He says a couple of things that people won’t like (that Ashley and Bruce were alright), but l generally I thought it was decent. It strange because in some ways he’s a very simple, basic character, yet in others he’s quite complex. It’s worth a watch anyway. https://youtu.be/zHYo4Cy-RFA?si=6llrf4JUg4a2Fe12 Edited January 5 by SteV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kinda rebuffs that point on Bruce, but tbh I don’t want to go on too much cos that was only a very small percentage of the whole thing, so shouldn’t put anyone off watching.

Sima Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) 29 minutes ago, Big River said: when did we stop announcing a man of the match? Since Scott Parker won it so many times he got to keep the trophy. Transcript from Onedeck's booth about 20 year ago: "Who do you think should be man of the match?"

Fak Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Without looking at the stats I feel like direct free kicks are barely scored nowadays anyway? Villa scored one away to Leeds before Xmas and I remember Szobozslai (sp?) against Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 On 05/01/2026 at 12:00, Superior Acuña said: We currently have one player on 9 goals all comps (Nick), and three on 7 (Gordon, Bruno, Barnes). Last season only one player made it to double figures (Isak). The two seasons before that three each year (Isak x 2, Wilson x 2, Gordon x 1, Miggy x 1). Decent chance of four players ending the season on double figures (maybe Wissa could be a candidate too)- wonder when the last time that was in top flight. edit: I didn't check all seasons, just some I thought candidates. I think it would be 01/02 when Shearer, Bellamy, Nobby and Robert all reached double figs. (Did in first champ season - Carroll, Shola, Nolan, Lovenkrands) One down (11). One more on 9, two on 8.
