Dusic Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 With Adams (unlikely) and Stewart (impossible) being unavailable from the start I think its almost certain to be the same lineup as for the semi final with Fraser vs Manning the only real decision to make. Big blow not to have a fully fit Adams, especially after having such a good game against them a couple of weeks ago. We did look pretty lightweight in attack both legs until Smallbone's goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be Fraser for me, he’s got both the pace to keep up with their wide players and the threat in behind as we saw on Friday. After watching it back he was better than I’d noticed on the night, in both directions. Really hoping that Che makes it though, though he misses sitters he really helps us click up top 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmore Saint Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 2 hours ago, Saint In Cornwall said: Interestingly the envelope is marked “Advanced First Class” I believe this is where the specialist postage company gets the letter to the local distribution office by their own means and Royal Mail handle the last mile (RM are probably held to a higher SLA than standard letters and would be contracted to get them delivered ASAP I would think). Trusting RM to do the whole thing end to end within a week would be nigh on impossible, given they sacrifice regular stamped post delivery to deliver parcels and the like. All down to the deregulated bit of the postal system.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 3 hours ago, Saint In Cornwall said: Postman just delivered my tickets Be careful about posting tickets online, someone can scan the QR code from it and effectively steal your ticket as the code can only be used once. I'd like to think people on here would be more sensible but I've seen it on Twitter/Facebook as well where obviously anyone in the world could just scan the code and you'd be none the wiser.

Midfield_General Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) 5 hours ago, The Kraken said: It was 2012-13, we brought in the Liverpool away kit, with white shorts and white socks. The club also said they would never deviate from that, and if there was a shorts and/or socks clash then we wouldn’t wear anything but the white and so would change kit completely. Come Christmas and there hadn’t been a single game where we had worn that kit, in fact I believe the club brought back the yellow kit from the season before just to have a viable third kit. They ended up wearing the kit at home as an FA Cup kit, and we lost (to Chelsea?) and so the fortune of the kit was doomed. It might have hot one or two other airings but it was a complete disaster. That kit was utterly absurd from the start. 'OK lads, the colours of our home kit are red and white, what shall we have for the away kit?' 'How about red and white, but in different proportions?' 'Brilliant! Can't possibly see any problems with that - that's what I call out of the box thinking! God we're clever. Now, who wants lunch?' Wasn't that one of the multiple kit-related disasters that happened on Cortese's watch? Edited May 21 by Midfield_General Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) On 20/05/2024 at 19:02, CSA96 said: In which case, I suppose the issue (from an EFL perspective) is then that WBA had suitable socks immediately available in another registered and EFL-approved kit (because the alternate kit is navy) whereas Saints don't, because our other sock options are turquoise or yellow and black. So if an FA official pushes back on white socks, there's not an immediate fix other than totally changing the kit selection. Still, a shame common sense can't be used around these rules to enable them to flex kit rules when it absolutely will not negatively impact the officials or the opponent. Having both teams in their primary colours for the EFL's #1 showpiece game would be better optics (even if ultimately meaningless) I quite like the black and yellow kit anyway, but I can see why it disappoints people for Saints to not be in red and white. Bring back the old gold shirts and black shorts from the sixties! Edited May 21 by saintant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die Mannyschaft Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 My tickets for the womens man u v spurs fa cup final didn't scan the other week. Had to queue then queue at another ticket office. Took about 45 minute reprint tickets. Of the 45 ticket windows most are for club Wembley and enough fans with queries on collecting. Only 9 out the windows were in use. So maybe miss the 4th pint in the pub and get to ground bit early. You have to show ticket round perimeter also as new barriers all round wembly and at steps end Wembley way. So that will be busy with at 2.30pm !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pundits will also suggest that they like the romance of smaller teams winning promotion, like Luton. It appears big clubs 'deserve' to win things, even if they've been poor in recent times. Similar to how some pundits frothed over Newcastle's Carabao Cup run last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
