Thats rich given your performance, like I said take a look at yourself. Maybe take a trip to Old Stratford and people might take you seriously, until then, run along.

[Sandperson]

Gosh, you are in a bad mood today.

[Sandperson]

A good performance from United last night, although the away goal doesn't mean very much, a win's a win. I thought we controlled the game well although Torres should have done better and there was a good shout for a penalty at the death. I think we could have the measure of them at OT but I wouldn't want to play Barca or Real like that.

Only 9 days to go for the Manchester Derby semi-final at Wembley on the 16th. I am going to this (thanks to lovely lassie who got tickets - you know who you are x). Just SO, SO excited, it's unbelievable.

Can't wait!

Anyone else going? Bluerevolution or sandperson perhaps?

[Sandperson]

I'm running the marathon the next day and it's my daughter's birthday so no chance. I also don't have a lovely lassie to get me tickets. :)

[rifleman harris]

I know exactly what you mean Emerson.

I was cock a hoop when our reject Nayim scored 'that goal' to beat Seaman from the half way lane for Zaragoza a few years back.

When I saw Adebayor was in the Madrid side I would have bet my mortgage on that bugger scoring.

[Annasfield]

If you'd been to the earlier games, you'd have been guaranteed one.

[Sandperson]

If I had a season ticket I would be guaranteed one. If I had any spare cash or time I would have one. Thanks for the advice though. :))

On the subject of FA Cup finals, a dreadful, dreadful year for us Sheffield United fans is being brightened up a little by our reaching such a final for the first time, our opponents will be Chelsea or Manchester United and it will be played oer 2 legs.:))

[Laddy Muck]

Only eight days to go...tick tock...

How to showboat when taking a penalty

[Annasfield]

It wasn't meant as advice or a dig for that matter.

Its something that really pisses me off with supporters at LFC and I'm sure United have the same problem. People (season ticket holders or not) who go to every game that got the team to the semi final or final often miss out on tickets because all of a sudden that match is very popular. Most clubs have introduced a loyalty system so that people can't just decide they want to go to that match. It's my opinion that its unfair that you can not go to any matches all season and then get a semi final or a final ticket, hence the comment about attending earlier matches.

[Sandperson]

Sorry Anna. You know what it's like on here sometimes.

Totally agree about the tickets. I'd love to go but it would be a bit 'fair weather' of me. I know there was also the debate on the other side of this, certainly at United, about the season ticket holders and the automatic cup ticket scheme which meant they had to buy the tickets whether they waned them or not. I think this has been revised now.

[mockney piers]

one third of cup final tickets are corporates, so all fans lose out frankly. west ham got allocated a little over 20k tickets in total for THAT match in Cardiff.

[Annasfield]

It was same for us Mockney. The club get an allocation, sort of the sponsors and players requirements and the fans get the rest. Disgraceful.

Anyway, may the best team win. Should be a good game.

I think ill take a ticket for the wembley box that weekend. I don't like football though, but who cares.

[Sandperson]

If only I knew someone who worked fir a sponsor... Someone like Aon maybe. ;)

[Laddy Muck]

AON would be perfect - Sandperson.

PS: DH just lost 2 - 1 against Worthing. Good away crowd: taught me some new chants LOL! Definitely getting a season ticket next year (a snip at ?60!!!!).

[pablogrande]

Don't know Pablo chiquito ! Ummmm.........

[Annasfield]

If you'd asked 2 days ago I'd probably would have been able to help. None going spare at the moment, but if that changes I'll let you know.

[matthew123]

Pablo I pvt msg u but I have a spare, 35 quid

[Ladygooner]

Great result for Liverpool last night - Carroll is a good addition to their side. Lets hope he doesn't do a repeat of the Newcastle match at the Emirates on Sunday and score the only goal!
