i watched the release video yesterday and forwarded it to two friends, and mentioned, that all 3 of us went to the first game that the Thai's and sousa were in charge for, palace away, and we were 3-0 down at half time. if someone had walked up to me and said don't sweat, it over the next 10 years we'd win league titles, see some on the best players in Europe play in that blue shirt, play in European competitions and it all culminate with the completion of a state of the art training facility that very well may be the best in Europe if not the world! i'd have laughed my self silly, then had that person committed! 

The transformation of the club is nothing short of unbelievable! Vichai and Top have shown what passion and drive can do when you genuinely believe that something can be achieved and they deserve huge, huge credit for this facility and the wider success. i know that's not new news.

i read a previous post about teams coming up and 'staying in their lane' and not rocking the boat as it were. But those two have changed and continue to change and challenge the landscape of the established clubs, and its just brilliant to be able to say this is our club, and to see those posts from other teams fans wishing they had owners like ours. i love this club.

Worst thing about that Palace game was being stuck on the coach back for like 6 hours because of an oil spill on the motorway!

One is Luke Thomas...can't work the other one out, maybe a young GK, he looks taller than everyone else

I thought that at first but I think it's the young polish goalkeeper

Young polish keeper, storalyck of something similar ?

I think the tall one is a keeper. He's got goalie gloves in his hand. Could well be Jakub Stolarczyk.

 

I don't think the short one is Thomas. Doesn't look like him. Don't know who that is.

It is Thomas, if you look on Instagram there is a clearer picture of Like Thomas and he's wearing the same coat

The first reveal video was emotional. But only with the sound on. Turn it off and you’re essentially looking at possible spa resorts.
 

It looks great. A great help to compete with transfers. I’d love to spend time there. Ain’t a bad work environment, that.

I stand corrected. That other one really doesn't look like him. He looks blond and pretty short in that. And his face looks completely different. He looks a bit like Eminem or that bloke out the Arctic Monkeys in it.

From what I gather they will be training, then allowed home for several hours before coming back to stay over in the on site accommodation, Rodgers wants them all 100% focused for the early kick off on Boxing Day. This was the plan a few weeks ago anyway.

Hope so. That would give us a real advantage over a utd that were playing away 18 hours ago. Big week ahead.
