I'm going to manfully watch it in the same lucky pub I watched the PSG game in allowing a real blue to get a ticket, do I get a prize?So who won the biggest blue competition?

Wonderfully putI can afford it, I can afford to take the best part of half a day off to wait on the phone, I can afford to buy a season ticket.
What I can't afford to do is believe this gives someone any type of entitlement or superiority, over someone else.
Everybody has circumstances, everyone has their own issues to contend with, whether they be family, health, work or money.
Supporting a football club should not be a pissing contest about who has the deepest pockets.
My dad is 65 soon, one day you might be sat next to him in the pub as he nurses his pint, because it doesn't sit well with him that his son buys his season ticket, and he'll be watching it on the TV.
Maybe his son will find money harder to come by one day, as his young family gets older?
Few will have any knowledge of the years, money and devotion they have already put in.
They are a blue, and they deserve every entitlement anybody with more advantages has.
And the club need to address it.
I can't find in my post where I wrote everybody is the sameI can. I miss some games because I cant be arsed. I missed the games against Palace and Hull for the simple reason they didn't really appeal to me and I don't like night matches so combined it wasn't enough to attract me. I went against Everton and the final.
I missed Villa at home because I was a bit under the weather. Nothing major and had it been Arsenal at home I would have gone. Villa didn't appeal.
Its not just about money for some, its about convenience, having other things to do etc...I am missing Stoke on Saturday for a family event.
There will be a fair few who miss games for the same reason hence the reason why we have lots of empty seats at home games. Football is not the be all and end all to everyone.
Wonderfully put
