The Cat

The share of tickets between clubs in the League Cup final is far more than for the FA Cup, just over 30000 tickets each so it shouldn't be too hard to get one.

Exactly. I don't care if the wider football public won't remember a League Cup trophy and a Europa League jaunt, because I and the rest of our fans will.

Interesting article. I can't believe the FA aren't taking more of an interest in our set up and coaching.

The loss to Spurs rules him out this month. Could be a West Ham double with Sakho getting player of the month.

Just worked out that should we win it's nailed on we'll get Newcastle in the semis because the games have been getting progressively more Northern every round. Millwall, Arsenal, Stoke and Sheffield Utd so far. First leg of semi away at the Toon, then bring them back here to seal our place in the final. Perfect.

Yep. I went up past the golf club and came out at the temporary lights. Always park in that estate to the east of the ground and cut through behind the training ground.

I love it when there's a sudden mad scramble for tickets from people that couldn't be arsed to go in previous rounds, especially those who bang on about how much they'd like to see us win this cup.

Massively enjoyed last night. To take that many fans midweek for a cup game was a great effort and the travelling fans were rewarded with a fantastic win. This team are something else.

Left at 1515 and got in just for ko. Cut off the queue for the M40 by going cross country and the same again on the M6 by coming off a junction early. Feel sorry for anyone that didn't make it, it's happened to me before.

I enjoy the slowness. It builds the atmosphere, raises character development and to be fair if this was happening there would be plenty of times when nothing of note was going on. Would be different if they were in the city but they're in the middle of nowhere. Episode 3 was brutal. For me it's hands down the best series on tv now and one of the best ever.

Hooray, I was vaguely ITK.

He lives on the edge of Easton, near a friend of mine. His house has been on the market for ages and he's having a new one built near Romsey. At least that was the situation the last time my friend spoke to him which was maybe a few months ago.

Still no word from CB Fry on whether he's making the relatively short trip to tomorrow's game. You'd think someone who spends a lot of time on a football forum would jump at the chance to see his team play in a game which he deems so important, a game that isn't much of a journey for him. Strange.

I sincerely hope we aren't still interested in Townsend as the article suggests.

How much did your bottom dollar get you on that bet? Seems to me that we paid just what other clubs wanted in the summer, the only deal we pulled out of being Rojo due to the 3rd party ownership complications. Seems like "our friend Ralph" did ok, no?

Didn't realise they had free coach travel on Saturday. That makes their support look even worse than it was. Typically I've left making my arrangements too late so am driving up by myself on Wednesday.

The gatecrashing looked staged and the BBC probably happy for it to be the case because it means more people are likely to watch their content - just as you did.

You will be gutted if we lose so I take it you are going to this game to support the team? Quite a close one for you isn't it?

Apparently came from someone on twitter that I can't be bothered to look up which is why I put that caveat. As for your first paragraph, yeah that's obviously what I think. Christ.

These Aphex Twin/Taylor Swift mashups are nuts http://www.stereogum.com/1714198/david-rees-aphex-swift-is-the-best-aphex-twintaylor-swift-mashup-album-of-the-year-so-far/mp3s/

Yep. She was no worse than some of the blokes. It's fine to be calling them out for shitty decisions it's just that gender is completely immaterial in their ability to do the job.

Thanks for typing that out Kucho, good stuff.

My favourite lino song was when the Northam sang "you should be washing up" to the female linesman. Whichever wag came up with that should quit their job and become a sticom writer because it was complete and utter, unparallelled comedy genius.
