    The old Wembley was pretty bleak. It's not like that now, been twice, loved it both times.

    Did 3 play-off finals at the old Wembley which were great days out as we had over 40K for each ... losses against Blackburn and Swindon before finally coming good in an all East Midlands affair against Derby ... amazing atmosphere each time. <cheers>

    Looking forward to the FA Cup game with Chelsea tomorrow but with some trepidation ... our last 2 no crowd games have been ****ing awful ... OK both Watford and Brighton set up not to lose against us, but we were pretty dire and sterile.

    At least Chelsea will come to attack, which I hope will make for an entertaining game at least <cheers>

    Talk that they may let 15000 in. That’s a bit of an advantage for Man City if they got there. It would be like they were playing at home.

    Playing in a stadium where you could hear a pin drop would be a huge advantage to Arsenal <ok>

    Chelsea will finish 3rd and win the FA Cup.

    Don't know why Leicester decided not to bother any more.

    Just finished moving and seen we're 3-1 up?

    I've never known a team to be so good away yet so utterly poor at home.

    The Watford consolation saw a tidy 4 home for me today. Forest, Chelsea, Arsenal and BTTS in Watford vs Soton. 22-1. Boom.

    Agreed ... but they were there for the taking in the first half.

    Looking at your results you lot ain't got going again yet. Must be a bit of a worry with Wolves creeping up.

    You’re in grave danger of dropping out of the CL spots that looked a racing certainty before the lockdown.

    Why are the commentators getting over excited about the so called 'onslaught' - ffs it's called defending. It's always been Bruce's bread and butter. If he didn't adopt such tactics, they'd have been ripped to shreds by now....still might be.
