Weirdest one I can recall is running around Central Park in NYC one morning with a Cov training top on and someone shouting "SKY BLUE ARMY" at me... totally knocked me off my pace :LOL: .

I like Rob & he holds a special place in the heart of a lot of us because of all he's been through with Coventry back in the good/bad old days. I also enjoy much of the debates, arguments and teasing between him, Clive & Oggy. I get annoyed at Clive a lot for getting names wrong (almost any...

I don't think so, to be honest. Their progress in the CL is vitally important to them - they'd have played him if he was fit.

Yeah, once you consider the eventual fee Sporting might receive, calculate the % profit and convert back to GBP - it's a good chunk of change for nowt (e.g not needing to sell one of our own players) but I don't think it's comparable to the sort of money we'll likely be offered for Wright, MVE...

Basically a complete sell out at this point - a mere rounding error away from a total one: ⬆️ North 5,262 of 5,271 - 100% tickets sold or unavailable ➡️ East 9,485 of 9,487 - 100% tickets sold or unavailable ⬇️ South 2,495 of 2,496 - 100% tickets sold or unavailable ⬅️ West 2,676 of 2,679 -...

Nice - Is there an updated version of that map?

⬆️ North 5,183 of 5,271 - 98% tickets sold or unavailable ➡️ East 9,437 of 9,487 - 99% tickets sold or unavailable ⬇️ South 2,478 of 2,496 - 99% tickets sold or unavailable ⬅️ West 2,220 of 2,220 - 100% tickets sold or unavailable 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Family 3,178 of 3,179 - 100% tickets sold or unavailable...

Agreed. I've been on all sides of this equation as interviewer, hirer and interviewee - if there's any disagreement among the hiring panel - normally what happens is the most senior person will listen to all sides and then make the final decision themselves. This is ordinary.

I don't know that Utd have the funds but if they did Amorim would surely have to sweet talk him into giving up other potential Prem (and CL) opportunities. This is his season to get that move though, I am not sure anyone will pay the sort of money Sporting are looking for as he ages.

Keep in mind there are likely blocks or sections of blocks that are "unavailable" because they're not on sale yet, but here's the scores on the doors: ⬆️ North 3,054 of 5,271 - 58% tickets sold or unavailable ➡️ East 8,553 of 9,487 - 90% tickets sold or unavailable ⬇️ South 2,045 of 2,496 - 82%...

Not a chemtrail in sight... or is there? 🤔

This feels like PR from his management, honestly! Very shrewd.

I recall him making statements that were pretty clear about the Premiership in his last year with us, so not massively surprised if that quote is accurate - he's always shown himself to be incredibly ambitious and Sporting know they really are a stepping stone for the elite talents... remains to...

For Sheaf? Maybe - I had a suspicion mid-way through the summer that perhaps nothing else was going to happen until a big player moved and I felt Sheaf was at the apex of his valuation with us. The model we have would be to presumably aim to sell at that apex, for any/all players. That said...

As with all conspiracy theories you've taken 2+2 and made eleventy billion. Doug is modernising the club top to bottom, right? He's made an investment and he wants to see a return. With or without Robins at the helm in the first place he'd be doing that, the idea that this is some grand plan to...

Vik moving now would completely torpedo Sporting's season or make it very hard for them in the domestic and Champions League. Very little chance this happens. Vik will get a LOT of games in the new format CL so I imagine folks will be watching carefully and if he performs well January window...

We've got how many first team coaches now... serious but ignorant question - why do we need a leader on the pitch?

I'm an idiot, I missed them: 1999/00 £17.3M (9th highest spend) 2000/01 £13.4M (12th highest spend) I'll update the original post

That's just one game - I think generally speaking - the guy worked extremely hard most games, all game. He played when injured, he still plays when injured now - and he wants to play the entire game. I think that's pretty special.

Interesting thread from Kieran Maguire charting Premiership spend since the inception: 1992/93 £0.3M (21st highest spend) 1993/94 £0.9M (20th highest spend) 1994/95 £4.8M (11th highest spend) 1995/96 £6.2M (14th highest spend) 1996/97 £5.6M (16th highest spend) 1997/98 £5.3M (17th highest...
