I felt it lacked atmosphere at the last game as well to be honest. There were sections off fans singing but they were surrounded by people who weren't and it's difficult to get such a bit place rocking when loads of fans aren't as up for it as some. On the plus side it's two good wins on the bounce now and the lads especially Eriksen look like they're up for it now.

That wound me up about the last game...i and about 10 others seemed to be the only ones singing! They should do tickets so people sing sit together....although i know that is not practical

There has to be a way around it. Most of the people that weren't singing would sing if a small section actually got the songs going but in a place like Wembley that still needs to be a few thousand in the same area singing at the same time but it seemed difficult to get it going. Hopefully it's a lesson learned with fan placement and should be a bit easier to get season ticket holders in the park lane to be in a similar area when we play there again next season, near the away fans for a good sing song!!!!

Well for my last game before I leave for my travels, it was a pretty darn good night. I got to finally see a win at Wembley and I met the fabulous @Don Diaz and @Rev John Ripsher and had a great old chinwag with them. Also got a five minute chat with @Ted the Yid and his lovely lady friend as well- pity we didn't get a longer chat, next game. I'll be relying on my fellow yids to keep us in the Europa until the last 16 so I can get back to Wembley !
As for the game. Thought we played well. It's clicking back into gear for us. Best moment of the night (besides us scoring of course
) was welcoming Toby back and watching Dier scamper forward like an excited 4 year old to go back to the position he so obviously preferred. Got the biggest cheer of the night. Thought our best period of play was when that switch happened. Christian Eriksen was easily MOTM, thought he was superb last night. He's clearly the puppet master of the team, but a lot of his game does matter on how everyone else plays around him. He can see a pass, but the ones in front of him have to make the runs. It's no coincidence that his better performances have been since we have had Harry back and a fully fit Dele. These are the players that shift their asses and creates the runs behind, down the channels or straight into the box.
As for the crowd thing, I was in block J this time, good seats and great singing. There were pockets of dead noise though which made the singing really tough for those who wanted to sing.
Easiest thing to do is to release the tickets to members first, rename Wembley stands the same as at WHL and people who want tickets with there regular guys who sing and shout and cheer will all end up in the same place. Simples. Well, simple-ish..

I thought that too, they should at least try to section it as NESW

Lads, sorry I missed you. Was with my son along with a work colleague who had his 9yo with him. Tbf, the mate had arranged everything and his son was too keen to get into the ground. I felt bad about ditching them. In fairness to @Don Diaz he kept in touch and I left a message on his phone. Great game and the transport from Gatwick was first class. we went up to the Lane....wow. That's going to be some stadium.
We stayed in a premier inn in Kenton, very handy, only 3 stops from Wembley.
Every time I go over Ive got someone with me who either is not too keen on pub before the game or they have some one with them. Ive promised my lad next time its me and him on our terms. He wants to meet you shower as much as I do.
