United's super-sub to call it a day

Actually, I will be sad to see him go, as no doubt the club will also

Anyone heard this or know where it is available to listen to as I missed it.

Thanks

No, but I heard it and it was very funny, substituted Roman for Roxanne.

yes it will be sad to see him go but I thnk his playing days are already over.. he may have got a few goals this season but they have mainly been tap ins and open goals.. if he ws at Watford do you think he would have got any ?

his pace, and that was slow to start with, is even worse and he can't really go in for a challenge any more

sure he is a legend for scoring that goal in the final but Charlton scored in the final too and he isn't still on the bench for us

Not the same final surely...

lol

as i said Ole is a legend and always been a fan of his wish he had started more for us TBH when he was in his pomp but that is all behind him now.

be honest, if he was at Watford or Sheffield United do you think he would have got any goals ?

it's better to go out at the top than go on a season or two too long

list of players I like ( just to show there are some ) : G Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Silvestre, Evra, Heinze, Scholes, Ronaldo, Rooney, Carrick, Smith, Brown

I see the FA has played a blinder again.

Linky

For the cup final, 25,000 tickets for both Man U and Chelsea, and the rest to go to every bugger else. Compare that with the scottish cup final, where allocation is between the two competing finalists only. Now why is that ?

Link for the scottish cup final details can be found here, prior to the semi finals.

The Scottish FA will agree ticket prices and allocations with the clubs at a meeting on Monday, and all sales will be conducted by the competing clubs only.

With the FA Cup, a large share has always been handed out to local FAs around the country. I don't know if that share has increased this year, but it's a thing that's always annoyed me.

90,000 seat capacity? The tickets should all be for the finalists.

sherer · 21-04-2007, 14:01

yes everyone of the 92 clubs in the league get 2 tickets.. so does every club affiliated with the FA plus FIFA and UEFA get tickets plus all the corporate sponsors get tickets too

I've always understood about the tickets being distributed throughout the country, and like you, it's been a constant bane to me as a football supporter. Queuing for hours in the pouring rain, with no guarantee of obtaining a ticket is rediculous. Remember 1988 ? Liverpool v Wimbledon, that was a farce. I forget how many tickets Wimbledon supporters got, but they had at least 5 times their average gate, and Liverpool got significantly less than their average gate. I think the FA may indeed have upped the share to other parties, which again, is out of order.

I think most supporters can live with 2 tickets per non-participating clubs. The figures being quoted are ludicrous though.

good ole spurs pull out an equaliser in the diying seconds

Mal · 21-04-2007, 19:28

Oh well, it makes for an interesting end to the season

I wonder what Southgate moan about today?

pedantic · 22-04-2007, 00:04

Well, I said to myself earlier today, whoever makes the first mistake, will lose the title...........Oops !
