Ashley Young has always had a knack of twisting his leg around an opponents leg and ensuring he is the one who goes to ground and wins the free kick.

Blimey, Wembley is leases than 1/2 full for a derby. I know it's 90k but Spuds will have trouble filling their new stadium

As far as I know the attendance limitations are still in place at Wembley so they are restricted to about 50K for most games.

They’ve already sold about 50k season tickets haven’t they?

It looks a lot less than 50k in there at the moment. There are covered of seats on the top teir but also a lot of empty seats all around

This is how it was, I have no idea if Spurs did get the limits changed. As finals, play-offs, NFL, concerts, internationals and so on took up most of the 90K quota.

Quote
Brent Council currently restricts Wembley to 37 full-capacity events per year and, under the current planning agreement, Tottenham would be able to play five home games in front of 90,000 with the rest limited up to 51,000.

Wembley’s request for the number of full-capacity events to be increased by 31 for next season would allow Tottenham to play in front of a sold-out Wembley for 36 games, which would cover their Premier League and European quota.

Brent council will make a decision on the request at a planning committee meeting on March 23, which Tottenham chiefs are expected to attend.

Yeah and why does he often sound as if he's about to burst out laughing, when he's commentating?

Its a pain in the backside getting to Wembley and the Metropolitan line is I understand not running through so you have to do with the go slow Bakerloo all the way. 

Saying that getting to White Hart Lane was also an arse.
