Amaury Bischoff, SQ Park and now Postman YaYa. Top of the WTF transfers of the century.

Viviano, Billy Joel Campbell, Mikael Silvestre, Squillachi all also spring to mind. What a stunning piece of business that last one was - £5m transfer fee, 50k per week wages and what did we get?

How many more years before Billy gets his work permit ?

Finding out alien head Sylvestre had signed was one of the darkest days of my life.

I can't realistically see us winning this one if Podolski plays as bad as he did yesterday.

a shame that half of the team is now injured as there should be a good atmosphere for this (given the kick off time) similar to what we saw against Liverpool.

2-2

Shame we have so many injuries for our biggest game of the season yet in the only competition we might possibly have a chance of winning

Really! Can't see that happening much before deadline day myself......although I do think it will happen this time.
No idea.

But with Podolski just not looking like a lone striker (and why should he?) could we even take to the field in a 4-6-0?

Current state of affairs on the ticket exchange. Has it ever been easier to get NLD tickets?!

Was well pissed off when the tickets went to TX and their was loads of lower tier tickets left. Just spunked an extra tenner away to sit in a worse area of the ground :banghead: .

Always wait for tx :wink: Means you normally take a chance with only getting a ticket last minute but 99% of the time you can get a cheaper ticket in a livelier part of the ground.

I will do now mate. Thanks to me not taking TX into account, I am now sitting way up in the heavens in the North Bank. I know there are worse areas of the ground, but you cant beat being in the lower tier (for me at least 8) )

EDIT: Just out of interest, who is going to this one? I'm a little curious as to why there are so many spare tickets :rubchin: .

The Scum know their season (as prem title contenders or even top 5 is OVERRRRRR!) That along with their win over the manc scum will have them well up for this, I just hope Inspector Clueless doesn't play a carling cup/reserve team....It could still be our best chance of silver ware!

WE HATE TOTTNUM THEY IS FUCKING SCUM :barscarf: :box:

Yep, I got one today and was absolutely gobsmacked at the amount of yellow. Not only that but one of the blocks I clicked on had at least 20 seats free. Got one in the redaction section in the end :lol: :barscarf:
