It's not the pricing Bob, it's the opposition. If we had played Burnley how many would have turned up? In fact, maybe that's what we should do next year. If they don't turn up for Burnley, they wont turn up for anyone. Either that or play Celtic.

The groundsman at Old Trafford says the pitch is an absolute belter. The reports of it turning square on the first day are laughable. He reckons it should stay flat and even for the first three days and maybe take a little spin on the fourth day. From that it doesn't make sense to go with two spinners.

I'll go for the same scoreline as the last time I went there. 3 - 3

Big queues at Wigan for the away season ticket. If that's reflected in the sales for home games ------------

No, I'm referring to this: "Today, executive director Peter Lawwell reflected on the fact that, for just a little more than the £6m Newcastle asked for Bellamy, the Parkhead club have delivered no fewer than SEVEN players on manager Gordon Strachan's wish list." Where were they all last night?

Nice one, they deserve it.

Never mind. Maybe this guy still thinks it's more important to sell shirts and sign average players, than spend money on the likes of Bellamy. Can't wait to read his report today.

Dave Whelan said a few weeks ago, that he expected Wigan to average around 18000. I wonder how the away fans segregation works? If they have to give the away fans all of the stand behind the goals, then 18000 would be a good estimate.

and not very quick.

Sounds like you've got a closed mind on this one Flops.

Fair enough Flopsy, but if he didn't recognise them as policemen, how can anyone say he should have stopped? and no, I'm not blaming the police. Until all the evidence is put in front of an enquiry, then how can anyone apportion blame?

OK, just listening to ITV news, the police who confronted him were in casual, plain clothes. The Brazilian lad had been attacked a week before, at virtually the same place by a group of casually dressed white lads. That may answer a few questions about why he didn't stop, when ordered to.

I don't know the details of this, but were the police in uniform? If they weren't, could it be that the Brazilian lad was frightened by the fact that someone unknown, had pulled a gun on him?
