The tracks of my tears

Interesting to watch the Roma versus Liverpool game in the Champions League. The Roma ground looks worse than the London Stadium in terms of having a huge athletics track going round the stadium and large gaps behind the goals. Yet the Roma ultras were still able to whip up a fervent atmosphere, even more so when they beat Barcelona in the quarter finals. The London Stadium is imperfect and the rake isn't right, but I still think most of our problems are related to terrible transfer dealings, poor management and owners and poor results. Should West Ham ever compete in a Champions League semi-final we'd create a pretty torrid atmosphere too, even in Stratford. Though on current form this theory is unlikely to be tested within the next hundred years,
