By the way, a bit of a moan, but last Wednesday, first game at the new stadium. There is a group of blokes, mid thirties I'd say, standing around in a group eating and drinking, spilling huge amounts of beer on the floor, dropping/chucking ketchup on the floor, chips etc etc

I was standing next to them with my drink, just thinking do people literally have no respect? This is a brand new stadium, I get it, accidents happen, but this was just a lack of respect and care. I was amazed at the complete disregard for the new floor and surroundings. They were treating the place like a dump. After they'd left the floor was a mess of ketchup, chips and beer. Unbelievable.

Am I the only one who gets fucked off with twats like this?
I went for a slash after the first test event and someone had put a gel insole down one of the loos.

My reaction was more "wtf?!" than "grrr!", but seriously...

I'm really positive about the new stadium. This has nothing to do with that. But I think some clubs can afford to miss out on the CL and others can't. We haven't yet truly established ourselves as a CL level club. We're still a work in progress in that regard. We've now got a stadium fitting for a massive club, but we haven't established ourselves fully on that level yet so missing out on CL will undo a lot of progress we've made. Man Utd can afford to miss out for a couple of seasons because they're still Man Utd. They've got enough credit in the bank in terms of prestige and cash to still attract the best players etc. We don't have that luxury.
I think the biggest problem we have (compared to the other 5) is we haven't got a culture of 'success' (silverware). That's the biggie we have to change, but winning cups is now harder than it's ever been (thanks City/Chelsea).

That’s society in general for you I’m afraid.

We’ve bred a lot of slobbery and ignorance.

I’d rub their noses in it personally ??

Buzzing for tomorrow, had to settle for watching the Palace game on my phone (poolside at The Venetian in Las Vegas so don't feel too sorry for me)

I can't believe you didn't go inside and watch it on a huge screen. I go every year at least once to Vegas staying at the Bellagio and I have never missed a game there on a screen about 15 foot by 10 foot. I am sure all the main hotels show all the games in their sportsbook.

I am going on 29th April this year and will be watching the Bournemouth away game, plus possibly two Champions League semi's, which will be a little gutting to miss being at.

In terms of transport for tomorrow, better to get the tube to seven sisters then train to WHL station or the tube to Tot Hale then train to Northumberland Park?

Depends what time you get to the first stop tbh

If it’s pretty late then I know SS is rammed and hard to get to WHL.

I agree that Levy is far too sensible to have gambled it all on us being in the CL. Obviously we're not suddenly going to go bankrupt if we miss out on the CL. However, in terms of our progression as a football club it'll be a disaster if we drop out of the CL. We're currently right in the middle of a process of establishing our credibility as one of the big boys of PL football and I think being in the CL every year is absolutely essential to us achieving that.

And no-one even expected us to be in the CL now anyway so we're already further ahead with the finances than anyone expected us to be.... although on the flip side it has also cost a lot more.
