Never been in SSL3. My comments related to the fact our 20 year old stadium is much better than you deem it to be
It's not poking fun, I don't like the way the stadium is designed or looks, and think other teams have better stadiums. It's a valid opinion, but mature intelligent people would just disagree rather than look like idiots by trying to frame someone as a rag to try and discredit the fact they don't like the stadium design.
So you don't think it was good business sense by our previous regime - i.e. Franny Lee & co to take over the commonwealth stadium to replace Maine Road? And you think it would have been good business sense for our new owners to rip down a perfectly good stadium rather than plan 2 fabulous extensions? Guess that's why SM is successful & our club has become a global commercial success as well as winning 2 league titles - unlike Arsenal who spent their efforts (& money) building a new stadium.
Whose fans are happier (apart from you of course)
i actually prefer the south stand looking different. i dont want arsenals stadium, I want each stand to have its own unique identity.
Agreed - I think it looks pretty unique and quite stunning - especially at night

Well it did for the Group Stage games, and it will still be in my pocket so I'm right on both counts. Sorry, nice try.
I thought you were talking about Monaco away?

Just saying "no" would have been good enough mate.

I'll take a top-class team over a top-class stadium every time. It'd be nice to have both but I'm not bothered if the stadium has to wait a few years.
We WILL have both,it's just a question of time.
Once the standing issue is resolved & plans for the 'Destination' leisure resort are confirmed with world class,elite brand partners ie Ferrari World,announced,the 'Etihad Brand Wrap' will transform the appearance.
If you look at The Abu Dhabi owned projects across the Middle East & Asia,including Kuala Lumpur (Burj Khalifa),you'll know that HH Sheikh Mansour will not accept second best in anything
Was at the etihad on Wednesday and have to say there's a bit of building work going on around the south stand, not sure if it is any prep work in particular, but was interesting to see a people working, it was mainly outside A Turnstile
