A few years ago I remember Rob Styles giving a penalty for Liverpool against Sheffield Utd when a defender attempted to tackle Gerrard, made no contact at all but the penalty was given. If that is indeed the rule then it's a rubbish one.

I'm pretty sure drinking on coaches is actually illegal, and they'd probably chuck you off if they caught you, so I wouldn't reccommend it. You only save 5p, but I imagine the unofficial coach will at least have a smaller % of losers on it.

Probably walking straight into a Wembley Cup Final!

Thinking about staying in either Liverpool or Blackpool for this one. The latter a bit further afield granted.

Jos did a decent job at Stoke and will adequately fit in alongside Yoshida. Not ideal but not the end of the world. We need a CB though and quick, because if one of those two pick up a knocks it looks like it's down to Martin.

I think it's not really any of their business, but they'll be listened to.

It's a stupid rule. If you want to buy 100 tickets and they all meet the criteria for that selling period then what's the issue?

Had we ever met them in any competition before the game earlier this season?

Been looking forward to this all season.

Rickie must be licking his lips.

2-1

Awful defending. It's bottom half Championship level at best.

What a miss!

That email is spot on. Boca-River Plate games have NOTHING on the famous fratton atmosphere, all 9,000 of them.

Very pleased with the KO time. We're staying up the Saturday night so at least 1.30pm allows us to be home at a reasonable hour for work the next morning.

Has this sold out? I'm trying to buy an extra ticket for a mate of mine and all I'm getting is the "error locking your seats" message?

I assume Chelsea haven't been to Arsenal or Liverpool yet then.

Just back in the car, what a game that was. Blaming Guly is the easy option but it wasn't as easy as wing made out, it shot back at him at some speed at quite an awkward height. He of course should have buried it. IMO J Rod's miss was just as bad but he won't get any flack at all. Overall Adkins got it spot on, we matched their boring dull route one football.

In fairness, on the Sunderland build up thread, you said "Lallana is back :)"

If there is one game I'd love us to win more then any this season, it's away at Stoke. Pulis is a complete and utter cock.

I see the forum has us down as playing Barcelona again. I might not even bother going now, we've lost already...

Got them down the TO in the end. Nigel Adkins causally strolled past whilst in the queue. Nice car he's got.

Has happened to at least 6 others that I know of. Are all their "ErrorInput strings" in the wrong format too, whatever that means!

Wont allow me to buy Villa tickets. Doesnt even recognise me as a ST holder! Get this error message -1 01 Jan 1970 ErrorInput string was not in a correct format. £0.00

You're dead right Spudgun but this is Saints TO we are talking about!
