  1. This is fucking incredible, sorry about swearing!
  2. I still cant believe Cousin, why would you do that, what on earth... He is gonna get slaughtered by the rest if anything happens in a bad way....
  3. Possibly a good idea! I personally would like to see anyone who has applied through the ballot process state the team they follow, then the ballot can be made when the finalists are known. Then randomly UEFA could select 5k from each "pot" of fans for each team. At least this way "real" fans would get to see their team without having to pay 10x the face value of a ticket. This will never happen though as UEFA like "ordinary, impartial" spectators to go and watch the final which is a bit ludicrous as even though I support Spurs (Rangers are my Scottish team before you ask!) and follow football excessively I would never go watch "Arsenal Vs [insert any team] play. Saying all this, I wish I had got a couple of Champions League Final tickets from the ballot.....lol
  4. Not sure I mentioned it in this thread of somewhere else about something else but I paid £700 off a tout for a ticket to the Carling Cup Final. Whilst I dont condone it and certainly wouldnt encourage it, it is part and parcel of the game. Without them I wouldnt have got a ticket to the game, end of story. I was just under the required number of loyalty points required to receive a ticket (due to the fact I live 125 miles from White Hart Lane). Should (or when, or hopefully) Rangers progress to the final tonight, I dread to think of the value of the tickets on the black market. If you compare the £700 I paid for a domestic cup final then in the scheme of things I would estimate it will certainly be higher. And its fair to say, whatever you think of touts and so on, even if you dont pay the price, someone, somewhere will. As I read earlier there is also the consideration that apart from beer money and a hotel (possibly) for the night there really are no further outgoings (e.g flights, visas and so forth). I guess due to Rangers domestic success that a Cup Final ticket for the Scottish Cup and so forth wouldnt command such a high price but just add to the fact that this is the 2nd best trophy in European football and the whole pricing structure defies logic. Ultimately, for me to see Spurs beat Chel$ki in the final was well worth the money I paid and I would do it again and again and again (if I could guarantee the same result!!). Sometimes it just the price we have to pay to follow our teams all over the place. For instance when I went to Seville Vs Spurs in the UEFA Cup last year, it cost me around £850.00 all in for fllights, hotel, transfers, beer, taxis and so on and it wasnt even a final! Well thats enough of my spiel, just wanted to make my point and finally GOOD LUCK THIS EVENING
  5. Thanks guys, sorry for posting in the wrong place!! I thought opinion would be divided but not sure which would come out on top. I thought as we had Chimbonda we maybe didnt need him but from what I have seen he certainly beats Chimbonda hands down for tactical and positional awareness. Also he can actually defend as well unlike the forementioned!! Thanks also for the kind words re the Carling Cup, nice to win a trophy regardless of however meaningless other clubs may think it is - hell of a day out!! Even if it did cost around £1k for my ticket, train, beer, hotel, beer, beer and more beer - i am sure your trip to Manchester will cost you the same!! Good luck......
  6. Hi All, New to your site, in fact I am a Spurs fan. With that in mind I was curious to your views on who you think got the best deal in the Hutton deal? Or do you think £9m was just too good to turn down? I think he has done really well so far considering the short time he was been here, its almost like he hasnt needed a transitional period and has bedded straight in. Just interested to hear thoughts from your side? Cheers Chris PS - Congratulations on last nights victory, was superb to watch PSS - If Rangers make it to the final, my Spurs UEFA Cup Final tickets arent much good to me (if you know what I mean)
