    Did you not have January to get a forward?

    Yup. Not sure what we’re debating here? Is this leading to something that will make us a great team and thus 24/25 a great premier season?

    That your managers **** and all of your problems are of his own making. Like not signing a forward in Jan rather than the leagues **** all of a sudden <wah>

    We’re completely in agreement here. And, in my opinion, that this very average team is the second best in the league is why 24/25 is a **** premier league

    Yes, looking like the derby is a goer!

    Will be my first.

    Ronnie Edwards got absolute pelters for QPR today!

    He's certainly not Prem standard, atm anyway.

    Yeah well neither are we tbf. Should be a good asset next season though.

    Looking forward to the derbies next season. Only had one in last 13 years so about time.

    Do you aways? Any chance of you joining the inevitable bubble?

    The odd one - not been easy getting tickets this year.

    Few of us stayed away and did Blackpool last year. Had tickets for Shrewsbury but was ill.

    Have done MK Dons, Cov and Wembley.

    Don't know how it works for you but we have a points system - the higher you are the earlier you have access to away tickets.

    I'm not doing too badly but still about 4th tier of access.

    Will do my absolute upmost to get an away ticket and, as I will be renewing my ST, I might stand more of a chance.

    You? You going you reckon?

    Yeah I'll almost certainly be going though I'm not looking forward to the bubble.

    Would suit me if the Fratton game is first as our aways reset at Christmas and it'll mean I won't need to do loads of aways to guarantee mine. Only missed four league ones this season and two I didn't qualify for.

    Okay - so yours is based on away loyaty?

    Not a bad way to do it - especially for a big match like the derby.

    Yeah just a count of away games but resets yearly at Christmas so the first half of next season will include this season's but after Christmas won't.

    Which is why I missed out on Bournemouth and Brentford early this season as I only carried 10 over which was less than half. Next season will have much more than half though which is why I'd prefer the Fratton game to be first.

    He’s been really good for us. Don’t think he did loads wrong defensively but was well off the standard with the ball he has been. Playing with a bloke who increasingly looks like someone’s dad stepping in for your Sunday league team doesn’t help I’m sure.

    True, he didn't do a lot wrong and he is young.

    Talking of young players, does Freddie Potts look like he'll be PL quality?

    That's a good question.

    He has been good for us this season - crucial really.

    Can he make the step up to Prem?

    I'm not sure - he's not ready yet I'd say, but he is only 21.

    He needs another season playing regularly at Championship level IMO.

    Then maybe.

    Pisses me off people leaving early.

    Medical emergency or something very important then yes - but leaving to beat the traffic?

    Fark off. Don't go.

    We have a percentage who leave early - even today when it was backs against the wall, game on the line, atmosphere rocking - and they leave.

    Arsenal fans leaving though - just a bit spoilt.
