No we shouldn’t .

A - We’re too nice .

B - Punishment doesn’t fit the crime .
NO I don’t think it should be worse .

consider it this way - each league has an odious club - the Scottish Premiership have Celtic - the English Premier League have Arsenal and the Championship have Southampton - own it
 
I think because it's a weekend and it's classed as off peak you can use it as many times as you like for something like £12 for zones 1-4(that's all I'll need including a trip to Victoria Bus Station to get home) but Heathrow is zone 6 so it's maybe a Fiver or so more for all day?

It was just info to show you don't need to buy (£10 non refundable) visitors oyster card to use the underground, spoke to a few foreigners who had been caught out.


The Heathrow thing was just to highlight that not all lines are the same price, I presume the heathrow express costs even more.

For me, Saints are a very good team. Leaving all the current charges to one side, they are on an amazing run and the reality is, even though we have beaten them twice, with their consistency, they are more than likely to beat us under normal circumstances. If the game goes ahead this is still the case.

Yeah,I've never bought an oyster card and didn't know they charged £10 either...

I just buy one of those off peak tickets with unlimited use,seems the cheapest way if you're moving around a bit.

Our players heads will NOT be as calm as normal , no matter who the manager is .

Even our messiah …

Its about heroes Phil.... not ego's...
 
Let’s say the EFL just throw the book at them i.e. expulsion from the final, massive points deduction for next season and a hefty fine. Could the EFL then negotiate reducing the points deduction for next season or suspending it so long as Southampton waive their right to appeal the expulsion?

League form doesn’t matter. Our form at new Wembley is far superior.

I don’t think such an agreement is lawful?

I'm not overly convinced about that...

If things go ahead as planned,you come out of it relatively unscathed.Your Club,players,staff and fans will be rejuvenated and breathing a huge sigh of relief that they haven't been kicked out?

I'm not sure what decision is likely to come out of this as it's immeasurable against any precedent gone before but it's fair to say the quicker the better for everyone's sake and in Hull City's case it's preferable if we know who we are playing ASAP.

For London jobs we just bought an Oyster Card and topped it up every job, get a receipt and claim back off Head Office.

Just wave your contactless bank card and the system sorts out all the zone peak / off peak stuff and charges you (hopefully) the right amount.
 
Shows what a sporting team City are, I've seen us do that loads of times over the years.

Based on what I saw when buying, I'd say the Cat 1 tickets will be gone today. I'm rarely impressed by anything football authorities do (presuming the EFL set ticket prices), but the Over 65 discount being as high as 50% surprised me. That's an extra packet of Werthe

I’m in front of both of you stood up with the rabble <cheers>
Not dissimilar to our view from MKM seat?

Did they beat us under "normal circumstances" earlier in the season? Yeah yeah form etc but it means nothing here.

In fact form means nothing ever where City are concerned!
