We have played at New Wembley 5 times and won just one game!

LC Final: 2-1 Chelsea (2008)
LC Final: 0-0 Man Utd, lost on pens (2009)
FA Cup S/F: 0-2 Portmouth (2010)
FA Cup S/F: 1-5 Chelsea (2010)
LC Final: 0-2 Chelsea (2015)

That is depressing as f@ck, and yet people still call us a 'cup club'. Jesus.

The Portsmouth match was horrible, but the others were against the two dominant teams in England. A loss on penalties to United and a 1-2 record against Chelsea isn't bad. Our record against those two for most of the PL era is pretty horrific.

True but it's still poor darts.

The pitch was horrific in the Pompey game. We could not play our passing game at all.

What happens with the Club Wembley seats when we play there?

jts1882 · 29 May 2016

I think Club Wembley offers first options on tickets for additional events.

The initial ten years will be up next summer so perhaps the terms with be different for our season there.

Nothing. It's a separate event to their normal allocation

They will probably be given an option to buy ticket me but they won't get anything included

Lucky Leicester to get the glamour clubs in Pot 1...winning the league has its privileges.

While it should make qualification from the group states a little easier for Leicester, it does mean that it is very unlikely that they will draw a 'glamour club'.... So they might not get a real mouth watering tie unless they do manage to get through their group.

This is Leicester we're talking about. Middlesborough is a glamour tie for them.

Good point.... Did Boro scrape into Europe via winning a 'fair play' trophy like West Ham did last season?.... Speaking of which... that gives me an idea for them for a new corporate lounge at the Olympic Stadium:

As well as their 'We won the World Cup' lounge. They can also add a "We won the 2014/15 fair play trophy" lounge and perhaps a "We won the 2015/16 London league (as long as we don't include Watford)" lounge.

Yiddo · 20 Jun 2016

Dunno about anyone else but i would love a group of death. If we are realistic then we are not going to win the Champions League, so why not play as many as the big teams as we can before going out? thats kind of the point isn't it?

rosenthal · 20 Jun 2016

Why not, I'd love to get traditional Champions League teams in our group. Like Juventus and Porto, team with glamour that we still can compete with.

AdamB · 20 Jun 2016

Based on the seedings, it more or less impossible for us not to have 2 big teams in our group. Least glamorous I guess is CSKA, Bayer Leverusen and Viktoria Plzen

Yiddo · 20 Jun 2016

My dream fixture is to see Tottenham vs Barcelona in a competitive game and what with it being at Wembley, it gives me more chance of getting a ticket (hopefully).

I went to the Wembley Cup game back in 2009 but sadly no Messi or Ibrahivovic playing that day.

Would be great to see how our young team fare against the Catalan giants.
