I wouldn’t if I knew they were going to chuck me out the ground for it. After what went on in Turkey (?) I think the decision was totally understandable. Why is it the refs who are the ones who must use common sense and not the players etc in their behaviour. Abuse of refs is out of control at all levels and needs reigning in. Lets see how Dalot acts the rest of the season.

Around 11am latest I’d imagine. Done them many years ago. Good fun.

Actually preferred the bus ride era compared to the metro ride ?

No problem. Like I’ve been debating since start of the season the home ticket system has been a far bigger mess than the away games. Absolutely rife for touting from anywhere around the world with a membership. Its the ST holders that have the restrictions so the club knows who’s in those seats either the holder themselves or a guest. The whole ticketing changes were brought in to a degree because people weren’t happy that a number of people had 35+ STs in one name each and therefore were using as a sideline for home and away games including coach travel etc. That’s why there was an amnesty to confirm a name for each seat.

Yes you can send it to anyone. It will only work once though. No reason the membership was likely brought in was so the club could decide how big a ground we need and what is the actual demand for tickets. We currently have 30-35K ST holders and approx 72K members. The reason E-Ticketing was brought in was to reduce carbon footprint and reduce postage and admin costs short term. Longer term the tickets may become less transferable but can’t see that being for a few years.

Sell it to someone on here. There will be plenty of takers. @Stiflerwas looking I know last week.

Not sure if it would be rotation. Lascelles looked like he was playing with an injury on Sunday but struggled on for the team.

People aren’t. At least I am not. It’s obviously a bigger issue than ST holders who’ve went for years with loyalty points built up which seems the alternative view. The two things that have changed dramatically this season is the corporate/player/staff allocation and the actual results themselves. I went to more aways last season and wasn’t particularly impressed with the support. No difference to the couple I’ve done this season albeit we’ve won the two domestic ones. Whoever is going just needs to support the team or be encouraged to rather than being picked on.

There was over a hundred returned by Milan this morning but probably gone now. Keep checking as day before and morning of game still have tickets from sponsors etc appearing the odd time.

The risk selling them to members and general sale unfortunately is the touting will start and get bigger. The one thing that can’t be argued is at least the current system no one is getting ripped off.

Too simplistic an argument. Also my question to this is why these lads in several years have neither a ST or 5+points of their own? Don’t even sound the type that would ever sacrifice their ST/Points due to boycotts etc. Sounds like they’ve had a great run but the rules about not transferring tickets that has always stood for decades has been slightly more enforced. You both (Wandy) need to aim your anger at corporate/staff allocations if anything at all. Not ST holders with loyalty points.

He didn’t bring it up or even moan about it. The interviewer dug for an answer and even thanked Wilson for answering the question honestly. Wilson made it clear ultimately it was nothing and they (both) move on from it. Talk about Chinese Whispers with this debate ?

Society is changing. Gigs have changed for the worse over the last few years it’s getting to a point that I’m making next year probably my last. Anyone who know how much I love my music and seeing bands live will know how sad that is.

Trippier being suspended for Fulham might give a clearer indication of where he currently is in the pecking order.

My only two domestic away games this season so far. Both were fine but obviously the greater numbers and dare I say surprise of the performance from a 2nd string team over our long standing nemesis probably added to the atmosphere. Ive got Chelsea and Luton remaining this season. Expecting a great atmosphere at Chelsea providing we don’t have a car crash start to the game. Luton I’m intrigued to find out. Not the biggest overall allocation but at least half going have over 160 points. Absolutely awful date for the game mind day after Black Friday and not the cheapest to get to with everyone vacating London etc that weekend for the holidays.

Yep. Especially when not much has changed in reality. Apart from the performances and results…

Keep the faith… we’ve probably had the best two chances. Need to just get the next goal and the mood will change. Wether we can mind is going to take a complete reset of attitude.

Nope. Ritchie came on 90+7 against Man Utd and 90+1 against Everton at 2-0 down. He literally got 9mins and probably a couple of kicks of the ball maximum. It’s EH’s way of showing gratitude to MR for how hard he’s trained that week so he’ll get an appearance bonus. Just like when he defended Lascelles in the summer press conference these little things have a habit of repaying you. Hall’s time will come. Patience.

I’ve just laid out the reasons for this in my post so not sure why anyone would think it was odd. Wouldn’t even be a discussion if we’d got a point at Everton.

Lot of tosh been talked about this ? He played at Bournemouth. Since then we’ve played Chelsea which he was unavailable for and Tino played and got MOTM. Then PSG and again Tino MOTM in a game that was so finely balanced no subs were made to avoid disruption of rhythm. Then we played Man Utd and again Tino arguably MOTM but scoreline again so tight we played it out without disrupting the back line. Then we’ve played Everton in a game we were in the slight ascendancy reaching the 80th minute before two goals changed the game but even then Isak scores on 90mins and we’ve 10mins to get an equaliser. I could accept he could’ve played the full 90mins against Bournemouth but he was getting a bit out muscled it felt hence the change made at HT ??‍♂️ His signing was a bonus this season and technically doesn’t join permanently until next season when the Fee starts leaving the accounts. Judge him and his game time next season.

The handball rules have got to be looked at this summer mind.

Yep. Would’ve made a very good squad player for us…

Great win for West Ham. Lot of team spirit shown.

Fair result. 3 a tad harsh. They were the fresher team and played well and to their strengths. Never fancied us pre match. Another familiar story away from home for us. Lost the knack of breaking up the game when needed. Probably due to the new rules which is fair enough as we still got 10 added tonight in a fairly flowing game. Other than that wouldn’t read too much into this performance or against Spurs. Need players back desperately. Especially for Sunday and Wednesday.

Refs had a great game apart from not giving us the ball after play was stopped.
