Though we were the only team I think to win at Anfield in 89/90, which was the last time they won the top flight until 2020.
Though we were the only team I think to win at Anfield in 89/90, which was the last time they won the top flight until 2020.As opposed to 1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 1st etc as would have been the norm a few seasons earlier - just highlighting Liverpool not being at their most potent rather than running us down.
Arsenal away is my personal gripe - seen us draw there a few times but never seen us win. (Missed both of those victories early '90's)
He was in our academy at one point I think but was poached by Leicester. Not surprising given that they were league winners 9 years ago, and have an absolutely tremendous academy and facilities.Couldn't go to the Lester game but watch it. That young lad for Lester, Monga, is the next big thing, but he started off with us and went to Lester when he was 8 or 9. The commentator said on many occasions he lives just around the corner from the training ground, does he live in Ryton? Meant to be worth 50 million already. How did we miss him?
That's not really the point I was making, sorry.Away at the Mouldydew v premier league Wolves FA Cup quarter final March 2024.
To beat ‘big teams’ away you need to be in the premier league or draw them in cup competitions. We‘ve been out of the prem for almost a quarter of a century, a whole generation of our fans have missed out.
It’s rare because those teams are up there for a reason.That's not really the point I was making, sorry.
What I mean is within the league we are in, yes the FA Cup win at Wolves was great! But I am talking about league games. When do we go away to the top 4-5 teams in our league and win? I might be wrong but from memory it's very rarely!
Maybe we did Ipswich in league one season? But in the past 2-3 seasons who have we gone to and won?
It's not a criticism lol, I'm just saying I don't think it happens often and it would be nice!
We've done alright at Sunderland recently. Given we'd just returned to league one at the time, didn't we go there and beat them 5-4 and they were a parachute payment team at the time?That's not really the point I was making, sorry.

He's certainly worth more than that just for his potential alone. 16 years old, doesn't look out of place at all against seasoned pro's and even scored on his debut. He will be in demand by the top clubs if he continues as he has started.I'm not saying he won't go on to great things but he isn't worth a tenth of that yet.
That's a fair point Pezza.That's not really the point I was making, sorry.

We didn't. I'm sure he was poached by Leicester. And with their training facilities at the time, compared to ours, you can't really blame the lad.Couldn't go to the Lester game but watch it.

I would agree with them. One thing I've seen is - our starting 11 is up there as if not the best one of the best in the league. What we don't have is bench game changers.As for the game, I was in Skegness and watched it in a pub there, with no commentary. A group of Leicester fanswere in there too and said we looked far better than anyone they'd seen so far this season, and at half time they were begging for a point.
I didn't think we were quite on it myself, and we could be better, but before that game I'd have been happy with a point
He's in the first team at 16, but we don't use our young lads until they're 18/19 cos they're 'too young'? none of it makes sense.He's certainly worth more than that just for his potential alone. 16 years old, doesn't look out of place at all against seasoned pro's and even scored on his debut.

It would if we had one like Monga at 16. It's quite rare to have a 16 year old to be ready to play for one of the top Championship sides. It doesn't make our younger players poor.He's in the first team at 16, but we don't use our young lads until they're 18/19 cos they're 'too young'? none of it makes sense.
Its more the fact that we rarely seem to have players coming through the academy and making an impact on the first team rather than ageIt would if we had one like Monga at 16.

There have been so many young players who have been the next big thing who have disappeared.We didn't. I'm sure he was poached by Leicester. And with their training facilities at the time, compared to ours, you can't really blame the lad.
The progress of the club won't really be reflected in the academy until 5/6 years time at the best
We've had players like that in more recent times. where is Charlie McCann these days?There have been so many young players who have been the next big thing who have disappeared.

I'm not sure how much of Monga is he's just very physically developed for 16 year old which scouts seem to be obsessed with. Like when Dembele played for Celtics u20s at 13. Or Moukoko at Dortmund playing in the Bundesliga at 6 or something mental.I've no doubt if we had a youngster as good as Monga Lampard would be giving him minutes, but we don't.

Certainly played without fearThought he put in a decent cameo Saturday
FUCKING HELL. That's made my day.
Yes indeed, although they got their own back in the last game of the season at Highfield Rd...Though we were the only team I think to win at Anfield in 89/90, which was the last time they won the top flight until 2020.
Let's see how well he does in 4 years time . For every Bellingham , there is a Fati( hyped so much at Barca) and now can't even get into the first 11 at Monaco where he has been loaned .Thought he put in a decent cameo Saturday
Add on the likes of Freddie Adu, Ravel Morrison etc etc.Let's see how well he does in 4 years time . For every Bellingham , there is a Fati( hyped so much at Barca) and now can't even get into the first 11 at Monaco where he has been loaned .
Unemployed.We've had players like that in more recent times. where is Charlie McCann these days?
