Great knowing you're going to be going to a game with a big crowd and an atmosphere week in week out. Good for the youngsters that they will feel they're at an event with a buzz, rather than being dragged up there in a 12k crowd or less of a few seasons back.

'Fake' family zone members/ill health, deaths (sadly) and some people relocating in the country/unable to travel. There will always be an element of the above unfortunately. Not looking forward to the day when I am finally persuaded to move to the coast and face that dilemma (assuming i don't...

Yep - remember the arguments supporting a reduced sized stadium, which would have stifled any potential growth in the fanbase - and guess what has happened!

The (in)jury is out for me.

Still got the most positive reviews from pundits and the manager, of all their players tonight.

Some clubs charge fans (Arsenal, I'm pretty sure) to be on a 'waiting/ballot' list, whatever. Not sure how it works, but think they are then entered into a ballot for when tickets are available, so they effectively shell out a chunk of money, yet may never get a ticket. Nice little earner for...

Play footie with a lad who has just bought 2 x STs for him and his lad for the first time (usually does a now and then pay on the gate). I think the match day experience/atmosphere of bigger crowds has encouraged a lot more to commit to buying, plus they're not worried about having to scramble...

sparse / effect - love you Clint , but don't drink and post.

Disagree about one point. We do not need a player to ' keep the ball'. We need players who will attack the last man. That's what is so painful about watching Southgate's sides. It's the overplaying of attacking phases with umpteen passes before anybody considers committing an opponent. It wastes...

Commentator made a good point that we've lost an aerial threat, too. We never looked like winning a decisive header in their box.

It's the 16 passes around the edge of the area that ends up once in every other time with a cross, Put it in early first time (cutting out 10 of those passes) and you'll create more chances by the law of averages, It's almost as if some players think 'as long as I don't give it away, I won't get...

If it stays like this at 90 mins, it will be an embarrassing send off and an interesting 'atmosphere' Edit: If we do well in the Euros, it will be despite Southgate, rather than because of him.

How are they getting in behind us - embarrassingly easy.

For me, it's the number of players only wanting to 'not give away possession' when playing under Southgate that drives me mad.

Agree - the daft thing is that his representatives had it written into his contract that he had to play, by all accounts.

I don't say that he should be the finished article now, but £20m ?? Compare him to Robbie Keane at a similar age.

Pot .....kettle..... black.

Not sure that including Grealish is right (not disagreeing about Maddison's exclusion) Grealish is the antithesis of a Southgate in terms of professionalism. Will probably play very little, yet will invariably appear completely rat arsed if we do well/get knocked out.

Agreed; brilliant move by the Bellinghams - I must admit to having followed Jobe's fortunes at Sunderland more closely due to my frequenting their forum. They have been annoyed (putting it mildly) that he has been given game time when he has been so obviously underperforming. As I've probably...
