    The trouble is that the ground regulations specifically say that persistent standing is not allowed. The Club would be taking a huge risk if they told stewards not to enforce the regulations as that would be negligence and leave them open for massive damages if anyone was injured. It's ridiculous to scapegoat the stewards in this situation.

    All clubs in England have those or similar regulations, yet many clubs - including us at WHL - still allowed for sections to stand by essentially turning a blind eye.

    Yes but they have had to train 100s of new stewards for the new stadium. They have to tell them to enforce the regulations. If you want the club to change the regulations that's fine but anyone who picks an argument with a steward is going to lose.

    They're playing well against United and could/should be ahead.
    They may rightfully be the butt of our jokes, but they have some talent there.

    As they equalise.... <laugh>

    “they have some talent there”

    Not in the boardroom they don’t.

    Maybe if we had a striker who's good for 20+ goals a season on the pitch it would have been...

    I know there's the Narrative of Eriksen's head being in Francoville already, but has anyone actually paused to look at it from another angle? Namely this angle...

    Games he's played 90 minutes: 32 (23 in the Premier League, 6 in the Champions League, 3 in the Season Killer Cup)
    Games he's been subbed off: 4 (2 in the Premier League, 1 in the Champions League, one in the Season Killer Cup)
    Games where he's come on the bench: 6 (5 in the Premier League, 1 in the Champions League)
    Games he's been an unused sub: 2 (1 in the Premier League, 1 in the FA Cup)
    Games he's not been in the squad: 1 (1 in the FA Cup)
    Games he's missed: 4 (2 in the Premier League, 1 in the Champions league, 1 in the Season Killer Cup)
    Total minutes played: 3319

    That last statistic is the one that sticks out the most when you compare it to the rest of the squad
    Toby Alderweireld: 3610
    Harry Kane: 3252
    Hugo Lloris: 3229
    Moussa Sissoko: 2975
    Son Heung-min: 2709
    Davinson Sanchez: 2662
    Kieran Trippier: 2653
    Harry Winks: 2651
    Lucas Moura: 2471
    Jan Vertonghen: 2409
    Ben Davies: 2396
    Dele Alli: 2233
    Danny Rose: 1944
    Eric Dier: 1626
    Erik Lamela: 1464
    Serge Aurier: 1358
    Juan Foyth: 1066
    Paulo Gazzaniga: 900
    Fernando Llorente: 852
    Mousa Dembele: 706
    KWP: 615
    Victor Wanyama: 553
    Oliver Skipp: 389
    GKN: 121
    Vincent Janssen: 0

    With the exception of Toby nobody's played more football than he has this season, and compared to the rest of our attacking midfielders he's played considerably more football so is it really a surprise that he appears jaded when h'e played the equivalent of almost seven more games than Son or the best part of ten more than Lucas?

    Still doesn't excuse his set pieces, mind...

    As soon as their starting lineup was announced I wondered why Mooy and Pritchard were on the bench and Billing wasn't in the squad (although if he's injured that would explain it...)

    The obvious explanation is they're preparing for a few departures once the transfer window opens, with Mooy, Mounie, Depoitre, Jorgensen, Billing and Pritchard all likely to have suitors, so they're prepping the remainder of their squad ahead of next season

    I agree but in all honesty, Eriksen will have to be sold...we can not lose him in his prime on a free transfer
