And it's sold out. If free things can sell out.

Man City return 900 odd tickets for the weekend game.

12 quid more than it cost to go to the Etihad for us.

Considering we're in London and they're in Manchester that seems about right.
Evidently not enough plastics, to take up the slack.

Dreaming of Binkie.or whaever their names are.

typical.

Thanks Clive.

You can read any paper or look on the BBC website or whereever and find just about any player connected with any club. Journos have to speculate to fill column inches. Mainly it is speculation; occasionally it is informed speculation.

It is generally best to ascertain who is the most informed of the speculators and follow what they say. I did this by following the tweets of that Spanish chap Guilliam whatsit. He told us that Chelsea were not talking to TFSW and he usually has the inside gen on Spanish players and managers. Later that day he was the man who broke the news that TFSW had joined Chelsea.

More often, knowing people with an ear inside the club itself helps.

Journos are correct of transfer speculation around 10% of the time, if that.

I wouldn't be interested in Belhanda, they've signed Holtby and have Bale, Sigurdsson and Lennon. He seems like a bit of a flash in the pan to me.

If only someone had shown an infographic about this. Or had pointed this out last year.

Well that was fun, but it 's a bit cruel of us - building up Bradford's hopes just so we can dash them down in a couple of weeks.

Quoted. For reference.

Let's hope so. Away goals don't count for double in the League Cup. Need to score three without response or you fall into the Arsenal trap.

One can absorb information by osmosis.

There's a blizzard event on in a week. I can't make it. Check the website. It's free. There's free food. And free booze.

And loads of guardian writer types.

If that doesn't get cornie's attention....

who'd have thought it, a free event with free beer selling out
what ever next

and free food

And guardian writers.

oh yes, the gruniad writers are the main draw

yes yes

What's the Arsenal trap?
Accepting fourth as your seasonal trophy?

Losing on penalties to Bradford.

We know all to well what it's like to lose on penalties against lower league teams.

Just getting to penalties is a good result for us.

If you look at Liverpools penalty record in competitions you will find it is outstanding. Especially in finals

Mike, if we are ever going too fast for you, just let us all know and we will slow down.

Much transfer speculation associated with the so-called big clubs is generated by agents, who assume that if they can plant some stories about Wenger/Abramovich/Fergie/Mancini, then they can drive up the price & wages of their player, thereby increasing their cut (depending on what sort of a deal they are on).
