Yes we need a new stadium to compete with the other big clubs, something I've said for a while now.

Givf new stadium thats not bowl and has a big ass standing stand at one end!

Standing > sitting down at the ground

Why so when you can't fill it you can blame FA rules for that stand being empty

 

[megadave]

That's why the rules need changing, surely having designated standing areas is safer than standing amongst a load of seats

My first 5 games were at old old highbury when it was standing and it was great. But I think after the disasters and with the police not wanting to triple the crowds it will not happen. But halfing ticket prices in standing sections would be a good way to increase crowds.

I bloody loved Highbury. Packed so close to the pitch it was a real fortress in our dominant days.

Not really a misleading headline; public broadcast is still stopped, but private individuals can fill their boots.

It's annoying how far Molineux is away from the bitch, cant make an intimidating atmosphere at all.

Standing is miles better, even fucking Cheltenham Town has a better atmosphere then any ground in the PL, including Molineux in this. Standing makes all the difference.

Well it is, the ECJ judgement is a guidance, not a ruling.

Club captain in talking up teammate shocker. How very dare he.

Besides he's talking about his attributes and he is indeed a very good player. Is still only young and has been improving every season - with the exception of last year under that semi-retired twat Houllier.

He does not deserve to be mentioned in the same league as Ronaldo, period! He's never dnoe it for a full season either, he had a half decent start a couple of years ago and then didn't score for 4 months or something.

Despite having played in the same league as Ronaldo? He's had a number of good complete seasons, particularly under O'Neill. You should take your head out of the Sky four's arse sometime.

So has Emile Heskey. Enough said.

The same Emile Heskey who has scored more goals in a World Cup final than Wayne Rooney and was our best player at the last World Cup? That one?

 

[Everz]

Hah.

Though he's never going to be in Ronaldos league at all because Gabby will never leave Villa.

 

[megadave]

Gabby has looked good this season, stepped up when needed after all the outgoing players. Doesn't mean a comparison to Ronaldo makes sense.

 

[Everz]

I think I partially understand it as he considerably got the whole package as a striker, hes got pace, strength, finishing and his positioning isnt half bad either. With a bit better footballing brain and in a superior team (see young at united) I'd say he'd be a top striker.

Fucking LOL @ Kia the cunt Joorabchian trying to spin what Tevez said, only for TV to get it interpreted and call him a lying shit.
