Man United winning the league in Fergie's last season comes to mind, maybe Spurs finishing 4th under Conte. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Leicester? I mean honestly, MON’s Aston Villa. It was just filled with English cloggers who had failed at the big 6 clubs, in an era when the English premium was just coming in. They were nothing special, and a bunch of overrated overhyped players, and they finished 6th twice. I think they only finished 6th because the rest of the league was fucking shit. That team summed up MON as a manager to me. Absolutely fucking nothing about him, but looked good because at both Celtic, and Aston Villa he had the money which resulted in him finishing where he did. The Leicester League Cups aside, he was a fucking shit manager without money. Edited 16 hours ago by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We showed it ourselves, if you are new to Europe or home a long gap without it, you don’t get as much Champions League money. I fail to see how Forest can sustain it beyond this season. Their owner isn’t as rich as he’d made out to be. He’s actually in the 3rd quarter of richest owners in the league. His wealth is equal to what the Saudi’s are said to be paying for our new stadium. Aside from this he also own Olympiacos, which are his boyhood club, his true passion, and are arguably the bigger of his 2 clubs on the European stage.

Nobody Posted yesterday at 21:33 Share Posted yesterday at 21:33 Man do I wish this utter rubbish Man U side were actually close to some actual trouble. As it is, they'll finish lower mid table at worst, which of course is a disgrace from them, but as bad as they've been, it would have been glorious if they were at least close to the relegation zone.

The College Dropout Posted yesterday at 22:25 Share Posted yesterday at 22:25 I just really hope neither them or Spurs get into the CL via Europa league. Man U seem capable of turning it on against big name sides. We must get 3 points against them. If we don’t. We don’t deserve CL. Our game is between their EL QF games. He’ll probably start Eriksen CM again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted yesterday at 22:43 Share Posted yesterday at 22:43 1 hour ago, Kid Icarus said: Forest have got me wondering, what's the worst but most successful team you've seen in the league? Ipswich 00/01. They seemed to lose in the Play-Offs every year, they sold Dyer to us, finally got promoted that season, then finished 5th with the likes of Wright, Bramble, Venus, Holland & Stewart. Took it to the last game to finish 3rd which would have been Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago (edited) 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.

The College Dropout Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago The Villa side with Gareth Barry, James Milner, Ashley Young, Downing, Delph, Bent etc.? Good side that. Not many fancy foreigners but lots of good young English PL players. Young - Milner - Barry - Downing all in their prime. That's a very good PL midfield, especially for that era. Excellent professionals and characters to have in a squad. The first 3 would play PL football late into their 30s and be dependable players in multiple league-winning sides. Young & Milner winning league titles with 2 clubs. Downing himself got a Liverpool move too and I think he was ok from memory Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
