Armrests? Are you on a WUM? Supporters should want to sway and surge on a standing terrace when a goal is scored and not want to lift their fat flabby clotted-veined arm off an armrest to eat another handful of popcorn in celebration.

The idea of watching a match with an armrest in a football stadium gives me goosebumps. Which overweight non-sports fan came up with that idea??

I have to agree. It doesn't look like axel has taken a picture of Wembley, it looks like he's taken a picture of a small Wembley replica. That's not the photo's fault, it's the fault of the effects he's put on the photo. A picture of wembley doesn't need that many touches to make it a good photo. Maybe a b&w might be nice, but yeah.

I think the miniture effect is kind of the point of tilt shift for most. I think it does it very well, and the first few times I saw a tilt-shift picture I was really quite taken with it.

The first few times though...

After seeing several hundred of the buggers, they really start to grate.


And don't get me started on pics that have been photoshopped so they are mainly B&W apart from one detail that's in colour.

Nope. Just seen far too many photos posted to forums using these effects over the past year or so.

It's the overexposure (for want of a better word) of them. I feel the same way if I see James Corden on tv.

Thumbs down

Wembley Stadium is probably the most overrated stadium in the world currently

defects:

-retractable roof very low & does not arches upwards like US/Canadian indoor stadiums which gives its very spacious feeling (Cowboy stadium)

-Only 1 & very small LED screen when a stadium this size needs 3-4 massive huge LED screens like US football stadium.

-That arc is a waste of money. Its neither aesthetic nor awe inspiring. money could've been spend on Full HD LED screens.
