Enjoyed that again, lads. I think the show has been really decent of late. Cheers for the effort you all put in.

Good podcast. Bit too much negativity for my liking but good nonetheless.

Regarding the attendance for the Vålerenga game, it was very low because of the reprehensible ticket prices. Norwegians may be well off at the moment unlike the rest of Europe but paying fees some of twice the cost of a ticket at Anfield to see a friendly is just not gonna happen. The same happened when they met Barcelona on July 27th, although there were a few thousand more tickets sold.

Twice the cost of Anfield? Ridiculous that, especially as so many Norwegians come over for home games anyway, you're just not going to pay that kind of money to watch a friendly when you're used to the real thing.

 

Maybe that will fly in Australia and Malaysia, but no way are the Norwegians going to have that. Out of curiosity, what were the prices for the Dublin game?

Loved the fact that you didn't bother to edit the awkward silence and Daves hint to Paul to start talking when Numbers asked a question about Aspas

[dave u]

He was supposed to edit that bit out!

I tweeted about the exact same thing. Glad it wasn't just me that enjoyed that, or else I was worrying that I was starting to turn into some sort of super-fan! :-)

[Stu Monty]

Sloppy. Wouldn't happen on my watch.

I went two years ago because my mate had won two tickets from some betting site.

 

No way I was going to bother with 6-7 hours each way in the car or £150 flight tickets and on top of that pay between £75-80 for a ticket to watch our reserves in between the Olympiacos and Celtic game when I'm over for Stoke and the mancs a couple of weeks later.

 

Usually the matches in Norway have been the same week as Norway Cup as well, when there are thousands of youth footballers alongside a lot of parents in the city to help increase the attendence.

 

This time around it was the week after.

Deffo Numbers - he was talking to Dave and asked what sounded like a follow up question without mentioning my name (the signal to switch speaker). So I was right, Numbers was wrong and Usher badly tried to blame me. I think we can all agree that only one of us emerged from the, what I like to call, "minute 7 debacle" with their dignity intact.

Blame shifting. Typical teacher. I bet you blame the kids when you fuck up in class too.

I never fuck up in class. They just listen incorrectly....
