I can in one: standard.

So, where's everyone drinking on matchday? I've been doing a bit of research, the BS North station is near the Uni, and there are student bars. Whether they'll be open on a Thursday afternoon... mmm, well it's a student bar...

They did something similar for Denmark - it's the ID check that impacts more than anything, stops people who qualify but can't go (cost or practicalities) from buying tickets to keep priority but selling on to their mates. With the ID check I think tickets might go to anyone with a buying history eventually. There can't be many with 15+ aways who didn't go to Midtjylland so that will only be a handful on top of the at most 550 allocation from Denmark, which means there will be at least 200 for the 13+es. Plus by then a lot of people will be put off by the cost, as those who really want to go will have already booked and pushed the flight and hotel prices up.

I thought it was 3 too, but others have said 1. Either way there's no-one who legitimately qualified for an Arnhem ticket who couldn't have got a Midtjylland ticket, so the people whining that their Arnhem game doesn't count for anything are 1) wrong, it gave them priority for the next Europa League match and 2) unable to count, as there were more people with tickets in Arnhem than there are tickets available for Be'er Sheva.

With the extra millions we can indeed spend loads more on wages and as its all legit income the FFP ceiling is comfortably above where it was and teams are unlikely to hit it, the issue is that once we break the wage structure we probably have to pay the rest something similar, and that's what we can't afford.

Did we have the option to keep them?

Actually you didn't, you don't have to have the same squad for Europa League as the Premier League.

The "worth to doing the Arnhem game" was that people got priority for Midtjylland. And as that went down to only 1 away eventually, people really have no reason to be complaining about not getting priority because they chose not to go to Denmark.

The ground holds 16000+ so 5% minimum allocation by UEFA rules is 800. Celtic might have only got 200 because they only needed 200. Having seen the highlights recently it looked more like about 20.

Yes, they were fixed when they were announced. That's one of the reasons it took them 2 bloody hours.

Or the £0 I am definitely paying them.

It's nice to see the team giving the competition the respect it deserves by trying to beat Yeovil... though currently losing 4-3. The best bit about this is they can't possibly claim they're not trying.

Far too reasonable.

I found it pretty dull too. If you're not into art... and I went to the Lowry when we just played Man U.

Has tram line 5 to the ground reopened? When I was there it was closed from the McDonalds near the Metro station.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha, yeah that definitely happened. Except the place (well, strictly it's forerunner(s)) was ripping itself apart from Prem relegation onwards due to people having a pop at the various failed attempts to right the ship whether good or bad, and you couldn't move for people slagging everything off. The people saying "the club knows what it's doing" were few and far between - especially given that what constituted "the club" between 2007 and 2009 changed frequently.

Is that the "fact" rating for the post?

7 posts... but yeah, *I* doubt it. And even if it's a plant, it says exactly what the silent majority who can't be bothered to argue with the WUMs are thinking.

Given that they've completely failed to give indicative prices within, now, over 80 hours, I'm not holding my breath.

Good point, I worked backwards from the "Today" ones, should have noticed. He's still no further on though under yet another manager though which tells you something.

Except all the players they have sold, of course. And all the ones they've signed to long deals who no longer feature in their plans and just suck up wages before moving on for nothing. Which is basically all of them.

Now now, that was a completely different club, remember? One that won the FA Cup, and another different one which won the league and Cup in the 1930s or 1940s or whenever it was.

Erm, what exactly is meant to be the point of that article? "Why isn’t there a rule for this competition which states only young English players can play? Or a limit on players who aren’t eligible to play for the English national side?" Um, because there's never been a rule in any senior competition that prevents players of a certain age or nationality from playing, and also because it's completely against the *current* law for as long as we're still in the EU (and most likely after that as well if the football administrators want the club game in England to continue to be successful).

Which "loan window" is that then? The one that ceased to exist last season? Emergency loans are now banned and players can only go on loan inside transfer windows. So if he's still with us on Sep 1st he's staying until at least New Year.

I don't really care what he does for you, the rest of the world can see he's not anything like as good as Romeu at the moment, and his nasty habit of kicking people up in the air when he has no chance of getting the ball isn't going to help him or anyone else. Having said that, he's as close to the first team as any of the kids other than Ward-Prowse and Targett at the moment.
