£20 I think is a fair price. I honestly think anything more is a little steep but then (and I know it's very different but it's still approx 2 hours of entertainment), tickets for most shows in decent seats in the West End can cost £80 - £100, which is also obscene. I bought two tickets for my Dad and I to watch England v Italy in the 6 Nations ... £175 and they were the mid-range priced ones. Two No1 Court tickets to Wimbledon cost me £160 last year. A daily train card from Fleet to Waterloo costs £32. Two tickets to an average show at the Anvil and Mayflower would cost about £80. So it makes football seem reasonable value, but I still think I'm paying a lot? It's an odd one, but I would say £20 would be excellent value and we'd definitely sell out a bigger stadium at that amount.

Exactly why it's laughable! All the old boys we don't want and highly players we'll never get, this forum is very amusing.

Sorry, I didn't mean Scholes, I meant the Man City crock, what's his name ... ?!? Hargreaves, that's who I meant! Friedel Neville Upson Carragher Cole Beckham Lampard Hargreaves Giggs Owen Drogba

Friedel Neville Upson Carragher Cole Beckham Lampard Scholes Giggs Owen Drogba I think all those players have been seriously mentioned at one point this year ... what a team that would be (Disclaimer: I would take Friedel)

Who is he?

Well I went past on the 341 bus at about 09.20 and didn't see anyone there, except that Neil Allen. There were more people putting up banners about some Cyprus homes con (I haven't the foggiest), so I suspect the Skates' support will be the smaller one there ... again ...

I get the 341 from Waterloo every day which goes past there, so I may join you, for a laugh. Actually I may not as I will be busy, have plenty of work to do and I don't actually know you, but just to keep you on your toes.

I had a similar situation when living in Bournemouth. Both lanes on the roundabout went off up the A338, but the clown in the left hand lane wanted to go round the roundabout and took out the back of my car and therefore making me spin of the road. I went loopy at him, obviously. The insurance company decided it should be 50/50. I said no. We went to court and a judge with no knowledge or understanding of the road layout, decided it should be 75/25 in my favour, but it should have been 100 in my favour, not just 75. Despite this being 12 years ago, it STILL p*sses me off to this day. It isn't difficult to; 1. Read the road signs AHEAD of the roundabout2. If you're new to the area/road layout, drive more slowly to make sure you're in the right bloody lane 3. Once on the roundabout and you realise you're wrong (which you shouldn't be if you've done 1 and 2 above), then slow down, indicate and let the traffic that knows what it is doing get on with it so you don't cause a crash. Preferably, just leave at other exit and find a place to turn around. Although I forget that everyone is bloody rude and in a rush these days and that 30 seconds is very important to you. Clowns. As I get the train to work now, I only put 3000 miles on my car in the last year - I am a lot calmer about driving now as a result, it's a horrible necessity!

To be fair when I watched last night, Arsenal were pretty terrible all round. I think Alex was one of their better players when he came on - at least he was pretty much the only hassling and chasing lost balls. Agree with the above point from Crab Lungs; had him and Theo been with Sir Alex, they'd be different players on another level. But they're not and they've gone. I think we've got a better player, at the moment, in Gaston - but time will tell.

Why?? I think people need to move on, it was a match, we won, job done. Who sang the most is utter utter drivel - we are able to generate some brilliant atmospheres, but I've also experienced some rubbish ones too. Personally I also wanted us to win purely because that last match we played them really f**ked me off. QPR annoy me more than Reading and that's only because Twitchy has gone there.

I think religion is a load of old balls to be honest and it really doesn't have a place in modern society - linking the the first post, I think this is the problem; "religion" is out-dated and actually pretty pointless.

I got him totally wrong. Thought that Jos would be the one who could step up to the Prem and not Fonte - clearly I couldn't have been more wrong. Delighted for Fonte, but a bit gutted that Jos hasn't been able (yet?) to do it especially as he became such a big player for us last season!!

Fox isn't that bad going forward, wondered if Lallana is out, whether Fox would be a good option at left midfield - or is that just insane? Probably.

Them linking up reminds me (slightly) of Bridge and Marsden - except I actually think Puncheon and Clyne are technically better, but their understanding is getting towards that level I think??

To be honest, "probably" - I honestly can't remember now! I had an ex who lived in Erdington, but she was from Sutton Coldfield - we went to a couple of pubs on the way to Cov, one in particular in a village called the Bull & something - no idea where or what it's called, but the food was fantastic!

I thank you! I don't mind Coventry, some good memories of the place - used to stay for many a night a hotel on Holyhead Road. I will say that, as bad as Coventry is, there are some cracking pubs in the surrounding villages!

Peter Reid?

This still makes me laugh!

Yep and Stoke's Geoff Cameron.

Couple that I enjoyed that stand out for me; Saints winning 3-1 up at Middlesbrough when Gray was in charge (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2001/sep/30/match.sport4), only about 400 Saints up there but what a great match and I remember even Ripley was good that day!!!! Saints losing away at Feyenoord pre-season. Rubbish football, but excellent week away!

Not great was he? I don't think he's in any danger of getting near the first team soon. I thought Cody Cropper was pretty good (commanding and solid) and our number 6 - sorry, I have no idea who it was? Mayuka will be good for us though - think he needs to settle. Man Utd's nippers didn't seem any big deal to be honest.

Agreed. We have to beat this dross, especially during their down periods.

One hundred and six, one hundred and six, we [sic] hold the record, one hundred and six. We don't give a f**k, we don't give a f**k, we are svamtum, we don't give a f**k. The only thing I remember from the last match. ********, hope we smash them.

I thought that, he looks a bit ill!

Agree! When's it on, this Friday or next Friday? I always thought he was a bit of a c*ck anyway, so to see him take a pasting will be hilarious.
