yeh, the aqua thing is very misleading. JRM assumes they are 'green' just like the other areas, but it's definitely a different colour that is being used. Maybe aqua is reserved club wembley seating? I've no idea but the fact that it's unclear is very disappointing. I'll have to send David Luker an email if I get time.

Not if you don't assume aqua = green. The seats are quite clearly aqua on the seating plan and different to the green used on the key and elsewhere on the seating plan.

Not clear what price the rear of blocks 133 and 134 is going to be! You'd think that, between them, the club and Wembley could distribute a seating plan that made sense.

and were you?

You're probably right ... I'm sure they have sound trickery which is used to filter out the majority of the crowd noise.

18 months is about what most of the fans on here were saying when he was appointed. If Xmas is approaching and we're not right in the promotion race, I'll be annoyed.

... had the balls to rewatch the game on TV yet? I recorded it but haven't bothered to watch it! I'd be interested to know if watching it back on tele changed people's opinions about key events in the game and it would be interesting to know how the crowds came across on tele.

Are you sure?

my 1st half highlight as well.

What are they teaching kids in school these days? If we played like that every week, we'd lose every game four one and find ourselves hanging out the backside of British football. Do you think you child meant, "If we'd play like we played for the first 70mins but scored a few goals?"

ignoring the corporate area, there was a significant amount of saints upping and leaving after the fourth went in.

I'm not sure where you were sat mate but that simply isn't true. I was aghast at the number of fans who upped and left after the fourth. Still, I guess they were trying to make it back to the pubs prior to the 2:30pm lock ins; probably a wise move onfreflection.

he had three kids with him as well.

Singing "Pay Up Pompey" DOESN'T WORK as it just sounds like we're joining in with them!

And when is Barnard going to come good as well?

Who!?!?!!? BTTC legend and presenter of Top Gear anf Fifth Gear.

I'm not debating the throwing of "missiles", although I didn't see any of that from block 32. The guy was asking for trouble though and should possibly have been thrown out anyway for what was an ill-judged 'joke'. I'm not sure how on earth he thought it could be 'funny'. The majority of the crowd had no idea it was a funny saints fan, the word was that it was a pompey fan, hence the reaction.

i suspect that may be a slight exaggeration.

is this thread a wind up?

The trouble after our game is currently the most read news story on the whole of the bbc website. It all seems very ott to me.

I saw Tiff Needell ordering a pre match pint in the Kingsland concourse.

Everybody genuinely thought he was a skate. It was a stupid thing to do.

i saw a paper aeroplane sail down from the back of the kingsland and nearly hit a cameraman. that was definitely one of the first half highlights.

I can't help thinking that it was a bit early to be going shir or bust though. Our naivity showed I think. And to let them score more than one goal in identical fashion made me very frustrated.
