Cock 1-1

Time to pile in on an Arsenal win. Decent odds now

Get in!!!!!

Ah, fair enough. Slightly odd that he travelled suited and booted with the rest of the match day squad in that case. Unless my eyes were deceiving me.

He was in the video of players arriving at the stadium which would suggest he was fit enough to be considered.

...

Agree. Austin is the most obvious captain candidate, although one assumes Davis will get it back again if he starts?

Close. I'm his fluffer

...

For what it's worth..... ---------------------- McCarthey --------------------------- ------- Stephens ----- Yoshida ------- Bertrand ---------- - JWP ----------- Davis -------- Romeu ------- McQueen - ---------- Sims --------------------------- Long ----------- ------------------------- Austin ----------------------------- Subs: Forster, Cedric, Hoedt + 4 of: Hojbjerg/Lemina/Redmond/Boufal/Tadic/Gabbi/Carillo

Will be Austin (still our highest scorer) if he manages to bag the few goals that end up saving our skins. Failing that.... "none of the above"....

Cheers Shroppie. Can always rely on regulars such as yourself for accurate updates Meanwhile, back at the beer...

I take it that means Glasgow has started posting again in volume?

I've been in Bournemouth all day.... Now at the annual beer festival at the BIC. Just checking in for the first time. Any news on our game today? Cheers

Other than making it easier for the organisers, what was the point of having a short list?

What normally works for me is you access the ticket site about 25 minutes before 9am and leave it sitting there on the temporary holding page. You then automatically get switched over to the queuing system when they flick over to sales at 9am and towards the front of the queue. I did that this morning as per usual and only had to wait a few seconds in the queue at 9am, but then the site froze on me when trying to add the tickets to the basket. This 'technique' works most times though

It suddenly leaped back into life... purchase complete... let's do this!

Was straight in at 9... Tried to add tickets to basket then site ground to a halt... Now back in a 26 minute queue.... Sigh

Good question. As a fan base we're currently trying to work this out, as opposed to sticking our collective fingers in our ears and shouting "la la la la la" in the style of the fans of the previous football club that played at Fratton Park prior to 2012. Meanwhile, we're attempting to win the FA Cup on merit rather than cheating our way to victory. Thanks for asking though.

Does anyone know how many other PL clubs have the same or similar arrangements in place? That would help deduce how normal, or otherwise, our situation is.

I don't recall seeing any official explanation from the club. I'm pretty sure we started selling a bigger allocation than we ended up with though (?). The only other explanation I can think of is that the club mistakenly started selling a block that, it turns out, wasn't allocated to us and upon realising (coincidentally at the same time the fixture date was changed) they swapped things over. Actually, that sounds far less plausible than the baffling 'sent back a whole block of tickets because the date changed' scenario. Surprised no-one's quizzed them about this in twitter land yet (or perhaps they have and received no answer?)
