What a great stat, founder members as well;

 

Stoke City lost 2-0 in the very first round of fixtures in 1888 and after 136 years and 2372 game their goal difference has never recovered and has been in minus ever since - the highest it's ever beer was when it was at 0 after ten minutes of their first ever league game.

Hope I can remember that by the time the next pre match pub comes round.

Checked up the first 2 Seasons of the Football League, they finished bottom both seasons with respective GD of -25 & -42. Never stood a chance really, poor sods.

Of all the competitions to have a fixture or two in America it might as well be that one. There's very little that's sacred about the Champions League and it's not grounded in any one location, unless you count 'Europe' as one location. I'm sure the fans of Real Madrid could stomach having to give one final a miss.

 

Any domestic competition and it's another story imo.

Don’t have too much of a problem with the final being held in the u.s as it’s at a neutral ground anyway. All previous stages should be held at the grounds of the teams playing.

one of the reasons the champions league is so great is because of the big atmosphere’s created. If you go to the U.S you will lose that.

Imagine for a second we were good enough in 2033 and made the CL final for the first time and it was hosted there.

New York wouldn’t be that much worse than Istanbul, sure it’s been in Moscow and Kiev previously too although obviously won’t be again anytime soon.

Just done a little digging and the closest I can get is up to 2010 and our goal difference is +1846.

Is anyone still tracking the league champion where it was treated like a boxing championship?

 

I remember it was a thing a couple of years back on here but not sure if it’s still being monitored or who was doing it.
