If anyone has not watched it(the Wrexham tv show) it’s definitely worth it. I put it off for a while half due to the hype. But it is good.

Watching this does feel link a spoiler for the tv show!

agreed. Absolute comedy defending. The defender had 6 inches in height on him. Didn’t look at the ball. Just pushes him in the chest. If he’d just done his job it would have been easy. I guess the push wasn’t hard enough!

Wrexham vs Nottingham county should be fun. I wonder what the viewing figures will be.

I guess he means wining the champions league and denying 4th place a spot.

I'd like that too. After the last attempt I just presumed it was a no go.

If money was no object I would: 1. Build a 50k ikea stadium somewhere close that ends up being used for something else 2. Move there 3. Tear down St James and build a state or the art stadium on the current site. I'm sure starting from scratch on that site you could have a 70k+ stadium. St James, as much as we love it, architecturally and design wise is about 5-10 projects iterating/improving on the last one. I would still find this hard to take as I do love the uniqueness the build history has brought to the stadium. I never see this happening though. I think we will see another iteration improving things a bit but not being game changing.

This is where St James current layout hurts us. We could really do with a couple rings of boxes around the ground. Like Wembley, Arsenal & Tottenham. Doing this without reducing the capacity of ruining what St James is would be very difficult.

I really like the idea of 52,000 £999,999.99 sponsorship deals for seats in the stand.

The training ground and stadium is what I am most looking forward to. It will put to bed the doubts that PIF are not committed to the scale of investment that Man City saw. It will set up up for decades. The sooner this happens the better.

This is where things are going to get difficult. PIF have their fingers pretty much everywhere. Everyone could be classed as related. This could get really messy and maybe already is behind the scenes.

I dont know. Personally I cannot see how they can legally do anything. The example I use is: - two Saudi companies both want to sponsor us - bidding war - we get a shirt sponsor ten times Man City (extreme example to illustrate the point) How can they deny us? We argue that we are Saudi owned. Huge interest in us in Saudi. Two companies wanted to have us and went mad. I do not see how in court the premier league could win simple case of supply and demand. I think an argument that your rivals are getting x, y or z is irrelevant and can't be fair trade.

This summer is going to clear up what we can actually do financially. It could be a huge sponsorship deal for shirt, training ground and stadium. Or a premier league handcuffed marginal improvement. If it's the latter next season could be incredibly hard for us. Potentially balancing Europe with the league with a marginally better squad. We could easily slip down to mid table. Making the bigger deals hard to justify again. The rules set up to maintain the greedy six's dominance are well thought out. They are not stupid. We see teams flirt with breaking into it for a year and then really struggle. I do think/hope we're different but its not going to be easy.

I agree I think it was a bit of a bottle job. They were panicking and not backing themselves to attack anymore. When Saka was through and crossed we would have had 3-4 players with him. They eventually had one. We've got a bit go Keegan in us in that even with just a 1 goal lead we still commit men forward.

Two teams on great form, I think the game will come down to a flip of a coin. Who starts well, who gets a decision, who finishes the first chance. The false rivalry is an irritation. I'd rather us Brighton, Villa, Everton, Brentford etc saw the similarities in what we're all trying to achieve in breaking the premier league into a big 10. Lots of their fans and some of ours are so obsessed. It's easy to get drawn into it and making this a bigger game than what it is.

It just goes to show how good our recruitment are. The two we wanted both excelling. After Smith and Gerrard Villa's recruitment team probably just thought we must know what they're doing lets go for someone who turned them down.

Good game this.

Pope would have caught it.

Dirty time wasting arsenal wankers.

So stupid but it is what it is. Move on. He will be kicking himself now. No need for any pile on. Hopefully he scores against villa and runs over to howe and bows down ?‍♂️?

We can definitely get into this arsenal team with our crowd.

Another angle:

It was a player he’d be on the ground rolling round and a red would follow.

I’m surprised they’re not making more of that.

They were saying the linesman elbowed someone or something similar!
