In this age of statistic saturation it would be interesting to see clubs support analysed on away take up versus allocation.

Fck me is there a thread that isn't having same discussion about Sunderland game?

Fans recover fast though - after Saturday I was thankful that I couldn't make West Ham that'll show 'em eh) but now got ticket for Palace.

Also annoyed at apathy and indifference of the fan who see nothing wrong with it. Glad I don't get my kicks from seeing how far up we are on the opta stats shots on target table or other such bs SSN keep pushing as news.

West Ham went down in 2002/03 with 42

Indeed. See similar on twitter from famous Saints bloggers where they look for some fckwits extreme tweet and then patronises with something like 'can't believe so many are saying blah blah blah' when no one actually is. I pity any fan who wasn't livid after Saturday as they have no soul.

You can go down on more than 40 pts -what makes you think 42 will eve be safety?

First game I could do was Arsenal and if waited to to any ST holder as they had wiped my games from last season I wouldn't have got one hence used mates who weren't going. Tbh I think you are struggling and not sure what you can't grasp that this system perpetuates. Others want to show their loyalty but don't get their chance as others are ahead of them and so this remains. It is only a minor moan but another point is that they won't have necessarily been 'loyal' as others could well have purchased on their tickets. I will also be doing palace on other's STs so again will have no games on mine. If I had my way L1 loyalty would be rewarded as well although actually not as bothered as I may appear as is relatively fair as it stands.

The point is I have had to go on others ahead of me as I haven't shown the 'loyalty'. Same people keep getting priority, which Iand no doubt others, help perpetuate out of desire to see games, so I am not getting chance to show my loyalty on my ST. Not the club's fault as such but system is flawed esp as restarted for Arsenal ignoring all last seasons games. Anyway can't moan too much as know many do far more games than me.

If a new member wants to register they need an email address but as anyone can sign up for gmail, hotmail etc and so can easily have multiple accounts, these domains are not allowed. Must leave some unable to register as a full member as their only email address will not be permitted.

Has MP been misquoted on Europa League? I recall him saying not a competition that interest him when talking about CL which is not the same as saying does not want to qualify. Moot point after Saturday anyway,

Saturday apart it has been pretty good. Can't believe left out the 58% possession ave. bettered only by Swansea.

Who knows but he should either explain or not say anything otherwise just gets speculation going.

This loyalty thing is frustrating. Been to 3 aways this season but none on my ST and so perpetuates the situation of using a mates STs which they are obviously happy to give if not going. Yeovil in FA cup shows more loyalty than Emirates away I reckon.

Luke Shaw tweets the following with no context: So many sly people about ? Referring to his 'apology'? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26226975

I only recall seeing you recently. Think you only registered with me as you were getting torn to shreds. Very clever apparently though.

Serious question re this full member stuff - when will the site allow a web email address? Very few people will use anything but googlemail etc. soon.

That MLG chap might tell you things wouldn't be that simple as being a direct replacement. Many butterflies could flutter.

Don't have the benefit of too much personal history of this place but see many posts stating it was much better in the past, not dominated by a few trolls etc. but is this true? We all know the internet is an angry place and football can bring out the worst in us so was it ever really nicer in the past? Assume there are comparison analytics and that the forum is far busier than ever before and so more potential posters. Wonder if this is reflected in increased posts or people generally aren't posting for fear of ridicule? I find the place, and many of the posters fascinating in many ways but can't deny it often changes my mood for the worst, but so can Twitter. Suspect that would have been the same 5 years ago though and tis the rose tinted spectacles syndrome.

I wondered how the thread topic had generated 144 posts and what people could possibly be discussing. Hard to comment but hasn't eased my guilt that I think I caused 9/11 by holding a fart in.

I really can't fathom how any true fan isn't gutted about such a missed opportunity. I'm almost jealous that they have so little anger and can accept without it spoiling their weekend and will be loyal to the club whatever and find positives. But them I realise these are the sort of dullards I have contempt for showing no passion or original thought.

I am sure it will pass but have not felt so gutted about a defeat for many a moon. Especially when Adam and Steve Davis telling us how important a game it was contrasting with Adam Johnson basically saying he doesn't give a **** and doesn't get why fans do.

Not really. I am not impressed with someone who flings the word mong around as an insult. Downs is close to heart and I find it offensive, Other than that play it how you like

Ah sweet little kraken and his passive aggression. So you have have taken enough interest in my posts to assess my intelligence eh? I thought you had planned to ignore me?Remember you said you didn't like how this place affected you and turned you nasty? Still as long as you are not hurling direct insults you can still convince yourself to be a nice chap eh. And academic achievements and subsequent career don't make me overly concerned about your view (based on posts on football forum no less) of my intelligence.

I saw someone else post that about him. What is the criteria? Using the word mong? FWIW CBFry and Turkish used to annoy me and thought they appeared bullies but actually sympathise when dealing with some of the plums on here.
