Did you enjoy it D? Didn't really see it myself.

It's a 72,500 stadium with a retractable roof. Very nice.

As Bulldog said it seats 72,500 people, and I've been there a number of times when it's full and the place is rockin'. We also have a retractable roof so when it's raining we can shut it. There was only about 60,000 there yesterday since both teams travelled up from London so I guess not a lot of the fans wanted to travel up for what is just a friendly (exhibition) game. It'll be a different story next time I'm there.... It’ll be Wales v England, a sell out stadium, it'll be a cracking atmosphere, no doubt!

Yeah it was good, I didn't think I'd get the chance to see a big game like this for a while so I went along as a neutral (although in the Arsenal end) and enjoyed myself. Chelsea are gunna take some beating this year, they say they need Essien but I dont know if he'd get a game. It was funny they'd take Robben and Duff off and bring Cole and Wright Phillips on! Arsenal however need a central defender and a central midfileder badly.
