Though I have not any problems with getting into the Amex, I noticed 2 weeks ago or so that my phone showed April 2022 and up came in my wallet the 3 match season ticket from the autumn! The whole thing is certainly not infallible. In addition, I was limping for one of the matches prior to Xmas...

Yes, I am staggered at the sheer number of empty seats, even allowing for the cold and Tv coverage. Years ago, a reply at home to a PL equivalent side would have assured a huge crowd -how times have changed.

That doesn't totally surprise me - I was impressed with him at Championship level, when loaned out, and thought that we might have kept him.

But no one has said otherwise -of course they do. What annoys folk, quite understandably is when groups of workers who know they have industrial clout, use it continually to hike up their already generous pay. Train drivers have a responsible job, which should be adequately rewarded, but the...

and diverted into the pockets of already well paid train drivers . . .

Fantastic support from the fans -I think that other tickets may be made available nearer the time, as the UEFA hangers-on finally say they are not interested. Bet they will be if we ever made Dublin and then regular fans will be forced out.

Fulham were one of my favourite teams for years and it was always a good away match - nice pubs by the river and a great part of London -I always found their fans friendly and pleasant. But I was very disappointed with their tactics last season and even more so this time with the constant...

Yes, fully agree. he is going to be some player, but like you, I have noticed that at times his first touch can let his overall play down.

When I used to mark A Level papers, it was staggering to see that there and their were perpetually being muddled ! It was a very frequent error.

I think it would be a disaster if a replay was needed -that team needs a rest even if it just for 5 to 7 days; having to then play a cup replay will negate any intended wish to give the players a winter break.

As I recall, Cyprus was governed by a government headed by Archbishop Mackarios, (spelling?) which was adjudged to be quite moderate. Then what was described as a gangster regime took over, and the Turks feared for the safety of the "Turkish Cypriots" living in the north, hence the invasion.

I think you do have a point here. During the very dark days, crowds at Gillingham and withdean were poor, compared to today. But during the Withdean years, I recall the Albion saying that they had a database of 20,000 fans. The majority of those fans might not have gone regularly to Withdean...

Agreed -there are quite a few games but by the Wolves match, one assumes that a few will be returning, and we don't know if we will be in the second cup round!! You could well be right that RDZ simply does not rate him, which could well be the point -if he is not rated, then he presumably...

Yes, it does seem so, agreed. BUT -he was loaned out for a reason, which presumably is that RDZ felt that he was not quite ready in the pecking order, and needed much valued match experience. If he stays, he then has to stay as he cannot play for 3 clubs in one season. So he might be called upon...

One suspects that the relationship between the club and Japan's football authorities might be strained given the previous issue when he did not play for them in the autumn and their accusation that he was being overplayed, and that this might have something to do with their decision to include...

Yes, the club are well within their rights to insist he stays with us, so as not to fall foul of the 3 club rule, as we are presumably paying him lots. And doubtless it would help in the next 6 weeks or so until we are at full strength again -we hope! But after that, we might have a rather...

I have little hope that we will get anything from this sadly. I fully appreciate that this is what many said about the Spurs game, with our injuries but with 2 more first teamers out, including Dunky whose influence at the back is crucial, plus the fact we are now away, it is asking a great deal.

We are down to the bare bones and in theory his addition could be beneficial. Like others I was surprised that he was released at all to go on loan, but trust RDZ and his staff. But another poster has mentioned the rule that you can't play for 3 clubs in one season -if I have understood this...

Yes, it does on the surface seem odd, as the exact problem has not been mentioned. But of course it could be illness rather than injury, and you could argue that then he is entitled to "medical in confidence" as anyone else. It could be to do with something "down there" for all we know! But...

Didn't they target and partially destroy it some time ago, only for Putin to then launch a massive missile attack in a strop. This might be the reason?
