Yes but absolutely everything gets searched. You could buy something from the Armoury and get the clear plastic bag searched and tagged. That being said you can bring most bags in. I’ve seen people in suits clearly coming from work to a match get in with large briefcases/computer bags. And the lines to get searched are pretty quick usually.

As much as I love Ramsdale and would be devastated to see him leave, at it is clear many of his teammates would also be, he fully deserves to be playing consistently and to have the full support of a manager behind him. Not sure what’s happened between him and Mikel this season because they seemed to have a great relationship up until recently and he even got a big new shiny contract at the beginning of the season, but it’s bizarre and Ramsdale deserves better.

I burst out giggling so quickly that it scared my actual cat.
