The big talking point is the 17,000 tickets that go to 'friends of the footballing families', essentially neutrals of every Premier League club that aren't either supporters of each club, an utter disgrace in my opinion. The FA will never learn Anyways hopefully there is still tickets left on 12th or 13th May, depending if I both to the Everton and West Ham games or both. Any game before the criteria date will come towards the date.

Alan Hutton will definitely miss the match, this would be my line-up, presuming everyone else in the squad is available. Given, Bacuna, Vlaar, Okore, Clark, Westwood, Cleverley, Delph, Sinclair, Gil and Benteke. Will be a very tight game, Liverpool's danger man is a player we were heavily linked with back in 2012, Mr Philippe Coutinho, hopefully Ron 'Greenhouse' Vlaar has him in his back-pocket like he did with Harry Kane last Saturday.

Had it confirmed by a mate who works for Virgin that no alcohol will be permitted on Sunday's services from Birmingham Moor Street, roll on the bottle of coke that smells funny

Attended both the League Cup final and FA Cup semi-final in 2010 under MON and visited the Green Man on both occasions, if I had to recommend one place it would be here. You won't be paying £5 for a pint either Additionally after reading both pages of the threads missed the fact they have a massive beer garden and BBQ.

Have even tweeted National Rail asking what the **** is going on, well not in those terms lol, but essentially asking the same question.

Worth noting anyone getting the train from Snow Hill on Sunday, all trains are being diverted to Moor Street. No trains leaving Snow Hill prior to 13:00. Despite the website and National Rail stating that trains will still leave from Birmingham Snow Hill http://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/mobile/news/fa-cup-semi-finals-18-and-19-april

You won't notice the defeat because of Gerrard actually achieving BBC godhood by diving in the box. Again. As the game is live on BT Sport it will be the Gerrard wankfest on there instead, with Michael Owen giving the head start. Ah bummer, I forgot about Owen, Hamann, James, Mcmanaman, Mcallister and Gobby Cabbage to top it off! Glad to be going to the game now and spending £6 a pint in and around Wembley

Got my ticket in Block 538 earlier today, only £33. Bargain for a game at Wembley to watch a defeat Booking history (West Brom x 2, Newcastle - away, Orient and Swansea).

Why Given? Given the injures, I like your team otherwise. Think Guzan has looked out of sorts in the last few games, few of the goals could/should have been avoided.

Given, Lowton, Vlaar, Okore, Clark, Sanchez, Bacuna, Delph, Gil, Agbonlahor and Benteke, 4-3-1-2.

According to the ticket office, they were only considered recently, as until the other day I wasn't eligible for a ticket to Wembley.

Was this not alway the case? Away games weren't being considered towards the initial criteria, but when I rang up on Thursday evening, it was confirmed to me this is now the case, guess a few thousand fans were making a fuss about it.

Just thought I would give people an update (as I'm rather bored watching MOTD), away games are now included in the ticket criteria and additionally the Orient League Cup game counts, in case anyone had any doubts in relation to either of those Meaning I will be eligible on 9th.
