Think they’ll go for new stadium with any development of St James compromised, Sir John cited legal challenges for abandoning the plan last time, but think in the Hardy article he gives the game away and it was cost that put them off. It was far easier to saddle the club with debt of an expansion, wor betide the Halls/Shepherds would have had to put any of their own money towards it robbing cunts. Real test of PIF’s commitment coming up and expect them to show everyone they mean business and give us the best stadium in this country bar none. Hopefully relaxation in planning through this government will minimise any disruption to timescales.

Loads of decent pubs round Covent, Nags Head, Lamb & Flag, Roundhouse and Punch & Judy to stand outside for civilised folk and a Tesco supermarket for cans when they call time. Most people will just stand outside the bars and hopefully just become a big sing song in the streets, be much better craic than Trafalgar in my humble. Always remember the 90’s appearances at Wembley and Covent was always choca the night before with our fans.

Everton’s only averaged over 50k once in their history, big club but think we have far greater potential crowd size wise.

Think Eddie’s just confirmed attitude not right for some games and can’t pick and choose, definitely think this game sets tone for run in and at very worst a must not lose.

Massive game this, season defining in the league and will go some way to answering whether this team is simply not good enough, or it’s a motivation issue with some of our players.

Always think the best bet for Wembley is to drink at Baker Street, Marleybourne, Kings Cross/Euston, or possibly Kilburn High Road when not playing Man U. The pubs around Wembley are shite, though always thought the Torch is better than Green Man pre match if I was going to bother, but scousers have that. Part of the craic of Wembley used to be pub on way in, then basking in the sun on Wembley Way with some cans and soaking up the atmosphere, but Police have put pay to that.

This will be even better than Trafalgar Square should be great scenes again on the Saturday night.

Probably will end up forking out daft money at some point on the off chance we finally do it, would kick myself for ever if we beat the scousers in the final and I wasn’t there.

Proving trickier to source a ticket on the secondary market this time around, still holding my nerve until nearer the time as think prices will drop slightly at some point, in saying that seems to be a lot less tickets our side in club Wembley etc.

Nobody knows until this summer and we see what their approach is, will we chase the likes of Mbuemo and Huijsen ? or show some imagination when it comes to the crunch.

Good to see the club feeding City with evidence whilst sitting in the background, probably lends weight to why we haven’t pushed through any other sponsorships until this is resolved.

Think Harrow on the Hill is a decent stop off en route coming in that way on tube if you don’t want to drink around Wembley.

Now he’s got that bit of PL experience we’ll pay over the odds for him ? We could have had him for 12 million, or paid a bit more to remove Juve’s 10% clause, unfortunately they chose to pursue Guehi for stupid money as he was deemed a sure thing. Got no problem paying for sure things when our income allows this, however we’ve now gone 3 windows without a purchase due to this failed approach, if Eddie is keen on him, Mitchell should be politely directing him to the next Huijsen and earning his salary.

As much as Fefee Le Foo is clearly talented, there’s a reason he ended up moving from Roma to that shit hole, looks very lightweight for central midfield and clearly not a modern day wide forward.

Without doubt they had to move and in time the stadium will help regenerate the area around it. From an away fan perspective I always find getting to Anfield and Goodison a complete chew on from City Centre, on a nice day you could do a few city centre bars now and walk to their new ground.
