I assume that's based on estimated revenues, considering our accounts for 2013/14 haven't been published yet.

I assume there were boos from the sparse home crowd, they love a boo at Goodison.

Won 5-4 on penalties

I assume neither PFC or the PST has released audited accounts yet, still?

Senegal are good, but they have been drawn in the proverbial Group of Death alongside Algeria, Ghana and a resurgent South Africa, so it's a bit of a wild stab in the dark as to whether they'll qualify for the knockout stages. If they do get through the group, though, they'd be highly fancied to go all the way.

Spurs seem to be the polar opposite of us last season, they take ages to get into games and then go mad in the latter stages as they seek to rescue results.

How has the ref given that as a free kick that far outside the box?!

2-0, surely game over

McQueen's looked very good here, just looks so much stronger and more composed than the rest.

Only until New Years Day

Who is the commentator? Not exactly a smooth commentating voice... Oh, and GOAL

For me, I just have to log in and it's already in my basket (along with the tickets for everyone else on my friends and family list who hasn't yet bought theirs ), so try just logging in and then click on the basket at the top of the screen.

Surprised they get a choice. Normally, unless there are different price categories or restricted view tickets, the home club basically tells the away club in which order they want the tickets sold, so if they don't sell them all and want to return some, they can be resold to home fans. If 44 and 45 are the only ones available, that suggests they've probably already sold 46, 47 and 48 (the latter two are combined, right in the corner, I think), but that they're not going to sell the 500 or so they'd get in 43 until they know they're actually going to be needed. The fact that all of 42 is available to home fans seems to imply that they've decided the 3100 allocation is enough and they won't be wanting any more. Really difficult to believe the club would balls that up twice in the space of a few weeks.

20 points dropped from winning positions last season: Chelsea (away) 1-0 up, lost 3-1 Tottenham (home) 1-0 up, lost 3-2 Sunderland (away) 2-0 up, drew 2-2 Arsenal (home) 1-0 up, drew 2-2 Stoke (home) 1-0 and 2-1 up, drew 2-2 West Ham (away) 1-0 up, lost 3-1 Tottenham (away) 2-0 up, lost 3-2 Man United (home) 1-0 up, drew 1-1 A frankly ridiculous 29 points dropped from winning positions in 2012/13: Man City (away) 2-1 up, lost 3-2 Man United (home) 1-0 and 2-1 up, lost 3-2 Everton (away) 1-0 up, lost 3-1 Fulham (home) 1-0 up, drew 2-2 Swansea (home) 1-0 up, drew 1-1 Norwich (home) 1-0 up, drew 1-1 Stoke (away) 1-0 and 3-1 up, drew 3-3 Arsenal (home) 1-0 up, drew 1-1 Man United (away) 1-0 up, lost 2-1 Wigan (away) 2-1 up, drew 2-2 Newcastle (away) 1-0 up, lost 4-2 West Ham (home) 1-0 up, drew 1-1 To contrast that, our record in past seasons when losing has been pretty poor as well. Last season, 6 points gained from losing positions: Sunderland (home) 1-0 down, drew 1-1 Man United (away) 1-0 down, drew 1-1 Stoke (away) 1-0 down, drew 1-1 Man City (home) 1-0 down, drew 1-1 Newcastle (away) 1-0 down, drew 1-1 Arsenal (home) 2-1 down, drew 2-2 In 2012/13, 9 points: Aston Villa (home) 1-0 down, won 4-1 Fulham (home) 2-1 down, drew 2-2 Fulham (away) 1-0 down, drew 1-1 Chelsea (away) 2-0 down, drew 2-2 Wigan (away) 1-0 down, drew 2-2 Sunderland (away) 1-0 down, drew 1-1 Stoke (home) 1-0 down, drew 1-1 This season, only 4 points so far: West Ham (away) 1-0 down, won 3-1 Aston Villa (away) 1-0 down, drew 1-1 But we've only actually been behind at any stage in 8 league games this season. Only Chelsea and Man City have better records than that, with 6 and 7 respectively.

Agent Connolly finally leaves Pompey by "mutual consent". A fine job, well done.

The club still don't seem to have quite nailed the "buying your own seat for cup games" thing on the online ticket site. For the Ipswich game, it wouldn't let me buy tickets for anyone on my friends and family list, so everyone had to buy separately. It's gone from one extreme to the other for the Palace game, as when I logged in, my basket was automatically full with tickets for ALL of my friends and family who hadn't already bought theirs! Had to manually remove each one

Yeah, that's been standard practice since we got promoted, and makes a certain degree of sense. That said, I'm not sure the club would necessarily allow you to return a purchased away ticket so having bought it, you're committing to attending.

3 different takers as well

The rubbish Spurs have turned up tonight in the first half, which means it'll once again be down to Christian Eriksen to score an 89th minute winner against the run of play.

AFC Wimbledon's pitch was in much better condition as well.

On this occasion, yep!

You know Sunderland will somehow scramble a jammy equaliser in the second half though. That's just what they do.

Evans was released from prison 83 days ago, and it's taken him this long to say that?

No we haven't, QPR are only giving away teams the upper tier, has been the case since after the first game of last season (Sheffield Wednesday had the whole end on the opening day, but they changed their policy after that game).
