Made me smile how the club were tweeting to people who could not get through on the phones this morning to buy tickets online - this was at 10am long after all online tickets has been snapped up (they went in about 30 seconds). They don't help themselves sometimes.

The club cocked up Grendel. They should always do what they can to maximise the number of our supporters at a game like this, so they should have put tickets on general sale a lot sooner to properly gauge demand. They didn't though, and at the point they were forced to make the decision I...

I guess there must be a huge queue at the ticket office so they only made a few available online. When I looked about an hour ago there were about 600 unsold tickets.

Yet more conspiracies The bottom line is they made a mistake. They had to make a judgement call, but by spreading out the sales categories as they did they did not give themselves enough time to make the correct call. I understand the decision to an extent. We didn't quite sell the full...

Yup. But surely, if we can sort this shit-fest out, it won't be too long before we do? How typical would it be though, that we do it for the first time in 40 years this season, only to miss out because of the points deduction? Bound to happen. One day Rodney, one day.

...in a parallel universe, a much more fortunate version of myself is leaving the house to make the short walk to the Cherry Tree to sink a few, before going on to watch a promising young city side romp to 3 points. I look out the window today and think what a perfect day it is for football...

Well quite, but that's because we were run by idiots at that point (in a footballing sense I mean). That doesn't mean to say they would prefer that we are not promoted. There would be no obligation to pay contracted players more than what they are currently on (aside from a promotion bonus...

I guess they won't, but there's nothing wrong with a dose of optimism now and again is there? Surely one day we'll have out moment in the sun? If you don't believe that then what's the point?

There are some weird conspiracies doing the rounds, but the one that says SISU would deliberately scupper our promotion chances to avoid paying higher wages in the Championship is the most crazy of them all. Trust me, if we achieved promotion in this of all seasons, you wouldn't be able to get...

If it is CAT C no way the average price will be that, even if no children watched the game: http://www.arsenal.com/tickets/member-ticket-prices

To get that you'd be looking at a full house paying an average of £37 per ticket. Think it will be more like 400-500K.

You have just made that up I think. Tickets start at £25 for category C games and £35 for category B. Your figures assumes the average is £58 a ticket, so I guess no children or OAPs ever attend games at the Emirates (if they did ticket prices start at £10). You have to remember that the...

It will be 15-20 quid. It was £12 in the league cup last season and didn't we pay £15 at Spurs?

It has more to do with tiredness I think. We don't like it when teams get in our faces and press us in our own half, and teams tend to do this early in the game, but as the game goes on we get a bit more room to play and it suits us.

I think you might have just made that up? The number of police was entirely consistent with the size of the following and it seemed a pretty hands off police presence for the most part. Closing the bar might well be club policy. I don't think the followings at place like MK, Vale, Wolves...

No, we have sold a couple of hundred. The block looks sold out only because they open up the seats for sale in stages going from front to back.

Forecast is for no rain of note up there past 10am this morning, so shouldn't be an issue.

Was right in line and he was clipped. No complaints from their manager and the player walked with no objections. Not sure why we would stir up controversy when clearly there isn't any (not over the foul in any case).

Here in Rotherham. Bit of light drizzle. Stop fretting.

I disagree to an extent but I understand your logic and reasoning so fair enough. I could argue that they did try to buy the Higgs share 18 months ago, but that has been done to death and I know people have differing opinions as to what really went on there. Meanwhile this shit-fest continues...
