Now that Kevin Miralles has been ruled for a while, perhaps our beloved manager should reconsider whether Landon Donavon is worth another shot. This would certainly nulify the loss of Kev.

What do you think Ed? {Ed025's Note - i would love him to come...but it seems unlikely at the moment..

Don't give up hope Ed... if he's not thinking of doing another season in the MLS then we might just see him one last time.

I agree with the 2nd post, it seems he's contemplating a sabbatical but surely it must cross his mind that he'll have plenty of time for reflection and soul searching when his career is over. He probably doesn't need the money, but I feel he'll come to realise that if he called it a day now that he'll regret it later on

A south american woman has accused Liverpool comedian Ken Dodd of being the father of her child.
Mr Dodd is strenuously denying the allegation but the woman, Mrs Suarez from Salto in Uruguay, is adamant that he is the father of her son Luis, 25 years old. 1eyeblue

Boring, that wasn't even fuuny when i first heard it 3 weeks ago.

What has Ken Dodd ever done to you!

Now then...I love are old ground to bits but I feel I got mugged of at the recent spurs game,I purchased 2 match day tickets well in advance,lower street end gets to my seat there's a bloody post 2 foot away from my face,and there was nothing on the ticket saying restricted view and the guy who served me never mentioned it,...the point is there was 4 thousand empty seats so I thought they gave me them sears in error,and I swear I missed a lot of the game swerving from left to right to get a view around the post,so on the Monday I went to the main office on goodisson road to complain,..which I hate doing but I was bloody angry,and the say no we don't have state it's a restricted view if you can see both goals,and in the case when the view to one of the goals is obscured we offer,,,,wait for it ...1 pound off.now for me going the match is a treat coz I can't afford to go all the games,2 tickets cost me 64 pound so it would have been nice to have view of the pitch,..and how come the Wigan game the cheapest ticket starts at 34 pound I can't work that one out,I think we need to look towards Germany safe standing and 12 pound tickets,ordinary fans like me can't afford to attend all home games and I no plenty of fans in the Same boat any way rant over,....c.o.y.b

I was also really annoyed (put in a slightly nice way there) with the Club. On Monday 3rd Dec. the tickets for West Ham away went on general sale, so I thought I'd get one. They stated that they go on sale at 8am. 8am arrives and I go to buy online, but when I click the specific match I get greeted with the message saying I need to be a Season Ticket holder in order to buy one - I thought OK as it was still 8am so they can't update it to-the-second. 8.30am and the message I get is the same. That annoyed me as they state it will be on general sale at 8am and it still hadn't updated. 8.40am and guess what... the same message again. I am 15 so I had to go to school, so my mum rang up the box office after she had taken my little bro' to school. I saw at dinner time that the tickets had sold out, so I wondered if she managed to get one. I get home and she gives me the news I didn't want. They had sold out at about 8:45am. I thought I'd do it online because it would be quicker, however the people who are supposed to update the online ticket pages, didn't.

My point is: why state that they go on sale at 8am and that you can buy them online if, at the time they go on sale (and in my case over 40 minutes after that time), they haven't updated it. It's useless having that purchasing function if it isn't managed properly. The thing that annoyed me most is that when my mum rang up they had sold out, meaning I wasted 40+ minutes waiting for the page to update when I could have just phoned the ticket office at 8am.

If you have the function (and in this case they tell say use it), then make sure it works!

There, that's my rant over.

I had the same problem a few years ago when me and my daughter came up from Watford, I also complained and got the same answer about being able to see both goals. A trip to Goodison for me cost around £100 so I was not best pleased. When I come up for a game now I sit in Park stand to be sure of a decent view.
