How come Spurs sell there tickets so far in advance? For Liverpool games, you can phone up for tickets or apply via for a postal 18 days before the game.

I've got tickets for Liverpool v Stoke on the 20th September, I'm taking my sister to her first every Liverpool game on her birthday, aren't I a nice brother :D?

Dunno, is it the same for home games? It also depends what 'band' of membership you are on at Spurs - for the higher band tickets go on sale earlier, there are like 5 bands as well - Lilywhite, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum - mostly going on sale at different times, and only after that does it go on general sale.

I'm sure your sis will love it, lets hope for her that Keano's drought doesn't continue :whistle: :D

Yeah they used to have a bank as a sponsor.

Hammers VS West Brom will both be without sponsors this weekend - very unusual for a prem match!

or maybe the fact that the second half liverpool dominated...

Well over the course of the game, we were better only over the first 10-20 minutes and after, with the Pool nicking a goal, it was only go one way. It just seemed to me that United weren't trying hard enough. (or perhaps tired, although it no excuse to perform in that manner).

Neverless, the goal really played a huge part in the mentality for the rest of the game, we were on top before the goal and Liverpool were finding it very difficult to break us down. But after the goal, it was full steam ahead for Liverpool and well we just looked deflated. Even people like Tevez who is constantly pushing just didn't have the gas enough and it was inevitable for Liverpool to get that goal. Well done to them though, I can't argue that the Pool fully deserved it. *grits teeth* :laugh:

Well hopefully United can pull it back together for the CL game midweek, and seen as its not gonna get any easier going to the Bridge next weekend, we really need to pick it up. But you heard it here first, United to win! And break that unbelievable record of 4 years not losing for Chelsea at home.

No let-up in Newcastle fans' actions against Mike Ashley

Mike Ashley is believed to have been in Abu Dhabi last night in an attempt to push through a quick sale of Newcastle United, but the club's embattled owner has been informed by supporters that protests against his regime will continue. After a dismal summer that has left Newcastle with no manager, no long-term benefactor and an ill-equipped squad, fans are establishing their own representative body.

Concerns that Ashley would not deliver on his promise to cut his ties with Tyneside have lifted after the billionaire sportswear retailer departed for the Middle East to seek potential buyers. Dennis Wise, the executive director (football) and Tony Jimenez, the club's vice-president, were dispatched to Dubai for the same purpose, although Dubai International Capital, the private-equity investment arm of the Dubai Government which has been courting Liverpool, denied any interest in bailing out Ashley.

Fans have been mobilised by Kevin Keegan's resignation, the influence of Wise and Derek Llambias, the managing director, and the failure to strengthen the team significantly. They are preparing for an attritional campaign to oust Ashley, who has requested an end to the sort of demonstrations that accompanied Saturday's home defeat by Hull City. The Newcastle United Supporters Group will be formed at a public meeting near St James' Park this evening.

“The protests at the running of our club by Ashley, Wise and Llambias need to continue and collectively Newcastle United supporters require an organisation which has a mass membership, is inclusive and has a legitimacy to represent,” a joint statement from The Mag and true faith fanzines said. The mood is one of constructive militancy. In spite of Ashley's contention that his family “would be assaulted” if they attended Newcastle matches, police praised the fans “for the way in which they behaved”.

MANCHESTER, England - Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has risked sanction from the Football Association by accusing the head of Premier League referees of showing favouritism toward Chelsea.

Ferguson made the accusation against Keith Hackett after Chelsea captain John Terry's red card against Manchester City was rescinded, clearing him to face United in Sunday's high-profile Premier League game.

"My information is that Hackett told (referee) Mark Halsey to rescind the red card and he would not do it," Ferguson was quoted as saying in Wednesday's newspapers. "Now I understand that Halsey is being made to referee in the second division this weekend.

"I just don't undertand how this could have happened. If it had been a Manchester United player, Hackett would never have done this for us."

The Professional Game Match Officials Board, which Hackett heads, said Hackett was not involved in the decision.

"All matters of discipline are an issue for the FA - and them alone," the organization said in a statement.

Terry was sent off by Halsey for hauling down Man City striker Jo near the end of Chelsea's 3-1 victory on Saturday. Chelsea appealed, and an FA panel ruled in its favour Tuesday.

Instead of serving an automatic three-game suspension, Terry is now free to play against United.

I agree abt Sir Alex.. he is getting too old for this.. and maybe that is the reason he just doesn't care any more.. I think he will leave by the end of this season or the next..

But the way the JT red card and ban were overturned are surprising and a bit suspicious.. anyway I would not talk abt refrees taking sides if I was Man Utd manager.. coz everyday has seen season in and out how they get favours from the refs.. penalties that others dont get.. Red cards that other get etc etc..

      I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.

      The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. I'm sure you will come with the argument of bloat in Microsoft Edge. Sure, but most of that can be fixed with a simple tool (there are many good ones out there for this). Yes, that require a couple of clicks in the same way as it requires several clicks to install 'Google Chrome'. And I'm sure you really love the 4 GB of AI-slop data 'Google Chrome' is downloading for Chrome without you agreeing to it. Fun right? Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing 'Microsoft Edge' on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
