Question for anybody who has purchased a half season ticket before, do you get the option to 'renew' in April / pay for a full season ticket?

I'm curious if the club emails me again now I haven't renewed my ST?

I didn't renew mine, for the first time in 13 odd years. just not been enjoying it, but hoping a year away and I get excited about going to AG again for 25/26...

Didn't he win Argentina the world cup with the same sort of antics ?

yep but this was quite a trigger happy ref and it was very obvious he was close to booking him again!

I bet Villa's keeper didn't know the rule. Great pen keeper but what an absolute clown. Could have cost them everything!!

Can't go wrong on King St if you stray into town...

I wish Southgate would at least try in one friendly palmer, saka and foden behind Kane with Bellingham next to rice. Lose a bit dropping Bellingham back but gain so much more with palmer on the field instead of another DM...

fairly poor I thought, just that most decisions went in our favour!

stopped the game for a ball the gut, didn't stop the game when one of ours got a boot to the head and went down? 

not a brilliant display, but we got the run of the green for sure

Not sure how that 11 lines up?

Back 4 with Tanner at CB, the ol Xmas tree fm, or same formation as midweek, with Sykes LWB??

Liverpool fans preparing to stage a mass protest at 2% ST price increases..... 

I've been watching Man City v Real... after the manic opening it's just annoying watching the play acting, and sad to see Spain turning Jude into a total cheating injury feigning diving so and so...  may switch to Arsenal game for second half...

Isn't that corner a foul to Leicester? Similar moves led to VAR not giving goals in prem? Defender pushed out of way to clear space??

PL darts but bloody hell... bull, 25, bull for a 125 checkout. Littler...

Surely as part of their due diligence, Newcastle would have identified this issue from his time in Italy, and tried to help the player once they signed him?

that game was mad!

I've been hooked on the IPL since lockdown...

RR playing today, also my team, though mainly as they are named after my local curry house

I like the look of the away kit, as modelled by Saka, but it's a misleading picture... the messy side panels are gopping:

would have looked so much better if it was simple / clean, as it appears in the Saka pic

Manning and BT out before ST renewal deadline please!!

watching the FA cup games this weekend, god I yearn for that sort of passion and excitement for a City game, last time was probably the league cup run!

I'm not sure having brief spells in the top flight in the last 30 years makes a club "not dull".

Reading are a dull club in a dull town with a dull stadium and could yet drop into the bottom division. 

What we are, is the consistently most underperforming club in the land, given some of the advantages we should have. 

maybe a brief spell in the top flight doesn't make you 'not dull', but it's the journey to get there and the promotion(s) before it that I envy...

I've had a season ticket 12 or 13 years and the highlight was promotion from L1 (and the cup run under LJ). One and a half seasons out of 12. Meh.

Been 3 or 4 times snowboarding, I love the place... no idea what it's like in May, but had some mental times at la folie douce, and love a good raclette

Which is quite impressive when margins are so fine, and the impact of dehydration on performance is well documented.

yep, I can't question anybodies religion, but I have been very worried about health when managing workers on site observing ramadan!!!

3 classic cup ties this weekend 

Drama and entertainment.

yep, for all their quality, I can't ever get too excited watching Man City... just like Pep's Barcelona. Bores me.

Liverpool were coasting. Klopp brought a fair few youngsters on for experienced pros and they seemed to lose their way. If i was a Liverpool fan i would be fuming with him.

yep, I can't understand making subs that weaken your team when you're 1 goal away from ET... 

but I've just enjoyed a great game with over 50 shots... makes it all the harder watching Manning ball... 

(but we won our cup final, we beat Southampton!)!

I could be wrong but aren`t Muslim professional athletes given special dispensation to eat/drink during Ramadan? I believe it was for health reasons.

yes they are, there are a number of reasons / allowances, but he has chosen to fast I believe. Refusing liquids even
