Do we get a point for this?

6000 knowing our ticket office.

There will always be isolated incidents with a new system like this. The question is how helpfully/politely did the club deal with the issue once it occured?

This happened all through last season. Why on earth they can't catch on I've got no idea.

If anybody has 5 tickets lower tier but would really love front row seats, give me a shout as happy to swap. Long shot.

Try stopping me. Hate sitting.

My envelope was open too, but no tickets missing.

Got ours today. Row 1, not ideal but at least we will be there. The fact that non-eligable people could buy them in the wrong periods is a bit of a joke, feel sorry for those who missed out by actually waiting for the correct window.

I quite like it (hides).

Did you record the game? Go back and watch it. Having read your comment I thought "well maybe I had it wrong" so I just went back and watched from 64 to 74, which is when Adkins made the first changes. Seriously, we were not running the show, not even close. We had started to drop deeper, concede possession and chances. If you look from 67.00, we start to come under pressure, Kelvin gives the ball away the defence panic and concede the penalty. From the resulting corner there's a United shot at 68.30. They have another shot at 70.45, a good chance for Van Persie that on another day he could easily have scored. Scholes is getting more and more into the game. Lambert barely touches the ball after the penalty. Valencia gets dangerous crosses in down the right 2 or 3 times. Most of the possesion is in our half, we are dropping very deep other than Lambert who is starting to get isolated. Clearly the substitutions didn't work, to try and claim anything else would be ridiculous. What ****es me off though is the re-writing of the game "we were running the show" etc.... We weren't, we were going to concede, Adkins had to change something and Lambert was barely in the game anymore. Nigel will have to remember not to react so quickly in future to what was a clear change in the momentum of the game. He will have to wait for the fans to catch up and accept things are going downhill.

Whilst in hindsight the changes clearly didn't come off. I could see Adkins thinking.... Get fresh legs on up the pitch, give them something to worry about, get Mayuka on running the channels and giving us an outball. It was actually a very positive change and I'd much rather that than he bring on Richardson and Seaborne as many other managers might've done. Now ultimately it didn't work out and he will accept responsibility for that, but people acting as though it was the worst decision in the history of football are being a bit over the top I think.

Haha that's fantastic. So even Hooiveld's **** ups are Fonte's fault!

To anybody who boooed Guly coming on. To anybody who got up and left at 2-2. You don't deserve this team, you didn't deserve to see two promotions and you don't deserve to see your team stay up. You are idiots.

His job is to be a pundit, to provoke discussion and to give his honest opinion. It's quite possible to do all of those things really very well without being a **** about it. Anyway, back to Ramirez, are either of next weeks uruaguay games likely to be on uk tv anywhere? I know it's unlikely but you never know....

It isn't on iplayer. Not that I can see anyway.

Why are you getting so worked up? It doesn't matter.

It is worth remembering that it took Swansea some time to adapt to this league, they didn't even score for over a month.

I would be absolutely gutted if Rickie was pushed out. I would be gutted for sentimental reasons. I would also be gutted because he's a ****ing great player. I agree with Hypo, would rather see us go down with SRL than become that club.

Maybe we will sing a funny song about it like we did for Lee Barnard... No?

Just shows that things have moved on in this division... But also what belief and confidence that you are a proper Premier League team can do. Some of those players went on to drop out of the league, but at the time they believed they were good enough and so they were. Confidence is such a massive thing in football. Our current Saints team lacking in confidence vs our current Saints team brimming with confidence would be a rout.

I did notice on the highlights that just before Wigan's goal, Crosby (I think) looked like he was talking Shaw through some tactics, I wonder whether he was just due to come on at Left Back or further forward.

Having watched the highlights back I feel a little better, certainly on another day we could have won that, and we weren't as bad as I came away feeling. Like others though, I like the 433 451 in theory, but we need better wide players if we're going to play like that with Rickie leading the line.

You say penny pinching, I say not spunking all our money away on one player.
