He will have you twitching!!

 

Real Mallorca have managed to match the achievements of the select few in football, following in the footsteps of Manchester City, Norwich, QPR, and Southampton in getting back to back promotions from the third tier to the first. Apologies if I have missed any other club.

 

Hopefully get to see our new signing in action tonight against Mauritania.

 

I'm pleased for players that they get selected for their country, but it is still a bit scary

 

The greatest achievement of all was Wimbledon going from Div 4 to Div 1 in just four season in the 80's. They don't make your list though as it took them two seasons in Div 2.

 

Or Swansea Div 4 to Div 1 and back to Div 4 in 9 years.

San Siro to be knocked down and rebuilt as renovation not considered viable.

 

So glad I went there, once in a lifetime

 

I wonder how many English clubs have played there since Saints did in 2016?

 

Only Spurs I think? Only 3 years though tbf.

 

I was just wondering about us being one of the last English teams to play there, which is quite an honour.

 

Yeah I missed that, long day

 

Never happened

 

England 3-2 up in third U21 game. 10 mins to go.
3-3 England have lead 3 times.

 

Duckenfield to face retrial.

 

Feels like this will never have an end. What's the bet he dies before the end of the trial.
Feel very sorry for those families who have fought this for so long.

 

Didn’t Northampton or a similar team do much the same in I think the nineties. Lowest division through to top of div 1 then straight back down to the lowest div.?? Or am I mistaken?

 

Rooney again.

 

fair play Wayne
