Sharing this just in case (OK, it's unlikely) anyone actually gives a shite.

New footballs!

Union. Metro seems to think it translates to United... If so, then

AAaghgggggghhhhhh !!! Wanted it to be today!!!

Sexual.

Have we heard anything more yet about which games are on Sky/ESPN yet?

Newcastle = Gallic flair Sunderland = Phallic glare

It'll be like playing against 1970s Brazil. I'm terrified about it.

Yep. I actually think he's buying players purely to win the derby. Clearly. He's quite the tactical genius.

So is anybody else of the opinion that Bruce has set one target for this season, and one target alone - beat the Mags. To everything.

Hearts have sacked Craig Thomson. Apparently he's joining Falkirk, and Thomson's said he can't wait to play with the Bairns. They've given him a choice of shirt number and he's said anything under 15 is fine with him.

I can't see how he'll survive on the pitch, tbh. You all saw what happened to Neil Lennon at Tynecastle last season. Imagine what they'll do to a convicted paedo, even if he is an important part of their back four?

Can't help wondering what our club's owner and management would do in similar circumstances... OK, so I know it's not a matter of direct concern to our club, and we all know the way that money rules this game these days, but surely it's too far to accept having someone play for the team when you know they've been grooming 12 year old girls.

This.

You can check individual seats when they go on sale for the first time. You'll get the full seating plan and views from your block etc. We're in the middle tier of the Gallowgate, block M. Gallowgate Stand Upper U Row A Oh well...fingers crossed.

Well, you'd be wrong. "Am nort Scortish." Just cos something looks like a sheep, walks like a sheep and sounds like a sheep, doesn't always mean it is a sheep. It may be a very furry pig.

Is there any way of checking exactly where the seat is yet?

When I moved my season ticket a few years ago, I went to a pre-season friendly to test it out and it was fucking restricted view. Fucking hell. Which part of the stadium was that in? Leazes level 4, it was one of the big white railings on the concrete barrier at the front of each block of seats, completely obscured my view of the Leazes penalty area. This was a few years ago now mind, Google images seems to suggest that they're not there anymore or at least not as big, which I'm not surprised about cos there was no way I was paying top whack for that, tbf to the box office, they moved me as soon as I got in contact about it. Realistically unless you're at pitch level or something (and they'd probably have to dig a hole for your seat to have you at pitch level), it's probably difficult to find a shit seat in SJP these days. Where is yours? Away up in the Upper Tier of the Gallowgate. Block U. Hopefully aisle end of a row. Legroom is my biggest concern, as I don't think there should be any restricted view issues from there. Me too GM. See you next season! You're in Block U? Excellent!

Are you meaning Keith Andrews there or this other Keith? Well, Keith Andrews is still there. Due to lack of appearances, I'd thought he'd moved on. http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/5640/unledjhb.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Andrews_(footballer)#Blackburn_Rovers

Just had the confirmation email. I will be annoyed if the seat they've allocate me is a shit one.

Seconded. Although frustrating how the BBC have fucked up the end. Yeah, that was annoying. Going to email them about that actually.
