Barnet? I think they are still in the bottom league? Without looking it up would I be right in saying that they have played all their (comparatively short) league football in the lowest tier?

I am well aware of the ancient and modern history of all three of the clubs I quoted. My understanding was that the OP was asking for clubs where very little currently goes on, not much has gone on for a number of seasons, or is likely to be going on for the next few seasons. No promo, no relegation, no cups, no spectacular signings, no glamour, no big-name Ron Managers, no scandal with the chairman's wife, no lurid club mascot headlines. On that basis mine were three pretty reasonable shouts. Sheff Utd are in the midst of an exciting promotion hunt, under the expert management of someone from the dark side. Palace were league cup semi-finalists a few weeks ago and seem to make the financial pages at least once a season (tho agree they are pretty dull). Epic fail, can you suggest a couple of slightly duller no-mark teams that better meet the criteria?

Ipswich have had a few seasons of nothingness .... agree with the OP on Villa. Sunderland always seem a bit pointless (but might do a bit better under MON next year).

Incoming, I watched on Sky and was impressed with the impression Reading fans made; if I was a neutral I would have been disappointed with the Saints support. I'm sure it was nervous/difficult/frustrating being there but why do we not get behind the team more? Let's bring it on at P'boro!

He got outside three or four times and hit lollipop floaters every time - I didn't see any of his crosses hit one of our players - their keeper must have thought he was back down at the training ground second half - has he had an easier second half all season? Our goal was a deflection, which he probably had covered, and I can't remember him making a proper save second half ... SDR ain't very good ... get over it.

Shocking today, unbelievable that a player at this level can only kick with one foot! Reading showed him inside every time and he didn't have the capability to do anything with it. Antonio plus another two years development with team-Nige would have been a far better option.

Can't remember him in CM much? CM = Viafara, Pele, Belmadi, Idiakez ..... mainly(?) .......... I could be wrong ...... !

looking at the OP who is 'wright' in CM? time, tide, and red wine have all interfered with my faculties but I can't place this player. the main diff is Adkins v Burley, not too much in it players-wise?

'my son and his new wife' (just to save anybody else having to read it twice or thrice), sorry, no can do with tkts. .

Hark now hear, Sarfampton sing The Pompey run away And we will fight for evermore Because of Boxing Day. just saying, like.

Sorry 53, Asaint4ever has now taken the tkts.

Lock this! Sold to Asaint4ever, tickets now gone.

Anybody go near the Angel of the South before the game? At least 50 men of a certain age who I have never seen home or away were congregating in the morning sun; if that's our firm I am impressed and scared in equal measures - my gaydar was screaming 'skates'. Anybody know what became of them?

I was at the back of 38 and it was excellent.

Guess the invite said 'formal'?

yes, 2 available. PM me or reply on here.

Face value, have them with me today at the game. Post on here or pm me if interested.

FAO, Asaint4ever. Do you still want these tickets? I have Pm'ed you my contact details. Please contact me asap; failing that is anybody else interested in 2 Palace tickets, face value? I will have them with me at the game tomorrow.

Asaint4ever you have a PM, tickets now gone, thank you.

I have 2 spares. Am currently skiing en France but will be travelling back for the P game on Saturday. You will need to collect from me either before the game Sat or at Palace on Monday. PM me on here, I'm not on the internet very much here but I will check for replies at this time tomorrow.

'Shipped via the post'? You mean: torn off the block, put with a cover slip with your name and address on it, put in an envelope, sealed down, hand written 'Pmth' on the top right hand corner, put in a box on a desk at the ticket office for you to collect at your convinience between now and kick off. Why are people persisting in asking if they will be sent out? They weren't ever going to be sent out (for whatever 'reason'), why do people think that's changed? [short answer is that the online system is a crock of cr8p; it's being binned in seven games time, hopefully with a lot of the other Spanish customs that the tkt office has become renowned for in the last couple of years]. Although fair's fair; I haven't seen this posted anywhere else but the queueing arrangements for collections for P'mouth last Saturday appeared to be very well arranged and efficient, I was there at about 2-15 and went from queueing someway back towards the away team's bus, to tkts in hand in about 5 mins. 'T' was pretty good, straight in, and I loved the (empty) window on the RH side labeled W-Z!

Why would they sell? Because the owner lives in Switzerland and is reportedly not really interested in football or owning the club? Because we are probably at the position of maximising the return on the money that has been spent out? Because maybe NC has fulfilled his friend's dream, maybe he doesn't want to spend any more time in football (or in England?), and maybe he is in-line for 20% of the selling price? None of these are reasons that the club will be sold today or tomorrow but I thought it was a well-written and balanced piece and to say 'why would we sell?' is surely to put one's head in the sand. There are three big reasons why we could be sold if the price is right.

Call me radical but here's an idea: you have two tills and two queues, one marked CASH and one marked CARD people get to CHOOSE which method they prefer balance the proportion of cash and card tills out according to demand other things being equal, which till would move quicker, the 'cash' one or the 'swipe card' one? personally I would be quite happy to use a swipe card especially if it was rechargeable on line.

Is there a 'control system' to stop people going for a beer from 35mins onwards? Even better, reverse turnstiles which only open 5 minutes after the game has finished.

Come back when Saints win a World Cup.
