Ticket office is blaming Royal Mail. Service can be poor but that’s all the more reason to send out the tickets in good time. I’ve had to arrange a duplicate. Seems I’m not the only one. They’ve had a lot of calls about tickets not having been delivered.

We keep getting reports of Downes being ill. We know his form has suffered. Maybe it’s true that he’s ill and the illness has affected his form. Just a thought.

Thanks. 50/50 sounds much closer to what I saw. Yes they had the better of the first half. That’s not the same as saying they came to win (the point the other poster was making and using a dubious possession stat to back it up). Their tactics worked and they might have nicked a goal. But equally, saints were way too passive first half. As the manager said, a wasted half.

I didn’t see a team that came to win. They time wasted from the very first minute. Where are you getting this 70% first half possession from?

A wig.

First time I’ve seen them under Martín. Blimey, what a shambles. Looks of total bewilderment on the faces of players and fans alike. Short of a miracle he’s a goner surely.

How the hairy bollocks would anyone on this message board know the answer to that?

I think it may have sold out. I was eligible to buy today but got the error message when trying to do so. Most likely reason, no availability.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Can anyone confirm at what point in the season the criterion for away match allocations changes from away games attended last season to away games attended this season? I had in mind it was around the end of the calendar year.

He’s more of a Front Bottom.

Loved watching that. Great memories. Thanks for posting.

Context. I’ve no doubt Will Smallbone’s challenge was poor (haven’t seen it), because he can’t tackle but with 60 goals conceded it’s not like the rest of the team knows how to defend. From day one it’s been as plain as day. This squad, with few exceptions, was never good enough for the PL. A better manager would have got a few more points but relegation was inevitable.

It’s your credit so it’s up to them to find a way to get it to you. Assume you’ve spoken with the ticket office? I have to say I’ve generally found them quite helpful when I’ve spoken with them.

Is this a one pointer or a no pointer?

Without a coherent strategy and way better recruitment they may as well get Jimmy Twizzle.

This simply isn’t true. This reads like you don’t attend matches. If you do, I don’t know what you’re hearing or seeing.

That’s how I saw it yesterday. He’s recognisably a centre forward, something we’ve lacked. He’s rusty. I’m expecting him to improve.

They’re Chelsea fans. Inveterate moaners. He’s a very good footballer.

I wish I had your optimism.

Well that’s a relief. It’s the hope that kills you.

They did.
