The Nou Camp is significantly more attractive than OT, I'm really not seeing why you're holding it up as the bar for attractive stadiums.

It's an incredible ground because of the history and it's scale, but it is not easy on the eye, there are far more attractive PL stadiums.

Again though .. opinions, you're a United fan and the stadium holds meaning, so it's not surprising you prefer it.

Not saying OT is the most beautiful stadium or anything, but Camp Nou? Really? It's looking more like a brutalist relic than a football stadium these days.

That will obviously change with the refurbishment, but right now it's easily the worst of the big stadiums in terms of looks and facilities.

OT's issue is the South Stand being old and dated, the rest of the stadium isn't too bad. It definitely needs updating, but perfectly serviceable all the same.

Yep, to each their own. Old Trafford, regardless of it's history, is beautiful in my opinion. It, along with the Nou Camp, are the best looking ones to me. I can see why yourself and (probably) the majority prefer the more updated ones, though.

I guess so. Maybe I just have a thing for brutalist architect? :lol:

I'm not saying the Nou Camp is all that attractive either, but I definitely prefer it to Old Trafford, which to me just looks like a generic old stadium .. in the same way that to some people our new one looks like a generic modern one, I guess.

There's nothing wrong with it, stadiums don't have to be beautiful, they're there for people to watch the football and OT does that job.

What is with this Huddersfield line up? No Mooy, no Pritchard, their two most technical players who can actually pick a pass. They cannot seriosuly be thinking we will go there and get a 0-0 draw.

You’re talking absolute shite. Camp Nou is a dump. Old Trafford also needs a significant face lift.

You lot and your new stadium are becoming insufferable.

How did Wolves lose to Huddersfield TWICE this season?!?!

Huddersfield actually decided to play people who can play football like Mooy and Pritchard? Unlike whatever this abomination is they have rolled out vs Spurs. So far their best option is a set piece, hopefully they press a bit more and put Spurs under some pressure in the 2nd.

Calm your tits, jesus.

People stated their opinion on how our stadium looks, I did the reverse.

The new stadium talk will die off soon enough when the novelty wears off.

Such a pointless boring game. So many of these in the premier league nowadays. It's about time they take a leaf out from the Scottish league and reduce it to 10 teams and all the teams play each other twice home and away. Would be great games week in week out!

Atmosphere in the new Tottenham stadium isn't all that is it? I get that we're 5ish mins into 2nd half at the moment, but didn't think it was all that in the 1st half either.

It will be good to get rid of Huddersfield and Fulham. They really offered nothing this year.

It’s Huddersfield at home 12.30 kick off, it’s always going to be flat.

It's Huddersfield. A new stadium wasn't going to change the realities of modern football (particularly in England) in that the atmosphere is always going to be pretty stale for games like this.

Spurs are an altogether better football team whilst Kane is absent from the attack. I think this summer would be a good time to cash in whilst his stock is relatively high.

Yes, United will be interested in his services.

Still hoping for Huddersfield to snatch a draw. We need spurs to want the 3 points against City
