    Majority of the bottom bowl were standing throughout the game as well and have done most of this season. Arguably the best atmosphere in England at the minute.

    The old grounds tend to be better than new stadiums imo.

    I've been saying that for a while, hopefully one day we will rediscover this atmosphere at home.

    Imagine being told in August we’d face them in the play off semi finals? Yes please

    Would be a cracking night down there on the Friday too

    100%. Needs to be a balance between having all the things a modern stadium brings in terms of revenue and facilities, while keeping the old school things that help atmosphere.

    From what i've seen of Evertons new ground I think they might've smashed it. Steep stands and hardly any room between the pitch and the stands. Heard transport is a problem though.

    I've said from 'day one' Everton's stadium is fine but the layout is a disaster waiting to happen ...

    ... I'm really staggered it received planning permission.

    they’ve scored 3 more goals in home games than we’ve scored in total. Levels above the rest. (With Burnley)

    May be wrong but I looked after our match and I believe that game was the only time they’ve beaten one of the current top 6 this season. Make themselves hard to beat but we shouldn’t have anything to worry about, I’d love them to be honest don’t think we could ask for a better opponent and that’s without being too disrespectful to them because Manning has done a good job with a really average squad.

    Yeah I looked at that. And for the first 10 minutes we were the better side and actually
    Looked like creating. Then Wells did his thing (which he tried 4 or 5times tonight, not in a “1v1, but in different areas around the box) and got nothing! Not even a foul!

    Amd having watched the 1 time he ran on goal, then completely miscontrolled the ball, it definitely wasn’t an obvious goal scoring opportunity against us!)

    2 ex Sunderland players made it into League 2 team of the season.
    Well done Denver Hume and Luke Molyneux.

    Not a chance. I always support the English clubs in europe, especially against someone like PSG that just think that spending millions and millions will make them Champions of europe.
