The Wembley Move & next season expectations

[nicdic]

I think people need to grow a bit of a backbone about the whole thing.

Your embarrassing yourself

So they are happy with their wages ard they and don't care that other players in the prem and in some cases not as good get a lot more. I think the one embarrassing themselves is you. Time to get your head out of that sand it's bad for your throat.

 

[SPURSLIFE]

So why didn't everyone try to leave last season? You're telling me there wouldn't have been bigger clubs interested in Rose, Dembele, Kane, Dele etc last summer?

Nobody showed interest in our players last season it was still early days. If they had we would have heard about it. This year is different there is interest in some of them.

Sorry mate, you don't know anything about whether they are happy or unhappy. You are just guessing.
All I can say is - To put in a performance like we did against Leicester where there was nothing to play for, says a lot.

Poch is staying.
Lloris has said he is not leaving as long as Poch stays...
Kane has said he wants a life long contract...
Eriksen's agent said 2 months back he is not looking anywhere.
Vertonghen's agent only 2 days back said - "He is very happy in London. He's playing as a top performer in a top team and is certainly happy."
As for as Dele Alli, unless a 100m offer comes in he isn't going anywhere.
Wanyam & Son have said they are staying & very comfortable.
Rose is injured till preseason-so not going anywhere.
Davies, Trippier, Vorm, Dembele, Janssen all very happy to stay.
Toby status unknown but I would be inclined to think he will sign a new deal.
Dier is too much of a important player for Poch. So when Poch says 'he will keep all players he wants to keep'. No chance such a big player will be let out.
Walker is the only one. While a loss, but not a irreplacable player.

Overall, how ever way you look at it, there is no plausible reason to think they all want out.

They're gonna raise their game to park the bus better?

Watch the West Ham game to see what a little extra effort and intensity can do.

The good thing is that despite the huge capacity, we still only have to give the opposition 3,000 tickets. That's going to look tiny in such a big ground and hopefully if our fans are at least half up for it they'll struggle to make themselves heard.

Its like people are already looking for excuses.

 

[St José Dominguez]

Leicester pitch is pretty much same size as Wembley so this whole pitch size nonsense is now dead.
Club, players and fans need to believe in themselves more after last two seasons.
I am going into next season seeing us as joint favourites. I fully expect us to make a title charge again and believe with our team that is what we should expect. Might not win it but I'd be very disappointed with a lower than 3rd finish.

 

[thebenjamin]

Tbh when you're a top club, teams raise their game against you anyway. Man Utd have been dealing with that for years.

I know we won't, but I really think we should put the away fans in the upper tier. Normally I'm against that, but given we're already sacrificing a lot, we should do everything we can to give ourselves as much home advantage as possible.

 

[TaoistMonkey]

We will make another record of being the first team to win the quad..

Prem
FA Cup
League Cup
Champ League smashing Real Madrid in the final.

Premier League have (rightly) banned clubs from doing that now.

Sunderland and Newcastle both have fans in the upper tier though

Is this correct? I thought it was based on a percentage (10%) of the capacity

 

[Mattspur]

I don't think Wembley will be a problem next season. Sure we had a couple of bad results in the CL there but if you look at the Monaco game, we were unlucky to lose. We dominated possession (63.5%), had more than twice as many shots as them (15 to 7) of which we had 3 times as many as them on target (6 to 2), they just happened to score both of theirs. On another day I think we win that game comfortably. The Leverkusen game, I would say, was our only truly poor performance and it came at a time when we were struggling for form wherever we played. We smashed CSKA 3-1 and against Gent we absolutely dominated them, even though we were down to 10 men for over half the match, but somehow Gent scored 2 goals with only 1 shot on target the whole match. Again with Chelsea we played well and the scoreline was not reflective of the match. But I think it's fair to say that generally our performances there have been on an upward trajectory and next season when we are playing there every other week I expect us to continue to improve.

Think it's 10% up to 3,000.

From official website FAQ

Q: What are the dimensions of the pitch in the new stadium?

A: The pitch dimensions will be 105m x 68m which are in line with the standard specifications as set by UEFA and FIFA

Out of interest, does anyone know the dimensions of our training pitches.

 

[Sandro30]

Think it's 10% up to 3,000.

Correct. 10% in Europe, up to 15% in domestic cup games.

 

[Colston]

I just think Wembley is cursed, like actually, genuinely cursed. Plus, all the shitty teams are going to treat it like a cup final, their fans as well.

Mind you, I thought we'd finish 5th this season so what the fuck do I know.

Good, then we'll just need to be better than them, and I favor us in a match of both skill and grit against anyone in the league.

If we can go a season where almost every game has the atmosphere and intensity of a cup final I'll not fucking complain once, and when the boys finally get to play at the new stadium they'll be even tougher both physically and mentally from the experience.

Rule's only recently been agreed, it comes in for next season - so Newcastle will have to move the away fans somewhere.
