Stub Hub for EPL tickets
Posted by The Special One on 7/22/26 at 11:20 am
Anyone have any recent esperience with Stub Hub UK /International for EPL tickets. I'm heading to the UK in late August and was looking to maybe catch a match or 2. In 2022 I bought tickets off of Stub Hub UK for a match at Old Trafford and had no issues. Recently though I've been reading and hearing that the clubs are cracking down on any kind of 3rd party resale now and you buy tickets at your own peril.

Disappointed in Messi for trying to get a red on Cucurella and for not trying to get his team to show a little class at the end. Classless on and off the pitch. It’s really hard to make me pull for Cucurella but they did.

No way to do that this late logistically.

Time to beat down the cheaters. Hand of God my arse, the hand of a cheater. Beckham red card in 98 based on Simeone’s dark arts. Dark arts my arse, he’s a cheat. Do it for the Iron Lady. It’s going to be a bigger beat down than the Royal Navy put on those bastards in 82. We do not negotiate with criminals or thugs.

When he saw big Dan Burn coming in he was like nah I’m good.

The problem is if you don’t go down you don’t get the call. Especially in the penalty box. Not sure how to fix it other than giving out cards.

Time for the dirty cheating racists to be sent packing. Revenge for the hand of god and the Simeone BS on Beckham in 98. I just wish the Iron Lady was alive to see this.

No yellow against Egypt yesterday :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
There were a couple of yellow card incidents that weren't even given as fouls.

England gets a card every 7 fouls and Argentina gets one every 22 fouls.

VAR has ALWAYS been used like this. Why is everyone acting like it’s new? We encourage refs to allow the play to continue so they don’t stop a goal in progress, and then review after.
So that constituted a clear and obvious error - gotcha.

If Trump could have kept his mouth shut instead of bragging about it we would have been better off. Of course he has to take credit for everything. It made us look like we were getting preferential treatment and basically rallied the world against us. I posted yesterday that I thought it was bs and got attacked of course and told I was not American. The Belgians literally did the Trump dance on our grave.

My English buddy just messaged me laughing saying he just watched Trump on TV explaining the rules.

this Balogun deal is bs. Should he have gotten a red card? That's certainly debatable and I can see both arguments. But the rule for suspension is the rule. Did Trump call Infantino and influence the decision? I hope not. If Putin had done that in 2018 or a sheik in Qatar done that in 2022 to get a player to play against the US we would all be up in arms. Politics needs to stay out of football - period. Unfortunately with FIFA that sounds comical. We can beat Belgium without Flo and if we win now and Balogun scores a crucial goal it will be tainted.
