I think Swansea away 18 months ago was pretty immense in the grand scheme of things. We certainly wouldn’t have Ralph here now if we had lost that game.

That might work if there weren’t 18,000 Pomps fans also travelling to the ground at around rush-hour on a weeknight.

Probably alluding to a large section of old school support who may well not qualify for tickets.

Why would members not get a chance???

Depending on the allocation, I think it may well go to members due to:- - Spurs away a few days after - being on SKY - people not being arsed with the bubble - people simply being scared off going (possibly the biggest factor actually) - if it’s Photo ID on the coaches that will stop a lot of ST holders buying tickets for their friends, as happens for a lot of games generally That’s my hope anyway. I’m desperate to go to the game.

I also remember the gap-toothed freak. Actively encouraging us to lob stuff at him. Hope his collar was felt by the OB.

He is shockingly bad.

There are lots of options out there for less than £10 a month.

You can add the following: - not time-wasting against Everton - stupidly getting sent off at Palace and being banned for the relegation decider against United - going back to the Skates Not a fan of his at all.

Adam Blackmore is a top-notch broadcaster and a good bloke. Got talking to him at Prague Airport the morning after the shambles at Sparta Prague and he was very talkative (not to mention rather indiscreet) even though he would have had no idea who I was. Whereas Merrington just had his head down in a book and didn’t want to know.

Bell-end of the highest order.

Shane scored more goals and set more up than him. No idea why anybody would prefer Ayew to Shane.

Ah yes. In the Itchen Corner.....

More likely that Boscombe will pay higher wages than us. If he’s a quality defender, £12 million is a bargain.

I’ve booked digs in Blackburn town centre. Hoping to be up there early enough to catch the Arsenal v United game in a boozer up there. Would probably be full of United fans, so hopefully Arsenal will win.....

Anybody else thinking about staying in Blackburn on the Friday night? I’m not expecting a large take-up here.....

Was led to believe there was some kind of strike by Northern Rail that weekend.

Would they really give the away team 1,500 tickets for a 4th Round FA Cup game? That’s about 30% of their capacity!

He will only ever be an option if we are in the Championship.

Mario Gotze’s significant other, ladies and gents..... https://www.foottheball.com/wags/wag-ann-kathrin-brommel-6-fast-facts-about-mario-gotzes-wife/177772 Get him on the bus, Ralph.

I don’t rely on public transport. “Tradition” is so 1980’s.

+1.

Chuffed about them moving the West Ham game. Can get the train up and go on the sauce. Will be a far better atmosphere than if it had been on Boxing Day, which is always a rubbish day for football.

As it happens, I also have 2 spare kids’ tickets for the trains if anybody else wants those..... (no spare match tickets though). Same train times as above.
