Liked the format of Soccer Aid when it was first introduced but it has now become a bandwagon for every two bit wannabbee celebrity who would sell their grandmother to a pimp if it got them another two minutes on the telly.
Expecting that self promoting twat Simon Cowell to run on any minute now with his latest new face lift, sun glasses, and accountant.

Its been unbearable in london this weekend. They have to be the most unlikeable fans around, especially right now.
Sat outside King's Cross today waiting for our train and watching them all prancing about waiting for their parade.

I did however manage to flirt with one of the coca cola girls and convince her she should let me have one of the special gold cans with 'winners' and the arsenal badge on it without her having opened it to take home to my daughter.
Thats going on Ebay first thing in morning!!!!

They'll try in vain, I've had several people ask me when memberships are on sale again. As we had circa 16k members last season, when they are on sale again I expect us to sell out. :emoticon-0138-think


It's our time.

Id be interested if current members get a period to add to their memberships before they go on general sale.

I wonder how many they will sell? I don't know if there are rules but you have to leave a few thousand for others wanting to attend the odd game.

Somebody mentioned that to me last week(leaving tickets for day trippers),is that true?

If so,by the time you allow for away support and on the day match tickets,there's probably in the region of 3-4 thousand season tickets up for grabs which I'd imagine will go very quickly and would be more expensive than what's currently being paid by existing members(which is fair enough to be honest).

Why would they more expensive ? The prices are set aren't they ?

We'll be paying £50 a month next season

My understanding(from my cousin who's already a member) is that his price is locked in and would've been regardless of promotion or not(I think he's currently paying £30 a month,or thereabouts, for the South Stand?

If that is infact the case,then I wouldn't expect someone walking up off the Street who's now decided to join, getting to see Premier League football for £30 a month?

The minimum donation was £2. The £40 was the maximum donation you could make by text. They raised £16.5m and the money went to UNICEF.

I am not sure if its true but I can imagine that leaving some for day trippers would be good practice, if not a rule.

I actually quite like it, and it's usually better quality than the females' FA Cup final

putting this here today instead of on the fnmt thread, which is about songs that are about music.

there are some phrases that bring out my not-so-latent inner psychopath. one is "thought experiment". another is "singer-songwriter". this rant is about the latter.

a couple of things. i hate it when the lyrics of a song go on and on and on with a deluge of "song" related words, all sing-singy-song-song. it's not clever and it's certainly not interesting.

but "singer-songwriter" is usually applied to possibly the dullest ever selection of alleged artists in the entire history of music, people whose earnestness and claimed worthiness and moral grandstanding makes me consider a future as a serial killer. but possibly the biggest crime they commit is in their abysmal and painful attempts to inject humour into their interminable dirges.

terry wogan's favourite song was by someone called clifford t ward. it's like having a dentist drill your teeth for what feels like hours and hours. james taylor is another perpetrator. and the very idea that some dullard noodling away on an acoustic guitar can produce something "beautiful"... no, no, no, no.

Terry Wogan was a genius and that's the end of it
