Really? does anyone do this with a seat? Also it's her seat, so she would need subsidised for it too. I'm not arguing that the club have acted harshly in removing the ladies ticket however she didn't follow the correct process and must have had some doubt that it would be ok to give a disabled season ticket to her son. If she had have contacted the box office they would have been able to offer the son a ticket in a different area of the ground with the difference in the cost being paid. The disabled ticket would then have been able to go to another fan.

Perhaps if the woman had have let the box office know they could have allocated another disabled supporter with the seat and advised of how the son could upgrade her ticket to be able to use it.

Shame about the pitch then.

Tony Adams?

Geographically wrong and looks like a cock, well done.

No.

We're getting stuffed this weekend, I can't look past our goal getting peppered. Chelsea will have so mushroom to play and we'll receive a stonebaked response from Pardew.

We've basically turned into RTG with a little less Mag Kernt.

We aren't qualifier for a cup competition final for a long long time - case closed.

Got to love that squad depth.

Apart from the Europa League qualification and attacking the cups which we know have been marked as poison by Pardew and those who make the decisions.

He was hand selected by an owner to be the front of the team when his stock was at an all time low. He seems willing to work with restrictions that other managers were not and was rumoured to have had a relationship with Ashley prior to becoming manager. It’s still a job with massive issues but it seems like Pardew is happy to put up with them.

Spend wisely in January using funds we’ve gained from player sales. Gain one or two places in the league and qualify for Europe. This gives a massive lift in the summer as the new recruits have 6 months Premier League experience under their belts. The new TV money comes in the summer, again we spend within our means and improve the squad although some players leave (Cisse and Remy) but we’ve bought in enough quality to manage a decent run in Europe and to attack the cup competitions. Oh but we can dream to be run so well.

To be honest their situation is similar to ours last season, what with being in Europe and struggling in the league, and we all anted Pardew out. Granted the standard of football isn't comparable, but they are genuinely at risk of relegation, having spent a fair bit of money (something Pardew wasn't allowed to do). this, I think what will have been the tipping point was 30 mins odd vs 10 man West Ham and never even remotely threaten their goal. Premature perhaps but there's been stories saying he wasn't well liked by the players from day one, now when you get results those complaints seem minor and irrelevant when you don't they become deafening Good points. He's been unlucky with injuries though, but I guess after spending a fair amount that's not really an excuse. I'd have him here for sure though. They spent 20 mil, most of it on Bony and Shelvey who both look decent. Bony does, shelverys very inconsistent and is he really better than Ki who he sent out on loan? Not for me personally. Sending Ki out on loan really makes me raise an eyebrow about his judgement. There's very little competition but he is the best midfielder I've ever seen in a sunderland shirt (please recall him, Monk!). Catts for me like. Sorry.

His best attribute is that he's a winner.

Wouldn't be any surprise if he didn't even know who he is.

He doesn't stick around very long at clubs that he's managed.

Curse of the Europa League strikes again.

Pardew will be pleased.

Kinnear not being pictured with De Jong could have been an indication the end was nigh.

It's grammatically incorrect as the / sign gives the two the same importance but I did read it incorrectly.

Unless he means the alternatives to the positions so Matic is an upgrade on Mikel and Fernandinho is an upgrade on Demichelis.

Mikel didn't start, it was a three of Matic, Ramires and Luiz.

He's quite highly praised by players he's previously worked with, a few have been on the FF show on Sky and praised his tactical ability.

It's not a form of credit though so although it's breach of contract you've already paid for what you've used, the season card being blocked is the worst they would do.
