Didnt actually answer the queston though did you?

I dont know, thats what he alleges and has been alleged by others, but im sure you know it cant be 100% proven. What Cantona did was not ok, he got an eight month ban! Ten games is light. What would your punishment be for an assault from a man with a history of assaults and racially abusing people? Perhaps you think it's severe but plainly previous punishments have served as no detterent.

You'r confusing racism. It can be due to more then simply skin colour. As somebody who's family had escaped fascism under Franco he may well have every right to be sensitive about such discrimination.

Cantona kicked somebody hurling racist abuse. Not ok behaviour but Suarez attacked Ivanovich without genuine provocation. Suarez is a repeat offender (Biting, diving, racism, handballing, punching) and tried to bite somebody AGAIN, all this "oh he didn't draw blood" ... I dont think it was through a lack of trying! Once again he, and Liverpool, are showing no class. Accept that he's done wrong and stop trying to blame everyone else.

Dont care so long as its cheap, was pretty much standard prices last year and they barely sold tickets!

Dont think it should or will happen. Promotion sure, avoiding relegation on the last day of the season, sure.

Such as student to Adult etc? Dont imagine it'd be an issue. Option one speak to the ticket office and explain, option two do nothing and just scan through the automated barriers. The joys of modern technology eh!

Fair shout, good luck getting your lad to a game at the start of next season, hope he has a cracking time and stays away from those northern sides!

Precisely. Hopefully he makes an appearance before the end of the season and kicks on in preseason, shows people what hes made of!

Hope not! Hopefully he'l be determined enough to see it as an oppurtunity to prove why he should be in the first team.

Flawed logic perhaps but he was fancied by Liverpool and over decent sides across Europe, has a good number of caps as a young player for a decent national side ... must be something to the lad even if he's yet to show it. I maintain it's too early to really evaluate him until, perhaps, january next year. If, after a full pre season etc, he still hasnt made the side and put in some decent shows then pitchforks out

Seems bizarre that they didnt, as mentioned above, link games like they have in previous seasons. To be honest I was happy to go to S****horpe to get tickets to see Portsmouth, was actually a good day out that one! Dismayed the points system has been so, frankly, pointless this season and genuinely gutted for those who missed out for the Stoke game. Fortunately being a student working from home for a while spending most of my morning online trying to get tickets was no issue - sure plenty of other folk who sat through the dross that was Wigan, Sunderland or the fa cup hammering from Chelsea should have had a realistic shot at getting tickets for this one!

Dont think you'r jumping the gun a touch ..?

I dont know when/if its ever been used. I've racked up plenty of points but been competing with everyone else on general sale all season. Only thing different today is they didnt allow new accounts to be set up but that certainly doesnt take into account priority as anyone could have an account without ever having purchased tickets ...

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!
