It's an Athletic exclusive isn't it (for 5 minutes), not his personally

1996: Man Utd 1997: Man Utd 1998: Arsenal 1999: Man Utd 2000: Man Utd 2001: Man Utd 2002: Arsenal 2003: Man Utd Is that really much better? United won 6 out of 8 (they'd won 2 of the 3 before that too) and Arsenal won the other 2 (then won another one).

I'd also add that in general, you have to be an *exceptional* side now to win the league. If you're not then you won't win. City haven't won one with fewer than 86 points. Look at this nadir from the early 2000s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000–01_FA_Premier_League United weren't even very...

I might take him at LB ahead of Doc, to be honest.

Tommy Rowe released by Doncaster

Teams to win the league in the 1980s and 1990s: Aston Villa (1 time flash in the pan) Liverpool Everton Man Utd Arsenal Leeds (1 time flash in the pan) Blackburn (1 time flash in the pan) Teams to win the league in the 2000s, 2010s and 2020s: Man Utd Arsenal Chelsea Man City Leicester (1 time...

I think that's the problem, no-one really has too much of an issue with him if he started 10 PL games and came on in another 20. Not brilliant obviously but how good is your back up striker ever going to be when you're a team that's probably going to finish somewhere between 8th and 15th, and...

Little statistical quirk: Ipswich played Forest Green in a league fixture on 18 February 2023. In August 2024 they will play four divisions apart from each other.

Accrington literally play at the Wham Stadium. Use them for your hilarity :D I also always had the sax opening to Careless Whisper playing in my head whenever I watched Marcos Alonso play for Chelsea.

Should have been 3-0 up against them at Molineux. Gaz pulled out one of the worst double subs of all time that day, half an hour to go, Doherty and Fabio for Hwang and Cunha. You'd think we'd have watched their game vs Spurs where they kept nicking the ball 30 yards from goal and Spurs refused...

A few recent incidents with them. Obviously Luiz maiming our best forward since Bully. Ramsdale being a fucking prick. Ben Orange being a cheat, it's not "dark arts", he is a cheat. Arteta doing Riverdance down the touchline all the time.

Gilbert up to 22 (15 on the one year list), good progress and he can definitely look to move into the top 16 later this year. In sad news Dene O'Kane has died, only 61. Was a good player in the late 80s/early 90s.

Received wisdom seems to be another year, at most two. He is definitely the difference maker, they have quality players throughout of course but he more or less guarantees you won't ever have a shocker of a season, which even the likes of Klopp and Ancelotti throw in occasionally. They haven't...

The end of the season, and it can't come soon enough for us. It's a shame how it's fizzled out but there's some relief in just getting to reset and break out of the cycle of losing every week, which can't be doing anyone's morale any good. Traditionally you might look at these kind of games as...

If you combined his general play and ability to be a focal point (despite not being very tall) with Hwang's finishing, you'd have a pretty decent mid-table striker.
