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.

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”.

fergie is a baby

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..

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
