Excited for next season for obvious reasons and we are going to be gracing the CL once again which is brilliant. Whilst the other clubs ( City, Pool and Arsenal) are scraping it out to try and get a place, we have our CL place sewn up already and with ease.
Slowly establishing ourselves as CL regulars is exactly what we wanted and it will superb preperation going into our new stadium for the next season BUT i really do have a sense of dread about Wembley. Unless we shake off this pathetic hoodoo that seem's to be surrounding us at this souless place, we are going to really struggle next season. The stadium itself is fantastic to look at but the atmosphere it generates is s*** let's be honest.
We just can't seem to cope or play our proper game on it due to the pitch being so big. This is something we are going to have to get used to if we are going to have a successful season. I believe the new stadium is going to be pretty similar pitch size to WHL so we should have no real problems settling in there but this Wembley has really got me worried. Anyone geniunely worried?Or will playing all season at Wembley be a good thing?
Wembley - next season

It might have an effect on our league form but I think we should go all out for the cups next season. If we go far then it might then become an advantage.

We were by far the better team vs Chelsea, dominating the ball, pressing them very effectively and were beaten by 2 moments of brilliance by Hazard & Matic.
That performance should give us confidence that we can play our way on that pitch (Although not with Son at LWB) .
We have also put in good performaces at Emriates and other large pitches so i do think this whole big pitch thing is a bit of a red herring.
Is more the atmosphere that makes it seem like an away game, and the away fans will love it and make a massive din....I saw us play gent there and their fans were amazing, it was a massive party day out for them which is how it will be for many visiting fans next season....suddenly at team like Palace at home is their cup final and the players and fans will all be up for it.

A stat was doing the rounds the other week....
Spurs have conceded 10 goals at Wembley this season but have faced just 13 shots
Once we are playing there full-time I do not see it being a huge issue. Obviously it will not be the fortress WHL has become, but we will just have to up our game on our travels
