Daft questions (football edition)

Well we post the formation on Twitter an hour before kick off.

 

Not really.  It's just what the media people at the club think we are playing.  Against Brighton for example the two wingers started on opposite wings.

Do managers give the formation information when they release the line up, or do the media just guess/go on previous line ups? I was just wondering whether managers ever lie about it to give them a slight tactical edge.

 

No.

 

In the Premier League for example this is the form that is completed and handed to the match officials.

What was the more important game for us in 1991/92? Was it Portsmouth or Leicester?

 

Portsmouth.  We would had stayed up even if we lost the Leicester game.

Been doing my head in all day - what's the site that's got the retro Newcastle gear on it? David Kelly bucket hats, yellow and green away bobble hats and shit like that? Can I fuck remember it.

Why are our midweek home league games usually always on a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday like everyone else's are?

 

The clubs have some input as to which day they would prefer, seems like we prefer playing on Wednesday for whatever reason.

 

Obviously policing and stuff needs to be practical for the request to go ahead too.

Since squad numbers were brought in in the early / mid nineties there's been loads of numbers retired. Just watched a documentary on Franco Baresi, his number 6 won't be worn again by any meelan player.

 

Anyroad, have any club retired the number 1 shirt? Cause it seems a bit nuts to say no future keeper can have it.

Love the Maldini stipulations, imagine that in 100 years when a distant third cousin of a nephew of one of his descendants wants it :lol:

 

Bit of a tough challenge to set his kids IMO :lol: Implied failure if that shirt stays retired given that at least two of them are pursuing careers in football

 

We should retire 23 tbh.
