    Anyone got a last minute ticket?

    Long shot but does anyone have a last minute ticket available? My son’s football match cancelled so I can now attend…thank you!

    1979 FA cup final on ITV now..

    Anyone watching? Wow they don’t make cup finals like that anymore - the suits, the hair (Alan Sunderland), the sideburns, the kits, the crowd, the meaty tackles and all players from the British Isles (I think). And the last five minutes aren’t bad either...

    Fanbase

    3700 fans (a record for a reserve fixture?) at last night’s match at a distinctly chilly DC. Many of those present not even born when we went up to the PL. Does this mean - conclusively - that we have grown our fanbase? And we could fill a 20k stadium?

    Ticket for Liverpool?

    Am on the hunt for two tickets - 1 adult, 1 junior - for Saturday if anyone can’t make it. Long shot, I know, but thank you!

    ‘Norwich have been a breath of fresh air this first half.’ HT: Liverpool 4-0 Norwich

    Football fans and their delusions...

    Good mate of mine is a Sheff Utd fan - top top man, intelligent, well-travelled, urbane, good company, funny, all the things you want a mate to be. Except, he is convinced the Blades are going to ‘smash’ us this weekend. Apparently they’ve made some decent signings including someone who may have...

    Non - blackbird attacking our cat!

    Carnage in the back garden today. Male blackbird repeatedly swooping down from the garage roof to attack / ward off our family cat. Presumably to protect chicks in a nearby nest. Anyone ever come across this before? Being something of an orthonologist, I totally defend the blackbird’s right to...

    Rubbish on the pitch

    Plastic bags, wrappers, bottles and cups all over the pitch second half. What’s all that about? Looked like the town beach at the end of a Sunday in August. Can’t people just take their rubbish home with them?

    This weekend

    Anyone else staring at the Cherry-less void opening up ahead of us this weekend and wondering what the heck they are going to do? What’s a man to do? Support Yeovil Friday night vs Man Utd? Hope that Hazard and co huff and puff and stretch a hamstring or two against Newcastle? Take the...

    Anyone else...?

    ....dreading telling their kids the score this morning? 0-3 against a L1 side. Tantrums, tears and many slammed doors expected (and that’s just me!). Wish me luck. I’m going in...

    Manchester derby

    I see Jose has picked a strong front four for the derby, Lukaku, Lingard, Martial and Lingard all start. Back of his mind he's worried about Wednesday's match so needs all 3 pts today? ??????

    Attendance last night - AFCB the only club to...

    ...increase attendance over the previous home game (acc. to a piece in the Times today): last night 10 372, previous home game 10 369. Some of the decreases at other clubs are eye watering: Palace 6 607 v 24 199 W Ham 35 806 v 56 977 Wolves 12 740 v 23 045 Spurs 23 926 v 65 366 Well done us...

    Tickets wanted for tomorrow!

    Cheeky request - if anyone has tickets for the match tomorrow and is unable to attend, please do let me know, I'd love to take my two boys to DC. Many thanks indeed.

    FA cup craziness

    Wolves beat Liverpool at Anfield. Wycombe 2-0 up at White Hart Lane. Rochdale v Accrington final anyone?

    Drama at the Emirates!

    Two men sent off (inc Arsene Wenger), two pens in injury time, Arsenal win 2-1 and Burnley don't go above us. Brilliant!

    FA Cup 3rd round: best day in the sporting calendar?

    When the part-time pro's, the postmen, the plumbers, the chippies and accountants (not usually many of those, to be fair) collide with the big boys from the PL on bumpy pitches in front of hot dog stands. Ah the shocks, the romance, the clichés. Doesn't get much better than this! Eastleigh...

    Spurs 2-0 Chelsea...

    Away sides all concede three goals today...

    ....even Man City. Clutching at straws, I know...but a mild comfort that we weren't alone today! Back to DC on Tuesday, 3 home goals v Leicester would do very nicely...

    Juergen Klopp - class act

    Juergen Klopp - just watched the interview on Sky, epitome of grace in defeat, full of praise for our players. Hugging Ibe and Brad Smith on the pitch. Class act. Other managers could learn a lot from this, IMO.
