Didnt we win the league in 74/75 with about 5 players scoring 10-12 goals?

Flip side, didnt Clive Allen score 33 league goals in 86/87, 49 in total for the season yet they won nothing?

Rather have a team of goalscorers than just one

Shows how little you know !

Excuse me?! I have my Uefa B badge. I DO know what goes into getting those qualifications. Lots of 1v1 2v2 3v3 11v11 coaching, sessions etc etc. I am an outsider (ie not pro) who does it for the love of the game and coaching at grass roots level. My mentor was Hope Powell who has more knowledge of the game than many on this forum. What opinion do you form that I 'know little'? Just accept my opinion that pro footballers, having done football sessions up the bloody ying yang, day in day out, can pass a coaching badge that even allows a bus driver to qualify. My Dad was evacuated to Hathersage during the War, so got a soft spot for your village/town

Bugs me when the subject of coaching badges comes up, saying Nigel Clough/Wayne Rooney havnt got the required badges. Jeez, these guys have been involved with the greatest managers to have ever lived yet I had to work really hard to gain my B Badge, they can do it in their sleep, it is all they have ever known, routine after routine. Rooney could walk the A and Pro Licence without even trying, its just a tick in the box for him

Not very good at uploading photos but there is a striking resemblance between our Captain Tom Lawrence and Colonel Tom E Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia! No Prisoners!!

I agree it was too and I was screaming at the tv for him to be sent off. It was also very clever as If he’d not done that, Saka was away. 

He’s the epitome of self sacrifice, he bleeds Italy. He was fully prepared to be sent off to prevent a goal and give Italy a chance. The guy is probably the best defender in world football right now. He was Uber respectful in his post match interview, he did what he had to do for his country, that trophy’s heading back to Rome, not London 

 

Yes, the epitome of 'taking one for the team'. Even before that I told my wife Italy would settle for Pens, its what they do - but she no longer wants to eat lasagne!!

Chiellini just gave an interview on ITV, that man is an absolute warrior and is so humble In victory, you just can’t buy that level of class. 

Him and Bonucci are masters of their trade, legends of defending 

I understand you grew up in Italy? I played in Naples for 3 years, Chiellini's assault on Saka was class-less and should have been a Red

"Derby County Ltd" - how utterly straightforward! Whatever happened to Derventio and No Limits!

 But we’ve got to keep the season interesting somehow. 

Thank you, its just that every season, what is it 14 in a row now, have either been one or the other!

How on earth have we got posts with 'Relegation Watch' and 'Path to the Play Offs' next to each other!!? God I love optimism/pessimism in equal amounts ?

Jeez, you are going to have sore feet mate! Good effort tho, bravo

I saw The Wedding Present in Basins, Tricorn Centre in Portsmouth on 15 Oct 1987. I remember the date because it was the night of the Great Storm! I came home having bounced my evening away on many pints of lager and the wind was picking up as I got home. I said to my wife that the cars were bouncing outside and she just thought I was pissed! Lost track of them after that but remember the one single a month stunt in 1992 to beat an Elvis record
