The new 'San Giro'

LFC's new stadium plans have been announced. Gone are the toilet design and the wheely bin and in comes........................the 'padlock' (again very in keeping with its surroundings!!)

Seriously though the Kop end idea is an attempt to keep the traditions of the old stadium. Great idea. (I can't believe I just wrote that!)

I do have one concern, with all the glass that is surrounding the stadium, how long before it is bricked to bits????

Opinions? I think it is too far removed from a football stadium. Too American. I personally like the bowl design of Wembley and the Ali Baba Stadium.

Retiring shirts.........


Reports this morning suggest that Arsenal have been planning for life without striker Thierry Henry but no player had been given his old number 14 shirt. Fans have suggested retiring the number to mark the Frenchman's contribution to the club.



What do you think?

Imagine the Arsenal number 14 shirt not turning up in big games anymore!!!!!



And before JN bites back, the rumour that United have retired the number 9 is totally false since its present owner is currently on sick leave after fracturing his toe nail while sleeping!

From toilet to wheely bin...............



















New images of Liverpool's proposed new stadium. A bit of an improvement from the toilet you can below to what can only be descirbed as something resembling a wheely bin!
