The Football.....

Cometh the hour...


I wasn't there but remember it well. That was the beginning of the end for Bill Nick, who was so disillusioned by the events and resigned soon after.

Many a true word etc..... I retract my question

3 London teams in Semi finals. Has that ever happened before for?
How many cities across Europe even have 3 top flight teams? London has 6 teams in the Prem, 7 if you include Watford.

We have 2. Liverpool and Liverpool reserves (to borrow a quote).

That's a cracking general knowledge/pub quiz sort of question.

Glasgow and Edinburgh both have two, and I can think of a lot of other cities across Europe likewise, but 3? Gonna have a think about that.

I can't remember it happening before (but my memory isn't the best). Watford are, at the moment, leading the 'also rans' part of the Premiership, so I think I'll include them! Six points above West Ham, ten above Palace and a staggering 26 points above Fulham., so sitting comfortably with three London clubs above them and three below. (I'm not a Watford fan, as I come from Luton!)

it wasn't deliberate , but I liked today's mileage.

As a Liverpool fan I was hoping Utd would do us a favour with at least a draw against City on Wednesday.
Bliney, even Everton are beating them 4 nil today... with 30 minutes left.

It was shameful. In their insipid pinkie shirts (looks like they should be white but went in the wash with a red sock) they got one shot on target all game (and that not until the 85th minute!) When Evertonil beat anyone, it's a bloody embarrassment but a team who harboured hopes of getting in the Champions League? HA! They'll struggle to get anyone to sign for them and having to play in the Thursday/Sunday cup, that's for sure. What a mistake they made giving the job to Ole Sunny Gobsh*te or whatever they call him. He'll be gone by Christmas.

Did you hear Neville having a go at them
Worst run since 1981.
What on earth can cause this collapse ?

The English game is one where success is never permanent. All teams who have their period of dominance eventually fade.

Benteke, seriously?! How embarrassing

Ooh thanks Everton

And thanks, Palace!
