The moment has passed but in my good, bad and the ugly this weekend one of the latter two for this weekend would have been all the empty seats at the New Library.


We are led to believe that there are 1000s that can't get tickets for the Arse.


So the redistribution of spare season tickets is failing let alone people buying season tickets and not going. I only ever missed matches when my parents took me on holiday (yes I was a teenager at the time, when it was a close thing also between football and girls), or on one occasion when my selfish sister got married.


And would offload the spare ticket to a mate, I think this was three matches missed in four years; I'd love an explanation on why for many matches there are thousands of empty seats at the Emirates; I wouldn't be that bothered if they didn't included these as another sell out attendance.

???? and Ots, you've already made predictions for week 17 a couple of pages back. I posted 4 'weeks' worth of fixtures in case people were away over the festive period like LadyGooner. I think I was the only one who didn't do this, preferring single 'week' forecasts. Let me know which predictions you want me to take.


For future reference, I don't mind if anyone wants to amend predictions, as long as it's done before kick-off, and provided it's done on the original post, not a new one, otherwise there's a good chance I will miss it...

For those (bozos) who posted their predictions twice. It would be interesting to see if there was much correlation between guess 1 and guess 2. :)


As regards my top score this week, I can take the ridicule with the same charm as I shall exude when taking the title come May. Look out behind. I'm coming with a late run of form.

I was so 'score-crazed' by the time it came to predicting week three that I predicted without due care and attention - it's a Big 'Arry Management technique from his WH days "It's crazy Garth you know? I'm down to the bare bones this week so, you know, the team picks itself..."


(and sauce natch)


Happy New Year all B)

Refs have always been inconsistent, in that they will allow all sorts of pushing, pulling and general scratching each other's eyes out in the penalty box, yet will give a free kick for the merest hint of 'contact' outside the box...that is until yesterday when Clattenburg give a pen against Norwich for 'holding' a player in the box. I wonder if his fellow refs will follow?..

Interesting little piece with Rob Jones.


When he signed for Liverpool in 1991, he was on ?500 a week, and the most he ever earnt as a player was ?7000 a week before retireing due to injury in 1999. What a difference a decade makes!

It all went bonkers when Seth Johnson of Leeds was allegedly getting ?35k a week, not sure when that was exactly...


ETA..He signed for Leeds in 2001...


The story of Johnson's contract negotiations with Leeds have passed into legend, a chilling damnation of Ridsdale's spendthrift regime. It goes as follows: Johnson had been earning ?5,000 a week at Derby and his agent told him he wouldn't settle for less than ?13,000 a week at Leeds. Ridsdale's opening gambit, however, surprised them both. "Right, I'm sorry, I can only offer you ?30,000 a week," he said. Around the table jaws dropped in genuine shock. "Oh, all right then," said Ridsdale, filling the silence, "?37,000."

Can't wait for glass ankles to get injured, then we'll see just how much you're inclined to mirth. Or will the little boy inside you be crying "mummy"?

    • @NewWave that’s a good idea!! Someone cannot book well in advance to cancel regularly . They should monitor that.  Also I didn’t know you can book two weeks in advance. I was not aware of it. It’s even  more frustrating now because I used to book regularly without any problem a week  in advance and on the day. I regret it!  I shouldn’t have done it. Unfortunately no money back. I guess I can try the gym for some body weight training but don’t know how it works! Thank you for your feedback 
    • Yes, probably, but I do like the one I have. 
    • @Jellybeanz In response you know nothing about me I will not list all the charities I support (with regular donations) I simply feel there are ample inexpensive opportunities for small buisnesses to advertise their services.  
    • @angehouse  I've found the same issue..its been the same for over 2 years now...every class I want to attend has a waitlist even 10days in advance and then a few hours before spaces magically become available by which point I've made other plans or do'nt have my gym stuff to hand and I'm not in the area (I don'nt lead a life where I can just sit at home and amble down to the gym as and when..theres only a few classes I can get to on my days off work) Its very very annoying. I'm sure its the same people that book well in advance then cancel..if only they could monitor the people who do this repeatedly and bar them from advance bookings for 6 weeks or something to teach them a lesson. For this reason I have'nt been to any classes at the gym for well over a year and just use the gym. Its frustrating.
