Attacking

Concerned to see Eccles having so little influence on the game. For me, his strength was always in disrupting the opposition, nicking the ball and playing it simple. He did it as well as anyone in this league. Didn’t see much of that today, and he almost looked unfit because he wasn’t even...

This distinction is too subtle for me

First time I've even looked at this thread I think 🤷‍♂️ I feel like our position in the table now is about right, taking the season as a whole. I’ve genuinely always felt we’re in a group of roughly 10 teams who aren’t good enough to be challenging for the top two, but have a realistic shout...

It's a ridiculous three points!

Amusing right enough, but wish people would get their geography right

Just a flesh wound

Brawl with Oggy and Rob in the tunnel

Their resilience and blind optimism is awesome 😂

IMO the biggest factor was the introduction of the all-seater arrangement in 1981. The large standing areas on the Spion Kop were replaced by a much smaller bunch of plastic seats completely exposed to the elements, and not surprisingly it wasn't popular. The change also pretty much coincided...
