I've logged out and back in but still no sign of the ticket.

However the ticket office have replied to my email impressively quickly saying they will distribute tickets in due course.

I think we are trying to embody the culture of our new partners, Guinness

I had to do the log out & log in thing as well.

I can now see a ticket for the NUFC game.

However, I'm a ST holder, so I don't know why I've been sent a stand-alone ticket rather than a digital ST.

Are they not coming as an email to download as before? If not, how do I find the ones I buy for me and my family?

I’ve now got a ticket in my app but it’s not in my name (it’s in the name of a person I don’t know) and for a different section of the stadium to what I purchased — very strange. Suspect I will have to call the ticket office tomorrow.

Apparently not - you are just a paying customer, do you really think your interests are at the top of the list? - how quaint.

Who will Ramsey be up for? If he must go can we swap him for Isak?
Really? - his conduct has done him no credit whatsoever in my opinion.

Surprised to see that Watkins has more Goal involvements against Newcastle than any other player during the Premier League era.

I think in the last 19 meetings between us there's only been 1 away win. We don't win up there, they don't tend to win down here.

I think Mings will “sit it out” because we’ll want to play our best team first up.

If you want a better a defensive/solid  defence then it would be mings over pau. But we all know pau will start despite the fact that he is not great at defending

He's a centre-back who took his team to the Champions League semi-finals and his next team to fourth in the Premier League.

He's hardly Titus Bramble.

I’m happy with Unai continuing to play who he sees as our best players.

Does that mean he has

A) shown that for us

B) mean he is titus bramble?

He isnt as good as mings defensively thats plain to see

A) Erm, yes. We were that team he got to 4th but true, only got us to the quarter finals of the Champions League.
B) …

Which of Disasi's performances at centre-half was it that persuaded people he was rubbish? I must have missed it. Always looked pretty solid there, to me.
