Spurs actually a really good move for Maddison, especially with Kane out the way.

I am confident the fans would cheer him. Or remain silent if they feel negatively.

MBS at SJP would be like Trump at the UFC. Adulation. He would be cheered, respected and and I am confident no one would have the cajones to do otherwise, even if they felt against him.

They missed a trick not taking him to the World Cup. Fred ffs.

Where did you manage to book that? Online?

I think he’s a terrible footballer and I’m not remotely surprised we are stuck with him.

It has been done out this season, was really tired.

Definitely the SBR effect. Mourinho also with the Bobby links was always the same too, extremely respectful of SJP and the fans. You could imagine in different circumstances both would have loved to have managed NUFC.

You used to get a little pack of goodies for the kids but not anymore. If you want to take your daughter to the match will be essential.

Im certain for PL teams Super League is dead and closed shop Premier League a non starter. Remember when Boris scored cheap political points for backing the PL and slating the Super league? The government whoever it is will step in and squash it and the clubs know that now. For a government it’s perfect - free and popular. They can threaten regulation and the clubs can do nothing (they can’t exactly move offshore). For the clubs it’s terrifying - a potential new government quango in charge of the PL. Last thing they want is Sunak/Starmer whoever getting stuck into them and telling them how to run things.

Agree completely. I fancy our midfield against any in Europe and especially Man City weakened there. They’ve lost Gundogan and potentially De Bruyne too while we’ve added Tonali. Eddie will have the lads ready to take it to them.

Cash also got toasted multiple times by players running at him, another player who wouldn’t make our bench.

We got in early and bought a shed load of half price pints inside the ground to drink in the run up to kick off, it was 50% off before 1630. Carling remains shite but for £2.50 a pint is fair value.

Totally against him going on loan. Having a strong bench/backup is crucial. The first 11 know they need to perform or someone will replace them - that’s the culture at e.g. Man City and what we should be aspiring to. There will be certainly opportunities for Anderson from September once we begin playing twice per week combining PL, CL and Carabao. Followed by busy Christmas schedule then FA Cup run.

Villa looked to try and target him but Gordon/Botman others helped out and big Dan did well enough himself. We will look back very fondly on Burn and should enjoy him.

Villa looked like they gave up. Emery is overrated. Absolutely miles away from our level as a club from top to bottom. Bailey was terrible. Torres looked lost. Martinez is a cheat. Mings was unfortunate to be fair. Spineless performance from a club I will always dislike after their bedsheet antics and delighted to give them a hiding. Let’s face it our bench is better than their first 11. Let’s stop overrating other teams who are miles off Eddies fucking mags.

Thought the atmosphere was class today. Obviously 5 goals helps but what a day.

Champions League v Europa League. Different class.

That area down by the arena is grim - you can’t wait to get away from it if you ever go to an event at the arena. No amount of shiny new buildings I suspect would make me want to spend time there. I can’t say I ever fancy a walk around e.g . the redeveloped brewery/science city area and you could tell me there is a great bar or coffee place there and I wouldn’t bother as it’s soulless. Hoping and expecting expansion in some way and that we avoid joining the list of clubs who have left their historic ground for a stadium. I went to Old Trafford for the England match a few months ago, had never been there before but you could feel the history of the ground(which I would add is worse in a whole host of ways then current SJP). Conversely when went to Wembley it felt like the Metro Centre. Appreciate I may be in a minority but I am passionately, unconditionally against leaving SJP.

If there is to be a new stadium - zero chance it is ready to move into in less than 36 months let alone in under 24 months. More like 2028/29 at the very earliest.

He’s out of contract I think so it may well be essential.

Agree completely. There is so much untapped revenue from existing SJP. I expect further refurbs within the ground and more existing areas converted to premium or hospitality next summer again too. As other posters have said, cost of labour/materials is huge nowadays. The value of an expansion is poor. Unless a Saudi vanity project is wanted - which it may well be.

It’s completely full.

The 1630 Sunday televised kick offs I can see many becoming available. Saturday 3pms outside of summer holidays less so.

But in terms of location - Anfield is seriously grim. SJP is unique in the city centre rather than in the middle of an estate away from the city centre like Anfield.
