Superior Acuña Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Milner also played with David Batty at Leeds, who’s a couple of years older than Shearer, in case that offers any routes edit: though Leeds were second division his first few years Edited March 21 by Superior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally I'd put Watson as a go-between for Burridge & Shearer but seen Shearer & Burridge played together at Southampton so Shearer linked 2026 with 1971 which is a decent chunk.

Optimistic Nut Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Nice trivia for the Burridge & Armfield link. Their last game together was in May 1971 v Man Utd. Their last top flight game until they came up with us. Blackpool's scorer in a 1-1 draw. Tony Green. Edited March 22 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 When we went down in 2016, we scored 5 and 6 in two home games (5-1 Tottenham, 6-2 Norwich). That's got to be rare for a relegated side? Any others in PL era scored 5+ two or more times and gone down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on a quick Wiki while procrastinating the closest I can see are Blackpool (scored four twice, went down with the most goals for a relegated team with 55) and the smogbeasts in 96-97, who scored six in one game and four in another two.

Superior Acuña Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I see Middlesbrough actually scored 4 on four occasions, in addition to 6 on one. That's canny mad, but then they wouldn't have been relegated from results (3 point deduction). Also their form was so streaky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fak Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Ipswich put 5 past Sunderland in 2001/02 iirc. Because I remember being amazed at school when I heard the "5 past Sorensen" time joke for the very first time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up and went to school near/in Washington, was probably 45% us, 45% mackems, 8% Man U then the odd Arsenal and bindippers fan. Few weird cunts at comp who seemed to support both Man U and the mackems depending on which way the wind was blowing and if either had just beaten us. Only other clubs I can recall lads supporting is if they'd moved from elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongly suspect a sad mackem bastard logic of Man U were the only team that could stop us, therefore they must also be supported. They peaked on my street the week Man U beat us in the cup final then won the European Cup, fucking pack of cunts the lot of them. Never sure which way to swing on the parenting though. My old man was/is a dickhead, and he's also a sad mackem bastard. So while he'd never win a nurturing kids award I am always grateful that he never took me to Joker Park or I could have been one of them awful cunts.

leffe186 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Based on a Reddit list, so usual caveats. Southampton are obviously the most recent of the current Championship clubs to reach the FA Cup semi finals. Of the rest, can you name the following? 1. The two clubs that have never made it? 2. The other club that hasn’t done it since the Second World War started? 3. The other club that hasn’t done it since the Korean War started? 4. The two other clubs that haven’t done it since we won the World Cup? Since I was born in 1973, the other 18 current Championship clubs have all made at least the semi-final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
