Would you?

Premier league referee’s are the lowest paid referees from the top 5 leagues. Still a decent salary but under half of their la liga counterparts.

Should see the size of my washing machine.

Next time I’m away with work, I’ll try and think twice before buying anymore and keep in mind you and your Nans scarf, if it makes you feel any better?

Probably have 250-300 shirts, including all city kits. The money was never important, the excitement on my lads face not knowing which kit he was going to get and then watching him wear it to training/kick abouts, was more than worth it. They are in boxes for my memories more than anything, picking up a shirt the size of a car air freshener now and remembering how much he loved them at the time.

I do the same now for my lad. He no longer wears them but it’s like a tradition, wherever I’ve been for work or pleasure, I’ll always bring him back the local shirt. I’ve got boxes full of random teams in the loft.

Being economical with the truth. Just like you were about the stewards….. and your son and the female police officer, right?

There is your answer.

Alex a doubt for Saturday after picking up a knock in training. It’s hard not to be slightly suspicious. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/alex-scott-bristol-city-transfer-8651931

Get back under your rock. You have to be blind to not see new kit releases are huge part of pre season for every club. I no longer care much for kits because my lad is now at an age where he doesn’t want to wear them but to say you don’t understand why others would find it a big deal is pretty ignorant but of course, not a surprise.

Great read and great summary of our pre-season. @Davefevs ??

Love to see it and another prospect from St Bernadette

No offence taken. I worked at one of the businesses involved. Like I said, my memory of exact amounts isn’t that great but was no less than 7000 for Saturday fixtures. Less for midweek matches. The same company produced the Bears and Birmingham’s programmes as well. This was around 2016-17.

As you say paper prices have gone through the roof but it’s not just the cost of paper and print, it’s the finishing as well. The programme was PUR bound and not stitched(stapled), plus the cover was matte laminated which all adds up. I can’t remember exact figures but there were roughly around 8000ish produced for Saturday games and were often 72 pages plus cover.

At this point I couldn’t care less what colour our away and third kits are… blue or otherwise. I just want them to fit properly and not look like Nige dumps a big kit bag in the middle of the changing room and hands out the shirts while naming the starting team.

Nah not yet, not for me anyway. Thought Williams made some good runs and linked well with Mehmeti.

Unfortunately for the president and for PSG, they don’t have a say. They can of course, not play him next season but he has a contract and if he’s not willing to move, to guarantee a free to Madrid next season and pick up a loyalty bonus, there is nothing PSG can do.

RIP Ady.

Bit of light entertainment. I won’t spoil the result.
