that Luiz fucks off to Villa or something..

    Also we can only replace 3 players in the Europa match day squad once the group stages are over. It's going to be carnage..

    Chicago: Not really paying attention.

    Coming from you that's quite something, though obviously I used the second string writing team for Europe, even though they just aren't good enough.
    It's not funny having to use home grown kids.

    I just wanted to reference Jim's babysitting conundrum, which I presume hasn't been resolved?

    I've decided not to go. My dad is going to have my ticket I think as a thank you for helping out with child-sitting tomorrow - my boss has asked me to pop to London for the day but Mrs Shady is already away so I needed some help.

    You should see our family Google Calendar. It's an absolute monster with 100s of entries per month stopping our lives falling into chaos.

    So now you're grateful the club didn't let you buy them up front at a discount...

    I think you're getting confused with my suggestion that members and ST holders be given higher priority for the EL away games in the same way that away members with previous attendance are.

    Given I have paid £100 for a membership, and am then buying individual tickets for every game, I am a bit annoyed this discount is not being extended to me. ST holders are already getting a good deal - then this on top. It's as though getting a ST is a choice - it isn't for most people.

    Yadda yadda. Poor Jim. Ingo will be along in a minute ....

    If Jim's giving the Ferrncvaros ticket to his dad then wouldn't he still have wanted to buy it at the discount rate?

    Yes

    Though I never even mentioned a discount rate, I think Simon made that up

    Oh THAT discount. I'd forgotten all about that tbh. I thought you were on about the away games.

    This has been a great conversation.

    You are not far off page 3, a day before the game, decent work. At this stage you should award it to yourself. I do this sometimes, it helps with the ju ju. You can move it to Guru after the game when he goes the full BrumRed on Platt. You should never go the full BrumRed.
