jdckelly Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I'd imagine they'd replay it during the middle of the week or whenever they could. Only similar case would have been the Liverpool Arsenal title decider in 89 when they played it after the FA cup final they were playing each other though. aye but the game was scheduled to take place in April but along came Hillsborough and the only time they could place it was then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Realist Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Does anyone find managerial win % records interesting? For instance, according to Wiki, Sir Bobby's fantastic time in charge of us being a 46.66% and Souness' hell with 44.82%. Gullit's ill-fated spell in charge at 34.61% compared to Partyin' with Pardy a mere 8% higher win %. Obviously there's more to it than just % but it's just interesting that such a small % can cause such a stark contrast in managerial careers and how their time in charge is percieved. Just me? Okay. Managerial win % has been kind of useless in my opinion. I feel they should publish % of possible points won since it tells a better story. Extreme example but a team could draw all 38 games and (likely) stay up, all with a win % of 0%. Or win 10, lose the rest and go down with a win % of 26%. I know which manager (assuming I had no other choice) I'd rather have had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yeahh. That's why I find it so interesting. How opinions of managers can fluctuate so much despite such similar/deceptive win %'s. Hence it being in the daft questions, as it shouldnt' be as interesting as I find it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Colossus Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 When did players start wearing ankle tape or who was the first? Also has anyone noticed a few players wearing white socks with black dots on them over their football socks recently, any idea what are those about?

Makes perfect sense might not be too bad an idea with a few modifications. naturally we'd only want the best players so thats our team plus sessegnon and then keeping everything even and 50-50, keep the Newcastle united from our name and the football club from theirs. keep the black stripes from our kit and the white stripes from theirs and best all round to have the ground near the better transport links, whichever city has them.

madras Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 His wiki says born in Glasgow but his origins are Newcastle. Lived in Blyth and went to a school in Gosforth. Nowt about footy. Probably doesn't care as he's got drugs, sex, and rock'n'roll to occupy himself with and don't fall for the old guff about dire straits being a geordie band as they were formed in london with 2 from newcastle and 2 from leicester.

Couldn't give you an exact date on the first one, but probably started around the time when velcro stopped being used on shinguards, sometime after 2000 I think, that's when I got my first good pair of shinguards.

Ocho Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 mourinho has now won titles in portugal, england, italy & spain - has any other manager equalled or bettered this? Trapattoni has won titles in four different countries (Italy, Germany, Portugal and Austria) and according to his wiki, 3 others have achieved the same feat as well - Ernst Happel, Bela Guttmann, and Tomislav Ivic.

clintdempsey Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Just saw the posts regarding managers' win %. Take away our European games under Souness and he's left with a win percentage of 35,8%. Seems to be more in line with the reality of his tenure IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Ah mint, thanks Dave. Apparently the BBC approached him to do some bits for them so he made a start, never heard from them again then noticed they'd totally ripped him off and made their own version.

Jack Flash Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 "There is a genuine spirit here that was sadly absent in 2009 - witness the post-match exchange between Nolan and Williamson. Despite the most incredible of comebacks, the centre half looked inconsolable and his captain failed to rouse him. Never mind grinning, glad-handing opposition players, swapping shirts or arranging nights out, the sort of reaction Williamson showed was sadly lacking two seasons ago. I just never believed Owen was bothered." What actually happened with this? Was Williamson upset with how he played or just emotional at the comeback?
