We ain't got no history?
In a perverse kind of way you wonder if the events of the Burnley match might fire the crowd up for the Southampton game and see a massive wave of support for the Irons. It's often been said that the London Stadium has no history, but we've now seen the first pitch invasions and the first storming of the boardroom. Not the best markers perhaps, but it's certainly something eventful that's happened in the new stadium to rank alongside the Bond Scheme protests at the Boleyn, which also had a bloke with a corner flag. At the LS we've seen Andy Carroll's overhead goal, Spurs beaten, Man City thrash us and Payet memorably turned on in the win against Palace. Say what you like about the new stadium, but things have already happened there. And the title wins are still to come when we reach the next level (perhaps).
