Club Wembley have said they’re cancelling any tickets sold on resale sites. Not sure how they’ll be able to do that but there’s always a risk. The only way to guarantee a ticket is to take out the 3 year club Wembley membership which will set you back about £7.5k in total. Gets you all england games, Fa Cup semis and final, carabao cup final and charity shield. You can sell any tickets you can’t use on their portal but it’s obviously a risk you may be stuck with tickets you don’t want.

Whoops. I meant Munchingflapjack of course

See Leverkusen have said Thuram will definitely leave in the summer.

Here’s hoping Barca take them to pens on Thursday.

Interesting to see if he plays Jow on the left and brings Joe back in to the middle. Maxi brings a lot to the side when he plays like yesterday but there’s no getting away from the fact we’ve looked far more vulnerable in recent weeks.

Karius, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Longstaff. Bruno, Joelinton, Almiron, Isak, ASM Subs: Gillespie, Ashby, Lascelles, Targett, Willock, Wilson, Murphy, Fraser, Anderson, Ritchie.

ASM, Gordon and Miggy in behind Isak. Get into them.

Terrible news. One of the good guys. RIP.

Just noticed that both Boro and the mackems also play at home tomorrow. Thought the fixture computer was meant to sort this shit out?

From Brenda’s presser today: “It’s been a conversation the club have been having for a while. His contract is clear where it’s at. For me, it’s about making sure James is playing at the best level he can be. He’s staying available and fit.” You speak with him personally? “Yeah, I speak openly with the players, especially with the situation with him. We have a whole host of players out of contract in the next 18 months. That connection between the manager and player is important. It’s a constant dialogue.” What would it mean for Maddison to sign? “It’d be great. He’s a top player in the league. He’s shown that in his time here gradually. You can see that development take place. We improve players and give them great conditions to work in. But I won’t be begging a player to stay. They get great support here and if they’ve been here, they understand what the club is about. Players' careers are short and they have to think about the future. I understand what they’re thinking.”

Find it bizarre that it’s just over a week til the final and Man United still have three games to play.

Just be mindful that Club Wembley have said that they’re in the process of identifying and cancelling all tickets for sale on unauthorised resale sites. Not sure how they’d do that like but it could be an awful lot of money to burn to not get there. If you’re willing to spend big money to go then the most legit way would be to buy a club Wembley membership, £2.5k a year (3 year min term), which gets you all CC cup final, FA Cup semis and final, Charity Shield and all England games. They have a portal where you can sell your tickets to other members if you can’t go. Think I worked out before you could probably recoup about £1.5k-£2k a year in tickets. So the ticket for the final would probably end up more than you’d pay on a resale site (and an arse on to sell your other tickets) but you’d have the trade off that it’s 100% legit and a guarantee of a ticket if we make a final in the next 2 seasons too.

I’m going for early fry up in the hotel, tube to Wembo about 10.30. The closest tube for me from hotel to Wembley Central, but have I fuck waited my whole life to not walk down Wembley way, so making a detour to make sure I get off at Wembley Park. Into boxpark for a bit, then meander down Wembo way to the white horse at 1ish. Couple of beers there, see where the atmosphere is and then into the stadium for 2.30-3ish.

40k of which is people on stag dos

Even if he doesn’t come here I can’t see him signing a deal there, as other top 6 clubs will be after him on the cheap this summer

Not yet - apparently it’s an e-ticket that’ll come 5 or so days before the final.

Or an Adam P tribute

I waited until the draw. Had them in my basket and as soon as Southampton v NUFC were drawn I hit pay. My mate tried it 5 mins later and they’d gone up £500.

Take a punt on them before we got to the final. You could get them for about £500 immediately after the quarters.

Just meant this seasons home shirt with an embroidered cup final logo like we did in 98 and 99

Would be nice if they actually released a final shirt, not just a new training kit with a few shite patterns on

If they’re fit I’d go: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Longstaff, Joelinton, Gordon, Isak, Murphy, Wilson. I think if there’s any doubt over ASM and Miggy I’d hold them back. Similarly if there’s any doubt over Wilson I’d put Isak up top and bring in Fraser and move Gordon centrally.

Reckon you could get Ward Prowse for c£25m if Southampton go down. Put him in the position Bruno’s been playing this season, push Bruno further forward.
