Went into the kitchen to feed the cats and my back itched so I ingeniously took down a large metal serving spoon to scratch it. Luckily, from a hygiene point of view, I was too drunk to hang it up again.

it says nothing (now) about people with tickets from the original date, just talks about if you want to buy them now.
I'm sure it said at the time of the postponement that they'd be valid for the re-arranged fixture but I don't know if in the meantime I've missed a "contact the club to receive your replacement ticket with the new date on" announcement.

And the usual rumours of 'aways fans in the home sections' that are generally rubbish turned out to be true.

Regarding the manager, I've stopped thinking "why sack Di Matteo? We haven't been in the drop zone since the first week of the season, we've never managed that before" and started thinking "lost 13 out of 18 games, no sign of the defence improving, time for a change". And if you're going to change it, might as well go for Manager of the Year, eh?
