Sao Paulo is definately an other level than everything in western Europe, i'm jealous!
Respect for all the stadiums with high level atmosphere, singing and waving flags.
But you can find my IHSH here.The stand holds 28,000 in a BVB league match as it's safe terracing.

Wow, that's a big block of fans! Great noise.

WF - Are you in the Toon? I don't get up very often these days, and thanks to Fat Mike I'm stuffed for away games. Never thought I'd miss Freddy Sheperd.

No, not in the Toon any more - moved to London about 8 years ago for work. Had a season ticket though when I used to live up there. Most of the guys I went to the match with no longer have season tickets because they're fed up of FMA. I get a few games in down here - mostly sat in the home end though. Never really had a problem - was sat in the City end last season though for City vs Toon and it did get a bit hairy at one point. No fisticuffs though.

Not as bad a result as you expected today Mega, especially with 10 men for a fair ol' spell. Just as bad as I expected for the Canaries…
-
i was pleasantly shocked, I now fully expect to be humped in the derby next week
-
Mega…? Where are you after that great result at the weekend!?
-
Personally I'm still stunned by Stoke's only goal at the weekend. And the extremely restrained (almost embarrassed) celebration by the scorer

Goal of the season contender?
-
Nope, just a hilarious fluke that Stoke will pass off as justification for us clinging to the Premier League this season. Of course, if we're relegated it will be a huge injustice, and nothing at all to do with the way we've played so far.
-
I take it that Hughes has not impressed you thus far? I thought he was bringing about a change in style, I saw you guys play earlier in the season and actually thought you were quite entertaining (the match where Pennant scored a screamer), I have never said that about Stoke before.
-
To discuss Newcastle, we've been playing well for weeks. We should have beaten Liverpool, Scumderland and Man City but for poor finishing, the play has been great.
Hoping the Chelsea result will see us turn a corner, but the Toon being the Toon I'm guessing we have a large beating waiting for us on Saturday.
-
Well, in my eyes he's not done much so far… I suppose there's plenty of time yet. I know that Stoke will never trouble the top 4 or 5. And that the Europa League is the best we can hope for, but is it wrong to hope for a better finish year on year? And something other than the 'rugby team' of English football ??
-
Certainly not wrong to aspire mate, but English football is in a rut and none of us are going to challenge the money clubs for a long, long time.

Sad but true. Seeing how Bayern took Man City apart also shows a gulf in ability that they haven't managed to address despite their billions. As a Norwich fan it'll be the same hope of staying in the top flight for another season, although our goal difference certainly suffered at the weekend. Was great seeing Newcastle take 3 points from the Chelsea match, which added to list of the games where the 'top' teams have dropped points. Hopefully it'll keep things nice and close for the end of the season.
With regards to Stoke, anyone is better than Tony Pulis right?
-
ponders the futility of trying to find good things to say about Pulis
Yes ok, you have a valid point there…
-
Isn't there the possibility of him going to Crystal Palace? I hope i'm wrong, for their sake!
-
Aren't Palace in enough trouble at the moment?? What have those poor bastards done to deserve that possibility… Unless it's being used as a threat: "Start climbing that League table or else..."

devils to pip gunners on sunday!
