How do you get the tickets - you are not a season ticket holder I don't think.

Is it a friend of a friend of a friend type scenario ?

No its a friend with a e-season ticket thing on the official site which lets you order tickets online and because I have been to all the other home CL matches including the qualifier this season I now get priority.

Same with the Carling Cup, if you go to earlier rounds you get priority and its easy to get tickets. Getting tickets for league matches is much harder though.

For example to get tickets to the Man United match earlier this season you had to have been to Norwich and Birmingham matches and anotehr one as well I think. They dont tell you which matches you have to go to first though so you have to either go to most of them..or be lucky!

However its also easy to pick up the tickets from forums on the internet and just pay face-value for them even on the day of the game for most matches. A friend asked on a forum for a ticket the night before the Man United match and got a phonecall from someone who had one for him the morning of the match!

I am looking forward to the Milan Derby

It'll be funny if one of the 2 teams goes through on Away Goals,seeing that they both play in the same stadium!

The Liverpool Juventus match will remind people of the Heysel disaster 20 years ago.

I'm not sure who I want to win in the Chelsea Bayern match,as I like both the teams!

 

[m_vaughan]

Chelsea to beat Bayern
Juve to thrash Liverpool
Lyon to smash PSV
AC Milan to edge out Inter

 

[Ste]

Juve to thrash Liverpool

Even with a manager who can do magic?

 

[themuel1]

Now thats cool!!!

What did everyone think of Englands performance on saturday and yesterday?

 

[gold639]

England were excellent in the 2 matches

And the Azerbaijan manager said that Lampard's better than Gerrard

Pity Gerrard scored against them

The match against Northern Island was terrific,especially with Lampard and Cole scoring

Chelsea face Southampton tomorrow...I hope its a draw,as I dont want Southampton relegated.

Why is no one but me interested in the fact that Shearer is becoming a player coach next season.

 

[themuel1]

I guess only Newcastle fans are really affected. I think though it is great that Shearer wants to become a coach as I think he will be an excellent one.

 

[straw]

What an absoloute disgrace bowyer and dyer are. I'm a newcastle fan but i'd ban them till the end of the season. Although Barry Knight apparently was just as bad.

 

[Skater]

Newcastle play Norwich this month at Carrow Road- whos gonna win ?

No prizes for the winner! (Comments about this from me or Straw or not welcome )
