It's just a mate thing. My mate gave me the ticket. Our joint mate who is traveling with us is well more desperate to get in than me so I thought I'd give it to him, but my mate who gave me the ticket said, nah it's for you and you alone. So I feel shit on joint mate as I'd have given him it, he knows that I was on the lookout for one for him before me, but now I can't really say why he can't have the ticket without pointing at my other mate and saying he wants me to go and that's that. Silly I know. Pete is calling me a nobhead, but it's doing my head in. Anyways, I've just thought up a perfect white lie that sorts it all

That’s a shit situation but you have to take the ticket.
 
@Sheik Yerbouti i agree it’s shit that fans that go week in week out year after year and often decade after decade will miss out.

But that’s just the way it works in every sport and ultimately people are self serving first.

If I got a ticket I’d be hard pushed to give it up outside of giving it to a handful of people on here.

Would be interesting to do what Australia does for the AFL grand final where a certain number of seats are kept for season ticket holders to queue up on the day(or before)

There should just be a proper allocation for the fans. It's a scandal that ST holders who've been to every CL home game should struggle for tickets.

It's a disgrace.

That's simply too high a figure (as you'd have to give the same amount to Spurs). What is a disgrace is the number of tickets allocated to UEFA's sponsors and cohorts.

There should be a minimum stadium capacity North of 80,000 for a final of this stature though.

There can't be much more than 20k ST holders who've been to every home CL game.

Even if not all of them got a final ticket, it should still be 80% or so.
 
Didn’t answer the question. The whole squad is being paid the same. That’s why their wage bill appears so low.
 
Most older players now get many of their badges whilst playing just in case they want to move into management or coaching. You only need a certain level to be a manager, you can then get the rest whilst working within a certain time frame, or at least that's what I think I read a while back.

So what's involved in getting a badge? I mean practical experience is surely part of it? I thought players had to be an understudy somewhere as part of their qualifications. Seems I was wrong.

They’d have done classroom sessions with the English/Welsh FA and practical sessions with the youth setup.
 
I'm loving the media going to town on City's celebrations here. They've played it pretty well.

Option 1 was start making digs during the season but that leaves it open for City to win and get 'revenge' on the media
Option 2 - wait until their games are done and piss all over their parade

I reckon Pep wants out

I think he's also not stupid - he knows all this attention isn't good, and there's as good a chance it blows up (i.e. things are found out) as that it all blows over.
He's not a risk taker in that sense - as we know he only takes easy jobs (like Juventus next perhaps?) - so maybe he'll jump ship ... It would devastate some of his fans here, but that club and sponsor can go fuck themselves.
 
If a huge shit storm is heading to the emptyhad he will be off. There would be no better time than now to take over Juventus.
 
And if he did have some form of offshore payment in the works you can almost guarantee he will cancel it and bail now that he knows there are people everywhere searching that kind of thing out.
