NORTH LONDON IS RED obviously

All I'm asking now is that people could please STOP getting married and let me watch my football in peace....

28th April NLD: missed it for a bridesmaid dress fitting (and was required to 'socialise' afterwards - my head today!)
4th May Bournemouth: missing it for a bottomless brunch/cocktail making hen do (the bride is allegedly an Arsenal fan....)
12th May Man Utd: missing it for a bottomless brunch hen do (finishes at 5 so might see the second half but how sober will I be...)

These are three separate weddings as well!

Don’t bother with them. As long as you turn up to the weddings you’ll be fine.

I bet Poch has been sending her emails to spam for months. Who will send him unsolicited advice now?

Jesus I’m glad I don’t have that many friends. One hen and a wedding was enough for me this year.

Will be watching the second half of the Bournemouth match at my birthday lunch. Hopefully a nice birthday present from north London for me 🤞 ;)

Aston Villa voting against surprises me but the Manchester clubs voting against and Chelsea giving it a big ol no comment do not surprise me 🤣.

If any of you want to buy McSauce, best get your bids in if they're selling off the entire team 😂

The United match is on the 11th (Saturday). does that make a difference?

From what I can make of it (I have limited to zero understanding of financial stuff as my bank will attest to) from reading on Reddit/Twitter it’s likely because we will fall foul of only being able to spend 70% because of UEFA rules on clubs playing in Europe. So the big boys up top still have a lot more anyway, and the clubs who haven’t made Europe will be able to spend more because they’re not constrained.

This might not be accurate, and tbh anything we do like this gives me a bit of an ick (I’ll always view us as ‘the other 14’ regardless), but I can see why if we’re in a position not many other clubs are in. The Manchester clubs are hardly needing to get the panpipes out to busk are they 🙄
