I dunno if West Ham are down for sure. West Brom are down for sure. So there's still Palace, Southampton, Stoke, Huddersfield and Swansea (although they've hit form at the right time).
I think it's gone somewhat under the radar just how pissed off West Ham fans are with the new stadium, the board, the team etc. I watched a video a few weeks ago, of a fan's eye view of walking to the Stadium and it doesn't look or feel like West Ham's home ground. At least Arsenal stayed local and the Emirates is purpose built for Arsenal, much like the new Lane will be for Spurs. It was like when a company hires a venue for a conference and they put up logos and posters designed to be taken down straight after the event.
Far too much space between the fans and the field of play.
I wonder if West Ham will still be at the London stadium in ten years time.
I think the stadium is just a small part of it, if the owners were better on everything else it wouldn't be a huge deal (though it is built for noise to filter down, as amusingly people in the stands complain that the atmosphere is poor, but players say that when it's going it's the loudest stadium in the league). In 10 years time I'd guess there is new ownership and they find a way to adjust the deal to either buy the stadium outright, or add seating permanently.
Jamie Carragher suspended from Sky Sports after spitting at 14 year old daughter of a ManU fan who was giving him shit for the win over Liverpool. There is video on YouTube. Don’t see what led prior, but no excuse for his actions. Disgusting.
Just saw the video, and the thing is it wasnt even that much banter from the guy in the other car. What a fuckin idiot to do that.
He's been apologizing profusely all over the Internet. Monumentally stupid thing to have done. Reckon he gets a month suspension or some such plus some form of "sensitivity training"
While important I think he was spitting at the father .. who WAS a ManU fan .. so there is that ..
