In principal, I'm against the play-offs but as a day out - it's just amazing! I cancelled a family holiday once to take my lad but the mrs at the time was rather put out. No chance of cancelling it the next year when they made it again. She had to go a couple of years later...

We have a loyalty points system which gives priority to season ticket holders first and then those who have been to loads of away games etc. Which is fair enough.

With respect, we've got loads more fans than Hull so it's probably going to be more difficult (if!).

We also have lots of wealthy fans as it's Brighton so yeah, I get what nai is saying but I reckon the expensive packages would get snapped up pretty quick too.

Anyway, I'm not counting chickens.

Well that was a letdown.  Well done Wigan who clearly wanted it more.  Why Bobby took Tevez off for Rodwell was a mystery?  Looks like he's on the way out now too.... Madness!

It was bloody depressing. I watched it with my wife,who isn't really interested, and even she seemed to notice how disinterested and lacklustre city seemed.
Its just a bit of a mess at moment but 2nd in premiership (hopefully) is still an achievement.

For once my football tipping went my way this weekend...thanks variously to Wigan, Man Utd, Chelsea, Tottenham and Barcelona I went from £2.50 in my account to a current balance of over £30.

Just wish I'd stuck them all in one massive acca with the £2.50 stake now!

Don't fuck with Tony Bloom.

Poyet should have known better than to try to bluff a world champion poker player.

What the internet was invented for: Eagles that look like Arsene Wenger... genius.  I wonder if any of them have a habit of swooping down on French teenagers?

That's actually pretty skank if I'm honest. Cluttered, as my mum would say.

This is interesting:

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/arsenal-could-afford-25m-transfer-fee-claims-club-chief-ivan-gazidis-opening-door-for-wayne-rooney-move-8648534.html

Haven't Arsenal always said that money was available but Arene The Eagle chose not to spend it? Now they're admitting that he has been restricted previously and that they were never in a position to compete with big fees / wages (but are now). I'd be a bit pissed off if I was Wenger as a lot of (admittedly stupid) people have blamed him rather than the board for Arsenal's thriftiness.

He's gotta have incriminating photos of Ashley doing something REALLY bad.  :devil-smiley:
