Wolves only other team in top 12 to win

I've just seen he stats for the game. Burnley have had more possession than Leicester. Burnley don't have more possession than anyone. Death by football indeed Brendan

That's what I meant. He was in the team at one stage and then he was sent to Siberia. Like when he paid a handy few bob for John Sheridan, played him once and sold him a few months later. Clough was a superb manager for a while but he did some weird shit towards the end

Nigel Jemson and Ian Woan. Fuck me they are Forest throwbacks. Wasn't Jemson one of the many players Clough liked and then fucked off?

Since 1990 we have won 10 major trophies. City have also won 10. Arsenal 14 (8 FA cups). Chelsea 20 (4 before 1990). Mancs 27. Spurs 3. Leicester 3. Blackburn 2. Villa 2. 1 other league winners (Leeds) 3 other FA Cup winners (the Ev, Portsmouth and Wigan). 4 other league cup winners (Sheff Wed, Boro, Birmingham and Swansea). 17 trophy winners (lower division and play-off titles excepted) in 29 years shows how difficult it for smaller clubs to break in. All but 18 trophies from 87 english titles were won by the "big 5" and 8 of those were in the 90s so only 10 from the last 57. I would have thought that English teams had been more dominant in Europe during this time. 12 European titles in 29 years is fairly poor considering. Anyway that's 20 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

It was actually Steve Bould who played him in. He came on to play centre midfield late in the game. Probably to get enough games to earn a medal or just a reward for loyalty. Anyway, Bould to Adams. George Graham would have had a fucking conniption

Busby managed them for 24 years and Ferguson for 26.5 years. Outside of those 50 years of their 142 year history they have won 2 leagues, 5 FA cups, 1 Europa league and 1 league cup. They have had 2 excellent long-term managers who brought them a lot of success but in the other 92 years they are Tottenham or Wolves in terms of honours. Just for perspective. Leaving aside our era from Shankly to Kenny, during the other 97 years the club has still won 5 leagues, 3 FA cups, 4 league cups, 2 champions leagues, 1 UEFA cup. We are definitely more consistent and have won bigger trophies outside of the golden eras. I understand clubs will win a lot of their trophies in successful eras but theirs is sparse enough given their size. Obviously a bit of a wind up but maybe this is normal for them.

But in the last 30 years the best team in the country drops about 30 points a season. The last 2.5 years have distorted expectations. Normally a draw away to a good side with a manager of Mourinho's level would be deemed a good result. I know it's stupid but sometimes as a supporter one could think that we would be better off losing a game to get the monkey, of expecting wins, off our back and we could breathe during a game as we will probably get enough points to win the fucking league and we could enjoy the ride with less stress. Sky showed a graphic tonight that we have won 10 league games by the odd goal this season. Hearts were in mouths for the last 20 minutes for most of those. It's great, its outstanding. Between the matches is magic. Era fuckit, I should be used to us winning nothing easy, and the gap to 2nd makes it look that it is. The 90 minutes are tough though. I suppose I'm just not a mentality monster.

I think so too. I think he will go full grock. 5 at the back with Dier in front. He will hope for a set-piece or a break and celebrate like fuck if they get anything from it. He will attempt to use it as a demonstration to the players and fans that he is still the master and once he has the power he will try win trophies and then fuck the club inside out before trotting off with a massive pay-off. We have to thunder fuck the cunt

Well to be better than Jesse Lings isn't a very high bar

Except his wife I'd say

Alisson TAA Gomez VVD Robbo Lallana Hendo Gini Mo Bobby Sadio Subs: Adrian Williams Philips Ox Curtis Mina Origi. Fuck we are light at the back.

I thought Larouchi struggled a bit positionally when Sidibe played RM and Walcott was making runs in behind on the right side. However I thought he came into his own when The Ev went with high wingers on the right with Walcott and then Richarlison. Neither tracked Larouchi's runs forward and both seemed easier for him to mark.

35 + 85 + 50 + 30 = 200. Just saying.

Watched it on BT and they said that Mané is the 14th player to score for the club on every day of the week. We will give them a pass for making us play on a Thursday for that alone
