    If you want it badly enough...you can do it...especially if you have the connections id expect a Billionaire to have.

    First thing the City owners did were to sponsor the training ground for 400 mill. It was one of the owners brothers company that did it. In other words they were just shuffling the money around. The football authorities are gullible enough to buy it...that's their problem

    Maybe I'm speaking a year or 2 too soon and this Stadium project deserves the time to show us it's going to elevate us to that level...let's see

    Villa went from three 6th place finishes and a cup final up to 2010 to relegation in 2016.
    Look at the table going into the final two games of that season: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8637165.stm
    Unbelievable fall from grace.

    The first time I watched spurs live was the 1981 semi final replay and it was the first time I ever felt I belonged anywhere.
    I have brought the lovely Mrs RCL here, my fantastic girls snd was once lucky enough to come to a match on the anniversary of my baby son's death (he died pre Mrs RCL and my girls) so it was like bringing him to the lane.
    I have been to the 125 match, seen us been Arsenal 5 nil and 5-1, was there with my girls when we beat wigan 9-1, was at the last European match, last NLD, last fa cup game and the Finale.
    To be at the 1st match mdkes me feel very lucky...I will scream my lungs out for my girls and the good folk on our board who ain't been as lucky...see you after guys...the train is pulling in to WHL <cheers>

    Paying the extra mill or 2 for Grealish would not have broken ENIC's back but it's breaking Poch's

    Same...gonna look for a stream later but might have to be the radio. Like you say it’s a must-win on so many levels. Massive game to open our amazing stadium, hope the lads are bang up for this.

    When Enic took over we had finished mid table with Leeds, Aston Villa, Sunderland and West Ham above us and George Graham was the manager. Now we complain that we don't convert superiority over Liverpool at Anfield into a win, and are in the CL QFs.

    That tells you all you need to know about whether ENIC has been good for the club.

    ENIC have been good but I fear lots of stuttering at this important crossroads of our joyrney

    Let's see how ENIC deal with the next logical step of our progress..or strengthening the first team significantly

    Odd lineup. 3 at the back or Rose in midfield? Only time will tell

    The DESK rides again!

    BBC London attempted hit piece #2 ...

    Months behind schedule and millions of pounds over budget.

    Close to 1 bn cost.

    THST concerned about ticket prices.

    Had to borrow 650m.

    Payback normally expected to be 10 years. Could be 10-15.


    Qualify for the CL, and I may have to open 1000 social media
    accounts this summer for the counter-WUMmery that justice demands.

    Tells you all you need to know about the expectations and short term memory of supporters as well.

    One of those odd Poch teams that surface from time to time - I assume Rose is playing next to Sissoko in midfield - lets hope that it works!

    Win tonight and we can get on a run - score early get the ground rocking and we will be on our way to 3 pts, but the longer the game remains level or if they score early it could be very difficult, and they are good on the road. Could be a long night, lets hope we start well and get the win

    Anyone found a good site that replaces reddit soccerstreams? I'm looking for Ace Player links particularly. Thanks.
