Where to start on this thread:
Watch it in a pub - no worse an experience, armchair fans who with a bit of alcohol think they are Hansen.
Sit down/stand-up - YAAWWWNNN. Where I sat yesterday, B36, the balance was about right, but the near goal view was obstructed when people stood. In fact when the view was obstructed I found myself looking at the screen and thought: NO, that's like being in a pub, focus on the game, and got back to only using it for replays.
Families - Daughter could not sit, but had to crouch so she could be ready to stand on her seat - always the risk of tipping back!. At her age, 7, it is about soaking the whole thing in, than seeing all the match (as she can at home btw). You can't teach them it - and will stay in the memory.
Atmosphere - thought No13 did well - plenty of humour (Nugent/Defoe; Handball style Olees etc); kept it up for 90 minutes - Spurs were the ones who were quiet.
Quality of the football in the Premiership - Please. The movement of the attacking play yesterday and in other games as been of the highest order. In fact the greatest attribute of our team's defence is that they are not fazed, keep their shape and concentrate on the ball (not the step-vers) and the spaces more than the movement (which is all well and nice, but has no product unless in results in a ball into space).
Travelling - memo to myself, keep away from Hanger Gyratory (1 hour from M4 to M40) only got there 3 mins before KO.
