I certainly hope so. These kind of games are perfect for him to try something new with the team, that's for sure.

I'll be watching that England game with interest now

Ireland v England will be fun!

Wowee.

How many does it seat?

 

[elhadjihenry]

42,000 I think

 

[Jatz]

Wowza. Looks way too good to be a stadium.

 

[jod23]

It looks kinda weird. Not like a football ground. Im not sure I like it.

 

[Magma]

it's um, modern.

 

[BluesMan]

It's white that's for sure

 

[Latro]

It's white that's for sure

Will be really popular with Chelsea fans then.

 

[glenferry23]

John Terry approves.

 

[jod23]

It looks cold and sterile, after further views ive gone from not sure that I like it, to I definitely dont like it.

 

[SM]

I think it looks beautiful, doesn't look like an eyesore stuck in the middle of a city, but a work of art.

 

[Thistle]

I don't like it, it doesn't have the feel of a football stadium. It looks more like a museum and doesn't give off the sense that there is a battle awaiting inside.

Has anyone seen the Loosest Aussie bloke on Facebook? He does a couple of football videos that are absolutely hilarious.

"And Bale scores. Ronaldo is really unhappy, he feels he should have been passed the ball even though he's on the bench"

I'd post it here but it's fairly colourful.

You know its good architecture when it polarises opinion!

I love it as an object, guess you would have to experience it live to know have it really "feels" as a football stadium.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Looks more like a Museum than a stadium haha. Still quite impressive though!

With all those pillars, maybe would be more fitting if it was home to a Greek or Rome based club.

 

[elhadjihenry]

Not sure why or if others will agree, but I hate the way Australians continually refer to the English Premier League as "EPL", such as "EPL champions" or "let's watch some EPL". Jim Wilson has done it about 50 times already. Do they refer to the league as the "EPL" in the UK?

This should make you happy:

 

[BlueBen]

This should make you happy:

Haha, thanks, but I don't think removing the sponsor from the league is going to stop people in Australia referring to the competition as the "EPL", given that not many now refer to the league as the "Barclays Premier League" or "BPL".

So the crusade will continue, haha.

Interesting article on the financial position of PL clubs.

Looks better than the terrible colours the new Perth stadium will be

Rust I think it was.

That bloke is hilarious, not just the football videos but all of them. Cricket commentary is hilarious as well.

Don't rate it at all personally.
