I think Sunderland never won any games for half a season a couple of times when they set two of the words points total record. Derby having won only 1 game all season (us) when they went down would have done the same. If memory serves, we generously provided 44% of Derby's points total that season. Definitely don't want to be in a relegation battle with a manager who lets things like that happen.

They've lost eleven games in a row. Carver could beat these.

As bad as we've been, we've got over double the points Villa have.

As long as you really cherrypick it and only count West Ham and Southampton's last three games.

They'll be top seeds so could get through the group depending on the draw Unfortunately for them the likes of Dortmund, Roma, Real and Atletico won't be top seeds.

I live in Nottingham and they definitely could. Didn't you know this title means fuck all unless they follow it with back to back European Cups?

Aye, they are happy they have won it as one fluke season will be enough for them to say that anyone can win and have an equal chance. Next season referee's will be even more biased for the big clubs to ensure it never happens again. If anything Sky is precisely the reason this is possible. Now that every Prem club has spending power that outstrips 99% of clubs on the continent, anyone can build a decent squad/hire a good manager by spending through the roof. Once you do that and everything breaks right for you like it did for Leicester, you're in business. Obviously Man Utd/Chelsea/Man City will still have a slight built-in advantage but it isn't insurmountable like it was just 5~6 years ago. This is bad news for the Spurs and Newcastles of the world who have/had fanbases and financial means that far outstripped those of other second-tier clubs, but it's great for everyone else and the watchability of the Premier League in general. Who knew that Sky money would end up being the great equalizer? Have Leicester really spent that much though? That's the point. Their best players have been Vardy and Mahrez. Yeah Leicester are kind of a bad example because they've been so unbelievably lucky with those two, but nevertheless they've surrounded those players with a squad that was built around a 25m+ net spend in each of the past two seasons. That wouldn't have been possible for most recently promoted clubs in the past, nor would it have been possible for them to attract a manager of Ranieri's caliber. Never won a title before and just been sacked from Greece. Pretty much everyone thought he was an awful, uninspired choice at the time, not some major coup. Reckon I definitely said his appointment confirmed their relegation. Close. Found the thread when he got appointed - the reaction is amazing with hindsight. http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,94573.4700.html

Hope he becomes impotent and his wife leaves him for Adebayor.

Barca got knocked out this season by a side who had 23% possession.

Danny Simpson is playing in a well drilled, well organised defensive unit that understand each other. In Hodgson's England side he's be the Danny Simpson we all remember.

I'd take that.

Did you just compare Rafa to Hitler?

I don't understand the concept of taking things one game at a time. How do you take lots of games at once?

No Italian players in Inter v Udinese. Has this every happened in the Premier League with English players?

Ashley isn't likely to do anything daft, Charnley is the problem if we do go down and he's still here. I'd say letting Charnley keep his job would be pretty fucking daft.

They should all be arrested then.

I'd hope if the future allegations weren't proven then he'd have serious claims against all those that conspired to put him away Who are you talking about here exactly? I assume the Complaint and if proven, any co-conspiritants (is that a word? ) The braying mob weren't after putting him away, but extra-judicial punishment is wrong in the extreme amd needs addressing. Co-conspirators! What do you imagine happened, a secret meeting between people with the sole aim of getting Ched Evans sent down for a couple of years?

Won his appeal.

I don't understand how anyone still gets it wrong in the first place. Don't they teach this in school anymore? It's really, really basic English.

Atletico won with 23% possession the other day.

What's the difference between a Pardew win streak and a normal win streak?

These last pages read like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys has signed up to the forum.

Not necessarily. Are they the ones who sponsored Barca?

I've not watched much of us this season, what did he do that was so bad?
