    Yeah ripping your own fans off is a real ****y move.

    Thing is, if you sort someone out with a ticket at FV/ less there's a chance it can work in your favour in various ways, the favour could be returned one day or you make a mate out of it.

    Happened with us about 5 years back, me and my mates had tickets for West Brom away, one of the lads broke their collarbone the week before the game so had to sell his match and train ticket. Another mate advertised it on a Spurs group on Twitter or Facebook and we got a buyer almost immediately, he came with us on the day out and ended up becoming a brilliant mate. Been away with him three times, he got a ST when the new stadium opened so comes all home games with us, worked out perfectly in the end, even it did need one of us to break their collarbone in order to meet him <laugh>

    This <ok>

    Too many ****s out there trying to milk situations for their own gain. And for what ? A few quid and you also earn the title of **** for free.

    sounds cliched, but a good deed is its own reward. Plus like you say, there’s usually some unexpected good that comes from it too.

    Was just thinking this, is he going to vastly improve thier defence, strange buy for me was expecting koubaily (however its spelt) hefty fee too, plus didn't Ake leave Chelsea to play games, Hardy a guarantee of getting loads of them at city either imo.

    Saying that city may well still get koubaily the funds are endless<laugh>

    Yep. When I was lucky enough to get a ticket for Fratton the day before the match last year the person only charged me face value, as it's simply the right thing to do.

    Could have got a **** load more too, I met people on the train who'd paid 200 quid upwards for the ticket compared to the 17 quid or whatever it was. But they didn't as they're not a ****, and it's just not the thing you do to a fellow fan anyway imo.

    Ake did wonders for Bournemouth's defence, didn't he? It's probably a bit unfair to judge him on that, but still.

    Sometimes a player is just better than what's around him. He does what he can but the rest of the team are ****...


    Look at Bruno at united

    Bruno is crap. He's just Fred with a stupid penalty run up.

    Better news for us but it’s a piss take that Wigan go down and Wednesday have the chance to play in the Championship next season.

    Couldn't agree more. Wigan ****ed over by timescales as well as a scumbag owner.

    Not sure how this decision is going to discourage other clubs from doing the same. They’ve been under investigation since last November, surely the points deduction should be for this season.

    Christ, I knew it was a while but didn't realise it was as long as November.

    But yeah other clubs will look and think get yourselves promoted and you've gotten away with it.

    They’ve only got away with it, if they improve markedly next season. As they’d have finished bottom with that deduction this season.
