Im all sorted, helpful hint, avoid using firefox. First time its ever not worked but spent nearly an hour using that with no luck, intenet explorer five minutes, sorted.

So frustrating! Keep getting to the part where you select how many tickets you want, I do that, then it takes me straight back to the previous page! maddening!

Virginmedia decides this morning is the time to not work, fibre optic broadband my arse! On the ticket bit now but it keeps taking me backwards! :/ Question, to anybody who's having similar problems, the ten minute window you get, does it expire if the website isnt working?!?

Serious lack of poetry for me from Poch. Adkins was vague but I used to love his press conferences and thought he was often vague for a reason. Not always too much info what on one hand sucks but keeps other teams guessing about injuries etc etc ..

Thanks for the reply, interesting to have such a wide ranging role! Straight up managers and chairmen seems to be going out of fashion, with us too it must be said. Hope to scouts keep doing the good work for you guys! Obviously not at our expense of course

Not a bad return on either, well worth a couple of quid for the pessimists out there! Money where your mouth is lads

Question, was Ashworth responsible for much of your transfer policy and, if so, has he been replaced? I only ask as WBA have found some real bargains in the last few seasons and, depending on if they can continue this pattern, I think it's fair to say you could continue to make steady progress or drop back into mid table obscurity for a few seasons (by no means a bad thing! bite your arm off for that) ...

Its the party line, the press hate us we hate them, come on surely we know this by now!

Genuine tip for those still concerned we'l go down, stick a pound or two on it with any bookie that'l give you odds! The odds will be v long if even on show and, if you'r proved correct, your pessimism will be rewarded!

Good point but he did give him a chance at the weekend and, although a v short cameo, looked decent. Think he'l get a few more chances before the end of the season to prove himself to MP, might get a pre season too, if the manager has faith he can get more from him ...

Or just buy them online?

Spot on. Would ne a nice feature and cant hurt to have a few links with other clubs, away day info etc etc ..

I cant name names but I have heard plenty of pundits being very positive about him. Nope I think you'r right we would have hoped for more but it's still early days yet for him AND mayuka. See how both are looking come this time next year then might be time to make full asessments.

Good shout. Depending on who we bring in Mayuka out on loan may not be the worst shout, maybe for six months with recall option to somebody in the championship to keep him learning the english game, must be somebody who'd fancy taking a punt on him!

If Chambers is ready for prem football ok but surely, should he want it, giving Richardson a short extension might be worthwhile? Cork CAN play rb fairly well but he is wasted there for me, too important in the middle of the park.

Dont disagree with too much of that though Mayuka surely is worth keeping for longer and I still rate Richardson, cant think oh him doing much wrong when called upon this season and could still do a job for sure.

They are here on merit. Dont like this "belong" thing, kind of suggests a clubs history etc illustrates where they should be in the league, its that kind of thinking that keeps liverpool fans in delusional bubbles and I hope our fans can avoid such things especially considerring our recent touch with near extinction!

Any idea why? The club website had them as sold out. Were these home tickets, purposefully segregated ones, held back for some reason? Bizarre ...

No worries pal, 1. Good. Always said anything above 17th would be a success and I stand by that. 2. Exceeded by some way! Had them to struggle with Clarke's inexperience and their relatively small budget but they've done well with some very astute signings. 3. Might be too soon to judge, let him make his own mark next year, but so far so good. I think the difference is that he built well upon what was already in place and has made small but significant improvements to a few individuals as well as changing how we play without the ball. Less sitting back more pressing play. 4. A tad bitter about the season your lot stayed up at our expense, was in a pub owned by wba fans at the time! But a very well run club and seem to do things the "right" way. Lot of respect for Pearce's handling of Odemwinge and took a bold step in appointing Clarke. 5. Ah. As above I suppose! Not the first time he's acted like an idiot, players seem very happy to play the martyr but this is a very well paid man throwing his toys out of the pram in a disgraceful way. WBA should be proud thay they stuck to their guns and showed they wont be bullied, hopefully more clubs will follow the example! 6. Was not a great spectacle and, at the time, genuinely believed it may have been Adkins last with all the rumours circling. Still think it may have been his death knell. WBA were clynical and effective with one of the best central midfields we've come up against, bossed the game. 7. Rodriguez. The lad is in real form and is playing with fantastic confidence. Also keep an eye out for Luke Shaw getting down the left flank, see what all the hype is about WBA dont seem to have many "stars" as such but Long always seems to work hard and create something from nothing, Yacob and Mulumbu will give Cork and Morgan one hell of a battle in the middle, that will be one to watch! 8. Honestly job to know. Been a virus striking down players in the last few weeks. Others will give you their best guess for starting XI so I will just add expect a cameo from Mayuka if things aren't going well for Saints. Not got going this season but looks sharp and surely due a goal 9. We've been good at home but I expect a close game with a draw not exactly being a shock, I'l back the boys though and go with saints 1-0 wba. Thanks.

Sure somebody else will have numbers for you, all I know is our allocation sold out, tried and failed to get hold of a couple of tickets.

Ok I was close He looked like he had a trick or two but certainly not special, think SPL level may be the lads limit. I actually rated Ward as a player out of the two mind and would have taken him on his versatility alone had we not gone up. Think it'd have been too much of a gamble to take him straight to the prem, well worth keeping an eye on though I fancy! May yet be playing premiership next season with Palace ...

Cracking!

Villa are the form side and Wigan have the cup so they are favourites. Hope the stay too. Bringing through plenty of the academy, decent manager, good old fan base, Whelan is a twonk, we wont have to travel as far for the away games and the home game is more likely to sell out. Sure Martinez has done well and Wigan deserve credit for staying up as long as they have but it might just be their time ...

Are you well?!?
