"Great clubs like Ajax aren't able to compete with Premier League teams." Or it seems, other Eredivisie teams: https://www.tntsports.co.uk/football/eredivisie/2023-2024/standings.shtml 35 points behind PSV that season. You might have expected somebody who champions the traditional European...

True, but then very few fans were mentioned by name. A lot of us are grateful every time we visit. Attilla's comment about 'We did that' must be a feeling shared by all of those who did the work of which you speak and were able to visit. It's important that we acknowledge and remember them...

My uncle had a 'Video 2000' recorder. He was a gadget freak and would tell us how much better the picture quality was. He glossed over the fact that the tapes were like C90s and had to be turned over halfway through a film.

The documentary could have been a twelve part series, but the more of our memories that went in would make it more and more of a piece to serve Brighton fans and nobody else. As it is, it tells a truly remarkable story and stands far enough apart from the other, more squad & pitch related...

Wonderful.. You don't realise how the travails and triumphs of this club have punctuated our lives. Not only a journey from Hereford to here, but also for me, from youth to marriage, to fatherhood, to the kids being adults. Love to all who have been on the journey and particularly to those...

About to start

The two teams either side of us shows the anomaly. Wigan's decades of seasons at 93rd or below, previous to their election to the league are not considered in the calculation of their average position. Oldham's two seasons in the fifth tier have been in the last couple of years, so are included...

Yes, sorry.

I understand that, but they haven't taken a consistent approach to which seasons are included. As per my post mentioning Boston United, they have included seasons below the top four teams for some, but not for others.

Yes, I read yours after I'd finished writing and posting mine. The disadvantage of my not being able to sum things up succinctly. :ROFLMAO:

I don't think it can be doing that as it has Liverpool top of the average league positions table, but behind Man United on the all time league table. Man United have won and drawn more games, but also lost more games. Their position has been calculated on 122 seasons, compared with Liverpool's...

Something up with the method there. Wigan Athletic didn't join the league until 1978. We joined the third division in 1920. So for 58 years we were definitely higher up the pyramid than Wigan. They are a placed above us calculating their record from 1978 onwards without any weighting for...

And German and Spanish apparently. That's invaluable. He could speak to Igor, Estupinan, Gruda, Pedro, Enciso, all of the English speakers, Hurzeler and half the coaching team in their own languages. Imagine how many times that could come in useful. "Minhas sinceras desculpas pelo meu erro...

Many fine roles, but in our house he'll forever be remembered for his guest appearance in 'A Very Peculiar Practice'. Particularly the much repeated line: 'My compliments to the chef and would he care for a fist fight with Professor Furey?'

The last time I ate at the Hungry Monk they served petit fours with after dinner coffee and one was a banoffee pie inspired chocolate. Had neither biscuit or pastry, but it was very nice. Replace everything in life with chocolate.* How could you go wrong? * -Except tea pots. Who do you...

He's on a list.

Whilst I've no doubt that Joel could currently do a decent job for any international side, I can fully understand why the Dutch wouldn't want to pick him. He's 32 and will be 34 by the next World Cup. Age gets to us all. We're currently witnessing the decline in England's first choice right...

He never looked bothered by Zaha.

It's a no from me. I don't want the Dutch to play England and have to join in the outrage when he mugs off Declan Rice again. It doesn't seem to have done the mental health of Arsenal fans much good.
