Why should someone who has never been to an away game, or fancies a trip to a big one, get priority over a fan that will be going to Hull on a tuesday night, for example?

How many away fans were there? Couple of thousand tops is suggest. You're not telling me that anywhere near half went and bought something. Far less people = quicker service. As I said I'm not quite sure what people are expecting from a football stadium catering. On the rare occasions I've had something its been adequate, not great not awful, the queues are as you'd expect from 10,000 gannets trying to stuff their faces. I'm not really sure why people expect anything more.

I dont really know what peoples expectations are to be honest. You're at a football ground surrounded by 30,000 people, many of which are greedy and overweight. I reckon at least a third of them will go down to the concourse at half time for a slash or to eat or drink. I'd like to see how many other businesses can cope with serving that many people AND give them time to drink and eat what they want in a 15 minute window. I'm surprised at the constant whinging that people dont have time to queue with all the other greedy f*ckers that cant go 45 minutes without eating and drinking and eat and drink whatever it is in that they want in that time frame. As for the standard of food and drink, again what exactly do you expect to get inside a football stadium? You're not going to get culinary delights are you! Seriously people need to get a grip, I really dont understand what people expect. Can people queue for a pint in a packed pub, get served and drink it within 15 minutes? Can people queue in a busy McDanalds, get served and eat their burger inside 15 minutes? I would say the answer to both would be no, so why should they expect it to be the case inside a football stadium with many many more people in it and not only that but expect top notch grub. It is what it is, junk food to fill a whole if you cant cope with not being able to watch a football match with your gut full of as many pies, burgers and choclate bars you can eat.

What on earth are you banging on about now? Just because you've made yourself look a bit of a din because i shared a first hand experience which has now been verified then a simple apology would do. "Share empathy" LMFAO!! What that a bloke ordering a pie at a football ground didn't get silver service and michelin standard food!!!

it's not an opinion though Les is it it's a fact, we haven't beaten a team in the bottom half at home since November and Pochetino never has in this country. In fact the only team in the bottom half he has beat home or away based on last seasons positionings is Reading, who had lost something like 5 in a row already when we played them. There is cleary a problem there somewhere. Maybe the new players can help address this but early signs against Sunderland suggest there is still a lot of work to be done. Still struggling to break down teams who come and defend deep and still suseptable to the long diagonal ball in behind.

newcastle also scored a couple of their goals against us this way. Sunderland wasn't different, their first clear chance came in virtually the first minute of the second half, another ball in behind for Ji to run onto luckily his finish ws powder puff otherwise we'd have had to aggresively chase the game even more and where would that have left us! Im confident too that with Wanyama and Lovern there we are better equipped to handle counter attacks and long balls but there is still work to be done, as was blindingly obvious from the saturday. As for your comment on how well we handled Stoke and West Ham compared to Swansea, remind me how many goals those two clubs scored against us compared to Swansea last season.

One of my favourite types of posts on mongboards is and entire post having a go at other posters for their post not being constructive, fantastic irony. Anyway, having set next to Johnny Bognor for all of last season I have witnessed first hand his outrage at the smaller than advertised crisps and tea, as per my post. Its a far more constructive post than the spiteful bile you've just posted, stop being so angry, if you can't handle Saintsweb there is always mums net.

Pochetino didn't beat a single team below 7th at home, Adkins beat 3 of the bottom 10 with the same players so its not even we can't handle being favourites. What it shows to me is that we can't handle teams that come to defend, we can't break them down and aren't strong enough defensively to not concede for 90 minutes and shut the back door, so to speak. Of course we've added Lovern and Wanyama to the squad to shore things up at the back and Osvaldo to help up top so this season its too quick to judge. Last season though we were undone by teams the played on the counter, look at QPR, awful but Redknapp out thought MP tactically, which worries me. MP seems a bit of a one trick pony. The worry is that QPR didn't do anything special, defended competently and a long ball into th channel between the full back and centre half and they scored twice that way, Newcatle beat us that way too, WBA beat us on the counter attack, plenty to work on there but we don't seem to learn from it. For all the back slapping as to how good we are Sunderland also had two very good chances in the second half which thy could easily have scored, again they came from balls In behind, are we learning? it seems not. Defend deep and well, get it forward quickly and there is a good chance you'll beat us. It seems a little bit too easy for a team that is meant to be so good.

De Ridder has pace, he's gone because he's sh*t. Teams can cope with sh*t players with pace. Good ones with pace, well there ain't many around.

Add this we only beat 3 of the bottom 10 at home last season, which is pretty poor considering home form is key for clubs like us. Still, is flimsy evidence from a so called journalist who is talking nonsense and doesn't know what he's on about. we're brilliant, end of.

What is concerning is our lack of goals, none from open play this season and I believe this is now only 5 from our last 8 premier league games.

I'm going down from Harrogate mate and will be paying on the gate, don't panic.

Become a holding midfielder, you'll never need to leave the centre circle.

She already has, didnt you know? Anyway, as Krackers says, I wish you would. You seem to be making a very poor attempt to take over from DPS as the forum hardman but are too much of an imbecile to pull it off.

We still haven't spent all the £90m we got for last season yet.

I'll beat you up and 'tax' yours along with some beer money then.

Well I'm heading down and not got a ticket so hope it is pay on the gate.

Agreed. Aintforever is one of the most abusive and I am standing up to him. He seems to be coming round as he's posted something I agree with, so it's working

Calm down Suzy, I thought one of the best things about your mob was your sense of humour. Btw how can I bully you when you've hot me on ignore? Or at least I think you have you might have mentioned it once or twice.

I hear he got a job as a postman but got fired becuse he kept on missing the box.

I think Micheal Barrymore saying 'fancy a swim.' to his mate over a gram of Charlie was a bit worse.

He's a popular figure over there, did some work on Spanish TV and appeared on their version of dancing on ice.

Agreed.

Today is the day!! I knew it would happen eventually, although at times I began to lose hope. Well done on managing to post without mentioning playing football or living in Italy. I feel like this is a pivotal day in mongboard history.
