    Belongs to the UK - don't start me on that one. An utterly shameful story of greed, abuse and bullying perpetrated against the Chagos islanders. For their part alone in compounding the islanders' misery, the House of Lords deserves to be disbanded. :emoticon-0121-angry

    Yes, of course. They are the only managers to have got us to a major semi-final, either FA & League Cup. As well as the FA Cup SF against Southampton in 2003, Ray Lewington got us to a League Cup SF against Liverpool (two 0-1 defeats) and was then sacked 2 months later!

    GT of course got us to 2 FA Cup SFs at Villa Park but also got us to the League Cup SF in 1979, against Forest (then European Champions). We lost but had our revenge eighteen months later in 1980.

    Over to you NZ!

    I don't think so. At least it is not what I had in mind. Leicester may be about to be excluded from this group.
