Not sure if I posted this awhile ago but spurs new ground. My old gaffer goes home and away and was invited for a virtual tour by the club as he wanted a ticket by the tunnel. He got credit checked first of course.
A one off membership fee is charge of 10k. Then its 18k per ticket. Oh an you have to buy two.
Mind boggling money.

Gotta pay for it somehow. Wont be with prize money.

Joking aside I'm guessing that's London premium added in there.

18 grand for what exactly? A virtual tour?

03 Apr 2018 09:47:31
£18000? Surely not!

You or whoever sent the mail might have added an extra 0 there. Google tells me the costliest spurs season ticket is 2200.

{Ed007's Note - Google 'Spurs Tunnel Club'

Goodness me, who on earth will willingly agree to pay that, this is genuinely crazy.

03 Apr 2018 19:04:33
Yeah, but that 18k gives you unlimited access to the trophy room, with access to hold the trophies within. lol.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 2nd April 2018

Interesting read and good stuff Ed.
Seems quite a few people commented on Mane’s second yellow. I think he is a good player but in this case I feel that he should have gotten a second yellow equaling a red. Nothing against him personally but he did not touch the ball accidentally but he actually grabbed the ball. That itself is a yellow unless the red blew whistle before. But the fact that the red gave a free kick to Palace in itself reflected a foul in this case a deliberate foul by itself.
Anyway I am not the red so don’t know what he think or sees but certainly not from what I saw in the game.

{Ed001's Note - I don't get the decision either. Refs just don't seem to know what they are doing these days. I mean brandishing a pretend card in the ref's face was supposed to be a yellow as well, but there were 4 or 5, at least, Palace players doing exactly that and he never acted. I think he was just a weak ref.}

Thank God we won't have to put up with them at the World Cup. English refereeing has gotten worse.

02 Apr 2018 10:40:58
Agree Ed. I feel it boils down to consistency and the refs just don’t have it. Who is watching them whilst they watch the players? 🤦‍♂️🤣.

{Ed001's Note - there is an assessor in the crowd at every Prem game checking on them.}

Hope it’s not LVG 🤣🤣🤣.

02 Apr 2018 14:14:53
These assessors need to be fired first. I don't remember a weekend where no ref bungled a big call. Likes of Atkinson shouldn't be allowed to ref Sunday league let alone big prem matches.

CSM I won’t suggest we get into the red discussion as that may come back to bite us. You know there are refs who will favor a team but will not show. And obviously some may favor us. Just hopefully it levels off.
We need to also trust the refs doing their job professionally just like our players. They will be found out sooner or later if they don’t. Remember when they’re on the pitch there are hundreds of thousands of eyes watching even millions pair given it is live all over the world. Can run but can’t hide.
I don’t like some but also hope they just do what they’re supposed to do. Tough to be on the pitch handling some many egotistical players sometimes 🤣🤣.

666 it was one thing 20 years ago to say hope it evens out. Today there is enough technology to help these morons to ask why they are still making so many mistakes. If you are not good enough you shouldn't be in the job it goes for players and refs both.
