I suppose I' m the only one interested on this forum in CL football this evening : Liverpool - Chelsea, The battle of Brittain.

So, I hope the first half has been better than the second...not very entertaining match IMO, if it wasn't for the penaltys...

[April madness]

I'm happy with Liverpool winning, now - can Milan do the same?

Bristol Rovers won today to get them into the play-offs. Hopefully they can win and get promoted :-)

I am a spurs fan - went to about 5 games this season. Very pleased with the progress over the last couple of years - getting 5th two seasons in a row!

However, the membership package for this year has come through - the price last seaosn was ~£28. This year it is £38 (with less benfits) and if you want to be put on a waiting list to have a slim chance of getting a season-ticket it is £51. Are there any other fans out there who have noticed a similar price hike?

As mentionned on this thread football seems increasingly about money. Has anyone decided that they ought to start following a non-league side? It is the way I'm thinking of going.

rafa benetiz is by far the best manager, if you guys all talk about money then liverpool don't have much, some of you might disagree~!! and i've read post that say martin jol is a good manger and so on, but look at spurs they have bundle loads of money, just look at the amount of players they buy and don't use

benetiz is only getting money since the takeover and his taken liverpool to 2 CL Finals and done ok for the premiership, since we always have a bad run at the start.

Definately mate heres ten reasons why...

1. Coppers treat you like human beings.
2. You will afford a halftime pie and a drink at normal prices.
3. A better view and even stand if you want.
4. See real men playing not overpaid ponces.
5. Meet opposing fans and even like em instead of wondering if they have a stanley in their pocket.
6. Instead of 5 or 6 matches a season it'd be every home game and 5 or 6 away for the same cost.
7. No escort back to your coaCh/train after the game allows you to actually see where you are other than on a map.
8. Never worry again about getting a ticket to that all important game.
9. Take the kids with you, safely.
10. YOU WILL SIMPLY ENJOY IT MORE.

Come on Yeovil! Championship Football here we come!

Yeovil fan eh? You nicked Slade, JPK and Mildenhall off us! I'd like to see you go up, wouldn't be surprised with those three. Despite Slade's tactics being hoofball, they still seem to work . But just a warning, don't be surprised if you capitulate in the final - our performance at Cardiff last year was dismal to say the least.

[Lee Vilenski]

eah, but we had Gall, Jevons and our last manager nicked by Bristol City!

I hope Yeovil do go up so Argyle can have two, yes two! local derbys.

Two derbys? who's the other? Southampton and Bristol are a bit far away to be called local!

[Alex0paul]

Well Bristol City is two hours away. Thats the best it gets for us unless miraculously Exeter and Torquay get a succession of promotions.

Well Morcambe put paid to that yesterday!

Does that make you the most remote team in a division!?

I'm sorry Lee, you will have to refresh my memory, i've forgotten who the matchstick men are!
