I don't think I have ever seen Claude AI or Claude [Bot] on this board - though I do not always look

I have commented before that since the launch of various AI apps that viewing activity on certain threads has gone through the roof - if anything it seems to generate more views in a vicious spiral

The article reads a bit like it's by someone who's never been to Haringey but that's by the by. Spurs make a lot of money from tourists, particularly there to see Son, so you can see why it's an issue. In terms of concessions though, it's a bit more complicated than just looking at the mismatch bet...

I've said before but I'm a bit surprised there has been much discussion on the minutiae of structural issues like shareholding and little on the meaning of the accounts going forward..

Been thinking more about this. Doesn't mean all clubs have same effective cap limit. Depends on multiplier used on base figure, some clubs may not have suffcient revenue to spend up to cap. Does mean cap not dependent on each individual clubs revenue, which is difficult to police as we've seen. Cou...

While this is better than B-teams, I am not sure that this is all that helpful to the National League if fans react in the same way as those in the EFL have done to the EFL Trophy.
