Whitey Grandad

Up to now we haven't. We have been a breeder-feeder club that has to tolerate the learning process whilst the richer clubs cream off the talent. This happens all the way down the leagues, to be fair.

Not strictly true. Cup games are rarely reserved for ST holders to buy their 'own' seats and very few holders can go to every game so the price works out very similar. I never stood a chance of a ticket for Swansea away.

If Arsenal finish 4th then Hull are in the Europa Cup, win or lose the final. Apparently.

According to the commentator yesterday, if Arsenal finish outside the top four and win the FA Cup then the team in 7th place qualify for Europe. Do we want that to be Man U?

Bit unfair on Mick, I'd have thought.

Fascinating, how soon we forget! What's wrong with a wind-up gramophone, I say?

Marshall would be good. We need a couple of goalscorers but those from clubs at the bottom haven't been scoring goals.

Surprising how many candidates there are.

Good idea, worth a try. The system doesn't have to be fair, but as a commercial enterprise it's always wise to look after your most important customers. That's they who spend the most, not sing the loudest.

It didn't look deliberate to me either. Perhaps the officials are unbiased?

Close, but we just hold on to 8th under pressure from Crystal Palace.

Somebody went fishing and they got a few bites.

Munch munch munch

Clean sheet - luvverly.

Still injured, apparently.

Who would you suggest for manager?

Surely there's no need for any of this abuse? Now here's a thought... What should the system be if the Man U game were the first of the season instead of the last?

There's not much difference between the mate/relative/acquaintance who wants to go and the occasional attendee who's only been to four matches.

As seasons go... First half good, second half not so good.

If you think it's relevant then doesn't that make you a racist? I'm surprised you find it a laughing matter. What makes you think I'm complacent? What makes you think I'm white?

I think you've missed the point. A season ticket holder is a paying customer too.

Thanks. The problem today is that sides at the top want constant consistent high-quality performances and can't afford to let the youngsters earn their trade, except in games that have no importance.

The colour of a man's skin is irrelevant and always has been. Eusebius, Pele, Gullit, all great players have earned that greatness because of their skill, and rightly so.

So, someone comes hundreds, even thousands of miles to one or two games a season is a lesser fan than someone who lives a few miles away and goes to four?

A clean sheet would be good for a change.
