      It could be seen as either 2pts dropped or 1pt gained, such was the last 10 mins of the game.

      However, looking at a bigger picture, I’m sure even the most die-hard fan wouldn’t have expected to have won the last 6 league games before tonight, and if they had been offered 19pts out of the next 21 at 5pm on 8 Feb, they would have taken it.

      Mutty, please stop taking sense. You know it will upset people here.

          Ben will be telling the same story in years to come except he scored the winner

          Get well soon Ben

          I presume he’ll alter the old quiz question:

          Sunderland did it in 1979 and Villa did it in 1981.

          Who did it in 2013?

              To finish in the top six – and win a coveted place in the Europa League – it looks like two clubs out of three.

              The latest odds;

              Tottenham 1/3 = 8/24
              Everton 4/9 = 8/18
              Manchester United 8/13

              Competition looks very close at the top and bottom of the Premier League too.

              Funny isn’t it, that it’s a “coveted Europa League place” (no criticism of you by the way WGTB for using the phrase), until they actually get into it, then it’s a distraction from the main thrust of next season – which is to finish high enough to qualify for Europe the following season ad infinitum – so second string teams are fielded. :unsure:

                I really hope this is worth the wait.

                Sammy, can’t you just trace it and hand-deliver us all a copy? It would be much quicker ;)

                Or describe it. ;)

                  Home game for the Gunners then, just how we like it,out numbered were at our best. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

                  Yes. When all 22807 of us are singing about being the FA Cup ChampionsHolders Winners….the Cockneys will be quaking in their boots…or more likely pissing themselves laughing :ohmy: The latter when we start the chant we learned from our Belgian friends.

                  Arsenal used to play their Champions League games at Wembley a few years back, but Wenger would winge like hell about us having an unfair advantage if the game was at Old Trafford.

                  Haven’t we been to Wembley more in the last couple of seasons than Arsenal have? So why is it an unfair advantage to them?

                    Back to the subject thread

                    My question would be this – how did he / they (the secret reporter(s)) get a ticket for the game. How could he possibly be on the database !!??!!

                    We only use the database to limit purchases for certain games (eg Liverpool, United).

                    How on earth otherwise would anyone be able to buy tickets and get on the database? It’s by buying tickets for games like Brighton that qualify someone to buy tickets for higher profile games.

                      I think we can agree on that. The f****t reference is certainly abusive language likely to cause offence. As such it is illegal.
                      I’m not at all convinced that “we can see you holding hands” (as I said I haven’t seen the programme, so that was what had been mentioned here) can cause harassment, alarm or distress. That would be for a court to decide, and personally I am not sure I would want my taxes to be used to pursue such. The f****t comment is a different matter.
                      Just to be clear I am arguing legal technicalities, not that it is acceptable to sing such things.

                        You’re confusing “racism/homophobia/sexism” which is a mindset, with “discrimination” which is an offence.

                          ”We can see you holding hands” ?? ban em all for life !! , and their mums and dads should be ashamed and fined £1,000,000. They should then be publicly birched before every home game in front of “Next” then salt poured in the wounds before been dragged onto the center circle were we can all throw fruits at them

                          FRUITS !! …… sorry !!

                          Cucumbers !!! Jees , ,sorry again

                          Still classed as homophobic abuse though CW.[/quote]

                          I can’t watch 4oD at present, but I assume that this was at the Brighton game.

                          Surely it’s only homophobic abuse if they were homosexual, and clearly so. They would also need to prove that the abuse was insulting and derogatory, which I don’t think it is. I’m not trying to support such songs, but to say it is illegal is pushing things too far.

                          As a number of you know I was born in Liverpool, and have all the years since I left had to put up with “thief” jokes. It gets wearing at times, besides being unoriginal, but it’s not deemed illegal.

                          Why should singing about what one town is known for be illegal, when another stereotype is allowed?

                              He is in the Honduras squad to play a World Cup warm up friendly against Venezuela this week, so Uwe has probably said he wasn’t needed in or with the squad for yesterday. If he has chosen to go and watch another game then I don’t think there’s anything sinister to it.
