Does anyone know the situ with ticket refund? Ive got one more than I need for Leicester. Previously I emailed the club and they sorted fairly swiftly, but been a few days now and heard nadda.
I know there is the ticket exchange, but I thought that was just for season ticket holders who cant attend a specific game?
Thought a nice bit of Friday nostalgia might be sharing memories of previous first games in the top flight on the eve of our return.
I can only remember 2000, Spurs Away, I was 16. I remember getting the train, changing at Stratford (pre-Westfield/Olympics), it being unbearably hot and comically crowded on the way to White Hart Lane, really penned in the whole way. I had my Reuser 30 shirt on, and I was so proud to have finally got the Premier League arm logos added after 4 playoffs in a row.
I used to love White Hart Lane for football, its always those enclosed stadiums isn't it, like Loftus Road?
Mark Venus scored a typical Veno freekick on about 7mins, first team to score a goal in the Prem that season (before the days of Friday Nights and Saturday Lunchtimes). There were limbs in the away end long before anyone that uses the term "limbs" was even born . I remember ringing my Spurs buddy from school and holding up the phone to the away end noise and giving him much abuse.
Erm... can't remember how that worked out for me in the end, but it was a great day out and left me full of optimism for the following Tuesday's visit of Man Utd. Optimism slightly stolen now by how lopsided the top division has become in the 20 years since, but no less excitement to be back.
Whilst all you fine people were enjoying the best game of the season, I decided to do a 92 club weekender. Im currently breakfasting in advance of being incognito at Elland Road today, but yesterday was at Pride Park.
I know everyone has the same chants but this has got to be the worst Allez yet:
"They docked us 21 points, and we dont give a Duck (word replaced). Cos we are Derby County, and we are going up..."
Theyve got history, cant they put it in the song like we do?!?!
Plying his trade at Gillingham and sporting a vikingesque beard and shaved head combo. One of those footballers whose career passed him by through constant injuries, sad really.
First trip to Plough Lane yesterday, really cool ground. Felt clean and shiny, lots of smart innovations, and the in stadium pub was great. We sampled a Crazy Gang IPA, but about 8 local beers on offer. Couldnt then believe the couple behind me went for two pints of Stella. Philistines.
The mission remains the same - handle our business, and what will be will be.
If we play anywhere close to our best, we win the majority of our remaining games. If that happens, we get 90 odd points and its still not enough for top two, we tip our hats accordingly. Whoever finishes ahead will have deserved it.
Let's focus on what we can control, which is to make FPR rock today. Maybe even get a song from the Churchmans, this isnt lawn bowls you are watching
Don't think this is a great look for Leicester. Incident was Friday, so they must have been aware and played him Monday, simply as their shortage of midfielders was more important to them.
Four of us went to Stoke today. We couldnt get four in a row, best we could do was two blocks of two with a stranger in the middle. No matter we thought, I am sure they will move so we can sit together.
Get to the ground, and the one in the middle is... my cousin, who lives in Manchester! I knew he was going but not where he was sitting.
Honestly, what are the odds?!
Also, not won since the new sleeve sponsor. Is this our grey kit curse??
Gaggle of ten year olds behind me with their dads, in the aftermath of Mavididi's goal, one of the boys shouted "go back to your home you black c**t". Didnt report it as not sure who owned the pre-pubescent voice, but honestly couldn't believe it. So sad and ashamed to hear from our own fans.
If you are the owner of said child, please choose another team to support, thanks.
Firstly, given the massive financial advantages the promoted teams have over the rest, they should be embarrassed everytime they drop a point in this league. £100m in free money, double it by selling two players each, and keep the rest of your prem squad. Ridiculous.
But... what Id love is when McKenna inevitably trots out the same old "the goals are disappointing to concede", could he not just fix it? Be good to get some kind of proper answer as to what is being done to address the weekly turd soft goals.
Having watched the EFL highlights, and now two games today, I am struck with just how often scorers deliberately go over to the away fans to goad them/shush them etc. The West Ham guy has just done it twice in a row when his own fans are all around. Do you think this should be legislated against? Obviously, very rarely does it cause an incident, but it would be very easy for something to happen (Grealish in the Brum derby for example), and it's just asking for it really. Plus it is totally classless.
In american football they have a lot of rules about how you can and can't celebrate. From playing in Britain, it was anything choreographed or towards an opponent got you a flag and a 15yrd penalty. Should there be yellow cards for this in football?
