The packages that take you in on the day and back shortly after the game are sold out, as are the "book your own hotel" packages. The 3 day stay over packages are still available, but they start at £1500...

I think they sold out in about 45 minutes mate.

Very true. I've heard people say before that it's obviously the best way to defend set pieces but requires a high level of concentration and intelligence from the players doing it. The main problem is that when it goes wrong you look like a bunch of arses.

It always amuses me when we get stick for having no history. We went from being lauded for having the best fans to being derided and having "Where were you when you were shit?" sung at us. Hopefully someone will come up for a beautiful lyrical retort to that song. Lazy away fans and their...

The main event is supposed to start at 10.15. Apparently Valuev (the big fella) and his guys are trying to make Haye fight earlier at the moment, about 9.30. Haye is having none of this as this will mean he will have to go head to head with X-Factor and he doesn't want that to be the reason he...

Aaah yes. The glory days when Barton was taking our free kicks/corners etc. I like to see the players aggresively attacking the ball in the air these days. As people have already stated, being excited about getting a set piece is somewhat alien to me after recent years. If the ball didn't end up...

Could be to do with the weather? The seasons are reversed below the equator I think (summer during our winter) so maybe that's one of the reasons for it? I know that's the case with South Africa anyway!

I found it interesting that they seem to have finally accepted that our owners aren't the Abu Dhabi version of Mike Ashley. (Al Fahim seems to have taken that glorious title now.) Far from being the reactionary idiots they were originally portrayed as, the press appear to have realised that...

Nothing should come of this. There is even precedent of it happening before. Chelsea vs. Tottenham. Spurs fan runs on the pitch takes a massive swing at Lampard who ducks underneath it, cue Drogba doing what can only be described as a spear and then a bit of a pile on. Although Bellamy was...

I agree that that twitter page looks obviously fake. I can't understand why players would do anything like this via social networking sites. Bents torrent of abuse directed at Levy via twitter was one of the most ridiculous footballing stories I've ever heard. I do like however, the thought of...

Cashtoure is probably the worst attempt at a derogatory nickname i've ever read. Cashabayor (changed a bit) is only slightly better. I am intrigued to see how this saga will end. Did Barry hand a transfer request in last season when he was angling for a move to Liverpool?

I think the "You have no history" argument is a fairly weak one in any case. Chelsea had "no history" before they started winning titles, yet i'm fairly certain Vialli won something ridiculous like 10 cups in his time with them.

And Nowrich if we're being pedantic! They finished 3rd in 1992. It's a fairly interesting league table if anyone is interested. QPR are 5th, Liverpool are 6th, and look which two clubs City end up directly above! <a class="postlink"...

Get in! Absolutely delighted with this one!!

Adebayor is going to be fantastic for us. I cannot wait to see him bullying defenders, out pacing them, and bringing Robinho/Tevez/Ireland et al. into the game! The final piece of our attacking puzzle. Now, about that defence....
