Didn't Sunderland lose to Sacramento Kings FC recently? So quite literally worse than worse than MLS.

Pre-season results don't mean anything, especially against American teams who are in the middle of their real season.

Liverpool are undefeated against a bunch of Australian and Thai teams. A win or a draw in Malaysia will convince me that the league is going back to Merseyside.

I think you'll find that they actually lost to an MLS reserve team.

The Philadelphia Union lost to Bournemouth 4-1, but that's because the Union are bad (except when playing with ten men in the US Open Cup, it seems).

actually we just powerfully dominated the san jose earthquakes in our proud defence of the international champions cup (which incidentally is probably a Pointless answer if "competitions more credible than the SPL" ever comes up)

Actually they lost to what was mostly RBNY 2, which is the third tier in US soccer. I do not know how this compares to the third tier of Scottish football but I'd imagine not very favorably.

People give Nolan a lot of poo poo but I think it's actually more embarrassing to watch Matt Jarvis try and play a game of football. At the very least, Nolan has the excuse of getting old. Jarvis cost more, is younger, is just as poo poo and never had the period of being good that Nolan did.

On the plus side, I can't see Bilic playing anything other than a full-strength side for the next round after this lovely game. Plus, a load of people are now eligible to play: Payet, Ogbonna, Lanzini, Jenkinson and Valencia should all be available so at least I won't have to watch Jarvis or Maiga next time.

My season ticket turned up and they didnt even put it in a box like last year. It doesnt even come with any freebies, theres a voucher for the usual diary of the season that comes with it normally that you have to go to the megastore to collect.

I think it came standard post the envelope was so thin. Im not happy. I wanted a box.

Yeah Ive still got a load of badges and keyrings that used to come in the member packs.

I thought I'd posted last years box in the kit & box thread but I didnt. It came with 2 magazines, yearbook, dvd and a load of vouchers. This one is literally in an envelope like a train ticket and with the voucher booklet and nothing else.

Duh. When he came here he said this would be his last contract.

What's new about the latest interview is that he's actually open to extending his stay now.

Swansea still charge the earth to fans of other clubs. It's Swansea fans that get cheap away days thanks to good old Huw.

But only loyalty card members and only on tickets bought before they go on general sale.

There's a lot of lovely clauses involved, actually. It's a bit disappointing.

make all football tickets free, allocate based on being able to name members of your 1994 first team squad

if you bring your girlfriend with you the team mascot is allowed to put you in a gunge tank
