i was curious so i had a look to see how much the actual quality difference is and how horrifically hard it is to stay up now as a promoted champ team sunderland spent £162m burnley spent £111m leeds spent £98m **** me, thats ridiculous aint it? and the prem compared to the other leagues is just hard to comprehend please log in to view this image and this got my attention, if we are talking about well run clubs... Bournemouth spent £120m received £207m a net spend of negative £87m!! bonkers
I was at this game, Hesford was crap but injured his back in the first half which may excuse him for barely moving, and Peter Swan played in goal for the whole of second half!
Can't have been the whole of the 2nd half as Bournemouth scored at both ends. Must've been after the 5th went in. Maybe should've tried Swanny in goal after that instead of Hesford! (in future games I mean)
Swan was in goal when the fifth goal was scored. City did really well to get back in the game considering, and I don’t remember him making any saves. It was August and Appleton had just come back, we didn’t win a game until about November!
Same as Hesford then . Didn't pick up it was Swanny in goal for the 5th - explains the wooden stance!
It's baffling to me that managers keep trying to enforce their playstyle and don't try and adapt when it is clearly not working for them. It's as if they don't know that football is a results business.
That suggests to me you never saw Norman play. On a different note, Norman was battling with Neville Southall for Wales No. 1 goalkeeper. It was only Southall being in Div 1 that had him in goal. Norman was significantly better week in week out. MotD were spunking over fatty Southall's saves, when Norman made him look average.
What is it with NFL? Are they trying to generate a global market? Pittsburgh Stealers vs Minnesota Vikings is being played in Dublin tomorrow.
When did it become the rule that the ref explains the VAR decision over the PA as in the Chelsea v BHA game?
