Wolfcastle

Until I seen it just now would never have even considered Quahsah but can really see it now if he's wanting out. Position we need and just the age we look at.

Still managed a better record than them through the decade tragically enough

They're going to lose a relegation level amount of games this season. Liverpool, Forest, Villa, Brighton still to come, 16 defeats already, not that you'd rule Wolves, Palace, West Ham and the like out

Probably Ange's worst tactical move yet - to get on the fans that were getting on you for a substitution only to have the goal then ruled out

Its like that season Arsenal and Chelsea were as bad as Spurs are now, horrible to watch and bottom half and both got to the Cup Winners Cup semis. Thank heavens for Real Zaragoza. A former player scoring from the halfway line in the last minute against them would make it worth it.

Bit like Leeds above, beaten us once in over 20years, Bruce loses twice to them in as many months

Tragically I think some of them make infinitely more fuss about a potential link to Ath. Bilbao's kit than Notts County do about their well known factual connection to Juventus'. Boca Juniors strip was based on the sail flag of a Swedish ship. You don't hear Olaf on the Newcastle to Gothenburg ferry banging on about it.

Didn't do Glenn Hoddle any harm there

Used to be brutal just getting through one weekend with just the Nationwide league on because of internationals.

This must be how it feels to be a Spurs fan. Wanting them to win but having absolutely no belief that they will. Outside of the bottom three there's nobody I'd have less faith in.

Aston Villa 89/90 is a shout. In the middle of being relegation material either side went and finished 2nd - top as late as late March. Other than David Platt and Paul McGrath who were good the regulars were - Ian Olney, Ian Ormondroyd, Chris Price, Stuart Gray, Paul Birch, Kent Nielson, Derek Mountfield, a decripit Gordon Cowans, Tony Daley and Kevin Gage. No marks who never did anything again. Going against a Liverpool that included: Rush, Aldridge, Barnes, Beardsley, Grobelaar, Whelan, Nicol, McMahon, Molby and Alan Hansen.

Reckon it must have took everything he had to surpress the cup win and been tipped over the edge by reported attendee numbers at the subsequent parade to get obsessive and rattled about it like that.

People talk about Saturday but you couldn't move in town when they lost to Luton in the play offs a couple season back, apparently.

Sheffield United, Southampton, Leicester, Ipswich and Burnley abided by these stupid rules and you just have to marvel at the competitiveness that was created as they all went down with less than a whimper. Forest decided not to follow the rules and took the risk of a points hit and are a thriving enterprise now. But that's bad. Its far better, fairer and competitive if clubs that come up just follow the rules, give up and let themselves be humiliated for a year,

Sods law weather's been cracking days either side. Comes to something mind when you're just wanting good weather for a trophy parade.

Not for me. We've bigger things now, bigger games and occasions than we've had against them. The games didn't stand out in the past when that was the case. Don't need any more drama than every game mattering because were challenging for big things. The matches are usually forgettable and none personally stand out as threatening a top ten in terms of occasions so just brings nothing for me except preserving the status-quo by beating them

Could say exactly the same thing about the old Wembley. Its a stupid arguement on mutiple levels tbh comparing a final to a standard PL match for starters beside that most people on here bemoaned the atmosphere at the same venue and same end of the stadium in 2023.

Hate every single thing about that even before the soulless putrid couldn't give a fuck football starts

They've never forgave Athletic Bilbao for basing their colours on Southampton .

Unintentionally Mark Twain-esque.

Couldn't get Agbonalahor's club out the championship could he? Got fired and his replacement managed it at the first time of asking. And his replacement was/is an absolute nothing of a manager himself.

100% convinced he only got the West Brom job on the fumes of the very prevelant narrative that he'd done a great job here and the 'demanding Geordie' narrative.

Players don't deliberatey miss chances but it was a conscious choice for him to treat this well paying elite career as paid retirement.

Comparison is the thief of joy. But its totally embedded in them as the only measure they have. The best they've had it and likely ever will was 7th a couple times and the primary objective and cause for celebration then was about being 'north east top dogs'.

Shouldn't really need to be confirmed at all, its been a given everywhere for nearly 100years.
