We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

why the gently caress are arsenal tickets so expensive? the villa away allocation sold out and I tried to just pick up tickets on exchange and the cheapest ones on there for the rest of the season are like 89 pounds.

Because they sell out even with those ridiculous prices and i guess the issue with the exchange is the people with season tickets who put them on there rather then give them to a mate are going to be those with the more expensive seats

Stoke should be given first dibs for all players on bosmans

Stoke posted:

The Potters led the way last summer with the unprecedented decision to offer free coach travel for all away league matches, inspiring a wider Premier League initiative following the increase in income delivered by new television deals.

It also means that with the ticket prices for the Hull City fixture, supporters can travel and watch Stoke City's first Premier League away game of the 2014/15 season from just £16 for adults.

http://www.stokecityfc.com/news/article/club-to-continue-free-away-travel-offer-for-201415-1772960.aspx

Club subsidises all away tickets and gives free coach travel to every fan with an away ticket.

James Chester needs surgery on his shoulder. That's Hull done, I don't think they have any fit CBs apart from Davies now. Even Bruce has done his thigh.

He's one of possibly too many players we have that are easy to love but nowhere near good enough for the prem. If his brain worked just a bit faster he'd be class.

There's something to be said for a squad player who just does boring defensive duty in the middle of the field. Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlin and Flamini too often end up in attack leaving gaps at the back.

Nice to see a bit of balance and a boring player doing a job for once.

We've still got Maguire, so I guess he'll get a run now but yeah we're hosed.

Top of the league though! http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php

It's amazing. The stat is wrong, it ignores other keepers who have more or an equal number of clean sheets, and he's not even first alphabetically.

'Our keeper has a similar number of clean sheets to Brad Guzan!' makes for a worse infographic I guess.

It ignores that if you've watched him at all you'd see that he is, in fact, utterly poo poo.

^ Probably isn't counting Villa or something. Sunderland x 2, Spurs, Hull, Burnley, Stoke, Villa = 7

I think it was just comparing him with keepers from other "top" teams, not overall in the league or whatever.

(It's still utterly meaningless and hilarious).
