We would have never have had Pep in the first place if we didn''t have Khaldoon. The whole culture of any organisation is set at the very top and that's what attracts and keeps the world's best talent. In a world increasingly dominated by unserious people (Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Elon Musk...

Oh shit, I'd forgotten about "save Our Sven". To be fair, it did seem madness that we sacked him but his career never recovered from there.

What fan outrage? 3 comments on here?

This cvame around quicker than you even predicted @Gary James

Someone’s been liking posts on this thread and I thought I’d bump it. I’ve forgotten a lot of the detail from the time and the thread has it all on here.

Football is not "simple as that" except on forums by people who don't understand it.

I haven't seen the Bernado interview but I agree with every point there. I actually think we were the best team in Europe from the centurian's season until the 4 in a row team.

Totally agree with this. Even the way they were blasting balls at each other in the rondo felt nervy. Don't forget we lost Kev too, and didn't have a striker. We had a miles better team than Chelsea and Gundo had done well in a holding role earlier in the season. I was surprised to see the team...

I know. Every single time it happens 1% of me thinks "maybe this is it". And of course it never is.

Without a shadow of a doubt we outplayed Real on both of those occassions.

We deserved to win more, without a doubt. 3 would have been a fairer reflection of our place in the European hieracrchy. But in the cups you have a bad or unlucky half hour and you're out. It happened to us on several occasions. I believe that from 2018 to 2024 we were the best team in Europe.

By the same token if we had won City would have wanted this leaked too.

That's fucking funny actually.

I don't believe that the membership scheme is to stop away fans. It;s purely an attempt to generate money. There aren't many games where away fans could infiltrate. They should just put membership as a pre-requisite for them, not for bloody Bournmouth or Slavia Prague on a Wednesday night.

If they want groups to come to one offs, or several games a season, they should drop the ridiculous membership requirement, or make a membership count for the whole family (or +3 or whatever). But that one's about revenue unfortunately. Allocate a whole section of the North Stand as matchday...
