If it raises the clubs profile for the right reasons then I'm OK with it. To get to where we want, I can't see us doing it without becoming a worldwide brand and this is part of it.

Wonder how many get that

I can see the reasoning and I'd like us to get another forward as in some games it could well be an idea to have Isak dropping that bit deeper with someone ahead of him. FWIW I think we'll become a lot more fluid this season once Tonali is bedded in.

When someone starts getting hyped you take a bit more interest in them when they're playing.

He said out, not up. Bigger concourses for better hospitality etc a la Atlanta.

I might've watched the wrong Brighton games but he wasn't great in any of the other games I saw.

Nope, definitely Miggy.

I would be shocked if there's no extension or new build. I doubt a fanzone for maybe a thousand or so (which they'll have regardless of aswell as an extension or new ground) is going to take the place of maybe 8,000 extra inside the ground in the eyes of the club.

Really hope we have some chants ready for Klopp taking the piss out of his hypocrisy.

There's also the possibility of building back from the Leazes to allow more corporate stuff. Also, Grade 1 listed status (Leazes Terrace) does not stop any alterations or even demolition.

Don't see it. The fan zone at St James' will be temporary. The discussion going on will be to expand or build anew. Gallowgate expansion would lead to a new fanzone, don't rule out Leazes Terrace or the Barker and Stonehouse building.

And if we step in ?

Oh here we go. Nice foreigner going native as the game gets close.

The Brentford away game first half was similar and they could've been out of sight. We scored earlyish on and that changed it.

I'd say they are sick of the opposition cheating etc. It's OK when their team does it.

Call it something else or don't call it anything but its a fact. Look at how they are tret (treated). FWIW I think someone's missing a trick not doing a podcast that gives equal time to each game. I'm far more likely to listen to a preview of 10mins for each game as opposed to 30mins on Chelsea v Liverpool while Palace v Wolves only gets a mention if its on live and they're desperate to drum up viewing figures.

He's on Totalsport (BBC Radio Newcastle) tonight as it 'appens.

I sometimes feel a little sorry for them. Whenever we are shit they just can't pull away and we come back stronger and they go the other way and hit new depths.

Oh well, keep watching, there's another one, at least, one, coming up

There's also a question of mic placement and sound production etc. I 've been to games with shit atmospheres that have sounded decent on TV and games with great atmospheres which have sounded flat on tv.

I'd expect us to be at full strength or near to for our group games. I dont think we would need that to play Austria Vienna or Rosenborg.

How do you know the singing comes from all 4 sides of the ground ?

Is that the "men against boys.......weak as piss" one ?

Dunno like. I remember Man Utd getting years of easy draws, usually at home to the likes of Dexys Midnight Runners.

Did you not see Premier passions ? Edit....as LFEE said.
