Re: Football Season 2015/2016
You must have been watching a different game Arthur, it was Fabregas who was stamped on and NINE Spurs players got booked, an all time high (or low) in the Premiership and four from Chelsea.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
You have pointed me correctly.
But Fabregas, is being blamed for inciting the trouble. From what l have heard. And the FA is looking into several videos of the game. So l can see players from BOTH sides, being banned for the rest of the season. And the start of next season. I find it extremely sad, that footballers behave in such an appalling manner. I think personally that a more stronger ref, such as Mike Dean should have taken this game. I feel that Clattenburg, should have been stronger from the start. I feel that there could have been troubkle at the end of the game, although, not reported. I have been to Stamford Bridge for Spurs games. And there is only One railway station - which is Fulham Broadway. I remember when l went there, there are blocks of flats by the station, and Chelsea fans were waiting for Spurs fans to come out.

The really annoying thing is the only game I missed was the Capital One game against Ipswich. That was due to travelling all the way to Cornwall for my nephews wedding, what really bugs me is that they split up five months later.:mad: |

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
All these polls with 90% plus saying that Leicester have achieved the greatest feat ever in English football is way off the mark in my mind.
Nottingham Forest, without the millions that Leicester have had won the 1st division in the 1st season after winning promotion to that division and then won two European Cups and European Super Cup. A similar sized, small city club with no super stars just like Leicester but IMHO a far superior achievement. |
Re: Football Season 2015/2016
No l disagree with you as football was a different game money wise then compared to now as there are many mega cash rich clubs just in the PS alone now where generally most of the big players go to thus Leicester have had to build a squad generally on a shoestring to try to compete against the many mega rich giants which in Nottingham Forest days were not there in the depth as they are now and although Nottingham Forests achievements are very very considerable they are not on the scale of Leicester winning the Premiership in my humble opinion.

Yes as l say Forest achievements were certainly unforgettable and how Cloughie was not England manager well l think we all know the answer to that but yes it would be wonderful to see Leicester progress in the Champions League next season..

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
Well it is certainly true that the passage of time diminishes ones achievements, especially for those that were not even born at the time.;)
As I said Forest won the 1st division at the very first attempt after promotion, not after two seasons in the top flight. A total of 42 games and only 2 points for a win but they still finished 7 points clear. There obviously wasn't the same money around then but the opposition was equally strong, Liverpool still in their prime, Everton, Man City, Arsenal all top class teams. To then go on and win 2 European Cups is far and away superior to what Leicester have done. Leicester have played very well this season BUT............. 1.They ducked out of both domestic cups at a very early stage. 2.They have been very lucky to have hardly any injuries at all compared to several of the 'big' teams. 3.All of the 'big' teams have been heavily involved in domestic and/or European cup competitions. 4.And the biggest bonus of all for Leicester and something that may never happen again for a very long time, every single one of the 'big' teams had a very inconsistent season, all together and at the same time. The dice fell very nicely for Leicester and I don't begrudge them their success but I still do not think it ranks with a league title at the first attempt followed by two European Cups with what was on paper a very ordinary team. |
