We appear to have a league game on Thursday.

and, I'd happily pay £5 per match to watch at home and avoid all the unnecessary business of attending matches. I'd pick and choose which ones to attend in person, of course, and let those reds have a stab at tickets.

I find it far less stressful to attend than watch on television, for some reason. Probably because there are mechanisms of letting off a bit of steam. Calling Xhaka dreadful things and booing constantly, for example.

And it kicks off at 20:15.

What satanic noinsense is this now?

God alone know what the Thursday business is about, but evening games kick off at 19:30. A 20:15 kick off means leaving the stadium at, what, 10 pm? You're not going to get home until 11! On a weeknight!

!9:45, Shirley?

And the ten minute half time, only one substitution days are long gone, my friend. And we have a thing called VAR which adds another 10 minutes to a match, so not much change out of a 10:30 egress. After beddybyes for some, that is.
