In response to a comment on another thread that all 1980s football was League 2 standard, how about some of that decade's finest moments from those of us who were there?
I could start with one of ours but, instead, plumped for this, because it's ICONIC.
Regular discussions on here about "Potter too good for players" / players not good enough. So, how many of today's squad would get into our first ever PL squad? Name for name.
Here's the first squad of 25
Baldock, Samuel*
Bong, Thomas Gaetan
Duffy, Shane Patrick Michael*
Dunk, Lewis Carl*...
The problems, since Palace, have been well discussed on here. Today exposed even more. They say never play the blame game but I'm afraid it's time to, before we end up nice-passing our way to the Championship where we will have 90% possession and 40 shots a game and still not go back up. Whose...
Oh dear.
Celtic lose to St Mirren at home for the first time in 31 years :lolol:

But concerningly.....
It was harsh on St Mirren, yet they responded within minutes. Not for the first time this season, Shane Duffy was found wanting. The...
......who would snap him up next?
Or, how in demand is our coach?
Would the "best English coach in the PL" get snapped up by another Premier League club? He should do with that rep, right? Or a big Continental club? Or would it be back to one of Europe's lesser known sides?
Poll to follow.
It's been a shit year, so I'm going posh to celebrate its demise.
Sushi delivery soon to be washed down with a Soto Junmai Daiginjo.
A dram or two of 18 Year Old Talisker for the bit in between. :whisky:
South Ridge 2015 sparkling for midnight.
Get tae f**k 2020.
A Happy New Year to each...
Many point to Giraffe 's tracker as a reliable guide to avoid bed wetting and, indeed, it has been so in the past.
However, there clearly is a lot of worry around at the moment, so why?
Let's take the same premise that you need 40 points. That means we need 27 points from 22 games. About 1.2...
Time to start a petition to have the Premier League decided on xG.
Actual goals and points are so passe, darling. So 1990s. Simply used to measure success by AMF dinosaurs drinking lager and wearing Stone Island.
Furthermore, if tied on xG, you could then split teams by amount of facial hair...
A bit of a touchy one this as it might be seen as criticising TB's master plan when it's his money. But it is just a question I've posed to a couple of other people today and wondered what NSC thought.
Can you have a top to bottom club "good" style when your player budget is at the low end of...
Kicking off the festivities with a session IPA or two from those good people at The Foghorn.
No doubt moving on to either port or single malt as the night draws in.
Merry Christmas Everyone :xmas: :cheers: :whisky:
Good question on Albion Roar this week. Would you prefer to be watching us playing backs to the wall stuff in the Premier League or "Brazil 1970" in The Championship?
Poll to follow. There is no fence.
Do we need a Manager with sole responsibility for picking the side AND getting in his own players, a Head Coach under Ashworth or a Manager but who works with Recruitment, vetoing.
Recent Head Coaches - Hyypia, Garcia, Potter
Recent Managers - Hughton.
A few rumblings on other threads, so time for a definitive POLL.
How much are you loving the Premier League experience on a scale of 1-10. One being that you have given up watching or are about to due to the PL and 10 being that it is the best thing since a Peter Ward hattrick.
I am about a 3...
