TWO CUP FINALS in quick succession... it's just 1982 all over again!
Had a beer earlier in the brickies. Thought our Thomas Cook tickets would be in west stand but nope..East stand upper block J!!!
Used to love J Block mate, but touristy now! Everyone will be singing today though, have a great time
Cheers mate! And you :dierpochhug:
Point of contention, if we win 1 out of the 2 games left we'll have 73 pts - our highest ever total was 72 pts under AVB when we finished the season 5th - does this mean the league is easier or harder?
Hope the lads do us proud today and secure that 2nd spot. Was meant to be at the game but done my ankle in and am on crutches so had to give my ticket away. Gutted.
There has been much more even distribution of points this year owning to the weaker top four and a stronger league across the board. The new TV money has enabled smaller clubs to compete a little better.
What it shows is just how much of a grip the money teams had on the top a few years ago. Now that there is more money for other sides I think those days are not going to be as frequently.
Plus, our total under AVB was 72. 73 would have seen us on equal points with the scum (albeit still behind on GD). The different between us and second that year was 6 points. We could yet finish the season with 76 points, and if we did that we'd be two points behind the team that finished in 2nd that year (City). So I don't think the gap is huge.
I think anyone who claims it's been an easy year is probably talking our of their arse. Yes it's been easier up and around the top four because of a weaker Man U, Chealsea, City and Scum, but you still have to win points to be up there...and the fact is that the smaller teams are now stronger than the once were (with the exception of Villa of course). Overall the difference isn't huge. But I do think we need to make one or two key investments this summer to ensure that we are stronger next season just in case the top four becomes harder to break into again.
sing up guys, first PL match ever I've tried and then failed to get tickets for. Forgot to log in early enough and then tortured by the donut of doom for 3 hours.
I don't dare look up the stats to see when we last beat a decent team without the Moose.

Yeah, I did correct the 72/73 confusion.
Defences seem to have stiffened up, the goals to game ratio is a bit lower than then. I'd say three investments if we're going to build on this season as I think we should be looking to do.
That sucks. Get better soon bud
When we beat Swansea 2-1, it wasn't pretty, required Chadli and Danny Rose.
Time for Mr. Mason to step up to the plate then.
Bit surprised Trippier isn't on the bench. Otherwise as expected.
We should win as there is no real pressure on us.
If there was we wouldn't win
