Wall of Mouths

Ah well, that is football nowadays! Fucking bubbly drinkers… never mind though, the new Wembley looks like a shithole anyway :p

£700m and they come up with this? The FA really needs sorting out on all fronts.

I thought taunting each other and hurling abuse was part and parcel of the game? Well, maybe it’s not PC enough as there are more kids and women and the above mentioned brigade in the stadia these days?

Bring back terracing and proper firms :D

And yeah, good luck for the game!!

I really don’t think Saints fans would have run on the pich at the end if it had been the other way round at St Marys. Just left a bad taste mouth to see loads of Derby lobbing up the V’s and wanker signs towards us after losing on penalties. Burley got pushed around a bit as well when he tried to clap our magnificent support. 5,000 on a Tuesday night, better than the 3,900 you took to ours on a Saturday. You gave 1,100 tickets back. Do you think you will sell out Wembley? Love you to stop down and us to put one over you BIG time next season and put those pitch invaders in their place. Jobs only half done Nobskunks.

WBA have allowed every season ticket holder TWO tickets, which is a controversial move, as by definition it means for every season ticket holder there will be someone who isn’t a season ticket holder who gets a ticket in the first batch.

Jeez that’s a pretty bad decision. I heard that there are 14,000 WBA season ticket holders, so that defiantly sucks. We have 20,000 season ticket holders here so glad they never did that here.

The worst decision Derby made was to give ‘next’ seasons ticket holders a day before general sale to get a ticket. I was talking to a friend yesterday who said that there workmate brought a season ticket just so they could utilise this, and was actually trying to get rid of their season ticket cos they didn’t actually want it…That made me feel sick!

At the end of the day no one knows, I reckon you would of personally. The only reason suggesting that you guys wouldn’t of is because you probably don’t understand the play-offs like we do. It was your first time so you don’t know what its like to lose 3 times like us, maybe next year if your in the play-offs and win the semi’s, you will run on the pitch and celebrate because you would have felt the pain of losing out like we have in the past.

I reckon I speak for a lot of Derby fans here in saying that I think this were a disgrace. When Burley was in charge of Derby we had a board from hell, and I have a lot of respect for him because I don’t think many managers could of got Derby in the play-offs that season. Shame he left really but I think Billy Davies has done an equally if not better job.

Think we have just about sold out now, luckily Derby released another 700 tickets this afternoon and I managed to get one yes!!!.. Considering the distance between Southampton and Derby I’m sure you will agree that these are pretty amazing figures for both teams, 5,000 Saints fans coming up to PP on a Tuesday tells me the Saints isn’t small time, well done.

At the end of the day mate, Derby has enough rivals, Forest of course and Leicester. And then maybe Leeds and Sheff Utd. does there really need to be another one, especially with a team so far away? The only reason I’ll be looking forward to playing Southampton next season (unlikely though cos were going up!!) is because from the evidence of the play-off matches they will be one of the strongest teams in the division next year..Look a nice Derby fan, can you believe it?

Chump I think you and some of the other fans should more like zipless and understand that it’s over and that Derby have some fans who are tw-ts just like everywhere else who are bound to of done what they did. There actually was trouble in the queuing for tickets on Sunday morning at Pride Park, fights breaking out through drunken chavs trying to jump the queue. Sad really.

p.s. It was quite funny hearing Idiakez getting booed when he came on. I went to the QPR match the other month and he got a good reception from the Derby fans then. Fans can be so fickle )

It is going to be tricky for the Pool and I find this one too close to call.

I guess the only thing one can say is that everyone had the Pool written off in 2005 as well - will lightning strike twice? I hope so :D

Have you seen the new hoops yet Chris? I think they look class - hope they wear ‘em on Saturday

It’s just nonsense isn’t it? I reckon that West Brom alone could sell all of 0those tickets, the demand is that high, so why on earth would the FA and Wembley allow those seats to remain empty?! It just shows yet again how we couldn’t organise a p*ss-up in a brewery in this country.

GIGGS HANGS UP HIS SICKNOTE

The Fiver doesn’t care what you’re doing, stop it. If you’re not standing, get up on your feet. Take the roof off for one of the great international careers. Because today Ryan Giggs announced that he will play his last game for Wales on Saturday. Never mind Terry Butcher’s blood-red headband or Franz Beckenbauer playing a World Cup semi-final with a broken collarbone; Giggs went the extra mile for his country, once even getting an accidental wedgie against Canada. So, in tribute, we decided to type ‘Ryan Giggs’, ‘Wales’ and ‘shameless sickie’ into our special Fiver Factathon Facilitator. After much whirring, a couple of hollow clunks and a disturbing rattling noise, here’s what it came up with:

1) During his 16 years as an international footballer, Giggs didn’t play a single friendly away from home.

2) He did once play against Brazil on neutral territory, though. At White Hart Lane. (And against a “Basque XI” too, if you’re being especially picky.)

3) Having made his debut in 1991, Giggs missed 18 friendlies in a row before deigning to appear in one against Finland in 2000.

4) He has missed 27% of Wales’s competitive games and 76% of their friendlies.

5) Retiring from a team who couldn’t qualify a minor observation, never mind for a major tournament, so as to concentrate on playing for the English champions wasn’t an easy decision: “I have loved playing for my country and I have loved captaining my country,” gushed Giggsy. “I think it’s the right time to do this. It wasn’t an easy decision for me.”

6) Since his debut Giggs has played 63 games out of a possible 12,000,004. “The number of games he has played for Wales doesn’t proportionally seem to fit,” said his manager John Toshack in 2004, before proudly unveiling his theory as to why Dolly Parton sleeps on her back.

7) Due to a series of unfortunate ailments, including 1,908 forms of hamstring knack, a malicious nosehair and a new season of The Apprentice, Giggs has missed glamour mid-season trips for friendlies in Norn Iron 1-0, Estonia, Qatar and Brazil. “You must question who arranged a game in Qatar involving an 18-hour trip with players having such a heavy playing schedule,” harrumphed Lord Ferg of the friendly in Qatar, a month after yanking his players out of the FA Cup and herding them on to a plane to Brazil.

8) Giggs has been genuinely injured every time he has missed a game. “Every time I missed a game for Wales it has been because of a genuine injury,” he said in 2001, inadvertently swallowing a fly in the process and ruling himself out of the next friendly.

9) Lord Ferg emphatically did not influence any of Giggs’s withdrawals.

10) Giggs’s frequent absences were in fact the Welsh public’s fault, as Lord Ferg revealed in 2000: “The Welsh public have a special player in Ryan Giggs and what they must realise is that he does have a hamstring problem that does need looking after.”

11) Every day, when Ryan Giggs wakes up, he thanks the Lord he’s Welsh

I think you are thinking of Ryan’s Gig Guide, mate…

And Darren Anderton still continues to play - now that’s true irony :rolleyes:

And why shouldn’t he - even though he played for England school boys, he ended up choosing his mother nationality. His choice.

Do I not like that…

:D

Hey guys, don’t forget to rush out and purchase your new Wolves away top, came out on Friday for those of you who haven’t snapped yours up yet.

:cool:

Saints v Lazio on July 28th could be interesting. Only a tenner as well.

Celtic v Spartak Moscow last night. What a game!! Nailbiting right to the end, but we got thru!!!

Wonder who we’ll get in the draw…
