2015-16 English Premier League Discussion (Thread II)

Baph, is it true that you lot have to play CL games next season at Wembley? I just read that they are considering it. And the whole 2017-18 season at Wembley or Essex. Also read that Chelsea are playing 3 seasons at Wembley before they get their new stadium.

Is it just me who finds that ingrediens stupid? Why can't you expand while you are playing at your ground just like Liverpool are doing at the moment with Anfield?

Must be really weird for the fans.

I'm not keen on it, but BUCKnation covered most of the nuances. I really hope we don't play our CL games at Wembley, it will erode at our home advantage. Plus, it will be great to play in the CL at the Lane for its final season. The stadium share with Chelsea seems possible season after next, a bit odious I think.

That's happens when you are based in London. You'll always get extra attention. It's like the Knicks in NBA.

Attacking the bus, and in other parts singing about Spurs on their big day. Doesn't matter how good their team ends up, like Chelsea, the fans will always have that small time mentality.

Don't think it's comparable. There's only two NBA teams based in New York, the USA's biggest market. There's countless teams based in London in association football, they don't all get attention on that merit, it's more about their stature as a club.

Clubs like West Ham and Spurs get sh*tload of attention despite not winning that much over the years. I doubt they would get the same attention if they were located in the Midlands.

Wouldnt you say Aston Villa and Everton are bigger than both Spurs and West Ham historically? I doubt there would be the same hype about Goodison if they left. Nobody really cared about Aston Villa this season despite them being a shambles.

No, they aren't much bigger at all, although they're great clubs. I believe Spurs, Villa and Everton all have exactly the same number of trophies won at 24. Villa have the European Cup under their belt but I wouldn't say they're a bigger club based on that.

You say nobody cared about Villa going down, nobody cared about West Ham going down a few years ago either. It is what it is.

Hopefully this ends in a draw.

As much as I dislike United & hope they miss out on CL. City is last on my mind.
