Of course a lot can change and it is really difficult not to limp over the 11pt line over the course of a season, but this could be the best chance we have of someone taking our record for a long time 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 The similarities with Derby 07-08 are there to see. They started the opening day defeat to Crystal Palace with a weaker team than they had in the Championship. And Palace battered them that day. It was mentioned after the Spurs game that no other team had faced as many shots so far this season. They narrowly lost games, but they were outclassed. And this 8-0 is reminiscent of when Derby lost 0-5 at home to West Ham which just burst that feel good factor bubble. Sheffield United’s only saving grace is that Luton and Burnley are effectively Championship sides too. There are points to be won against them, and throw in a lucky win over a Wolves, Bournemouth or Forest at home and they will creep over 11 points.

PistoldPete Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Sheffield United did look absolutely porous in defence. It could easily have been a lot more. You have to fear for them and the other teams that came up. They will get points when they play each other, if there is clear loser from those games that 11 point record could go this year.

Bit further north than that: It was Kenny Miller, on his league debut. Remember thinking that maybe things were starting to come together after that game. How wrong I was!

Mears, Edworthy, Barnes, Oakley, Jones and Earnshaw and Miller in the mood- not Glenn- were all premier league capable but the rest were dross at that level who couldn't be carried past the first part of the season. I still think if Barnes had been fit, we'd given Earnshaw more time on the pitch and invested in a quick centre back we'd have had at least 25 points.

It makes them feel important. The idea of this trophy going back in time to Sherpa Van days, was the opportunity for supporters of the Rochdales and Southends to have a realistic chance of seeing their side get to and win something at Wembley. Now it's a load of bollox that should be boycotted at all costs and avoided like the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Liverpool were on the end of some poor decisions today. You can understand the Jota yellows were difficult decisions. They both looked like yellows in real time but replays should the first one the Spurs player kicked Jota’s knee while running. But the offside goal was wrong. He was onside. Those that saying scrap VAR though the outcome would be the same. The linesman flagged for offside. So he was in the wrong, and whoever was on VAR duty was wrong not to overturn it. Some suggestions that scrapping VAR will suddenly get the correct result is living in cuckoo land. Officials made more mistakes before VAR. Now, they make less but they are less forgivable.

Which is no surprise given there are billions of pounds at stake here. Something has been rotten in the English game for a long time now. No one can be this incompetent. What is a surprise is that Richard Keys and Andy Gray are still on telly doing their stuff. Who knew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
