Taylor, Jonas and Shola all back according to Clubcall (yes, I know). Would be criminal if Wiliamson was getting a start ahead of both Taylor and Mapou.

Shows where we are as a club that this bloke is going to get a PL start out of anything other than necessity.

The worst thing is the implications going forward. Williamson will start Saturday now.

Went in today as they'd only sent me two out of three tickets. Was told the other one would be loaded on my season ticket despite it not being my actual seat. Not taking that risk so got one reprinted. Box office is run on a shoestring budget and subsequently a shambles. Only just received my season ticket this week after they had trouble setting up the student price. They then decided to take two DD payments out for this month. Farce of a set up.

They were still selling theirs up until 4pm today.

Available on a free at the moment as well.

Very few seats available online. I guess there could still be blocks they haven't released yet. How many does the lower bowl hold? Must be pushing 40k.

Chris Baird, Jan Mucha, Ebanks-Blake, Titus?!

259 games in 20 years. He must think about what might have been quite a lot.

Hatem is fat in the flesh. Round face.

The fact that tickets are still available for this tells you pretty much all you need to know.

 

 

- No investment

- Shit Manager

- Poor tactics

- Inevitable beating

- On sky, Monday night, £'000 a ticket

 

Exactly. There's no excitement factor about the start of a new season and it's a real shame.

 

Good job then that if you wanted to go on the off chance you couldn't because you won't be a member

 

I don't get why you're attacking me for stating that it's difficult to get excited about this season? It's not like I'm revelling in that fact, it saddens me, but it's the truth.

 

Sarcastic comment fella, wasn't having a pop at all.

Sure no problem - my apologies!

Just watching the Blackpool highlights - whoever is doing the commentary is talking dribble - apparently Shola never fails to deliver.

VI are the Barcleona fans looking forward to seeing Sergi Roberto make the step up this season? As from what I've heard about him he's a bit different to your architectural La Masia graduate and is more about arriving late into the box and get onto the end of things type of midfielder.

Ala Dan Gosling?

Would carry him back here in a heartbeat.

 

Despite the fact its pretty obvious he and Cisse don't work?

 

Great player but if the partnership didn't work well before why all of a sudden would it work now?

So you'd honestly at this stage turn down Demba Ba?

Would carry him back here in a heartbeat.

Has Royston Drenthe to Reading been mentioned?

When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone he switched it on and had 3 missed calls from Joe Kinnear.

 

Was 4 a few hours ago.

That's a blow, been on the thread most of the day though. Just got it text to me and it tickled me. First time i've laughed about the situation.

Have no words for this.

Was resigned to losing him and had convinced myself, like others, when we signed Mapou that we could compensate for his loss, however, our run without him there and then his form upon return reinforced just how vital he is to us.

Was recovering from a cruciate injury and had played 20 games for Everton. I see where you are coming from, but I just found it surprising under the current regime - I guess maybe they thought they had signed a star in the making.

Was one of our better players in Dec/Jan before he was dropped. Get's the ball moving quickly - one of very few of our lads to pass and go.
