I really doubt it. i don't , i've seen the clamour for Beckham back in the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 But Jack Grealish is an absolute nobody in World Terms. He played for a small club and hasn't won any significant trophies. It's nothing Beckham at Man Utd. He also made little impact at the Euros so won't have raised his profile there either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I think Grealish is good enough to play for an elite club, but he's not an improvement on Sterling or Silva. If he looked like Luke Chadwick they wouldn't have went above £40m for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wee nephew, 7 years old, lives in Falkirk... little dickhead....last season he gets a Liverpool top for his birthday(his Birthday in early May so handy for glory hunting), then this season I see a picture of him in a Man City top. I was seething ("ye cannae change yer team!!!") until the wife reminded me he's just a wee boy. To be fair I mentioned this on another thread today but when he was 5, his Gran got him a Falkirk top. Being a lifelong Bairn I was looking forward to taking to him to his first game etc...but then last season I see pictures on Facebook of him in a Rangers top(my brother is an armchair h*n). So aye, with the recent Falkirk seasons I cant really blame him but still depressing to see. Still time to turn him from the Dark Side but I fear the worst. Still, hes now off my will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR96 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Does anyone know why there aren’t any fixtures on the weekend of the 29th of January? Doesn’t look like it’s the FA Cup or an international weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Normally around January/early February is when they have their break. In recent years the break has been split over two weeks so there are always games on each weekend. Looks like they have all teams breaking at the same time this year. It may be because CONCACAF/CONMEBOL have had to squeeze in an extra bunch of World Cup Qualifiers then to catch up from Covid delays. So would guess maybe the Premier League thought they might as well just avoid that weekend and break all at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Arsenal have the most expensive, cheapest season ticket in the EPL at £891. They finished 8th last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 £47 a game, and that’s with buying in bulk. Best league in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best league in the world. its all relative, £47 quid to watch Arsenal v Man Utd or £18 to watch Ayr United v Killie only people who have an account on this board would probably go for the Ayr/Killie game. *not sure how it works now, but Arsenal used to have different tiers for their tickets, Spurs, Chelsea, United would be more expensive than Burnley, West Brom and Everton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be picky - the cost per game of a season ticket at Ayr works out at £14.44. £18 is the walk up price. The cheapest walk up prices at Arsenal for the low category games are a surprising amount cheaper than the season ticket works out. But that’s only against the diddy teams and I don’t know how many tickets are made available or what the cost is of membership in the first place. https://www.arsenal.com/tickets/member-ticket-prices Football at nearly every level in the U.K. is far too overpriced but nearly £900 for the cheapest season ticket is just absurd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley very happy wi 17th or better every season and looking at the season ahead I cant see them near bottom 3 even though having signed naebody. Bruce might be worth a wager for 1st to go though as he got away wi it last season wi nae crowds. I've yet to meet a NUFC fan happy wi him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular English hotels and holiday camps have been fully booked for months. The Government's crazy travel rule changes in recent months have delayed the recovery in the UK foreign holiday market. Those who are fully vaccinated, especially those with children at school, are rushing to Spain now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
