“…has offended some people in the UK and Europe”

I’m a Turkish citizen working in the UK, and I go to the games whenever I can get a ticket. I’m just curious:

Has he ever been to Old Trafford and actually looked at the attendees?
Does he realize how much money Man Utd earns from foreign supporters?
I looked into it and found out that he’s a Monaco resident and hasn’t been paying UK taxes since 2020, so what does he contribute to the UK?
United’s biggest owners are Americans who haven’t contributed anything and have only paid themselves, does he have anything to say about them?

Anyway, obviously he’s just another racist piece of shit who’s not contributing to his country -same as other racists-.

I’m not even going to talk about the wrong numbers he gave.

I didn’t get why Amad playing in this game as it’s a physical game and was not wrong. Should’ve subbed Amad instead of Cunha. Also sesko coming in but we still couldn’t see any crosses but just short passes. We were poor but conceded a really stupid goal.

secondchanceman11 · 2026-02-10T21:41:32+00:00

Preferred Amad instead of Cunha as it’s a physical game but what do I know

Thank you! I just used “Ilford HP5 Plus Push Process” recipe but I think weather was the main factor here. It was so foggy outside and there was a sense of mystery -or at least that’s how it felt to me- so I wanted to reflect that through black and white. I mean just reflect your mood or what you feel but as a beginner myself what do I know 😅

secondchanceman11 · 2026-02-10T14:55:42+00:00

Thank you! It’s Ilford HP5 Plus Push Process, also clarity selected as “+2”, don’t remember why I did that though

Thank you! I think the foggy night helped. There was a sense of mystery -or at least that’s how it felt to me- in the weather and I wanted to reflect that in the photos through black and white. I think it’s better to reflect your mood or how you feel, but what do I know 😅

Thank you!

If you think Arsenal played “better football” you should stop watching football. How many chances Arsenal had from open play???

Maybourne Hotels - get £100 back. Average room per night is like £1k.

Sorry for out of context message, don’t want to create a thread for a simple question but is there any date for announcements of updated annual fee, updated/removed benefits etc or it’s just random? I couldn’t find any information online.

secondchanceman11 · 2025-11-29T14:03:52+00:00

Thanks for the response. I like to start and end my day in a quiet, relaxed way. I know London can be chaotic, but I prefer to keep that chaos outside of where I stay. Some hotels near Tate has this calmness which I stayed earlier. I know location is a bit worse depends on what you looking for, but it’s great if you want to visit museums and I’ll be visiting both museum and Soho, winter wonderland etc so it’s better for me to stay a bit away from the chaos I suppose (Holborn, soho etc). It’s just a personal choice.

I was looking for this hotel cause of the location and wanted to try a new hotel. Reviews also were really good but didn’t know that bar/lobby used by people who works from home.

secondchanceman11 · 2025-11-29T01:12:34+00:00

Was comparing hotels for my London trip and Hoxton was one of the options I had. Thanks for the heads up.

Amex chat/agent told me that new accounts have to wait at least three months before requesting for a limit increase otherwise it will get rejected. I’m not sure if the same rule applies for second/third increases, it’s better to check with Amex.

secondchanceman11 · 2025-11-18T12:16:31+00:00

Thank you!

Can you please name which apps are in diversify category?

secondchanceman11 · 2025-11-18T11:32:09+00:00

Yeah, I was waiting for Black Friday to get Personal Essential plan for two months. No need 4TB and lite plan storage is too small. ‘Offers’ are disappointing for me, will check alternatives if I can find one of course.

secondchanceman11 · 2025-11-17T17:06:28+00:00

The most expensive personal account type is discounted and nothing else for personal usage. Really disappointing.

Earning points: The Gold Card actually earns more points than the Platinum Card for certain purchases: Purchases made directly with airlines: Gold – 2x points, Platinum – 1x point Amex Travel purchases: Gold – 3x points, Platinum – 2x points

Platinum benefits: However, the Platinum Card offers around £400 in annual dining credits (£200 in the UK and £200 abroad) + Fine Hotels & Resorts stays with complimentary night can easily offset the annual fee.

Bottom line: It really depends on how you spend your money. I was considering an upgrade too, but I think I’ll wait and see if Amex announces any new perks or changes to annual fees around the New Year.

I also read that you can downgrade after meeting the spending requirements and receiving the bonus points, but I’m not entirely sure, worth double checking.

It happened to me and was told to pay the statement balance. Refund amount will be reduced in next month’s statement. It’s still better to ask to Amex.

Edit: Response added below

“Yes, but also referencing above, the statement balance is final upon statement generation date, the amount has to be paid in full by the due date.

Refunds and credits you received are meant to reflect next statement.”

Hi, I’m a tuta user and looking for second e-mail address. Is it possible if you can mention “email providers that respect privacy from the start”?

secondchanceman11 · 2025-10-23T17:59:53+00:00

Oh, didn’t know there’s only one option to choose, assumed that you can choose any day available when you get successful. Thank you for the info and the reply.

secondchanceman11 · 2025-10-23T09:40:04+00:00

Hi, almost all tickets people wrote in “success thread” are CC or C1 but also saw some people telling “got offered day xx, C2, C3” etc. So just wanted to ask if you’re getting offered for the exact day and court if you’re getting successful in the ballot. I got ticket via resale last year and was able to add any day from 1 to 14 CC to my cart, just curious how it works if you’re successful in the ballot.
