Liverpool have been terrible. All credit to Arsenal but I feel they are taking advantage of a bad year for the big boys rather than them being exceptionally good.
January 27, 20232 yr What are the most historic soccer stadiums in Europe? Are there any like Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, or Lambeau Field, that ooze history? It seems like even the oldest stadiums in leagues like the Premier League have been modernized to the point where you can't tell they're 100-125 years old. But that's just from pictures, so I may be wrong.

January 28, 20232 yr I just read up on Old Trafford, and it appears the only part of the stadium from before WW2 (before bombing) is a lone tunnel in the middle of the stadium. Is it a new-old stadium, like how Lambeau Field looks fairly modern in some places? Any other stadiums that look old, with old brickwork and whatnot?

Old Trafford is in a horrible position for expansion, bordered as it is with the main Manchester to Liverpool trainline on one side which would necessitate an incredibly disruptive and expensive civil engineering project to build over, plus the council has said for years they'll turn down any planning applications for further expansion unless the club ponies up for major transport infrastructure improvements (though whether that would hold if the club proposed building a new stadium in another council district is an interesting question) so it almost has to be a complete new stadium. The fact the facilities need massive investment and that the Glaziers are currently attempting to sell the club are not entirely unconnected.

But that's just from pictures, so I may be wrong. I went to the old White Heart Lane which was cool but that one is now redone. Also, I went to Craven Cottage which is very small and has the old feel like Fenway. Capacity is around 20k. I went the day before seeing the Eagles in the New Wembley.
February 9, 20232 yr Thought Liverpool was for sale, oh wait they are irrelevant compared to Man Utd. Revenue wise
February 12, 20232 yr High praise US really needs to steal that English ST, and we have a legit squad
