I bet there are a few people who bought tickets using a mates STs who now face the dilemma of whether to buy a second ticket or risk it...I suspect there will be a few spares knocking around.

I suspect there is a lot of people buying tickets using mates ST and banking on checks being light or non existent.

How many members do we have? Can't imagine many got suckered into paying £25 for the right to buy a ticket...

I suspect it will just be members tomorrow and then general sale the day after.

I think there will be quite a lot of fans that don't go often but are always up for a big game that are waiting for it to go beyond St holders. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

I assume they will make that announcement around 5 or 6pm today?

I'd of thought those that attend a fair few away games attended in the recent past were much more likely to go to Milan, so that percentage take up will naturally drop a lot once you get to zero aways.

likewise, although being within touching distance of watcing from the San Siro will be incredibly frustrating

Enjoy. I hope I get to see it from inside the stadium and not a bar outside!

Also it was not a fluke that we carved Arsenal open leading directly to the free kick on the edge of the box. Whether there was actual contact I don't know, but if the ref had played on we would have had a man clean through with just cech to beat.

Painful defeat. Fonte does lay hands on him, but it's six of one. We've had our share of fortune in recent years with pens, but we could do with one or two going our way in the next few weeks. For periods we looked decent, but during others we seemed to park the bus, which is a tactic I don't enjoy, but has been effective nonetheless. I don't care what anyone says, results or otherwise, the quality of the side is not as good as it was a few years back and we no longer run games. That said there were some encouraging signs in terms of getting between the lines and creation of genuine chances. Mind you if we are only going a few per game then as the season progresses relying on Shane Long to take them leaves us with a problem. He's never been clinical and we actually we need more goals than last year...hmm.

Agreed. I wouldn't touch this site with a barge pole. Buying in Milan makes much more sense to me.

missed that. Shame. Wondering who will actually be able to get a ticket. Non season ticket holders for example. 5000 is maybe still quite a lot, when you factor in time off work and cost, but Milan is quite a draw.

I seriously doubt an extra allocation will be taken.

As I and many others on here suggested, the whole thing smacked of stories being fed to the papers to help obtain an extra year on the contract. Pretty standard practice and part of the `game' these days. If the club didn't get a call from United in the last two weeks, then they will have come to the same conclusion, which will perhaps sour the relationship a little between the two parties (club and agent). For once the club held the cards and having offered more cash to keep their employee happy they will expect great things of him over the next 23 months. Lets hope as supporters we see exactly that.

Just seen that West Brom have signed Nyom from Watford, someone I regard as one of the worst premiership players I have seen at SMS in many years. I feel strangely happy with our own lot.

How did Newcastle eve come to that valuation? You'd have to be mental to pay that?

I have a vision of him with a piece of coal in his hand and a grimace on his face as he squeezes it as hard as possible...

He's a very similar type of player to Austin. Whether you think that's a good or bad thing I'll leave that for you to decide...

Has any club spent more on left backs?

I wonder which Premiership sides would be interested and which would be considered by both him and Arsenal? I wonder also if there was any chance that the loan could become permanent.

Does he have pace to burn?

I honestly thought Les and Ross had gone to speak with his agent and then watch him one final time last week at Millwall, but I am not ITK that's for sure. Oh well, onwards and upwards. Excited about Boufal. Hope he can get up to speed quicker than Mane.

Can't get Mark Draper out of my head for some reason. Yes I remember the tinman too.
