The venue looks amazing, wanted to go to the WC game there so this is brilliant news, don't buy into this only at Wembley stuff, Cardiff was amazing. Now we've won at Wembley twice get it on the road.



Its always been players dreams to play at Wembley but since they have been playing all these Mickey Mouse football games like the lower division play offs its taken the shine and excitement off playing there.
When you think there are probably Premier League players who have not played there yet some non league and lower football league players have played there some more than once.
For Rugby league it was special but again a lower league final has been introduced.
it needed to be kept special and exclusive for major tournaments as it used to be.

Time and tide wait for no man, things have to change it’s the nature of life, sometimes the changes are for the better, sometimes not, like your wooden leg for example, now no trees need cutting down, and legs can be made so good, you can run in the olympics with them :D

Agree. Take the FA Cup. Once the semi finals were played at Wembley it completely devalued winning the trophy.

... but Wembley is a business, not a charity.






Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Correct, but having so many opportunities to play there takes away its prestige.
