"Brighton fans should not congregate in large groups" but also "all Brighton fans must all congregate in La Joliette". "Brighton fans face a fine for wandering into the wrong part of the city" (seemingly adjacent to La Joliette) and "should exercise caution" but for taking these risks to...

I haven't added them all up accurately but it looks like there are around 3,000 tickets available, mostly in the East Lower and South, although there's some availability in most blocks other than the North.

I haven't really got my head around how these European football coefficients work but does that mean that the better we do in the Europa League, the higher we push up the coefficients for English teams and the more chance we have of securing a fifth Champions League place for the Premier League...

Think I read on the club site that it's going to be 5 for Ajax and Marseille and 10 for AEK Athens, but its conditional on actual attendance so the points must be being credited after the matches. It might slightly improve our chances of getting away tickets for the knockout rounds, for those...

Now that the transfer window has been gently eased shut, do we think our group of seven is stronger or weaker? I have hopes for Igor, and specialist defensive midfielders aren't usually pushovers, but I can't say that I'm excited by the business we've done this summer. Obvs it's a bit unfair to...

This is such a shame for Palace. They could really have done with this lad as a replacement for Zaha. Whereas we've already got plenty of options in attack. At some point it will start to look like we're following the Chelsea model of hoarding more players than we can reasonably play just to...

I think I may stay up all night refreshing this thread just in case. After spending all day doing that I'm not sure I can stop now anyway.

I would have liked Aberdeen to be in the draw. My dad's an Aberdeen fan and it seems unlikely our two sides will have many chances to meet (unless we drop to the Conference League after the group stage). On the other hand, I'd have no chance of getting an away ticket and I found out tonight that...

Plan B? I can't see how he'd fail a medical in such a way that he'd need a morning-after pill. (Okay, I'm now imagining Fati seducing the doctor and our HR department having to nix the transfer for inappropriate behaviour.)

Seems that my ten-year-old nephew, who's a mad Hibs fan, has chosen to give this one a miss. Mad but not stupid. This is grim for Hibs.

Other clubs can buy our players, but they cannot buy our schadenfreude.

And it's in our hands still. All we have to do is not drop points for the remaining 36 games and the title is ours. There are going to be some massive fixtures this season against our 100% rivals, Manchester City and Arsenal or Palace.

So the one he misplaced was a one-yard nothing pass on the half-way line? I can only assume we'd used all our subs at that point so RDZ couldn't immediately hook him.

I think it's still yesterday in some time zones. #KeepTheFaith

I'm late to the party and when I started the stream YouTube indicated that 59K were watching already. For a friendly that seems... substantial. Maybe it's mostly Rayo Vallecano fans, but if it's not Barber really should start planning for extra tiers on all four stands.

Selfishly: somewhere I can get to by train relatively easily and with a large enough stadium that ticket sales go down to those of us day-tripper away fans who are usually in the second loyalty points tier.

I was going to call this thread "Albion on fire". But I suppose it's a serious matter.

Parkrun on Hove prom was pretty punishing this morning. Still had the tail end of that northeasterly wind, which was refreshing on the two long legs towards the Meeting Place cafe, but with the wind speed being approximately "jogging pace" it vanished when we were running with it. I think I may...

The part one video is here: https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/arsenal/12898551/when-playing-out-from-the-back-goes-wrong-2223-part-1 We feature again, as beneficiaries again. I wonder if Sky have enough examples for a part three.

That bloke at least had the excuse that at that point we hadn't seen Enciso score any worldies. Whereas I may have rolled my eyes and loudly groaned "don't shoot" when I saw him lining up his shot against Manchester City. Ahem.
