What does he want, to play when there's better options, or for us to let him go & leave ourselves short. The simple fact is he's had 10 times the playing time of Gabbi & has blown it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Today ,West Ham & Boscombe are 3 away performances every bit as good as anything Koeman did. I've said all along that given the loss of Mane,Pelle & Vic Puels doing a better job than people make out. Today was proof of that. Stephens played well because of the faith Puel has shown in him, ditto JWP & Redmond. OR is playing far better than he ever did under Koeman. Now he's been given a striker who can score and more importantly make intelligent runs, we've got the makings of a decent little side. If he can get more consistency out of Tadic, we really will be in business. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Pony It's time we won something. Lose today & we still won't go down. Lose at Wembley it maybe another 10 years before we get the chance again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All that matters today is that we don't get any injuries or a sending off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're right,the whole thing stinks. I'm lucky enough to have a S/T but can still see the unfairness of it. Allowing people to become members just because we got to a cup final is just a short term money making scheme. If they really wanted to drive the membership scheme & make it a long term alternative to having a S/T then they should have just gone S/T holders, followed by members ( but closed entry in sept)as I'm pretty sure there weren't that many members come the start of the season. They could have sold the memberships on the back of "priority" for tickets after S/T holders, so nobody could complain. It would mean that next season and subsequent seasons memberships would have become popular.What they've done now is killed it stone dead. Who is going to shell out £25 at the start of the season, when they can just pay £25 when we get to a cup final. FFS surely that makes more business sense. The problem you've got is so many people will get tickets, and the people who get them won't be complaining. If they had thousands of complaints, then they may realise the cock up this is. But as they wont get many, and people with a genuine grievance like yours, will also get mixed up with other non deserving sob stories, that they'll just ignore it. I know it's a forlorn plea, but I hope everybody who thinks this system unfair writes in to the club, even if they did get a ticket. I certainly will be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The authorities have clearly given up on enforcing seating in certain areas of the ground & away supporters. Therefore it seems completely and utterly pointless to continue to oppose safe standing areas. At the moment we have non safe standing areas. I know it's the law, but the football authorities should be pushing for this asap. I'm in my 50's and although prefer sitting accept that when I buy an away ticket im going to stand. However, I'm not sure I'd like to at 65 and certainly not when I start taking my grandson away. Clearly, being able to pick your away seats will help, but having separate standing and sitting blocks has to be the way forward. Wembley is going to be interesting because there will be a lot of people not used to away games that'll be forced to stand or get upset. I wonder whether the club could have done more work with supporters groups/forums to "suggest" blocks for the more boisterous fans. Calling it a singing section maybe corny but "singing"'would clearly be code for standing. They can't be seen to encourage standing but they could have dropped some ****ing great hints. I just hope that everybody gets to watch the game in the manner they want to watch it and things don't get too heated . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Koeman wouldn't have got us anywhere near Europe without Vic, Mane & Pelle. Anyway he didn't strictly get us into Europe . Arsenal & Man C did . I guess we've been in so many finals that we can dismiss them as meaningless unless we win it. God help Puel if we happen to win on pens , no doubt you'll be claiming he " only won a penalty shoot out" . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's amazing that Poch or Koeman never got to a cup final seeing how easy it is. But of course we only got there because Liverpool are shiete. Let's just forget that that we've played them 3 times & have yet to concede ( they were blowing everyone away around the time of the first game) , Puel has never lost to Liverpool or that Klopp has never been knocked out in any of the semi finals he's reached. It really does make me laugh. Everybody would have taken a drop off in the league for a final pre season, but now it's not good enough. Thank god there was no internet around in '76 because some clowns would have been bemoaning the lack of promotion & citing luck in drawing a 4th division side in the quarters & 3rd division in the semis. Of course Lawrie did get stick at first, not that anyone will admit giving it.So at least the Internet gives us the opportunity to revisit some posts in the coming year or two. There's going to be some right chumps giving up season tickets and boycotting games if we're in the group stages of the EL again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just because there's a lot of high earning EU nationals, does not mean that at the lower end of the wage scale,uncontrolled EU migration has not suppressed wages. But you crack on with dismissing people's concerns and keep calling them liars. Personally, I'm grateful for people with your attitude because without people like you , Brexit would never have happened. Your ilk have even ensured we have a "hard" Brexit. So I'm doubly thankful. The whinging and whining is just the icing on the cake. Perfect..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Trains are a nightmare for this one as well. No trains between Basingstoke & Woking, being redirected towards bandit country Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Puel is one win away from becoming the first man since Lawrie to qualify for Europe without relying on other sides. WGS got in because Arsenal were already in CL. The last 2 years because CL clubs won cups. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Trains will be a nightmare & drinking round Wembley will be a nightmare . We've hired a mini bus , going to get to London about 11. Drink in Ealing , Harrow or somewhere similar & then hit Wembley about 3 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Even if he hasn't played for a year you could chuck a class player into a cup final and he'd get by on adrenalin, however when it's a centre half who has to play in a partnership it does become extremely risky. My guess based on absolutely nothing is it's too early & we'll go for Yoshida & Stephens on the day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it's that easy to reach a cup final it's funny how we never did so under Poch or Koeman when we were playing your uptempo style. I guess Sunderland & Sheff Utd were so much better than Arsenal & Liverpool . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why don't we do it at our first major cup final for 14 years and only our 3rd in 40 odd . That'll show the world what we think of Reed & Puel's utter failure this season Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
