I reckon going off the successful ballot numbers for previous rounds, it’s a fair bit less than that.

I take that to mean that you won’t automatically get, and be charged for, a final ticket, in the way you did for previous (home) rounds.

They won’t?

Aye, I think the cup scheme will account for the first 20-25k of the allocation. It’s what they decide for the remaining bit that will be interesting/contested.

Happy meltdown due to the ticket criteria day everyone!

Hopefully Botman in for Burn

Looks like most are listing now. 20’s looks about the best you can get.

Rodri won’t be back before the final at the earliest. And that would be pushing it.

Think it’s only right that Uncle Arne selects the same team in their next domestic cup match in order to give those players a chance to redeem themselves.

I’d have no real issue with drawing Forest like, even away. We seem to match-up far better against them than Bournemouth, Brighton and even Fulham.

I think it’s because it’s about the only free week they’ve both got due to CL, whereas us and Palace will a few spare weeks after the final.

Think it was actually 46 seconds he was on.

Aye it’s on ITV as well. Not sure who they’ll have on comms like? McCoist would be most people’s choice I guess.

I know what you mean, but I’m not sure you can do anything but play your absolute strongest team when you’re playing Real Madrid in a knockout CL game.

That is unquestionably a ‘sleep for 7 hours’ if you can trip.

Don Scurr says ‘minor thigh injury’.

Would be nice extremely confident if this was at home. They’ve looked massively brittle away. They have looked a fair bit better at home mind. Nowhere near what they were, but still pretty good. Could do with a really draining game against Madrid during the week, with some form of controversy that gets a lot of attention.

Those type of contracts just don’t exist at the top level. You might be be able to get a little bit of wage differential based on fitness, but I’m not sure Wilson, or any other PL-level player would sign that, given they’d nearly always have other options.

Preston away

He could have done, but given Wilson’s goal I would assume nothing…

Double post?

Basically Darwin Nunez but about £70m cheaper.

Nice finish from a controversial quick free kick.

But would that have to include the teams winning the CL and EL being outside the PL top 5? i.e if Liverpool were to win the PL and CL, I don’t think 6th gets a CL place does it?
