If tickets were limited to 55,000 how come 10,000 of them didn't turn up? Surely if they were that hard to come by people would be selling them on the black market for a nice big mark up. On the subject of which, does anyone know the prices for this? If you're after equality you need to be asking at least £50 a ticket for a game at Wembley.

More 'Spurs away' defending from Lovren for the second.

This kind of stuff is all possible for some people but not everyone. Bingo bus - It saves money but you then have to get to St Mary's (or possibly Winchester/Eastleigh is the other pick up?) through rush hour traffic. That means leaving work even earlier which isn't an option for everyone. Sure you can eat before you set off but again that will take some time and mean leaving work earlier. Then you're going from about 4pm to 1am without any food. We can sit here splitting hairs over the finer details but it's different for every individual. Even if the bingo bus works out perfectly for you, and you go max. cost saving you're going to spend 5 hours sat on a coach, have to leave work early, get to bed after 1am and fork out £60. That just isn't everyone's cup of tea.

The ONLY reason I would want to go to this game instead of watching it on a warm comfy sofa is for the atmosphere and to cheer the team on. Sitting in silence, even if we score in order to avoid getting kicked out/head kicked in just isn't worth going at all for. For me it would be away end or nothing. Even cost saving and with a fairly efficient car (baring in mind the traffic) you are going to spend at least £85 and be starving by the time you get home.

£40 a ticket, £50 for a return drive to Brum. A pie, a pint, a Burger King at the services and parking will easily make up the rest. Even if you find someone to share a ride with you're still looking at £75

Brenda, if it's any consolation, we don't have any sympathy for you either.

Personally I reckon all tickets for TV fixtures should be half price, with the resulting drop in revenue being covered Sky or BT accordingly. For many people £100 on a evening out in Birmingham just isn't an option. Not when it could be a choice between that and buying the kids X-mas presents.

Rush hour traffic on the M40 Getting home at 1am with work the next morning £40 a ticket with another £50 in fuel a month before X-mas when it's on Sky for free. Can't really blame people for not going to this one.

The standard of football is just bad. I only saw the highlights of that game but it seemed to be played at the same pace as that Saints Web match we played about 5 years ago, without too much extra talent. Still this is the BBC so anything to do with 'equality' and they're all over it.

I'm surprised that I am still surprised about Liverpool. Just when you think they can't get any worse they delve into new depths of badness.

"What are you laughing about?" - Dad

Not even close IMO, has done nothing against anyone decent since Euro 2004. A tap in against Uruguay being his only contribution to any of the World Cups. Bagging them in during qualifiers against San Marino, Estonia and Montenegro does not make you great.

This reminds me of that Roy Hodgson comment about Townsend being a monkey, in the sense that nobody was actually offended but the press felt the need to tell everybody it was a big offensive racism scandal. All I see is an old man making lazy stereotypes. In a world where we've got busses full of people being executed because they haven't memorise the Qur'an I don't think we need to get to excitable about some old bloke in Wigan talking nonsense.

I've got Hull, Palace, Lewis Hamilton and Sunetra from strictly in an accumulator.

Just looking at Utd's away kit, why would you put buttons and a collar on a football shirt? Like it's some sort of smart-casual evening wear.

A draw at Goodison perfect for us IMO.

Jonathan Forte banging them in for Oldham at the moment.

We have problems?

If they leave it will be for not much less than £50m for the pair. No reason we can't replace them with players of similar ability like we did in summer. Having said that, I'd agree we should keep Cork.

I went to La Rochelle when I was a kid. Did it in one drive via the Pompey - Le Harve ferry. No idea if that helps but La Rochelle is a nice enough place.

I think he means Auntie Semitic. Miserable old b*tch, never gave me any money on my birthday. Hang on can I say that?

I personally enjoy passing electric currents through small rodents.

There are plenty of people out there with the hipster mentality who feel the need to identify themselves by going against the popular consensus.
