Got tickets for 'pool at the Lane in November too....!!!!

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.

Arsenal won! Man City played well but lost! Congrats to Liverpool!

Seriously though... What the hell is happening to Newcastle? They lost again! Go Hull!

OMG! Stoke almost did it again but this time lost to Everton 2-3 at home!

Spurs 1-2 Villa :D :D :D :D I like it.. I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally like it.. Spurs number 20.. below Hull and Stoke.. WOW!! and

everyone was saying this is their year.. Ramos out next? lets wait and see till christmas..

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..

    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
