Off!

BOF, have you got a total attendance figure for 2007-08 (including all the cup games) so that we can compare it to the total figure for this season.

Apologies for answering for BOF, but it was 39,367. Bare in mind we only had 2 home cup games, Leicester in League Cup (25,956) and Man Utd in the FA Cup (33,630).

They aint even got Anichebe at the minute, he's injured! Cahill is playing up front on his own.

6ft 1-2

I thought the same at first BCV, but giving him the benefit of the doubt, he maybe suggesting (as we did a couple of weeks ago) that the Everton fans claim handball in every single challenge!

As others have said paulanddonya, you're speaking for yourself and you certainly don't represent me and 'the rest of our fans'.

I work at Fort Dunlop. Alex McLeish was here today to do an interview with the Post (who have just moved into the top floor). Unfortunately, I couldn't find him on my lunch break to give him some stick!

Part of the deal with the official travel is to ensure that people who take that package have a ticket...that would only make sense.

Would it not be fairest that those who want to book official travel can only do so when they are entitled to a ticket under the priorities that are placed on everybody who goes independently? Otherwise, as we have seen those going with official travel jump to the top of the queue.

General,

I know others have brought the issue up already, but I felt the need to do so again having read a post on another thread.

It seems as though those going with the official travel are guaranteed a ticket, regardless of their previous booking history.

Someone has said they know of a Blues fan who is going on the official trip with his Villa mates for a piss up. Whether this is true or not, it just highlights the problem.

I personally already have my tickets for Prague, but the situation is grossly unfair on those fans with decent booking history that may end up ticket less. Surely the club can see this?

Why aren't the same priorities in place for those wanting to go with the official travel (please tell us if this is not the case)?

I'm sure when Petrov first joined we sang his name to the same tune we did to Nobby Solano.

That'll do.

Nope. Man City on are ITV4 and Spurs, Everton and Pompey are on Five. Setanta are showing women's football!

Hi General,

Something really minor and I don't know why I care so much, but hey ho.

On our official site Salifou is down as a striker and as a result, he is so on most of the other big websites who obviously just take it off the official sites.

Salifou is a midfielder!

I think most people would class Young as a midfielder, rather than a striker too!

Cheers.

Hi General,

Apologies if you've already given a definitive answer on this one. I seem to recall you saying someone at the club was looking into the possibility of Villa putting together a package for fans to get to and from Denmark / Finland for the Intertoto away leg.

Did anything come of this, or should those of us who'd like to travel make our own plans?

Cheers.

I've just been on the Wacken Open Air website and found possibly the best band name of all time - 'Excrementory Grindfuckers'. Awesome.

I went to Download last weekend and it was class. It was my 2nd time there (first was previous year) and I enjoyed it as much as the first.

I'm also planning on going to Reading but I don't have tickets at the moment, which might prove a stumbling block.

They are the only festivals I've done and the only ones I can see me doing this year.

posts deleted. This thread is NOT a to and fro' for posters to debate with each other. Please - stuff for the General only. Thanks. Blandy

I want Bristol City to win. Not been to Ashton Gate before.

I wouldn't boo. But I don't know if I could bring myself to applaud him either. So I'm going for stay silent.

A lot of the articles in the programme appear on the website a couple of days after a game.

First goal. What a strike.

That boy Ashley, will make you lokk shite...

We can rip off another man u song surely?

Heard a guy walking back to his car in the car park after Blackburn away singing to the tune of the Ronaldo song:

He plays on the left

He plays on the riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Ashley Young makes Ronaldo look shite.

I like it (even though it's not strictly true! ).

8. 31 May is a good date.

TV could that be any clearer?

No it couldn't. That's my birthday
