I think that's one of the funniest things I've ever read.

Oh yeah, I can't wait! I almost feel sorry for their small proportion of fans who aren't complete ****s.

He's always had a top work rate for us and tracks back as willingly as any winger.

Train up on Saturday for £1. Train back on Monday for £1. Result.

Agree completely. I was impressed with the "customer experience" (for want of a better way to sum it up)... particularly in terms of getting in and out of the stadium. The PA got on my nerves, not due to the sound quality, just due to the desire to squeeze some music in at all costs. The food prices are astronomical but you know that in advance so get some food before or after. Simple. £4 a pint is roughly what you would expect to pay at most premium sports venues and is not much more than many pubs. As to whether it was all money well spent.... I'm not sure. I think the Millenium stadium was uncommonly cheap though and comparisons between now and then are not really like for like. For starters the price of steel went up massively over the last few years and the cost of finance is obviously higher now also.

I thought the whole thing was insipid and tiresome. The questions were rarely answered and the host did nothing to justify his presence. Complete waste of time.

The best thing about this thread is that I am planning what I would do differently / the same the next time we go to Wembley and it doesn't feel stupidly unrealistic to do so.

Would we have to listen to Kasabian?

Why did anyone think £3.33 was a good price for a pint in an awful area of London (especially when you add the £10 entry fee) anyway? You can get a good quality pint in central London for £3.50.

I was in the section where the Northam lot were and there were definitely boos straight away. The only conclusion can be that a lot of the Northam lot are a bit mental.

You could have done what the fella on my train did on Saturday night and **** in a bin.

Yeah, loads of people

No one bit then!

Anyone who enjoys winding people up on the internet is pretty pathetic IMO.

I will be in Borough on Saturday evening. No plans for the Sunday night yet - any good shouts?

Aye Swindon away reminded me of the times I used to go to early League Cup away ties when we were in the Prem. That sinking feeling that no player is going to do themselves justice, that a less talented team will do you because they're better organised, that the home fans will be talking about beating Southampton. Absolutely gutting.

Fair points - that away leg was amazing, despite the result. I'll tell you what: JPT win this year Auto promotion next year Championship play-offs the year after How does that grab ya

That's rubbish. If he was, his analysis wouldn't extend beyond, "we'll be wanting to score more than them", "we'll not be wanting to concede one".

There must be a possibility that PFC still owe them £250k (or more) and they are simply willing to waive that final payment upon cancellation now of the loan ie. they don't think they'll get paid so they might as well get their man back.

Now you've embarrassed yourself in front of all the grown-ups.

That would be absolutely extraordinary and quite, quite wrong on many grounds.

Unacceptable IMO. Dire and defensive. We need width. Width and pace. Pace and width's what you need. And samba skills. And width and pace.

I have no idea why you think Pardew has been negative, at least since we got our team settled anyway. We have been playing with two out and out strikers and two wingers with licence to roam. Hammond is encouraged to get in the other team's box regularly. We have full-backs popping up in the six yard box to slot home tap-ins. It's hardly cattanacio. On Sunday we will pick the team most likely to win the match based on who's available. No doubt it will not be wide enough for you.

They took a throw-in. The guy receiving the ball decided he wanted to take it so caught it and then retook it. The ref allowed it. They scored. It rained that day too.
