If Spurs focused less on Arsenal and more on themselves they'd be properly good. Finishing ahead of your rivals is pointless.

Newcastle need to do one glaringly obvious thing: keep Rafa. Whatever it takes.

Mitrovic wants a word with himself. His assault on Walker and subsequent actions will hopefully see him fined. Horrible stuff.

Old Trafford evacuted. It was a fake bomb, left by mistake after a training exercise!
Someone is going to be in trouble, and could end up being sued.
Plus Man U are in the FA cup on Sunday and have to play again this Tuesday.
What's more worrying is that it wasn't found during the mandatory pre-match checks before spectators were allowed in to the stadium. I think the people responsible for those checks will have more to answer for that the company that left the package behind.

Are you going Mark?

I hope so, Bradford have a rip-off "loyalty" card for away fans that they charge for, I've never bought nor needed one. The tickets are restricted to these folk until Tuesday I believe, but I think the result will put many off, I can't see 2500 (our allocation) taking Friday off to go a SE London night game now. Me, I am convinced that we are going through. ^_^

I'd be very aware after the game if you win! I know things have changed and it's not the same ground but i went to watch Blackburn at the old den in 1977. By coincidence they were making a Panorama documentary about their hooligans that day. If you look at this on 13 minutes 10 seconds you'll see a bloke we went with called Clive Wallwork.

He has a barbers shop in Accrington. I went for a haircut the other year and he said he gets asked at least once a week about his few seconds of fame. That day was horrible! Blokes in their 40's and 50's trying to attack us(i was 16). The police didn't give a toss saying we'd only gone down there to cause trouble. We even had one of their nutters get on our coach with a knife after the game. I'm happy to say he got a good kicking and was dumped out the emergency exit door.^_^

I am hoping they'll lose Accy, that's why I am going! ^_^ If the tickets are sold out then my lad says we should nip across to the Stanley game, is that likely a sell out?.

I've just asked that question on the fans forum. http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f93/tickets-for-wednesday-68280.html No replies so far. The club say tickets are on sale today and tomorrow so i don't think it'll be a sell out. I reckon there'll be around 3500 on though they say Wimbledon are bringing around a thousand fans.So maybe it could reach 4000.

The helicopters are turning up at the training ground and the roads are getting very busy, it's as if something was happening in Leicester tonight.

Just about to set off home from work, traffic is going to be chaos, good job I'm on the bike ^_^

We all got sent home at three, nice move by the boss. As it was half the workforce had asked for the afternoon off, and the other half had no idea how they were going to get home through the city. We're not going, we're off shopping at Fosse Park instead, it should be quiet.

Please no. He popped up in Leicester again the other day, pretending to serve on the family fruit stall on the market. Amazing now he seems to be trying to make the whole story about him... actually it's not amazing, it's typical for him.

He's become a Media Luvvie over the years.

Still, can't blame him as he's only trying to put beans on the family dining table.

His performance on MOTD though is downright pathetic - hardly an insight to be heard from him and he's become a bit of a dick with his lame one-liners.

Maybe Jose was right about an anti-Chelsea FA bias. :smile:

Spurs (3rd breach of mass confrontation rule) and 9 yellows on the night (EPL record) = £225000 fine

Chelsea (4th breach) and 3 yellows on the night = £375000 fine

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36307519

I'm not saying both teams did not deserve to be fined but, bearing in mind Spurs should've had 3-5 reds on the night had the referee had the balls to do his job properly, that is some disparity.
