Oh well done Middlesbrough! We all get told that one as well and I assume there should be an asterix saying * That includes European competition. I believe Celtic have done it also.

Celtic won the quadruple in 1967, with local players. Some achievement!

What the heck is the Europa conference league (that Leicester are playing in) and who / how qualifies for it??
That had passed me by until the radio said West Ham and Rangers could meet in the Europa league final and then went onto Leicester?

well maybe you should remember it then, before posting up some spurious non-fact.
For the record, Spurs, Everton, Man U, Arsenal & Sheff Wed (same year), Chelsea have all done the same thing.

Perhaps you'd like to tell us when Evertonil did it.

Maybe you should check before posting some spurious non fact since you would find - if you looked - they didn't.

I think you'll find they reached both cup finals that year, beat Watford in one, lost to Liverpool in t'other, unless wikipedia is incorrect... This is a battle of wits with an unarmed man

They got to the final of their cup comps and played all their league games. What are you refering to? Share with us.

This thread has got weird.
Unless a fixture is cancelled, surely a club has fulfilled all its obligations, regardless of where it gets to in a cup or European competition?
And ultimately, does it matter? I've genuinely never seen it brought up before...
I guess as random trivia goes, it's vaguely interesting, but I don't know a single fan who'd say "Ah, yes, I remember that glorious season in 2001 when Killie fulfilled all their fixtures, what a time to be alive!"

I must say, it confused me also the other week when Leicester won their match in what I thought was the Europa League.

I think they must have slimmed down the no of teams in Europa league (it bloated after its changed its name from UEFA cup IIRC) and then some losers from the top 2 tier qualifying all get to scrap it out with some minor minnows in a tournament i'm sure the likes of Leicester could do without, with none of the magic that the likes of the Anglo Italian cup brought.

Yes, it does remind me of the Anglo Italian pre-season competition days of the early 1970's. If I remember rightly Blackpool seemed to do well in that competition and also Derby, though I think they were successful in The Watney Cup, or summat like that?🤔

Surely, every team completes their fixture list ???
You make, to me at least, less and less sense every post ...
Of course they do. A cup fixture list is defined by the number of rounds a team is successful in. Lose in the semis and that’s your fixture list completed.
It's just more nonsense. Goodness knows why? Liverpool is a great football club which doesn't need bigging up in this ignorant manner.
