I used to prefer aways, but these days even as a pass holder, I can never get a ticket due to the ‘closed shop’ previous purchase history rules that mean away tickets never get to general sale. People just keep their purchase history going, even if they can’t get to the game, choosing instead to sell the tickets to mates etc. It rewards loyalty which is fine, but to the detriment of about 28,000 other pass holders.

Yeah I know what you mean about keeping history going. Since I gave up my ST, other people have generally picked up tickets for me or I've purchased them on match day, but I made a point for the first home game of getting the tickets myself in advance, so that it keeps my history for any cup games going. Because generally rule of thumb is ST's then History. Problem is with purchasing tickets on match day, they don't allocate them to your account. Problem is our ground only holds around 10.5k....so if you get a good cup game, 3k (max) of those tickets will go to away support. That leaves 7.5k, but we have probably 3k ST Holders this season due to the reduced pricing, most of the decent seats in the Rainham End centre blocks have already been taken by them. That then only leaves 4.5k tickets available but that could be anywhere in the house. To get a decent place in the RE, you have to be pretty much on the ball and know the block layouts and the higher the better.

I always preferred the away games because the vocal support is far better, but it gets too much the older you get <laugh>

Southampton holding the line but no marking, just let Burnley run through them.
 
Fooking Jose Mourinho has been laying in the sun too long he looks like a pork scratching.
 
Don't think Newcastle will be as bad as some think under Bruce. Fancy them to cause that Arsenal defence issues.

**** knows which game to watch first.. I was going watch Arsenal but Luiz is on the bench so it might not be that amusing.

Tempted to watch Wolves vs Lesta.

What game you lot watching?
 
Gonna miss the game this afternoon as I have to take my daughter to a kids party.

Took her on a 5 mile walk this morning hoping to wear her out so that she'd just want to chill and watch cartoons, but she's still up for it ....

He is that good to be the difference though mate, he makes us tick and he's been our best player for probably 4 of the 6 years he's been with us. We picked up £100m last season from the CL run so my thinking is that if we can reach knockouts/ beyond again, that can grab us another £65m-£70m as well as increasing our chances of another CL spot at the end of the season. If he leaves in the next two weeks, the chances of both a great CL run and a CL spot finish in the Prem massively decrease.

That's just pure cl money too.

The sponsorship, global recognition etc isn't in the calculated champs league money.

Lastly you had a few good chances and opportunities before eriksen came on but looked very pedestrian.

There was kanes free header at end of the first half, mouras header at the beginning, walkers pieters whilst looking fairly solid had loads of space but never really took advantage and who can forget sissoko was in some very good positions including the one who blasted out for a throw in lol.

Under strength line up for us this afternoon. But good to see Emery putting faith in Willock and Nelson. Going to be a tough game without so many first choice players, but this will show us how good our squad depth is.

**** me that defence.
 
Don't really care who wins out of Newcastle v Arsenal but wouldn't mind seeing Bruce get off to a good start, then watching the Arsenal fans have a melt-down <whistle>
