This I feel is part of the problem for today. I came into today thinking we would be fucking shit.

Our bench is fucking shit. Absolutely no squad depth at all.

I said the same against Bournemouth, you’ll get shot down for saying it.

Fucking sick of us playing shit against the fucking shit.

Willock is either well off it, or right on it. You never know what you are going to get until his 1st touch.

IF what he is saying is true, then it would still mean that we would need to find somewhere else to play, as SJP would have to be knocked down to complete the rebuild. If you aren’t encroaching on Leazes Park all that much, then that basically means we are building over the car park and that’s it.

He’s never been an Arsenal fan, he was a boyhood AIK fan, and he played for them before moving to Germany. He is said to be a fan of Henry, but he would have been 7 when he left Arsenal, so likely only had a very limited memory of him being at Arsenal.

Historically, playing in England as an Englishman results in a greater chance of being picked.

I very much doubt we’d have a bubble effect of cladding, the only bubble effect I think we could go for, is something like the Sage. The stadium like it or not is going to have things like restaurants and bars within it that are open on non match-days. This is going to require the stadium to have some sort of street level and possibly upper levels of openness/frontage. Blank wall/cladding isn’t going to work, and we’ll need this street level interaction for the day to day amenities to function. Let’s assume that we are locating it in Castle Leazes, or Leazes Park, are you really going to blank out a view to those parks from inside the stadium? Are you really going to cut off the building from the outside? If you are just strolling through the park and see a building with no activity, you’ll just ignore it. Open it up, some walls of glass with people drinking and having meals etc inside it, and you are tempted to go in. Even if we have the stadium on the arena site, the same rules apply for the riverside.

They are investing well, it remains to be seen if the players they are buying will be enough to win the MLS or just make them a decent side. They are buying Lath from Boro, and been linked with another who’s name escapes me.

Would anyone class the Sage as a bubble wrap like design? Something similar for a stadium could potentially be mind blowing.

Monday.

There is an image going round showing that they had more points after the first 10 games this season, than they do at the stage we are at this season.

They even went and put their content on DAZN. Unless you live in the America’s, it’s pretty much a boxing channel.

Absolutely love that reception for him.

Yeah, tickets have just went on sale.

They haven’t chosen KSS. Both the headline and the article state that it is just their proposal and that they are 1 of many architecture groups providing proposals.

Just the KSS proposal, it doesn’t mean the club will opt for their option. I highly doubt they would, especially with a £4bn budget.

Officially the club have always said Spring.

Me and LFEE were at the NUST meeting last night. Nothing of detail was said, but it was said that the feeling they are getting is that we are moving and the decision is made.

It would still be writhing their spring deadline to be honest. Some Twitter gobshite said March, and everyone ran with it.

From how I have read it, the bubble wrap option is just 1 possible look for a new stadium. They have invited architects to create proposals, and that is KSS’. I very much doubt the club would be willing to spend up to £4bn to have a copy and paste of the Allianz arena.

I wouldn’t worry about it, we’ll be getting a new stadium.

I hope he’s a massive success back there.

Both Bayern Munich and Juventus would be evidence to the counter.
