Ridiculous again today. Between the online stupid message and the answering machine after ringing for a minute (when you don't get the engaged tone), I've a pain in my hole with it. The fact that there is zero queuing system online or on the phone, and it is just pot luck is crazy.

I think i got lucky a while ago, the whole site went down, 503 gateway error or some ****e, i pressed refresh a couple of times and the site must have kicked back in while i was refreshing. I managed to get two together for the derby and singles in the kop for chelsea and arsenal, it would drive you ****en mad though when you constantly get the same page. Its all about luck who gets the tickets these days.

Lucky fecker. No such jamminess here. I'm looking for 2 for Chelsea, and 1 for Arsenal from today's sale.

No you haven't. You been randomly not getting through, same as me. Seems to be absolutely no queuing system as some are reporting getting through first time despite others trying for ages.

Limited availability for Arsenal/Spurs/Chelsea now, and it was 2 of those 3 that I wanted as I can't go to Villa or Fulham and don't have the credits for Everton.

Shambles. Will have to wait for the pot luck of returns I guess, and I have no idea when they come up on the site, but it'll be way closer to the time and not advertised most likely.

Shambles of a system.

5starpool · 10-11-2011 11:39AM

Eventually. Only restricted view tickets for Chelsea left though. Got Arsenal in Upper Anny Road.

Still waiting, Fúck sake. Least you got a ticket. Not a huge fan of Annie Road but beggers cant be choosers for a big match

Arsenal and Chelsea sold out now apparently. Looks like it's the lottery of finding something on the returns sale closer to the date if you want to get over. Ridiculous system really, but since the club always sell out, and get loads of members who they charge for the privilege, they aren't going to change it until such time as there is a new stadium or more seats in a redeveloped Anfield.

Was hoping for a Chelsea or Arsenal. Ah well.

Next stop Stoke.

Phoenix Park · 10-11-2011 12:16PM

Just how limited is "limited availablity" does anyone know? (it doesn't necessarily mean restricted view i take it). If you have not been to 13 games the previous season is it almost impossible to get a ticket for one of the bigger (Arsenal, Chelsea, Utd) games if you are just a regular member without those 13 games?. As a regular member you can scrape a ticket for Fulham, but its hard to get your foot in the door for the big games if you do not have access to 13 in the first place!
Most times i'm over i'm relying on friends getting tickets which is a pain, wonder where my name is on the updated season ticket waiting list that should be out in a week or two

copacetic · 10-11-2011 01:08PM

Limited availability basically means very few if any seats left in groups of 2 or more.

spockety · 10-11-2011 01:52PM

Kenny going nuts about the Man City and Chelsea fixtures being 48 hours apart.

"The one thing I will say to our fans is to think carefully before buying tickets for the League Cup game because we do not want them spending their money and then we decide there is no other option but to use only young players in the tie."

Wow.

As with all things in football these days I take this stuff with a pinch of salt but still nice to see the quotes.

Suarez :

“I’ve just started a phase of my career which I always dreamed about and wanted to do, which is to play for Liverpool,” he said.

“I have five years left on my contract and I think beyond that, I’m already thinking about staying many more years at Liverpool.

Read that and like yourself had a gallon of salt at hand .

Just hope the hating numptys drop their campaign as there has been a really nasty eye thrown on Suarez since he came to the EPL , more than I can remember any other player receiving .

The fella is class and his work ethic and attitude is amazing and the sort of shiite you can't teach .

Hope he sees out his career at LFC and makes captain sooner than later.

He's got a pretty big queue ahead of him once Gerrard goes.

Pepe, Lucas, Kelly are next on the list I reckon, and in that order. The way Hendo plays, you can tell he is a real leader on the pitch, captain of England u21's swell.

I am indeed.

He is still only a kid you know and we are talking about 4 years time roughly when the armband is passed to the first 3 I mentioned, and another few years after that.

The West Brom game is where I saw it in him, could be heard quite clearly ordering players around...etc

So how much wages do you think David Villa would command?

Well the problem with this question is that teams like city have skewed things here quite a bit. I'm sure he is probably on close to 200k a week at Barca, I hae no figured at hand to quote but that's my guess. Who knows, if Villa really wants out of Barca so he can challenge himself again somewhere else or play in his favoured position up front he may take a pay cut to move somewhere. All the signs point to this being highly unlikely but I just wanna quell the talk of not signing someone like him because of wages and no resale value. We cannot only sign players with low wages and high potential resale value.

In fact if you look at the revolutions of both chelsea and city when they came upon money they both took a fairly simliar approach to it. Buying as much young english talent as they could (Chelsea purchased a young J. Cole and G. Johnson amongst others and city got the likes of Lescott, milner etc) with a few international stars also, as good as they could get at the time. After this initial phase of buying up everyone they could with their previous 'reputation' they began purchasing the best of the best in there next phase, hoovering up as many highly rated players as they can with little or no thought put into formations or tactics. As this next phase happened some of the signings from the initial phase proved not good enough for a team challenging at the top at moved on. Leaving a squad more than capable of challenging for honours.

The reason i bring up these two revolutions is because I believe we have completed a similar phase one to both these teams(obviously hampered by the massive amount of competition for signings compared to the other two teams revolutions). The question on my mind is, is there a serious phase two for us (signings players like Hazard, Jovetic, Hummels etc.) or are we gonna have to make do with the signings already made? If it is the former for us I wouldn't be too worried, if it is the latter I worry gravely.

I don't think you can look at what Chelsea and City have done and apply it in any way, shape or form, to what Liverpool are going to do.

City(not so much Chelsea anymore) are playing a different game altogether compared to the rest of us.

I understand that but my point is that we have a strategy, of that I am in no doubt. However, what the strategy is is the real question. Have we seen the full fruition of out transfer policy already? Or will we continue to invest in the playing squad significantly? If the former is true we could be in for an awful long wait to challenge for anything again. The title challenge is 08/09 when we finished 4 points behind utd was the only real title challenge I have experience in my lifetime and I hope I don't have to wait another lifetime till the next one. The way the game has gone unfortunately it looks like we may have to invest further heavily to challenge anytime soon.
