Ennis is a powerful looking tallish striker
Quite small isn't he?

Olivia made it sound like Dack was desperate for a move. Even her mum said he "just didn't click with that manager".

I think it was the fact that there was even a mention of a salary for League 1 in the contract of a 'manager' of a well-established PL club that had been in the PL for a decade or so and never finished below 15th, most of the time a lot higher.
It'd be like somebody such as, I dunno, West Ham appointing somebody now and sticking a League 1 salary in there. Mental, just wouldn't happen.

Which team is bottom? - I can’t be bothered trying to work it out 😁
QPR. Took me a minute too!

The linesman couldn't wait to flag for a foul against Grabbi. Look how early he puts his flag up. Joker.

I think Pears, Travis and Gallagher will start over Kaminski, Wharton and Ennis though unfortunately. Just a hunch, hope im wrong.
I know he was left out a lot last season, but surely (and hopefully) his form in the final few games will see Adam Wharton as one of the first names on the team sheet. Think JDT praised him for improving defensively too and Wharton accepted that there had been some things he needed to get better at.
Hopefully Kaminski starting in the first game at Stanley also means he's back to being first choice, though I agree that's probably far from definite.

Second season running where we got a 90th minute equaliser at the Reebok.
Souness down the touchline to celebrate that one if I recall? Also do not remember that with Friedel and the ball boy at all 😄

Yeah we were pretty slick towards the end of the season. I can still remember the "forward!" brigade as we made a few passes in our defensive third at home to Coventry. All it then took was one incisive forward pass to Brereton in the middle in tons of space, and 10 seconds later the ball was in the net.
Adam Wharton made a huge difference as well, as somebody who was comfortable receiving it off the back four all day long, even in tight spaces and under pressure.

Dickov's header v Norwich - there was a spell that season when Pedersen first came into the team when it felt like every one of his inswinging corners either had a good chance of going straight in or being glanced in like Dickov did. They were lethal.

A 28 goal striker, the pick of the PL loans in Harvey Elliott, an improved Brereton, Rothwell, and being able to bring in the likes of Harwood-Bellis and numerous other loans without selling anybody........and a 15th place finish. Well done Tony.
Hated that season apart from a couple of thumpings we handed out early on, when there was brief optimism.

Think we were meant to be at home on a Friday night v Leeds in April 2020, but then lockdown came along. But even that's over three years ago.

It was tactical game and Inter was too defensive for me
Were they? As expected with his cup record, I thought Inzaghi got his tactics spot on for a huge one-off game against City. Have you ever seen City have so few sights of goal? Haven’t seen many teams press City so high like Inter did in the first half in particular either.
So yep I think Inter played it perfectly and had the game’s best chances, but you still need that little bit of luck/to take those chances to beat City.

This brings back memories and a half. Brilliant how we troubled them for many years after our title win, even in our worst state too in 2011. Feed the Yak!
Every Rovers goal scored at Old Trafford since 1993.
00:25. How good is that from David Batty.

Yeah that one. I thought the Henry flick was going in and the follow up shot. Fabrigas was having a good cry after the game.
Beating them in the replay with McCarthy's late stunner after Fabregas had thrown his toys out the pram after the first game was immensely satisfying. Great times.

If Roma were an English club they would be banned from UEFA competitions for five years.
Love how that gets said whenever a foreign club or their fans do something 😆 nothing has ever happened to suggest that'd be the case.
Mourinho's English teams were of course known for their sportsmanship and good treatment of referees. Anders Frisk 2005, Tom Henning Ovrebo 2009 (Mourinho was no longer there then but Chelsea again) - both very similar.

In that case he should have gone to Inter.
He was definitely tempted by Italy. In his 94/95 season diary (available to buy for a few quid online if anyone's interested) he mentions wanting to learn Italian a few times. In fact, from memory, one of the final things he writes is "Now for those Italian lessons" or something similar.
Whether any foreign teams actually came in for him a year later in 96 I'm not sure.

I ain't missing out thanks.
I sometimes watch German or Scottish football but Serie A isn't good now like 30 years ago.
If you only listen to what Sky Sports and TalkSport are telling you then you'll believe that no other leagues are good. Give Serie A a go Chadster, it can be pretty chaotic but the atmosphere and fans are great and it's currently the best/most interesting it's been in a long time. Great managers too, e.g. you'd have known about De Zerbi years ago instead of months ago.
Back to the Championship, would rather Luton win the final I think.

Rodgers is a shit manager
Is he? You can't say Tony Mowbray's a decent manager but Rodgers is a shit one! His last few months at Liverpool and Leicester aside, he's got a good record. Question mark over his teams form at the end of seasons (Liverpool when they almost won it, Leicester twice dropping to 5th from comfortable CL positions late on) but I'm sure he'll rightly get another PL job no problem.

We'll no longer be the only PL champions to go on to be relegated if Leicester do go down.

A gobby get, but he was superb for us during his one season stay. Talk about having a cutting edge upfront. Exciting times, they were.
Great player for us. Those two goals against Boro and then v Portsmouth were superb.
Ah, that Spurs away game though. We were excellent that day. If we'd have got the win we deserved from that then who knows what could have happened that season.
