    Trains

    in PL: Norwich a

    Posted

    Been looking at trains and prices for this game, the only possible route I can see from Birmingham to Norwich on the actual day of the game to get you there in time is ridiculous.

    Leaves Birmingham at 8.30, to London Euston, followed by a tube to Kings Cross, then a train to Cambridge, then a train to Norwich arriving at 2.15 so not enough time for a pub session pre match. This is pushing £90 too :/

    Is there another way?

    Next two games, Fulham & Bolton, draw and a win, which will see us pretty much safe, 3 of those 5 teams below us won't catch us then.

    The 5 games against the big sides (Arsenal, Liverpool, United, Chelsea, Spurs) not confident at all given the way we've rolled over against good sides all season (with the exception of Chelsea away), I can see one draw from 5 games, maybe even a surprise win, with 4 defeats.

    Stoke and Sunderland at home, 2 draws.

    Draw at baggies, defeat at Norwich.

    I think we'll finish with around 38-40 points, with none of the 5 teams below us catching up, leaving us around 14th-15th

    Hi General,

    just reiterating the point made above me really about ticketing for birmingham.

    I'm not a season ticket holder as Im a student and couldnt afford a lump sum to buy one, yet Ive been to every home game this season other than Blackburn in the cup, and only missed 2 away games, 1 of which was in Austria.

    I'm a loyal away follower of my club, I travelled 6 hours to Newcastle and 6 hours back to see us get thumped 6-0, and £70 for ticket+travel to Chelsea last season to see us concede 7.

    The fact that I am behind someone who spent £10 on a Burnley ticket as his only game of the season is absolutely appauling and despite my loyalty it looks like I will not get a ticket.

    The club has seriously messed up here and some common sense needs to be applied!

    This is shit this is. Ive only missed 3 games out of 14 this season, (vienna away, blackburn LC and sunderland away) but because im not a ST holder Im behind some mug who went to burnley as his only game of the season.

    Im a **** loyal away fan and this is a joke, absolute joke, no way will i have a prayer of getting a ticket

    WAHEY! It's a JOKE thread : Enter at your own risk.

    Things that make men proud

    Things that make blokes proud of themselves :

    1. OPENING JARS - She's struggling. You take it from her hands, open it effortlessly and pretend she loosened it for you. She didn't. Jars are men's work.

    2. CALLING SOMEONE 'SON' - Especially policeman but even saying it to kids makes you the man.

    3. DOING A PROPER SLIDE TACKLE - Beckham free kicks - camp. A Stuart Pearce tackle is the pinnacle of the game, simultaneously winning the ball and crippling the man. Magic.

    4. SHARPENING A PENCIL WITH A STANLEY KNIFE - Blunt, is it? Hand it here love. No, I don't need a sharpener, I've got a knife thanks!

    5. GOING TO THE TIP - A manly act which combines driving, lifting and - as you thrillingly drop your rubbish into another huge pile of other rubbish - noisy destruction.

    6. DRINKING UP - Specifically, rising from the table, slinging your coat on and downing two thirds of a pint in one fluid movement. Then nodding towards the door, saying, "Let's go" and striding out while everyone else struggles to catch up with you. You're hard.

    7. HAVING A THIN BIT OF WOOD - in the shed, solely to stir paint with.

    8. HAVING A SCAR - Ideally it'll be a facial knife wound, but even an iron burn on the wrist is good. "Ooh, did it hurt". "Nah".

    9. HAVING A HANGOVER AND THICK STUBBLE - When birds have been partying they just whinge. You on the other hand have physical evidence of your hardness,sprouting from your face. "Big night?" Grr, what does it look like.

    10. NODDING AT COPPERS - A moment's eye contact is all it takes for you to share the unspoken bond. "We've not seen eye to eye in the past",it says, "but someone's got to keep the little scrotes in line".

    11. USING POWER TOOLS - Slightly more powerful than you need or can safely handle. Pneumatic drilling while smoking a fag? Superb.

    12. KICKING A FOOTY AGAINST A GARAGE DOOR - Clang-g-g-g-g-g-! Stick that Becks, I kick so hard I set off car alarms.

    13. ARRIVING IN A PUB LATE - And everyone cheers you. It doesn't mean you're popular, it just means your mates are ******. However, the rest of the pub doesn't know that.

    14. NOT WATCHING YOUR WEIGHT - Fat is a feminist issue,apparently. Brilliant. Pass the pork scratchings.

    15. CARVING THE ROAST - And saying "are you a leg or breast man?" to the blokes and "do you want stuffing?" to the women. Congratulations, you are now your dad.

    16. WINKING - Turns women to putty. Doesn't it?

    17. TEST SWINGING HAMMERS - Ideally, B&Q would have little changing rooms with mirrors so you could see how rugged you look with any DIY item. Until then, we'll make do with the aisles.

    18. TAKING OUT £200 FROM A CASHPOINT - Okay, so its for paying the Plumber later but with that much cash you feel like a mafia don. The only thing better is peeling notes off the roll later.

    19. PHONE CALLS THAT LAST LESS THAN A MINUTE - Unlike birds, we get straight to the point. "Alright? Yep. Drink? Red lion? George, it is then. Seven. See ya."

    20. PARALLEL PARKING - Bosh, straight in. First time. Can Schumacher do that? No, because his cars got no reverse gear which, technically, makes you the worlds best driver.

    21. HAVING EARNED THAT PINT - Since the dawn of time, men have toiled in the fields in blistering heat. Why? So, when it's over we can stand there in silence, surveying our work with one hand resting on the beer gut while the other nurses a foaming jug of ale.Aaaah.

    22. HAVING SOMETHING PROPERLY WRONG WITH YOU - Especially if you didn't make a fuss. "Why was I off, nothing much, just a brain haemorrhage".

    23. KNOWING WHICH SCREWDRIVER IS WHICH - "A Phillips? For that? Are you mad, bint?"
