None - gave my season ticket up last year because of working Saturday's so no more loyalty points
Within 6 months of that I got a new job 9-5 Monday-Friday ffs.

Going to Wigan next Wednesday though.


Wigan's a decent away game to go to, you'll have the full stand I imagine and you should win.

I'm going to Preston tomorrow, kick off 5.30 if anybody fancies watching that instead of Leicester v City.....

Mental end to the City-Chelsea game.

Leicester all over the place, they'll pick up at some point but I'm surprised they're struggling this much. Good to see Burnley's embarrassing away form continue.

West Ham look an absolute shambles too, only 1 point above the drop, second worst defensive record in the league.

You were miles better than us today, first half especially, should have been about 4-0 for you at HT rather than 1-1. I'll have to see the penalty again, hard to tell exactly from where I was.

We were lucky to get a point. I know you've been on a bad run of form but you're a decent team - well organised, full of energy etc, with a couple of players who really stood out (one was on the left wing, another in the middle).

Nope. Distinctly under the weather so I've let a mate have my ticket. Take it you are?


Ah I see, yeah I'll be there. Got a bit of confidence after winning the last 2, but we very rarely string 3 wins together so wouldn't be surprised if we came back down to earth.

Can't tell me after that game that:

A) We're not naive;

B) We didn't deserve at least a point;

C) Referees don't actively hate us.

Reading have had NINE penalties in the league this season. NINE. After last night, I'm convinced a decision was made at ref HQ which determined we, under no circumstances, are allowed any decisions. Those two in the second half are actually beyond belief and comprehension. First one is absolutely unbelievable - their lad just takes out Wells as he bursts through. The second is even worse - he just ploughs through our lad then gets up and kicks him again for good measure. We had a great shout in the first half when Scannell got taken out by Warnock, too, and every fucking corner saw theirs wrestling ours to the floor. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE FUCKING RULING AT THE START OF THE FUCKING SEASON THAT WAS MEANT TO PUT A STOP TO IT? Wholeheartedly accept that on Wigan's sole corner, ours was doing it to theirs, and that should also have been given.

Not saying we were stellar - too slow in possession, too naive at the back to really deserve to win - but at the same time, it's hardly a level playing field when the opposition is allowed to do that without any kind of fall-out time after time.

It really is every week and it goes beyond a joke.


Are you going today mate?

It does seem as though he likes to have a different opinion to the majority. e.g. backing Pardew, hating Benitez.

Selz is an easy scapegoat. He was bad, but Newcastle as a side looked fundamentally not good enough,

Besides I'm sure we'll see loads of criticism of Selz, but none of the cunt who played him. (He made Newcastle a football club again. He made us hope again)


How come you hate Benitez so much, Shola?

Must admit though resting players against us to focus on last night didn't really work out

What's the general United fans view on Mourinho, Sam/Ninja? Prepared to give him time or concerned it's just not going to work out?

My grandad passed away last night. It's news I had been expecting for a while now but it's still horrible when it actually happens. The strange thing was that because I don't drive I had to get two buses and a train from my house in Leicestershire over to his hospital in Birmingham, each one was waiting at the stop for me and left as soon as I was on board and he passed literally a minute or two after I got there surrounded by the whole family.

We still don't know for sure what was cause of death, he was initially been treated for an ear infection but lost over four stone in two months so we suspect he might have had some form of diagnosed cancer as few other things can cause that big of a weight loss so quickly.


Sorry to hear mate.

Inter are always in absolute turmoil, you're right SS the problems go much deeper than the manager.

I know he didn't have a good start, but they should have given De Boer more time.

Barca completely fell apart in the end, some terrible defending, 3-1 City.

City would have been in a bit of trouble had they lost or even drawn and Borussia won tonight, but they'll qualify no problem now.

Swansea struggling. I know there's a long way to go yet but the bottom 3 could quite easily end up as it is now.

Pne fans are all very deluded, nothing shocking there.


I can confirm that they are an odd bunch.

Made me laugh those comments before today how United, despite being in poor form, were still only 6 points off the top. It's only October, obviously they're not gonna be that far behind yet! 8 now....was hoping they'd win today though v Burnley.

Tomorrow is the big day everyone in this town has been waiting for. The big one. Notlob come to Bury for a Monday night clash for the first league match between our two sides in 17 years. I wasn't into football at that time so my first proper derby, so really, really looking forward to this.

Since this is a monday night game on Sky and all ticket bs, Gigg Lane sadly won't be sold out but still, Bury will be vibrating tomorrow!


2-0 to Bolton I see, two pennies. You'd have got into the play offs with a win, but still only three points off.

Leicester well on their way to the knockout stages, great achievement so fair play to them, although they needed a great save from Schmeichel to preserve their lead (Slimani's goal should have stood though I guess).

Unreal saves too from Lloris and Buffon tonight, unbelievable reactions.

Saturday's game was one of the worst games I've ever had the misfortune to attend. Can only think of the FA Cup quarter final replay v Millwall in 2013 that was worse.

That was dull. Couple of good saves from De Gea, Zlatan's header, about it really.

A terrible camera angle as the icing on the cake!

HT and nothing at all has happened, apart from Dier's backpass gifting Slovenia a chance.

How is Lingard playing over Rashford? Get him and Vardy on, it'd inject a bit of life into the game at least.

That's a stinker for Scotland, pretty much kills any remote chance they had of qualifying IMO. Need to be taking max points from the weakest 2 teams in the group.

Seems harsh on Guidolin, did really well last season and then they've had a rotten fixture list so far this season yet aren't even the relegation zone, only the defeat to Hull could be classed as a really poor result so far this term.

The plan must have been to get Bradley in all along.....

Owen Coyle is very, very poor at his job and, while he's not our biggest problem (far from it), he is a problem. Going down unless something major changes, simple as that.

Crazy what's happened with Big Sam. Don't know what he was thinking getting involved. He'd finally got his dream job, so unnecessary.

FA will be dying for Southgate to win his games in charge so they can give it to him permanently...

I think Sunderland will stay up as well actually, long way to go yet and Moyes should get them going eventually.

Annoyingly decent win for Burnley tonight though.

but to lose at home to Blackburn after scoring first with a squad that cost millions to assemble is one hell of an achievement.

We used to always beat Leeds away, then along comes Owen Coyle and we've lost there twice in a week....one of many records that will be set this season I imagine.
