No not yet but my son went in there on the first game of the season and said it was good. It's at the opposite end of the pitch to the area where the singers usually "sit" (they all stand anyway) so it's resulted in there now being two pockets of singers which creates a better atmosphere. I would give it a go there but we have a season ticket in the stand.

Shrewsbury Town have already installed it and it's proving popular with the fans so far. I'm pretty sure they were still going to go ahead with it if they'd won promotion to the Championship this season but I may be wrong.

Yes. For the PL you won't get two tickets at all without two memberships let alone together. They nearly always sell out to members in the first phase, especially for PL. You might be able to for Europa League or FA or League Cup but if you need them to be together you'd have to wait for the to go on general sale. You might be able to ask someone here to lend you a membership to add to you Friends and Families to use - they benefit from the points too so there's an advantage to them. You might be able to get two tickets together on exchange but I've not really used it so I'm not sure.

I noticed today that my work pass expired in January.

I like Willian. I know he can be frustrating but there is always that small chance he will pull something magical from the bag. And he seems like a nice guy (except that nonsense after the FA cup - he lost respect there). On the other hand I wouldn't be devastated if he left. Unless it was to Manure. We should never sell anyone to them. Or any other top 6 side. But especially Manure. Or Liverpool.

I loved the man but he wasn't the same mark 2. And now? Even worse. He's a bit of a basket case really isn't he?

I love a bit of optimism and I am totally on board with this point of view. Well, what have I got to lose?

Wow! Good stat!

You obviously didn't see Neymar earlier today then!

Isn't Eden captain? Oops - cross posted.

Yep all the way through I was sure they were going to win. But then I'm usually pessimistic.

my son said exactly the same thing. So, must be true.

You absolutely have my attitude to these competitions @Valerie . Let's focus on the important things!

I give you my guide to who to support in any game in the World Cup (stolen from my Facebook post during the 2016 Euros, hence the reference to Eudur): Scoring system for "who should I support in this match?"a) Did they sing their anthem better than the opposition? +2 ptsb) Is their anthem better than the opposition's? +2 pts c) Deduct 1 point for each sh*t haircut or 3 for a particularly awful one d) Ditto tattoos e)Is Ronaldo in the team? -50 points f) Any Chelsea players? Add 2 pts each g) Any ex-Chelsea player who you still like? Add a point h) But if it's Eidur Gudjohnsen, add 10 points i) Ditto Juan Mata j) -5 points for each example of over-acting. k) Is it Russia? - 50 points Feel free to add your own items of personal importance.

If you want to tell me the details, I'll happily do it on your behalf @yorkleyblue

It's funny because I often have two conflicting views/feelings before a game. One is what my head logically tells me is likely to happen and the other is a gut feeling. Often my gut feeling is anxiety (my default mood when it comes to Chelsea) even when my head tells me we should be clear favourites. But on Saturday, whilst almost everyone thought Manure were clear favourites, my gut feeling disagreed. I did acknowledge that we could easily lose. But I also thought that they weren't great, were short of ideas, were turgid and although they finished three places above us, weren't any better really. At worst I thought it was 50/50 which way it would go. Even though my head (and other people) were saying otherwise, I really thought we had more than a decent chance. And I thought all along that the most likely score was 1-0 - well, both of us are pretty defensive and I couldn't see it being an entertaining goal-fest. I just wish I'd had a bet on it!

Ah it's like old times Davey - I can't be arsed to articulate what I feel but come on here to find you've done it for me. Always goddess to get a trophy. And beat Manure. And beat Jose. Sweet.

Yeeessss! Shrewsbury beat Charlton in the first (away) leg of the play off semi! Come on you Shrews smash them at the Meadow!

I'm frustrated too but calling our players c**ts is not on.

Do fouls on Willian not count at all?

We started the half so badly . No life. No spark. COME ON CHELSEA - GET THE TWO GOALS WE NEED.

sh*tting fuc king hell! how was that not a foul on Will?

Seems very quiet from our fans so far?

And now winning a header!

He deserved something from that!
