The Totally Wicked Arena

anything post 90s really😂 1. Short corners 2. Generic box netting. Where have all the individual stanchions gone such as Chelsea,, Southampton etc. 3. Every pitch is cut the same way. No diamond patterns or interesting designs. 4. More than 2 subs allowed. Never see an outfield player going back in goals now. 5. Wages. Players are no longer relatable and are primadonnas. 6. Social media. ''we go again Saturday'' followed by a fist bump or strong arm emoji. 7. Lack of toilet rolls being thrown onto the pitch. 8. LED pitchside advertising particularly the double decker type that MAn City use 9. Too many foreigners and too big squads. Used to be able to name off most teams 1-11. Now the players change so often and are taken from foreign leagues that I no longer can name more than a handful from each team. 10. Slim fitting shirts but baggy shorts. Don't look right to me Jeff. 11. Generic bowl stadiums. Boring. The World Cup in Qatar all looked like they were being played in the same stadium. 12. Lack of dug outs below pitch level like the old ones at Anfield. More to come no doubt....

Looks like Nov or Dec 93

Are the steel pillars of the Riverside/Walkersteel Stand the same steel pillars that were int he old Riverside pre 1988?

ffs this is going to be a goal

Whats the atttendance? Looks about 5000-7000

Another jammy goal haha

xG = - 2.3

is Ng an actual surname??

Yep. But its a carpet compared to what it was in spring 1995

I would say Maradona was better. Single handedly brought Napoli to the title twice and Argentina world cup glory scoring sensational goals along the way. Cant say the same for Messi or Pele

Another shit night.

Is that stairwell still there on the back of the new Riverside?

Was working so only saw the 1st half. Another shit display based on what I saw. Created nothing again which is the real danger sign in this team. How did we play 2nd half? All I saw was the result and a last minute goal.

Merry New Year!

I always found the Newcastle and Sunderland fans to be the dumbest fans in football

To see if Mbappe can break his record of scoring 2 goals in the final?

Messi has done nothing in this 2nd half. France the only winner now bar some great goal from Argentina

All these games in this world cup look like they are all played in the same stadium. Apart from the stadoum last night they are all near identical on tv

For some reason I just imagine Antoine Griezmann stinks of garlic

Performance quality wise poor. Didnt create much. However more energy, fighting and pragmatic football won this match as well as there being a toxic atmosphere at Norwich

Eh why is Ayala coming off??

We should get a JCB instead

haha nice flukey goal

Cheer up lads. Christmas is the time of miracles. Who knows, come 7pm we might be celebrating a famous draw.
