OFH I guess you meant in ten games in the "Premiership" In the old first division we beat them 5-0 at home in 1985 I believe, the same year we put five past Chelsea and Tottenham away from Ohhhhhhh if only we could repeat that this year
Did you know - Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has only saved 50% of the shots on target he's faced this season - the lowest figure in the top flight.
5-1. The only thing I remember about the whole game was assisting in stretchering off Luther Blissett that night... going round behind the old Main Stand and shuffling him into the Doctor's office and onto his treatment table and waiting for the professional paramedics to turn up for hand-over. The doctor who came in was a certain Dr Dore who was a GP at the South Oxhey surgery: a big, rotund, whisky breath and ***-ash Doc! How times have changed! I was on the back page of rupert murdoch's rag next morning.... Couldn't tell you who scored, when, how exciting the game was (hang on, we beat Man Utd 5-1, how exciting could it possibly be?) or pretty much anything!
A few pubs I know have a game called last man standing. You pick a different premier league team to win every week and, if you as it says, the last person in wins. A couple of my mates have picked us to win which worries me!
And Merson.. The bloke predicting with Lawro thinks we are a town in Southern Ireland.. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/football/45435523
For the first time in the Premiership I feel reasonably confident I always think we can win every game But now we appear to have the right squad with the right manager, a bit of strengthening in January and a top ten finish is realistic
Duggie you forgot the screamer from Yannie, and the two shots by Pereyra from a narrow angle as he drives into the box, and Hughes picking up a bad clearance and putting it low in the righthand corner. So 14 on-targets. OFH says we get 50% so that is 7. So I predict we win 7-1 and go top of the table ps. As many have said we all know the bubble will burst but I'm for sure enjoying it while it lasts Haven't seen the local Spurs fan here for 2 weeks. Very odd
The mystery is (for all teams) why players can pass the ball 50 yards with pinpoint accuracy, and 10-20 yards under pressure, with a success rate of 80-90 % , but shoot with a success rate of well under 20 %. WFC are currently the best at converting shots to goals (9 goals from 48) in the league. THE BEST - and only 18% success! I think it's because it's ll power when they shoot, and accuracy when they pass. If they could train themselves to think accuracy first (and practise it relentlessly until it's second nature to find the corners of he goal, thereby removing the goalkeeper from the equation) we would win games where we are second best in other departments ! Not that it seems necessary just now.
