Am I correct in thinking season ticket holders can opt out and get a refund for this season? Season ticket holders should get first dibs. They’ve made a financial commitment to the club previously and should be treated as first in line. How many season ticket holders? I’m presuming many times over 14,000? They should do a draw amongst season ticket holders for say the first 2 home games. Pick 14,000 out of a hat. Then the same for the next 2. Those drawn have the option to purchase by a certain date or their ticket gets re-allocated to another season ticket holder. Anyone who got lucky twice is then excluded from the draw for the 3rd set of two games. Giving those who missed out a chance of a ticket. Then the final set of 2 games are drawn from those who have been unlucky the previous 3 sets of 2 games. Once a payment window date has passed any un-bought tickets then go on general sale. This would be unlikely right? There are going to be unhappy people no matter how it works.

I can't imagine groups of English soccer fans being heckled and it going down well ? It was estimated there were 80,000 Englishmen in Frankfurt for the first game. I loved every second of it. We were there for just under 2 weeks. The games we got to: England v Paraguay - Frankfurt England v Trinidad - Nuremberg England v Sweden - Cologne Switzerland v Togo - Dortmund USA v Czech Republic - Gelsenkirchen We didn't get as far south as you did with Munich. We got the ferry from England to Rotterdam in Holland then a bus to Amsterdam. Booked into a hotel there for a couple of weeks then every time we wanted to go to a game we'd jump on a train to Germany and back. A couple of the return trips were sleeper trains so we were able to take advantage of the excellent German beer and sleep it off on the way back to Amsterdam. We sat amongst the American fans in Gelsenkirchen and had a really good time with them. Do you go to many soccer games?

I was at the 2006 World Cup too. One of the games I got to see was USA v Czech Republic. We paid over the odds from a tout (scalper) but wanted to see as many games as possible. I got the ticket which previously belonged to a Dr Sarah Geisler.

I'd have more than settled for $17m he was already worth. How much is enough?

A fair number choosing Paul McCartney. There's no need to invite him, he'd just turn up anyway. He's regarded as something of a dog's johnson over here.

It was on the front page of the BBC Sport website a few days ago. There for all the world to see!

If every female attendee of nudist beaches looked like that they'd be a more popular place.

I reckon the judge might go hard on him.

This reminds me of a time when I'd just turned 18 and was sat having a pint in my local pub. One of the old lads came and sat next to me and we were having a good chin wag about, I suspect, nothing in particular. Then in walked two of my friends who, at the time, were never seen apart. Always worked and socialised together. One of the friends was called Colin (horrendous name) and the other Craig. As often happens in British pubs conversation quickly turns to folk taking the urine out of each other. In this instance the topic of conversation was how Colin and Craig were always together. Eventually, it went quiet but the old boy (in his 70s at least) took this has his big opportunity. He stood up, went to the bar looked at Craig and said "what do you do Craig when he's not with you? Have you got a blow up Col?". Perfect comical timing.

Me too. If we ever win a championship with Allen as QB I'm getting that tattooed on my body.

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure ?

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses 1. I Wanna Be Adored 2. She Bangs The Drum The album starts with those two. It also ends with: I Am The Resurrection Fools Gold What an album. It had more of an impact on my music choices than any other.

Yep, I wouldn't be pulling the trigger on the trade until we know what we have with Allen for sure. Ask again this time next year. We'll have a better idea.

It would be interesting what the comments would be should Dallas let Prescott walk and he carries on waltzing all the way to Foxborough. I suspect all of a sudden there would be some soiling of the undergarments.

Decent film then Family Guy did the "***** boob" scene and ruined it.

I must admit I got emotional. It might sound daft but finally getting to go to a place you've wanted to go to for 30 years got to me. Walking up the steps and finally seeing the field and stands produced a feeling I wish I could have bottled and taken back home. When the game had finished I didn't want to leave. I stood looking around for what seemed like hours but was just a few minutes.

Yep, week 4 versus Patriots last season. Plus the game at Wembley against Jaguars which was like a home game. Sadly, 2 losses. I'll stay away from now on. I won't.

When you say "50-60" is it the even numbers in between because if it's an odd number you're either not the man you're making yourself out to be, have been surprising women with your groping or been getting a bit since your accident? Cheers.

Finally get to play golf for the first time this year later. With my brother too who I've not seen since March despite us living under 2 miles apart.

We were due to go to Majorca on 1st August. It was touch and go whether we'd be able to travel and/or have restrictions on what we can do when we get there and possible quarantine on our return to the UK. To remove any of the worry we took the travel companies offer of being able to amend our holiday without a charge. So we re-booked for July next year but managed to get an extra day, private airport transfers and extra baggage allowance for the same price of the original holiday. We felt doing this would take away any worry of anxieties we have about going away this summer. Our 9 year old took the news remarkably well ?

Not personally and all the pubs are shut so the Tad lager isn’t going anywhere at the moment!

You assume correctly. Although I’ve not seen either of the Sunderland series on Netflix. As already mentioned, the North East of England is very similar to Buffalo. Hardworking, non-flashy folk who are extremely passionate and defensive about their teams. Interestingly, Sunderland also had a great old stadium which was slowly becoming too dated for the direction soccer was going in this country in the 90’s. They opened a new stadium in the late 90’s and had some initial and relative success. They never won a major trophy despite finishing well into the top 10 of the Premier League. Honestly, if you think rivalries in the US are mad the rivalry between Sunderland and Newcastle is berserk. It’s pure hatred. Neither team have ever been that successful which is a testament to the attendances both teams are still getting. Either North-East team is a great comparison to the Bills.

I jumped ahead and just watched the game via "game in 40". I'm standing by my original comment. We never looked like winning this game. The D deserved so much better than what the O offered up. The first quarter was an abomination. We were never closer than 4 points other than at kick off. The refs got us out of jail on more than a few occasions and there must have been at least 10 offensive plays for negative yards.
