  1. If anyone has a Scunthorpe away ticket available I'm after one. One of my mates down here is a scunny fan so quite fancy going, but don't fancy going in the home end. I doubt I could keep my gob shut for 2 hours.

     

    New allocation General sale from monday

  2. I'm looking at getting myself over to Australia for the Ashes next year, probably looking at the final Test in Sydney, plus a weeks touring. The only problem is getting match tickets. They don't go on general sale to England and Wales fans apparently. You have to have an Australian address to be able to buy them.

  3. With 5 players injured (Shola, Jonas, Kadar, Barton and Simpson) and one suspended (Guthrie) this is probably the 1st game of the season we are going to see how stretched we are!

    Likely line up?

     

    ---Harper---

    --Raylor---Saylor---Colo---Enrique--

    --Geremi--Butt---Smith--Lovenkrands--

    -------Carroll----Ranger-------

     

    Subs: Krul, Kishanishvili, Tavernier, Nolan, Lua-Lua, Harewood, Vuckic

     

    Harewood would only of had one days training with the lads but could start i guess, i dont really want Geremi to start but i dont see Nolan going out right or moving Smith or Butt out there so he is really our only option unless young Tavernier starts at RB and Raylor moves to the right wing which i doubt.

     

    Gonna be a tough run out but hopefully the boys will bounce back after a miserable outing midweek.

     

    I reckon it'll be that team but Nolan in for Butt.

  4. I live about 10 miles from Peterborough but I'm still not going, Posh have got to have some of the most annoying staff and irritating local media going. I'd rather we put out a youth team for this one, we need to concentrate on the league imo and the less distractions outside of that and the fewer risks to first teamers the better.

     

    You can believe Peterborough will be treating this like a cup final. They've got ideas way above their station so any win, even over our youth team, will be dished out as if they're good enough to win the Prem - it's funny though, their fans aren't usually that bad but the local media surrounding them and Darren Ferguson really give them an image of loving themselves too much. They're a nothing club, the biggest recent thing in their history was an near court case they had with Mrs Beckham over rights to use the name 'Posh'.

     

    I was going through their city centre in my Toon shirt the other day, had lots of abuse "Who are ya", "you're not famous anymore" etc etc. Thought it was quite doyle-like since I was on my way to the Posh v WBA game and was actually supporting them and was there with my Posh supporting friends.

  5. The defeat is not what is worrying me, it had to come sometime. The important thing is to bounce straight back on Saturday and prevent a bad run in terms of results. You're so quickly out of the top six in this league, so three winless games and our situation would look much different. Just get the three points on Sat and we'll be fine again.

     

    Saturdays game is huge now like.

  6. Off to Lords tomorrow for the ODI. Can't wait.

     

    Mark Butcher was in my hotel bar last night in Leeds. He was good craic, had a few drinks with him reminissing about his 173* against the Aussies. Paul Allot (I think that's his name) the presenter fella, nicked my toast out of the communal toaster at breakfast today too :)
