What do you do for a job….all commission based or something like that?

Parts and Procurement  is the simple title

if i fail at my job i loose 100% of my wages  , if a team in PL gets relegated they have failed  so should not be paid extra at all

I meant did you feel your football world had fallen in when you lost them or when you found them again! I take consolation that in terms of fight and effort we can't possibly be worse next Sunday even if we're Hammered.

Monday when i thought they were lost

Manning has been winning me round in recent weeks, which is natural given the results. Still find the football a bit boring, but everyone will have their own opinion.

So this isn’t a dig at him, but can you name a worse city game than what we witnessed today? Everything from performance to atmosphere and even the weather was just completely not there today. It has to be the one of, if it the worse, days at football for a long long time.

I even lost my Westham tickets until found this morning  i felt as if my football world had fallen in

I get what you are saying, but you are p*ssing in the wind. The fan base is furious with Nige's unjust sacking and the poor results and dive towards the relegation spots that has happened since. A defeat on Saturday and the stadium will erupt that is for certain.

Been a while for the fan base to erupt ,  I am a Pearson fan  but total agree with Shelton's Army open statement.  I have been in a similar position where a bunch of workers thought i could not do the job , 4 years in no one wants me to retire . COYR

Friend of mine says the best bet is to park at westfield shopping centre and walk to the stadium. 

Has anyone ever done this before? Last thing I want is to be sitting in traffic for hours after the game, like Leicester earlier in the season.

did this for athletics  got a good price for parking 

I was a Pearson Fan , i am warming to manning after last night 

Players in the Premiership should have a  clause in the contract that they get a reduction in relegation.  This might make them try hard to stay in the league 

A good listen  I was not sure where I was with the appointment  but this pod cast put on side of Liam Manning COYR

First suggestion, no eating or drinking inside the stadium. There's plenty of pubs, newsagents, bars around to get your pre match fill. 
Hit them where it hurts. 

This is what I will do 

I am very worried about relaxation.  Supported a short 25 years and it's the lowest I felt in that time. 

A league one side is not wort as much 

I think the landsdowns are to thick skin and will not be there . Some needs to happen

a few years ago a man behind us was shouting racist abuse at Millwall players  i did a quick count up 7 coloured city players . i ask him if he knew how man we had .

luckily I did not see  him the following season

i listen to her on Yeovil games and quite pleased she did the city game says it as it is.  

Not on holiday and just finished Danny Wilson autobiography a good read

a good listen

We take the piss out of that tinpot outfit up north, but with this crap and the mismanaged digital season card farce and other documented stuff, we've not got a lot to crow about tbh.

Rovers Season tickets get money back if they can not attend .    we just get counted in the attendance figures

a good listen 

slightly different  i went to a music festival i was advise most venders prefer card but have cash for times when technology did not work .

It's amazing how unsympathetic some people can be and not just football.

My father in law in 2015 out of the blue got a brain tumour stage 4 and had 6 months tops, I started a new job in the middle of this and my manager was fully aware of the situation.  When he died we knew it was imminent so I WFH for a few days so I could be there for my wife.  

After he died (on the Monday that week) I called my manager an hour or so after after to say I wouldn't be in the rest of the week as my wife needed me, and I assumed I would get compassionate leave, and instead my manager was annoyed and she said to me that he's not close family so I will have to take the time as unpaid. I said I'll take it as sick instead, and she said you will need a sick note, I said i didn't as I can self certify for 7 days, and she hung up the phone on me without replying!  This was a few hours after I was there when he died, after 6 months of watching him die.  Terrible management and this was working for one of the biggest financial organisations in the Uk so it was no impact on her or the business!

 

I had similar when I  had at 3 different times had a loss. I survived but it was not easy
